Hi I read with much interest the inclosed message. I am seeking a Isaac Farris/Pharis who possibly was in Missouri for a short time in the 1840/50's. This Isaac married an unknown d/o Richard Thompson/Thomson about 1805 in Russell Co., Va.. Was in Russell Co. 1810 and in Lawrence Co., Ky. in the 1820's before going to Jefferson Co., Indiana in 1830. I have been unable to locate Isaac after 1830 and there is a possibility that he removed to Missouri where many of the Thompson's of Lawrence Co., Ky. were in the late 1840's. Do you see any connection ? kt Eleanor W DuBois wrote: > Dear Annette, > > Did your Elias live in Schuyler Co., Missouri? If so, I think we are > looking at the same family, and it isn't easy.
