I read with great interest the discussion a couple of months back concerning the migration of so many Macoupin Co. residents to Barton Co., MO. In 1866, my g-g-grandparents Thomas J. Finley and Leah Rees Finley moved from Macoupin to Barton Co. I could never figure out what prompted that move until I read the discussion about the Missouri Immigration Association. I'd be willing to bet my bottom dollar that was the motivating force behind the move. Has anyone found out any additional information about this company? Are there any other sources that could be used to research the MIA that anyone knows of? Thanks! Jill Adami
