My great grandmother Jessie May/Mae Dyer was born April 2, 1872, in Iowa we believe. Both of her parents died while the family was on a wagon train going west around 1874-75. I think the wagon train originated in Iowa and that her parents died while still in Iowa. A couple named William H. & Betsy LAWTON adopted her in Iowa when she was 2-3 years old, and she grew up there.

I am trying to find information about her BIOLOGICAL parents the Dyers, who died in Iowa, around 1874-75.

Thanks!
