I'm searching for information on a Christian Iman (or Eyman?) who had a son, Christian in 1800. The younger Christian died in 1850 of cholera at the age of 50, and was married to a Mary Whiteside in 1828 in Monroe County Il. Some notes suggest that this Christian migrated to Illinois from Hardy about 1816, perhaps with the father Christian. I'm wondering if this Christian might be a brother of Emanuel.
I'm struggling to piece together lineage of a Felix Grundy Iman who was an early pioneer in the Pacific Northwest. Felix settled in Oregon in 1854 and his life and times are described at
