I¹m researching the Bazzell family of Calloway and Graves county (and anywhere else !). Recently I was contacted by a Burkett family researcher. He is trying to locate some evidence of what happened to Sarah Louise Burkett, who was about 13 in the 1870 census records. According to family history, she married a ³Rick Bassel² She disappears from the records by 1880. This information led him to my family tree, with my Richard AJ Bazzell, who is a single man in 1870 and by 1880, a widower with two young sons born in 1876 and 1878. Also, a sister and a brother of Richard AJ Bazzell married into the same Burkett family. So the evidence is strong for Sarah Louisa being the first wife of Richard. Also, Richard later migrated to Bollinger county Missouri, along with siblings of Sarah Louisa. He married 2 more times and had a total of 14 children. I would love to find a marriage record for Richard Bazzell ­ Sarah Louisa Burkett, circa 1875 ­in Calloway county. Do such records exist? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for all past help! -Beryl Reid
