If you have family from the southwestern part of Clay County, please visit my Clay County American History and Genealogy Project page, and search through new transcriptions for Swartwood and Wesleyan cemeteries. I have also started indexing the plat maps which are on the site so the names on the township maps will be searchable. I'm going to Clay County in a couple of weeks to transcribe Athelstane and Mizpah cemeteries and possibly a couple more, time and weather permitting. Does anyone have a cemetery they would like to have surveyed, if I have the time? Clay County AHGP: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ksclay/index.html Thanks! Sheryl
If you happen to come across a Charles Stewart who died in 1878, let me know. lol I have a photo of his grave, but don't know where he is buried. (I haven't researched it, either.) I love your website. Do you ever plan on including photos there? I have a very rich history of ancestors from the 1870s that settled in Clay County. I have some neat old photos of a threshing bee and one of a Clay County fair. Of course lots of relatives, too, but the former would be of general interest. I also had a small amount of info on some one-room school houses, along with some photos from early turn of the century, and my grandmother's Clay Center annual from...gosh, 1917? I'd have to look. I have emailed the usgenweb clay county site offering look up services for that yearbook but never got a response from them. I did send my info to the Kansas one-room schoolhouse project and it is there, but thought I'd offer since this is county specific. Thanks for taking the time to make a great website. I appreciate your efforts!
