Notes
a. Note:   RFN170 BIOGRAPHY NOTE: Ubbe and Janna Beving came to America in 1864, spending a few years near Freeport, Illinois and later moving to a farm near Cleves, Iowa. Jan and Gepke left Germany on 14 April 1866, spending six weeks on the ocean, and making their home with Ubbe. Jan worked In Illinois for several years, later coming to Ackley, Iowa and settling on a place near Wellsburg. Dirk and Trientje Beving emigrated to America in the spring of 1867 with their three youngest children. In May of that year, they arrived at Forreston, Illinois when Dirk was 18 years of age. This is also the same community that the Jakob Smidt family had come to in the autumn of 1856. The next spring, in 1868, they moved to Iowa, as did the Smidt family not long after. There is no record that the families actually knew each other then, but having come from the same part of Germany, talking the same East Friesian dialect, and having arrived in the same Illinois community, it is likely that they had become acquainted. The Bevings bought a farm near Cleves, Iowa. INFORMATION SOURCE Beving Family History of Rev. Jackson E. Smith
