Conf: Jefferson Co. Queries

Am hoping to find some info regarding this gentleman, my great-great grandfather, or any family members.

He and his wife, Elvira Dwelly Bronson,
apparently moved from Lake Co. Ill. in 1858 to Jefferson Township, home steading land in "section 33"(?) He died September 8, 1887 in Circleville. Elvira, on November 26, 1881.

They had 10 children, (DOB's unknown):
Horace (children: George, Annie, Will)
Hiram (married Mary Ellen Hinton 1874) children: Bert, Frank, Cora, one other unknown
Dwelly (2 0f 4 children: Rosie & Homer)
Elmira (Mrs. George Kane) children: Edward,
Flo, Mae
Emily (Mrs. George Sharpe)
Charles (children, Charles & Effie)
Franklin
Eliza (Mrs. Henry Heathman) Children: Mabel
and Nora
Mabel married Clarence Burrell.
Ella (Mrs. Graham Dayton)and (Mrs. Sam Segrist) Son: Lloyd Segrist (Kansas City)
Mary Anne (died in infancy)

This info was obtained from a letter written in 1930 by Mrs. Bert Bronson (Edna) some info is conflicting, at the beginning, the Bronson's came to Jackson Co., later she reports it as Jefferson Co. The last family reunion was held in Havensville, 9-16-1928.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!!
