If you wish to have this information, please let me know. The list is very extensive!!! I believe I have at least 50 1 st, 2 nd and 3 rd cousins in Michigan! This is a photo of Pamela Pribble, with her husband and their two children, Chelsea and Charles. In an e-mail to korns.org preceding the above Korns genealogy article, Pamela wrote Here's how I am related to the Hardens: Margaret Troutman's mother was Mary Eliza Harden (her father/grandfather/great grandfather: George Harden; Isaac Harden; and David George Harden). Mary Eliza married Charles Troutman. Page 4 of 5
Mary & Charles Troutman moved to Iowa sometime after Margaret was born (I have her birthplace in Pennsylvania); they are buried in Fairview Cemetery, Palermo Twp., Grundy Co., Iowa. I am speculating: they must have followed Peter Troutman (Charles' uncle) to Iowa. Margaret and her husband, Henry, resided in Anita, Blackhawk Co., Iowa. My great grandfather (Margaret's son), Charles Houck, was born in Grundy Center, Grundy Co., Iowa; resided and is buried in Van Wert, Decatur Co., Iowa. My grandfather, Melvin Houck, was born in Corydon, Wayne Co., Iowa. It seems they moved around quite a bit within Iowa. This is what I have discovered about Margaret's husband, Henry Houck...his family is from Pennsylvania/Ohio. I visited a town in Ohio that my great grandfatherx4 Houck settled...he has a street and a cemetery named after him. Page 5 of 5
