3rd Great Grandfather
William Perry Bingaman
b in 1825 in Ohio
d 6 Jun 1888, 62 yrs. 3 mos and 23 days, in LaPorte City, Black Hawk, Iowa at the Bingaman
homestead

ch: *Ellen C Bingaman b. 27 Jul 1848 in Ohio
Ellen was an only child. I have often wondered if �Perry�
was the maiden name of William�s mother. The name was spelled "Bingerman"
on the 1860 census, but the family went by the spelling "Bingaman." He was a
respected farmer in the Black Hawk community. His tombstone reads,
�Gone to sleep, thy journey ended
Peacefully laid down to rest
and even now thy spirit�s blended
with the angels and the blest
Sweetly asleep out dear Grandfather
We will meet thee by and by.�
There is also a picture of a heart in a hand. It is at marker 100 F in Spring Creek
Cemetery, Black Hawk, Iowa.
2nd Great Grandmother

m 1 Jun 1871 to Aquila Walker at LaPorte City, Black Hawk, Iowa
Ellen�s father, William Perry, and her husband, Aquila farmed
on adjacent farms that were part of the original Geren homestead that belonged to
William�s wife�s family.
