I am going to post the following query here on the mailing list before adding it to the Scott County Query Page, in case some of you might be able to help Geraldine with it. Those of you researching the Wilson family may be interested to know that Mrs. O. Alden Smith does plan to finish the book "Wilsons West" that Alden was working on. I don't know just when she hopes to have it finished but will try to find out. Delaine Edwards Looking for information concerning these families,FARMER,WILSON, EASTERS,COLE,RILEY. I believe my FARMER ancestor was the Finis E. FARMER b. MO listed in the 1850 Scott Co., Hickman Twp. He supposedly married a Rebecca WILSON b.IN and had sons, John b.1835, Jim, and twins, Crittenden and Littleton FARMER b.1851, and possibly others. The parents, Finis and Rebecca FARMER, both died sometime bet.1851 and 1860,leaving orphans, because the children were "farmed out" in the 1860 census. Crittenden Farmer showed up in the S.S.EASTERS household in the 1860. I am thinking they may be relatives somehow,but how? I know there were connections with the WILSONS, COLES, EASTERS, and possibly RILEYS. We never found Littleton FARMER in the 1860 census. Anyone researching in Scott Co. let me know if seeing these names together rings a bell with your family. The WILSON and COLE families, and FARMER children ended up in Yell Co. in later census records. I do not know the parents of Finis FARMER or of his wife Rebecca WILSON. I am especially interested in hearing from WILSON descendants if you recognize these given names of WILSONS: Robert b.1824 IN, Abram b.1821 IN, George b.1815 GA or TN, Nelly b. 1791 0r 1783 NC, Elizabeth b. 1803 VA Geraldine Farmer gfarmer@mail.snider.net
