the time frame, could very well, be the 2nd, child, we have no way of knowing ,his first name , we do no he came from the kansas,or missouri area, as , he married my grandmother,she was in iowa,and was of indian descent.we know he burnt in a house fire ,most think possbily lansing,but not for sure , the kids ended up in st marys orphanage,for a time after his death,my grandmother s name was nancy moreland , and she was born 1873-74,she died and is buried in lansing ,iowa , had remarried a man named george white,do, you know where the 3rd child went or anything about him,did his family ,have some kind of fruit orchard, or something of that nature, if so ,then he would be the one we are looking for,he died around 1920-24,as my dad was born in 1914, and his brother in 1912, his brother only had to be in the orpanage a short , so he was about 12, let me know , ok and thanks.marie
