Then so begins my family in Iowa.If anyone can help me on the Gist,Boyd,Collins,Hammond,Elder,Howard or Murray families it is greatly appreciated. This is from my dads side. My moms side is also from Saponi/Catawba blood from what I know so far.Their names are Floyd,Adams,Evans,DeVault? and Wheeler to name a few.All were in Pennsylvania before moving to Kansas.
