Ken and Eleanor, I have William 'Isaac' Farris who according to census was born in Indiana. Headstone says 1822 to 14 Feb 1900. He is buried in Randolph County, MO. I have no idea who his parents were. He married Mahala Ann Roberts Byram in Schuyler County, MO 1848. They were in Schuyler County, MO census 1850 and 1860. I have been unable to locate them in 1870. Their oldest son married in Randolph County, MO about 1874. By 1880 they are in Randolph Co, Prairie Twp, near Higbee. Maybe there is a connection here also. Cindy
