You may be right.  But then again, there are other ideas, like getting genweb involved, or this one: We had a lengthy discussion of this yesterday on the main Tasmanian list [AUS-Tas]. There are two comparable substitutes available: "groups.io" & "freelists.org". My preference after looking at the two would be "freelists.org", but more people seem to be inclined towards "groups.io". I am also going to email the Wikimedia Foundation and attempt to get them interested. This seems to be well within their stated goals to "help everyone share in the sum of all knowledge" and to "host free knowledge projects". They already have some mailing lists for their own purposes. A while back the Wikimedia Foundation also stepped in with legal assistance when another commercial entity (Internet Brands) started a lawsuit to prevent the contributors to TravelWiki (purchased by Internet Brands) from moving their own content to a new free Wiki, even though all the original content had been contributed under the "GNU Free Documentation License". Internet Brands backed down very quickly. The Wikimedia Foundation would be a safer long-term bet than either "groups.io" or "freelists.org". Just in the major English-speaking countries (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, United Kingdom, United States) I can find 6,438 lists. This is a tremendous loss.

Since the list has been quiet, I, as owner of the list, do not plan to try to set up another list on another platform. Some of the list owners are setting up lists on groups.io<http://groups.io> or Google groups. Anyone can do that and is welcome to do that. If you do, you can send your invite here and invite everyone subscribed to this list. I will not for privacy reasons hand over anyone’s email address to someone else that is setting up a new list.

The saddest thing I see in all of this is that what remains of the email lists will now be scattered across several different platforms.

Here is a message we just received from RootsWeb: Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails.  Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state. Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb. As an alternative to RootsWeb Mailing Lists, Ancestry message boards are a great option to network with others in the genealogy community. Message boards are available for free with an Ancestry registered account. Thank you for being part of the RootsWeb family and contributing to this community. Sincerely, The RootsWeb team I plan to ask the administrator of this list for access to the list of subscribed e-mails.  If I obtain that, then it would be possible to migrate this list to a site like Group.IO: https://groups.io/ or another platform. Given that this list has been quiet for ages, I don't think it is worth doing, and I don't plan to do that.  But I want to offer the possibility to others. Mike F Houston, TX

I am the new list admin, but I would rather one of you run the list. It's easy to do. If any of you want to be the mailing list admin, let me know very soon. Otherwise I will give it to somebody tomorrow who is not now on the list. Do it for a while and then you can give it back to me if you don't like it. Mike F Houston, TX

Many of the USGENWEB sites hosted on RootsWeb are back online. Rootsweb tried sending an email to all the owners,  but a lot of them bounced back.  In short, state and county pages are back; others will come back in the future "by request." The MO websites are listed here: http://www.mogenweb.org/ Use the dropdown box to select a MO county. All the websites (including outside MO) that have returned so far are listed here: https://www.rootsweb.com/sites/siteDirectory For those that would like to download their websites contents from RootsWeb, we will publish instructions on how to do it the week of July 10th. Mike Flannigan

This is a test of the Rootsweb lists I am on. It is also some information for the list administrator if they feel the list is not running as expected. And finally it is an attempt to get something posted to the list so Rootsweb does not turn the list off. The list admin should probably go to this page: http://home.rootsweb.ancestry.com/ and try to set up a new mailman login, if not already done. If you do that you will probably get to this page eventually: https://mailinglists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/lists/setupmail Then you might want to sign up for this list: https://mailinglists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/listindexes/search/Listowners But be warned, you will receive postings from that list almost every day.  May 8 a day at times. Another option that I do not encourage is to turn the list over to me - at least temporarily.  Again, I do not want that done if you are willing to keep the list. Mike Flannigan

Mike, Thank you for taking the time and effort to put this data together. It is very useful and very much appreciated.

Here are some localities in MO that have "Civil War" in the description or history fields. Let me know if you have location data for any of these. These records are for counties that begin with "V" or "W" or "X" or "Y" or "Z". We don't have locations for either of these. Womack Cemetery - Wayne County - "This is a rural cemetery in the W part of Jefferson Township, named for TM Womack, who owned land there before the Civil War.

