Surnames: LEARNED, MO Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Zl.2ADI/111 Message Board Post: I am looking for any info re Lizzie LEARNED and her father Henry LEARNED who lived outside Lawrence toward Lecompton abt 1872. I just found she had married Malon/Mahlon MOORE/MOHR on 1/1/1860 at the Methodist Church by a Rev. H H MOORE (no relation!). So I presume she was born abt 1840 or earlier. I had just visited Lawrence in July and viewed City Directories, and newspaper clippings to find events surrounding Mahlon's death in 2/1872 . He was shot at GIVEN's mill, not far from where he lived on an island in the KAW, NW of Lawrence, a result of a cattle dispute. Henry LEARNED became admin of his estate. In 1875, siblings of Mahlon, mostly from PA, filed a court order asking that Henry LEARNED be removed as admin since he had left the county and had not been truthful about the estate. So I am asking what happened to LIZZIE LEARNED? If she were the spouse, she would have inherited the proceeds of Malon's estate, and there would be no suit against Henry LEARNED. Can anyone check death records or divorce records for 1860-1872 to see if Lizzie died or divorced Malon? There were no children as far as I know. (The newspaper clippings did not mention any family for him.)Malon/Mahlon MOORE/MOHR is buried in Oak Grove Cemetery in Lawrence in a family site with his sister Mary MOHR LACEY and her husband James and an in-law, George W SAVAGE. His sister, Charlotte K MOHR (SAVAGE) was my gr2grandmother from Berks Co PA. PA and aunt of Geo W SAVAGE. In an 1857 platte map of Douglas Co, there is an H LEARNED and M MOORE both in that area of Douglas Co. I appreciate any help in this inquiry! Diana in AL - audiana@msn.com
