Notes for JAMES WESLEY SUMMERS: Uncle Will Summers said that his Dad (James Wesley) died in Bernie, Mo and there was a tombstone for him, but the last time that he visited the grave it was gone. Uncle Will has died and no one knows where this grave is. Also that his mother died enroute to Mo and was buried along the trail. Notes for MARY ANN MOON/MATHIS? I have a marriage license for Mary Ann Moon and Preston Black, I have recently made a contact with a Mathis person that has information that Preston's wife is Anna Mathis, but they have never found a marriage record?
