I am looking for information on my gr. grnadfather, Christian ERNST/EARNST. He married Marie b. c. 1873, about 1822. He had children Mary Anna b.1823, Hiriam,b. 1827, and Joel b. 1834/36. Son Hiriam went to Iowa, Joel to Waterville, WA. He had a farm in, I am assuming from the information I have,in first Edward county, and then Wabash. I understand that Edward is adjacent to Wabash and they were one of the same in the early years.