Here are some localities in MO that have "Civil War" in the description or history fields. Let me know if you have location data for any of these. These records are for counties that begin with "S" or "T" or "U". Arsenal Island (historical) - Saint Louis County - Located in the middle of Mississippi River near the foot of Arsenal St. See record for Quarantine Island. - "There was a city cemetery on this island that later became a military cemetery during Civil War, primarily for Confederates. The bodies were moved to National Cemetery at Jefferson Barracks after a flood washed away the crosses, leading to many graves marked as unknown." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Benton Park - Saint Louis City County - "Benton Park, originally known as the City Park, was created by ordinance on June 25, 1866. Its original area of 17 acres has been reduced to 14 1/3 acres by widenings of its perimeter streets. The park lake caused a problem in its initial years because the water tended to leak into the nearby English Cave. This was later corrected by draining the lake and filling its crevices with concrete. The park was attractively landscaped and featured a rustic bridge. Near the southern entrance to the park is a monument to Colonel Friedrich K. F. Hecker, who raised a regiment of local German-Americans during the Civil War, serving first under Fremont and later commanding his own brigade in the Union Army. The shaft, designed by architect Ernest C. Janssen, was dedicated in 1882." http://maps.google.com/maps?q=38.59750,+-90.22222+%28Coordinates%29&iwloc=A&hl=en ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Big Spring Methodist Church (historical) - Saint Francois County - Located south of Esther on Koen Creek. - Built before the Civil War. Abandoned in the 1880s. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Lone Star House - Scotland County - Was the site of a camp in Civil War days. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Markham Memorial Church (historical) - Saint Louis City County - Located at Menard and Julia Sts. - "The earliest Protestant Church in Carondelet was the Carondelet Presbyterian which had its beginning in 1849 in response to the need for a place of worship. Its first meetings were held in a vacant room in the home of General Madison Miller at the foot of Bowen Street, where a Sunday school was organized. Later the group met in a log cabin just north of the Bowen Street house. After the present church site at 6116 Michigan Avenue was donated by August A. Blumenthal, a $1,500 building was erected there. The church was organized there on June 2, 1850 by Rev. Robert S. Finley. Construction began on a new church on the present site in 1859, after razing of the older building. Work was delayed by the Civil War and services were held in the City Hall and the Odd Fellows Hall until the basement of the new structure was occupied in 1863. This brick building was completed after the War and was used for about thirty years, it is now used as a Sunday School. The Hope Mission Chapel at Third and Taylor Streets in Carondelet was an offshort of the Carondelet Church. In 1883, it had a congregation of 600 persons and 420 pupils in its Sunday school. The present stone church was built next to the older structure in 1896, at a cost of $15,000. Its indebtedness was cleared by 1906, and later an educational unit was erected and $12,500 in improvements were made. In 1958, the church's name became Carondelet-Markham Memorial Presbyterian Church, following a merger. Markham Church at 1614 Menard Street had been organized in 1901 and had lost many members due to a changing neighborhood and highway construction." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mount Auburn Church - AKA Trinity Methodist Church; Mount Auburn M. B. Church - Saint Louis City County - "On the corner of Hodiamont and Wabada Avenues is a church building whose original occupant dates back to 1846 in the Wellston area. Presently occupied by Trinity Methodist Church, the building was formerly the home of the Mount Auburn M. B. Church, South. Mount Auburn traces its origin back to fifteen years before the Civil War, when it met in a rural school on St. Charles Road a mile west of present-day Wellston. In 1854, it moved to the frame Eden Chapel, on St. Charles Road, about seven miles beyond the St. Louis of that day. The church which had been served by circuit riding transient ministers since its founding, continued to be so served until 1871 when it became an independent unit. In 1887, it was decided to move to a more populous location, which was found in 1891 when the Hodiamont and Wabada site was donated by a real estate company. After completion of the church in 1892, the name was changed to Mount Auburn, after the subdivision in which it was situated. The church was extensively remodeled in 1932 and continued to be occupied by the Mount Auburn congregation until it moved to its present location on Lucas Hunt Road." http://maps.google.com/maps?q=38.67806,+-90.28306+%28Coordinates%29&iwloc=A&hl=en ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Old Blockhouse - Shelby County - Old Blockhouse was a place for Union soldiers during the Civil War. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Protestant Orphans Home (historical) - Saint Louis County - Located at Webster Groves. - Opened in 1850 and closed during the Civil War. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Quarantine Island (historical) - AKA Dunkans Island?; Arsenal Island? - Saint Louis County - "An island in the Mississippi River that was located across from Alton Prison (Madison Co, IL), N of St. Louis. Civil war prisoners were quarantined here. Some 300+/- were buried there. It's probably on or near the Missouri River bank now. The Corps recently (2003) put up a memorial at Lincoln-Shields Rec Area (the St. Charles Co, MO abutment of old Locks & Dam 26)." - This island was used for quarantine starting with 1849's cholera epidemic. Stations were set up S of there so incoming boats could be inspected by physicians. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Camp Jackson (historical) - Saint Louis County - "Located at a location known as ""Lindell's Grove"". This is the name designated for the April, 1861 muster of the Missouri State Militia. Each year it met here with a different name. But its 1861 name has been immortalized by an event that occurred here during the Civil War. It was situated at the following location: bordered on the North by Olive Street, on the South by Laclede Avenue, on the West by Grand Avenue. On the East, it was bordered by Garrison and Ewing Avenues. Today the area is occupied by buildings near Frost Campus of St. Louis University. The fort could have been more than 0.5 miles from the lat/long given." - "Another large land owner in the Midtown before the Civil War was Peter Lindell, one of two brothers who made fortunes in merchandising. Lindell owned a large midtown tract bounded by Garrison, Laclede, Vandeventer Avenues and Lindell Boulevard, the eastern part of which was heavily wooded and was called Lindell's Grove. It was used for various outdoor gatherings including the annual encampment of the State Militia and for that occasion, in 1861, it was renamed Camp Jackson in honor of the newly elected pro-southern governor of Missouri. The St. Louis Arsenal was in Union hands at this time and its commandant saw the encampment of the militia with its southern sympathies as a threat to Union control of St. Louis. Captain Nathaniel Lyon, disquised in women's clothing, drove unmolested through the camp to inspect a mysterious shipment thought to be armaments. On May 10, 1861, four thousand Union troops surrounded and captured Camp Jackson without a shot being fired, in the first Civil War action in St. Louis. Later the camp, renamed in honor of Hamilton R. Gamble, became part of a chain of defenses built around the city. This area is now on the campus of St. Louis University. Another source reports 40 dead in the Civil War skirmish. This may have been a POW prison during the Civil War." http://maps.google.com/maps?q=38.63444,+-90.22750+%28Coordinates%29&iwloc=A&hl=en ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Courthouse Cave - Shannon County - "Passage length is 250.6 ft.

