The book was in the library at the Iowa Historical Society. Next time I go to he historical society for research, I'll see if I can get the authors name. There was a short biography of David Simons as well as his son William along with tons of other Warren Co., Iowa people. I since have found out that the book had Amanda's last name as Hun but I found her on ancestry.com and the name was spelled Hunn.
