His son Enoch Musgraves(my great grandfather) was supposedly born in Evansville, IN 12 Apr, 1844. His wife's name is thought to have been Martha. Enoch married Elizabeth Bressie in Dent Co.

I don't have any specific particulars on parentage or any connections to the "Trail of Tears" and I would be greatly interested in any knowledge that anyone might have. Lucinda later moved to Oklahoma and then was married in Crawford County, Missouri to David Bressie. David Bressie died in the Civil War. By: Cheri Riley Email:[email protected] Bressie Cemetery Noble County, Oklahoma http://www.rootsweb.com/~okcemete/noble/bressie/bressie.htm Josiah Welch, born Abt. 1819; died Unknown. He married Mary Ann "Polly" Bressie Jul/13/1843 in Crawford Co., Missouri; born in Missouri; died Unknown. Notes for Mary Ann "Polly" Bressie: Mary Ann's brother Eaphriam Bressie, 3/25/1804-4/11/1850. The Bressie family settled MO soon after LA Purchase-1803; Eaphriam owned a large acreage in Dent Co. & was the largest slave owner in the area. He also operated a store & inn at this site on the White River Trail, 2 miles NW of Salem. The second post office in Dent Co. Montauk (Indian origin) was located at Bressie's store. The farm was later owned by the Watkins family (presently by Inman family). http://www.tri.net/~kheidel/genealogy/welch.html BRESSIE PLOT SPRING CREEK, SANFORD INMAN FARM, DENT CO. http://www.rootsweb.com/~modent/bressie.htm Welcome To The Dent County, Missouri USGenWeb Site! http://www.rootsweb.com/~modent/index.html?sourceid=00228464116565227481 Desoto Joe/The Record Man
