Yes, he did live in Schuyler Co., Missouri! I was not sure what his parents names were or if he was born in Schuyler Co. MO. I have just started looking so I am realizing there seems to be alot of Farris's in the MO area. I got some recent information that may be helpful. It's listed below: There is a 4 year-old "Dudley", born in MO, living in Independence Twp., with parents A.D. & Sarah Faris, siblings - Martha, John D., Mary J., & Emeline. Both parents are born in KY. In the 1850, 1860 Census.. Seems there may be more information. I need to look into this some more. I will keep in touch.
