I haven't had a lot of time to do research lately.....but since you asked: My brickwall are the BRISCOE and LYNCH families that were living in the Cass county area 1860-85 time frame. Charles BRISCOE married Rose LYNCH...in 1880, this was in Holden, Mo. Johnson county. 1882 there was a daughter born to them......her name was Mary Alice BRISCOE (my grandmother) she was born in Pleasant Hill, Mo. 1885 they had a son born John/Jack BRISCOE. The children were also baptized in Holden, Mo. What happend to Charles and Rose BRISCOE after 1885? My grandmother Mary Alice somehow ended up in Oregon and married my grandfather William A. STONE. There are some BRISCOE families in Washington but I cannot find any of these family names there. That is it in a nutshell. Thanks for any help in this direction. Jacqueline [email protected]
