Notes: Occupation: farmer Married Cynthia Curler on June 26, 1854 in Delhi, IA. Father of 10 children: 1. Roseanna b. 2 mar. 1856 2. Rosanna b. about 1854 3. Elizabeth "Betsy" b. 1859 4. Margaret b. about 1864 5. Martha Ann b. about 1867 6. Lydia b. about 1869 7. Amelia b. about 1871 8. William A. b. about 1872 9. Jacob - died age 2 months, buried Oak Hill 10. Carrie - died age 21 days, buried Oak Hill For inexplicable reasons, the family surname of George Coonrod seems to have fluctuated between being Coonrod and Conrad. And, although his headstone records his year of birth as 1820 and his death record has it as 1817, census records indicate he was actually born about 1834, and like his father before him, just embellished his age as he grew older.
