Point of interest for those following the Lanham and Sappington families of Madison County, KY and where some of them may have gone. This information was gleened from the AIS Missouri Census Index books. I hope this info can help someone. It has been over 14 years since I did research on my Kennedy, Messick, and Trapp lines while they were in the Muddy Creek area of Madison Co. and I’m just now learning about my Lanham and Sappington connections. I have not been to the Oakland FHC to check on the names listed below, but plan on doing so in about a week. I’m laid up at home with a bad back at this time and I’m not able to travel very far without pain. All of the following counties have a border on the Missouri River, except Nodaway.
