Surnames: Weddington, James, Priest Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/pAB.2ACI/5029.3.2 Message Board Post: Cathy, In going through some papers tonight I found some legal documents signed by Emily and Robert Weddington then of Golden, Missouri (Barry County) in 1891 for their aunt Mahala James Priest's widow's pension. Mahala was Emily's mother Maranda's second youngest sister. Mahala's six youngest children moved from Floyd County, Kentucky to Golden, Missouri and northern Arkansas starting about 1885. Mahala moved there around 1890 after her husband died. Several of the legal documents are signed by their neighbors in Floyd County, Kentucky so I figure a group from Floyd County moved to the Golden area including Emily and Robert. If you are interested I will send you a copy of the document with their signatures. Lucy DeYoung lucydeyoung@isomedia.com
