Baldwin are the son and 1st wife of my grandfather George W. Hood of Monroe Co, KY. Thank you for the Clinton Cemetery info on their gravestones. I did not know both were buried there nor their birth and death dates. Since I made my request for Harvey Hood I have found his parents Isaac R. Hood b. Feb 1851 KY and wife, Susan Bannon/Banning b. 1853 MD in the 1880 Clinton Twp, Douglas County, KS census with two daughters Clara b. abt. 1872 IL and Ella May Hood b. abt. 1877 IL. I then located a 1900 census for Isaac R. Hood but he is living with a family he is working for and not with his wife and children in Clinton Twp, Douglas County, KS. Still looking for more census on this family. I found Isaac's daughter Ella May Hood m. Elijah K. Evans in Douglas County, KS on December 25, 1893. In 1920 Skagit County, WA census I located Harvey Hood b. abt 1885 KS and his brother Guy Hood b. abt. 1883 KS. Harvey's wife, Lulu b. abt. 1897 MO and daughter, Fern b. abt. 1916 MO. I am sure this Harvey & Guy are sons of Isaac R. Hood who is brother to my grandfather as it states their father was born KY and mother in MD. I also found a George Scrogham on the 1883 Pensioner's Roll for Douglas County, KS. George W. Scrogham was husand of Mary Sarah Hood who is my grandfather's sister. Am still searching for more information on these Hood family members while they were living in Douglas Co, KS. I have not yet confirmed if Isaac also moved to Skagit Co, WA as I have a 1910 obit for Isaac's mother that states he was living in the state of Washington. Thanks again for your help and really appreciate the information you sent.

Found a couple items that may be associated with your Harvey Hood, though not probably directly. There is an index for early entries in newspapers of Lawrence, KS. The following is in reference to Republican Daily Journal of 2 Nov. 1877. There is some type news item on page 4 of that newspaper regarding a Mr. A. H. Hood. There was also a notice of death of an infant son of ___ Hood, died 11 Sep. 1879 (In Lawrence Daily Journal) From cemetery records--The following in Clinton Cem. , Douglas Co. KS-- Cora A. (Baldwin) Hood, b. 30 Oct. 1860, d. 21 Nov. 1893, wife of G. W. Hood. Harry I. Hood, b. 21 Aug. 1891, d. 22 Jan. 1957. These appear to be in same lot and would appear to be mother and son, though that is not stated. Have not found any reference to a Harvey Hood.

Will try to give you some of the info. you are requesting. Palmyra no longer exists as a town in Douglas Co. It was combined into what in presently Baldwin City, in the southeast part of the County. However, Baldwin City is in Palmyra Township of Douglas Co., so the name still exists regarding townships. You mention that Fannie Tucker was a graduate of Baldwin College. The College/Univ. that exists at Baldwin City is actually named Baker University. There is also a Baldwin College that is at Berea, Ohio. The John Baldwin that the Douglas Co. town is named for was also the founder of the College in Ohio. I have a published list of alumni of the Baker Univ., but it only lists living persons as of 1993, so no help there. The college would have the records, but may not have access to them at the present time. They are expanding their library and the archives in the library basement is closed for about a year. The alumni listing may reside elsewhere as well. I live in Baldwin City, Kansas. I find the burial records of many of the Tucker family are right here in Baldwin City at Oakwood Cemetery. There appear to be 13 graves that are probably related to each other, but maybe you can figure it out. Dexter Tucker, b. 21 Mar. d. 10 May 1920 Emma Tucker, his wife, b. 1 June 1847, d. 4 Jan. 1923 Shirley D. Williamson, dau. of E. & D. T. Williamson, b. 27 Dec. 1921, d. 3 Jan. 1922 Harace D.

There sure is an historical society! You can contact them through their website at <http://www.dchsks.org/>. You might also try contacting Baker University in Baldwin.

Not sure what you are wanting to find in the 1859 Kansas Territorial census. It is not like the later census records. It is a listing of head of household or "voters" only, so no spouses or other members of the family are shown. It does indicate when the person came to Kansas. I have an alphabetized copy of the Jefferson Co. 1959 census and it does not contain your Mahlon Moore. The complete 1859 census is available at the Kansas State Historical Soc. at 6425 SW 6th, Topeka, KS. phone (785) 272-8681, if you want to pursue that aspect. There was also a newspaper entry in the Lawrence Republican of 5 Jan. 1860 indicating the marriage of Mahlon K. Moore to Lizzie Learned on 1 Jan. 1860., performed by Rev. H. H. Moore. This would indicate that he was married. The 1865 Kansas Census might be another option to check for children. As for the location of the island in the Kansas River----. What is now Grant Township in Douglas Co., was part of Jefferson Co. until 1865. The boundary between the two counties was the centerline of the river. I have several old maps of the area and there is little detail of any islands as most are really only sand-bars. So the island could have been in Jefferson Co. or Wakarusa Twp. of Douglas Co. Townships in Jefferson Co. were changing during this period of time. In Jan. 1856, that part of the river was bounded by Slough Creek Twp. By May 1856, it was changed to be part of Kentucky Twp. In 1862, it became part of Sarcoxie Twp. Grant Twp. was created in 1865, separated from Sarcoxie Twp. and became part of Douglas Co. However, 5 miles upstream from Lawrence would probably put it adjacent to what became Rural Twp. in 1871. So if you are searching in Jefferson Co., you need to be sure you are looking in the correct twp. for the date you are searching. Hope this is not too confusing and can be of help in your search.
