Madison/ Mattison/ Matteson Vermont to Iowa



Madison, Mattison, Matteson,  Vermont to Iowa

By SusiCP@cox.net

a Descendant

Today after working two hours in the yard, I came in to give my shoulder a break.
Guess what I found on Ancestry.com?  Actual physical records confirming what I learned in Grand Rapids, MI last spring regarding my GGGrandmother Susan Madison Jones. She was married to Noyes Jones.

Amazing totally amazing Susan's parents are buried in Lapeer Co. MI.

Even finding records verifying her parents and her Grandparents in VT records. About 40 years of digging, and finally they surface. First thanks to the DAR people at Grand Rapids event.

Not finding proof I was about to give up that they were the right people.

Yesterday------- Tomorrow

This was long ago.  Traveled far and used by many.

                                       This is today. Can you date this by the drawer pulls?
                                        Or by design?
                                        It was made by hand very long ago, solid wood. My
                                        Grandfather's, came from Iowa to Wyo to CA.  May
                                        have come from PA to  IA.
