Looking for information on 'Daniel HELMS', and his wife, Grace J. YEAGER.

Daniel HELMS was apparently born in Indiana around the year 1844. He came to Kansas sometime after the age of 14. He may have came with his brothers (Samuel & Isaac), where they joined 3 of their sisters (Nancy, Lucinda & Susan) and their husbands, who apparently had apparently previously moved to southeast Kansas. An older brother (Michael), and possibly younger brothers and sister, (John Henry, Martin D., and Catherine A.); [depending on when they came to Kansas, Martin and Catherine might not have been born yet.], apparently remained in Indiana. Daniel would have arrived in Kansas in 1873 or 1874. The 1850 and 1860 Indiana census shows Daniel, his father, and mother and what are assumed to be, all, his brothers and sisters at that time.

Daniel and his wife Grace, first lived in a simple one room house, located a mile south of the second house, that Daniel later built on the 80 acres (N. 1/2 of S. 1/4, of 16-25-21, in Marmaton Township, Allen County), 3 1/2 miles southwest of Bronson, Kansas. (It is now known as the Old George Broughton farm.)

Daniel and Grace are buried in the 'Old Elsmore Cemetery' in Allen Co, KS.

Any information on this family would be greatly appreciated.
