I am new to geneology and am at a loss. I have found Jesse Orval Plants born 15 Apr 1871 in Winfield, Henry, Ia.
He married Margaret Maletta Caldwell 28 Dec 1898. I also know he died 26 Dec 1949 in Creston, Union, Ia. He had 4 children. There is a rumor in the family that the last name used to be Plantz but I can't find Jesse's family, so I have no way to verify and no way to know which ancestors are ours. I know he had brothers for sure. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You, Lorianne Plants
