Good topic. Thanks! I've hit a brickwall in finding out more about my great-grandparents, MINERVA & WILLIAM HENRY Lister (identified on death listing of my grandfather, their son, CORNELIUS RICHARD LISTER, b.1874 Iowa, d. 1950 Caldwell County, MO). Only record I can find of Minerva's presence in MO is listing of her as owning land in Caldwell Cty on 1897 Caldwell Cty Atlas. I find none for William. So far, I've tracked down three different Minerva Listers in the USA b. early enough to have been Cornelius' mother, but only one seems to fit somewhat: Minervia Lister, b. 1845, Parke Cty, IN, d/o Eliphas Lister, Jr. (b. 1815/6 OH, d. 1896 Davis Cty, IA) & Nancy Crabb (b. 1814 OH, d. 1853). Minervia m. 1866 William Harrison Lister (b. 1841). It's possible William Henry Lister is same as William Henry Harrison Lister, only one or the other middle name used in different records. Have found 1850 Parke Cty IN Fed Census listing the Eliphas/Nancy Lister family, but have had no luck finding any listing at any free online source of the children born to Minervia & William Lister. That or any info on this couple would be appreciated! Darlene Lister Mojave Desert/So. Calif.
