1853 is a little early for that kind of record in
Iowa. If you are trying to prove descent, your best bet may be the 1860-1900 census, the 1925
Iowa census (parents names were given) if he was still in
Iowa in 1925, land records and/or estates/will records for his father and/or mother. You might try usgenweb.com for
Iowa and
Wright County, but I don't think the birth records go back that far.
