I am searching for any information on my great great grandfather and his lineage. My g-g grandfather name was Edward McClelland Boone he was born in Boone County Iowa in December 1867 or 1868.

HIs mom's name was Mary M. Moyer (she came to Boone County Iowa age 10 with her parents and siblings from Pennsylvania. Her parents were Elias Moyer and Susannah/Susan Young

They came to Boone COunty, Iowa on steamboat Denmark from St. Louis, Missouri
( I can't find the list passenger and steamboat)

Mary (my g-g-g grandmother) was a subscription schoolteacher in Boone County, Iowa (age 17). I want to find the proof that she was a school teacher.. ( I am schoolteacher myself).

I suspect she was pregnant (one night stand) with Edwrad M. Boone (who married to Ellen C. Fish) .

Their son was born on December 17, 1868 (I do not think Edward Boone knew she was pregnant that time he got married to Ellen Fish).

Mary's parents were Elias Ilgen Moyer and Susan/Susannah Moyer. Both are buried in Squire Boone Cemetery in Boone, Iowa.

I am wonderign if there is any old letters, old pictures etc of the Moyer/Boone family.
