My immediate
ancestors lived in Monona and Woodbury counties, located in west-central Iowa
between Onawa and Sioux City near the Missouri River. This is the area in which
the Pullen, Smith, Olson, Peterson, Cassady, Holmes, Pike, and Whiting Families
married.
My first Pullen ancestor to reach America was Nicholas Pullen of Rehoboth, Mass.
Nicholas was born in 1683 and was christened in Widworthy Parish, Devon,
England. My direct branch of the Pullen family went from
Massachusetts>Maine>Iowa and settled in Monona County Iowa.
My Whiting Family has been in the United States since the 1630's. They settled
in Dedham, Massachusetts. From Dedham, my Whiting family migrated to New York>Ohio>Monona
County, Iowa and settled in an area known as “The Whiting Settlement”.
My Olson family immigrated from Norway
and my Peterson family immigrated from Sweden and they settled in the Albaton
area of Monona county in the mid 1800's.
