You have all been so wonderful. I contacted Mary and she is in the process of moving and is having trouble finding the census this was on. But she sent me what she could find and I am copying it to this email. If she finds the census she will send it to me. I hope this helps. God Bless Char labecaly@msn.com Mary's email follows: Doggone it anyway. I am moving, and stuff is packed. I am frantically searching for that ONE paper. I am so disorganized. This is what I have found so far. (I can't find the original paper, but I will eventually.) My husband died in 2001, and this is his family. Paskel Conrad Barfield (He went by Conrad) Father:Edward Barfield b.1881 in Ohio Mother:Florence Ware b.1883 in MO. Grandfather: William Barfield b.1846 in Ohio Grandmother Anna Millward b.circa 1858 Gr. Grandmother Hannah Millward b.1823 W.S. (another census says N.Y.)She died in Saint Louis,MO. in 1892. Her death Cert is spelled "Millard" which is incorrect. She is buried in Bethany Cemetery in Saint Louis MO. No grave marker.No Sexton. Gr.Grandfather William Barfield b.1823 in Miss. I have another question. On a Baptismal Cert. another of Conrad's grandmothers was a witness at the Baptism of the children. Her name was Ellen Dora (Harris) Ware. She said that she was born on 1854 in Owasco Sullivan Co.Missouri. I can't find "Owasco" anywhere, let alone Missouri. I will diligently look for the census that I need and let you all know.
