I didn't get in on the first of this. Medical problems. If it isn't too much trouble, I have some ancestors who are being evasive and would appreciate a lookup in your book. They came from Kentucky to NorthEast Missouri before 1840. Duvall, Nicholas Duvall, William Story, Smith James H. Long Thank you in advance. Roberta

Greetings Robert & Listers, This is a long shot for your missing Duvall's. R's and V's can look so similar when transcribed. Perhaps they were aka. as Durall?. This information is based upon correspondence with Christopher B. Durall in 2003 and is shared here as something to contemplate: In Chariton Twp., Lucas Co., IA, the 1860 Federal Census [IGS publ., p. 27] shows that two Durall families were present there, [both were sons of John Durall, b.1797, Dunlap Co., NC and of Eliza Jane Zimmerman, b. 1805, Illinois. [Eliza d. in 1850 at Pike Co. Illinois. while her husband, John, d. at Chariton Twp., Lucas Co, IA in 1856, buried at Douglass Cemetery. Perhaps after Eliza died in 1850, John moved onward with his adult children, some staying at Lucas Co., IA . The two of their children in this particular 1860 census were: At dwelling # 213, Benoni S. [Stinson] Durall, age 31, b. Indiana [elsewhere, KY] m. to Mary A. [Webb], age 31, b. Indiana. They had three Iowa born children, in 1860: Wm. F., age 7; David S., age 5, and Duran, age 3. Living with them was a 19y farmer, Howard Rodgers. [ Benoni d. at Chanute, Neosho Co, Kansas in 1881.] Five households away, #217, lived Duran [aka Durin] Durall, age 37, b. KY [Muhlenburg Co, Kentucky]. His wf, Frances M. [Frances Marion Johnson], age 26, b. KY [Lawrenceburg, Anderson Co, Kentucky]. [This couple d. at Logan Co., Oklahoma.] Living with them in 1860 at Chariton Twp, were 4 children: Wm, 10; Mary E., 6, Cora, 4 and Daniel?, 2. All b. Iowa. One son, possibly your Misourri connection, d. at Kansas City, MO: Sylverster L. Durall. Another d. at Oklahoma, as above. If nothing else, Roberta, perhaps it's a thought to check that spellling or names within that family to determine if it's a name variation for your family search.
