Faye, I just read the nest posting on rootsweb and saw that it wasn't a picture of Stone Church. Thanks anyway. Vicki

Still learning!! It seems the "mess" was captured and you were spared after all. Anyone interested in a picture of Antioch Baptist Church, Rosebud, Pope Co. let me know and I will try to send it to your own E-mail address.

Please accept my apology for the mess you got instead of the beautiful church picture. Tell me the best way to electronically share pictures. Faye

I would like to receive a picture of Antioch Baptist Church, Rosebud, Pope County.

Faye. Most of the time I send out pics as an attachment, thanks Denise Gibbs Kneifel

Judy, Can you help identify the William BELCHERs shown in your message. I think the two marriages to Sarah FORD and Nancy BREEDON are the same William BELCHER. The two later marriages to Martha BAKER and Fannie HUDSON, I would think, may be a different William BELCHER. Can anyone clarify?

Yes Sam, this is the same Sarah Ford and William C. Belcher. Sarah lived with her son Henry Newton Belcher (my grandfather) in Stoddard Co., MO when she died. I have this information verbally from my mother prior to her death in 1994 and then in a copy of the Civil War pension records another cousin, Trish, sent to me. My mother wrote down on a note that Sarah was buried in Pleasant Valley Cemetery near Dexter, MO in an unmarked grave. She and another of her cousins and their nephew (from the Dexter area) personally looked for the grave with the intention of purchasing a marker, but although they had been at the cemetery many years earlier, they could not find the grave site. Too many benchmarks had changed and Mother just couldn't remember the place. I had just assumed that William Carroll Belcher was buried there also. When I found that grave listed for another William C. Belcher, I really didn't think he was mine. I had found two William C. Belchers in the Adjutant General's Report for Co. G, fourteenth Cavalry for IL. One was from Pope County, Il and one from Vienna, Johnson Co., IL. So, I just assumed that the grave was probably for the "other" one. After reading the papers Trish shared, I realized I had made a BIG mistake in ASSUMING. Judy Smith, jcsearch@wholenet.net

Elden Hatcher came by Dixon Springs a few weeks ago to talk to my Steven Robbs. He is the grandson of Claude Dallas and Maud Robbs. They are looking for relatives. Anyone out there no anything about Claude. Their daughter is Elden's mother.

The two I listed were only two Belcher's buried in the cemetery. (Also the only two in the entire book.)
