Georgia, passed away 15 Nov 1931 in Phelps County Missouri. He married VanDilla (Vandella) Stogstill who was born 3 April 1856 in Indiana and passed away 17 Sept 1931, Cold Spring, Phelps County, MO. Their children were John Henry, Hester Eveline (my great grandmother), Michael, George Columbus, Frank, and Agnes Alice. The story goes that he was left behind from or ran away from a wagon train in Missouri. At age 14 it shows him as a farmhand in Missouri. Some family members have said his mother was poss. Cherokee Indian who walked the Trail of Tears. We have no other info to go on. Any help would be so appreciated! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
