They were the parents of 11 children - John, Linas Sheldon, Lowry Newton, Christian Cobault, Elizabeth (Ford), Tabitha, Henry Barkey, Amanda (Kenniston), Peter L., Mary Etta (McCroskey) and David Banes Ayres. A TOPICAL HISTORY of CEDAR COUNTY, IOWA 1910 - David Ayres grew to manhood in his native state and in Venango county, Pennsylvania, was married May 5, 1840, to Miss Mary Ann Walter, whose birth occurred in that county, August 14, 1819. Her parents were John and Elizabeth (Walter) Walter, who spent their entire lives in the Keystone state. Mr. and Mrs. Ayres continued to reside in Venango county until 1854, when they came to Cedar county, Iowa, with their five children, all of whom were born in Pennsylvania. Six others were added to the family after locating here and in order of birth they are as follows: Sheldon and Cobault, who died in Pennsylvania in boyhood; John, who died during the first year of their residence in Iowa at the age of fourteen; Lowry N., whose name heads this sketch; Elizabeth, the widow of Jonathan Ford and a resident of Sugar Creek township; Amanda, the wife of C. V. Kenneson of Nebraska; Henry Barkey of Wilton, Iowa; Peter, a resident of Inland township; Etta, the wife of William McCroskey, of Center township; Tabitha, who died in infancy; and Banes, who also died in infancy. The father became one of the most extensive landowners in this section of the state, having about one thousand acres in four different townships. He continued to follow farming through life, making his home at Ayresville and taking a very active and prominent part in church work. He was instrumental in securing the first preacher who came to this locality from the east and organized the Meneca church. In politics he was first a whig and later a republican and always took a commendable interest in public affairs. After a useful and well spent life he passed away on the 15th of October, 1901. His widow still survives him and continues to make her home in Ayresville, where at the age of ninety-one years she is still living, enjoying excellent health, being able to make and take care of her own garden and mow her own lawn. Until about a year ago she also kept and milked one cow, making all the butter for her own use. She is a woman of remarkable vitality and is loved and respected by all who know her.
