Hi Ron, This may be a shot in the dark BUT.....I posted some obits to GenConnect on the Stoddard County, Missouri site. The name LENORA BLANKENSHIP is in 2 obits as a survivor. She was a sister of ONIE HOOKS whose stepmother was a Trotter. These HOOKS and TROTTER lines tie in with the TROTTER and MAULDING families from Hamilton County, Illinois.
