Joe: ] Can you tell me what might have happened to people who moved to Cooper County Missouri in about 1860. Did they stay (in your opinion) there when the war broke out or did they run North. Born in Pennsylvania, pioneered West, parents were in Iowa. I was never able to find them after the l860 census anywhere.Whittinger was their name, unusual out west and near impossible to ev er find, strange? any suggestions, input? Thanks, Jo in Michigan
