My apologies to Charley!! The date 16 Aug. 1804 that I just referred to was in a letter quoted by Charley. Charley himself dates Leonard Barton's marriage as 12 Aug. 1806 -- well after Fr. Nerinckx had arrived. ________ Also I spoke of a baptismal record in Missouri -- I should have said a marriage record. ________ Peace and All Good! Fr.Blaine