Originally known as ""Deep Spring Tract"" because of the large spring nearby, dug out and lined with logs by Indians. The spring was a stopping place on the road to Springfield. The land was purchased in 1846 or 1847 for the county poor farm. Construction of the buildings progressed slowly after 1847, was suspended during the Civil War, and stopped because of financial difficulties in the early 1870's. Controversy over high costs was a factor in the city-county spring in 1876. Sold in 1894 to Dr. Charles W.

Koshkonong is an Indian word of doubtful meaning. Possibly, according to Gannett, referring to Koshkosh, a hog. Others have suggested such meanings as ""Wild Rice,"" which grew around the Wisconsin Lake, or ""Cross"" referring to an Indian village where old trails crossed, or ""big water,"" referring to the lake. It is probably connected with the name Kaskaskia, explained by Gannett as an Indian word of unknown meaning, the designation of a tribe of Illinois Indians.

The government allowed the earnings of the office to be applied on the mail carrier's pay and the deficit was made up by the patrons of the office.

It is reported that a cedar tree at the mouth of the cave was made into a ladder by Indians and used by Crabtree. The cave is reported to be small in cross section but long." (Bretz) Crabtree was killed by Adolph Loethen, because he had stolen his wedding suit. Back then, a wedding suit was nearly a year's salary for a farmer. Adolph Loethen got a posse of men from the Henley area to kill him. They heard Crabtree was holed up in a barn or corncrib, most likely in Teal Bottom. The posse crept up through the cornfield by moonlight. A shadow appeared in the doorway and one man's gun misfired. He yelled "Shoot Adolph, Shoot!!" The farmers quickly fled fearing retaliation. The next day, they tracked him to Crabtree Cave, where they found a weeping woman, Crabtree's widow. Guns drawn, they demanded to see Crabtree. She replied he was dead and buried. Under duress, she showed them the location of his grave. He had been buried in the wedding suit stolen from Adolph Loethen.

How does one find the specific locations for the route John C Fremont took in Oct 1861 after he left St. Louis via train to the Jefferson City/Tipton area and then on to Warsaw and then to Springfield and then Rolla?
