HENRY (JR.) STURM and CATHERINE DALRYMPLE STURM
Henry Sturm Jr. was born in Mason Co., Kentucky in 1791, while his father and Henry Weaver were working land there. Kentucky became the fifteenth state in the Union June 1, 1792. They moved shortly after 1796, back to Shelby County, Ohio. Henry married Catherine Dalrymple in 1814 when he was twenty three and she was twenty. She was born in South Carolina Feb. 5, 1795, daughter of George Dalrymple and Ann Miller. Henry Jr. was appointed Constable of Perry Township in Shelby County, Ohio on April 6, 1818 by the trustees of the town, a group which included his father, Henry Sr. The pair had eleven children: George Dalrymple Sturm (1816); Peter Sturm (1817); Rebecca Sturm (1818); William Henry Sturm (who died, killed in battle in 1862) soon after moving to Shelby, Co. Ohio in 1822 where father Henry and mother had lived since 1807); Isaac Sturm (1824); Elizabeth Sturm (1827); Abner J. Sturm (1830); Catherine Sturm (1832) the same year grandfather Henry Sturm died; Nancy Sturm (1834); Margaret J. Sturm (1838, Ohio); and finally Rachel Sturm born (1841) in Stark Co. Illinois where the family had moved around 1836, Henry at the age of 45, Catherine 41. The move of the Sturms to Illinois went in phases, and since Matthias Nicholas and Henry all fought in the war of 1812, they were eligible for federal land in Stark County, Ill. The federal land records show several purchases of land by Henry (2); his son Isaac, John T (Ephraim's son); Joseph (Nicholas' son); Lervis (Lewis?, Nicholas' son); Mathias and Matthias (5) and Nicholas (6) as well as Nicholas II (1) who bought a school in 1836. The election there in August of 1834 saw the name of one Lewis Sturm(s) added to this lists, since he seems to be the first of the Sturm men to settle in Stark County, Illinois. He was about twenty two years old, and he is probably responsible for bringning the rest of the family. By by the county election in August of 1836, of the fifty four votes polled, thirty one were new, including the names of Henry Sturm(s), Mathias Sturm(s) and Henry Seeley among others. Lewis Sturm is assumed to be Henry's nephew, son of Nicholas. The Stark County Illinois census for 1850 lists Henry Sturm, age 58, a farmer, his wife Catharine, age 55, daughter Nancy, 16, Margaret age 12, Rachel age 9 and Lydia P. Phenix age six. His son George D. Sturm is also listed with his family, as well as brother Matthias Sturm Sr. (age 65), Henry Seeley Sturm, age 41, Samuel Sturm (37) Peter, Simon, Abner, and Matthias Sturm Jr. are also listed as heads of families. In Stark County and its Pioneers the Sturms are remembered, many had for a time recorded their last name with an 's':
"The Sturms family had some of them reached Seele's Point in 1834 and detachments continued to arrive from time to time, making claims near the south part of Osceola Grove, till they had a settlement of their own. They were regular frontier's men, every one "mighty hunters:" of tall stature, combining strength and activity in an unusual degree. Wearing an Indian garb of fringed bucksins, their feet encased in mocasins, with bowie knife at the belt and rifle on the shoulder; no wonder many a new comer started from them in affright, supposing they had encountered genuine "scalpers." But these men were by no means as savage as they seemed, but had hearts to which friend or stranger never appealed in vain. Very many old settlers yet remember they got their first slice of meat from a Sturm's pork barrel, their first meal of corn or potatoes from their fields. An as early as 1836 they had horses, cows, and hogs to sell, and in this way aided others not so well provided." (p. 32-33).
The family of Matthias and his son Henry Seeley Sturm is remembered prominently in the history of Stark Co. Illinois. Of Henry Jr. there is only "Besides the large family of Matthias, senior, there was another Henry Sturms, brother of the former, whose children for the most part are residents of Stark County. Of this family, we have even less knowledge." (p. 255 see complete text). Henry Jr. died at age 77 six years after the death of Catherine who died in 1862 at age 67, both in Elmira, Stark County Illinois.

GEORGE DALRYMPLE STURM and Francis Marion Jordon
George was born in Shelby Co, Ohio Sept. 11, 1816 and married Francis Marion Jordan (b. New York or Vermont, Feb. 9, 1828) in 1844 in Stark County, Illinois. (There is a record of a land purchase on April 8, 1850 in Stark, Co. Illinois.) Their first child Henry E. Sturm was born in Black Hawk Co., Iowa in 1845. They then moved to Missouri where their second child was born, Eldridge George Sturm in 1848. The family returned to Stark Co, Illinois where he was listed as a resident in October 1850, while his sister Catherine lived with them. Born that year was Alonza S. (1850). In the 1850 Stark County census the household listing for George D. Sturm, age 28, a farmer, includes Marion age 21, Henry E age 5, Elbridge G age 2 and Catharine Sturm age 18.George and his son Isaac both record federal land purchases on April 8, 1850. They then moved back to Iowa (Ringgold Co.) where son Abner DeForest Sturm was born (Jan. 22, 1853); Elemial Harvey "Lem" Sturm was born in 1857; Octava Minerva Sturm (Mar., 5, 1861 Vandalia, IA). William Rufus Sturm was born in Maines Grove, Iowa (May 26, 1864). George and Francis moved after that to Osage Co., Kansas where they were recorded in the 1870 census, then to Republic Co., KS for the 1875 census and finally to Long Island, Phillips Co., Kansas in 1893 where George dies.
