Notes
(1) The following information on Thomas Rees was obtained from a biography of his son, Daniel B. Rees in the Portrait and Biographical Album, Polk County, Iowa 1890.
Thomas Rees, a Virginian by birth, moved to Clinton, Ohio in early life, and was there married to Sarah Haworth, after which he engaged in farming. Later he left the Buckeye State and became a resident of White River, Indiana, whence, in 1820, he removed to Vermillion County, Illinois. He was one of the earliest pioneers of that region and continued to make his home in that county until 1846, when he emigrated with his family to Polk County, Iowa, using ox-teams and wagons as a means of transportation. Arriving in Polk County on the 1st of June of that year, they found Iowa's capital to be a small military post called Ft. Des Moines. Mr. Rees settled on what was subsequently known as the "six mile strip," which, in January, 1853, was separated from Polk County and attached to Warren County. The death of his wife occurred in 1848, and he subsequently married Lydia Henshaw. He continued his residence on the claim which he had made for a period of twelve years, when he went to Kansas. Three years later he returned to Iowa and settled near Stuart, Guthrie County, where he passed the latter years of his life, his death occurring in 1863. By his first marriage were born six children, three sons and three daughters.
