The following children were also born there: Mary, married David Livingood; Anna, married Gustavus A. Packer; Alecia, died in MO during the Civil War; Eliza, married ___ Ryan; Emma, never married.

They settled on a farm 1 mile NE of Volga City. Jonas and brother-in-law David Livingood had a blacksmith shop in Elkader before the outbreak of the Civil War. - From cousin Elsie Stacy Birkland, 1977 -Not all of the above is correct, see LATEST UPDATE below, ************************* Jonas' obit states he was born in Quebec, however the 1850 census shows that he and all of his siblings were born in Ireland except the youngest, Martha/Mattie, who was born in IL. That census also emumerates Elisha, age 12, of whom nothing else is known- but the lately found emigration record below. The 1860 census, however, shows ALL the children born in Canada. I can't help but wonder as they were Irish and arrived in 1848 during the potato famine, if they tried to be less Irish and more "Canadian" due to the prejudice against the Irish at the time and also claimed an earlier arrival date to not be seen as part of the exodus of poor Irish to America.

Mr. Stacy was born in Ireland, in 1801 (sic), and immigrated to this country when quite young. and for the past 24 years has been a resident of Sperry township. He was universally respected by all, and was honest in all his dealings, a kind husband, a loving father and a good neighbor. By his death he leaves a wife and six children, Mrs. David Livingood of this place, being one daughter. The family have the sympathy of all in their affliction. The remains were buried in the cemetery on the east side, Sunday afternoon, and were followed to their final resting place by a large number of relatives and friends. -Courtesy of the Elkader Public Library. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1850 United States Federal Census about Edward Stacy Name: Edward Stacy Age: 50 Birth Year: abt 1800 Birthplace: Ireland Home in 1850: Deerfield, Lake, Illinois Gender: Male Family Number: 44 Household Members: Name Age Edward Stacy 50 Mary Ann Stacy 44 Jonas Stacy 17 Mary Stacy 15 Elisha Stacy 12 Ann Stacy 10 Eliza Stacy 7 Emma Stacy 4 Martha Stacy 1 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -LATEST UPDATE- record id 158086 name Edward Stacy date arrived 08-21-1848 gender Male age 40 years approx. birth year 1808 occupation Cultivator or Farmer destination USA purpose Staying in the US native country Great Britain embarkation port Liverpool travel compartment Steerage ship name St George Last residence Queens County, Ireland.
