I have a pretty complete picture now of the family. William and his family headed west in 1850. They travelled on the Ohio River to St, Louis where Margaret became ill with cholera and died, she was buried there. William continued with his children to Dane C. WI, where they lived for two years until William died.The children moved to La Crosse Co. WI where the older children managed to keep the family together. I have a feeling some of the other Rands moved at the same time. I'm still piecing it together. Some time around 1870 the Martin V Rands moved to Iowa, their first two children were born in Wisconsin, the last four in Iowa. In 1884-5 they moved to Hood River OR. Along with Robert and family, and two uncles.
