Good Morning, I dislike that term, "brick walls", if any of y'all can think up a better one, you'll win the contest. Anyway..... NEW TOPIC: Everyone pick just one particular item in your research that has given you fits and sleepless nights. For example, "I can't find my GGrandfather, _________, in the 1870 census; or, I know my grandparents, _______ and _______, were married, but can find no record; something on that order. But not on this order, "I can't find my ________ Family in 1870." Just one specific thing that you still need to find to make your research life happy, again. Okay? Now, send it on in to the list! We've kicked down some pretty tall BW's here, so send yours to the list and let's have a whack at it! N

Dose anyone have the Bunker cemetery on line or on there website. If so I could sure use a link. Thanks, Barbara eor@saber.net

This is my grandmothers line. My grandmother was Lillie Sutton she was a twin but he died soon after birth. My grandmother was born in Littleblack MO. 1891 she married have the cert. give no information at all. My grandmothers parent were James Sutton born 2-28-1865 (death cert.)in Greenville MO. and Tryphenia Leach Sutton born 4-12-1868 in Greenville MO. (death cert.) place of burial for both is Bunker MO. Tryphenia Leach parents Saphronia Dees and William Leach. 1st brick wall is William R. Leach (who is his parents) is on the 1850 Wayne Co. MO. census as 8 and lives in the home of Saphronia Dees parents also in the home is his sister Rachel Lach and she is 12. Then on the 1860 William is in the home of Joshua Joiner and is 17 then on the 1870 he has married Saphronia. On the 1850 census it says William's parents are from ILL. 2nd brick wall James Sutton (who is his father) his parents are Mary E. Sutton again it is the 1850 Wayne Co. MO. census she is 4 and lives in the home of her parents James Sutton 65 NC. and Martha Sutton 24 TN. Mary is born a Sutton and later has her first son James Sutton who is the father?She also has another son by same man. Mary later marries James McFadden in 1878 and uses the name Polly Sutton and has 4 more sons. 3rd brick wall James Sutton (who is his parents) is 65 on Wayne CO. MO. census and has NC. as where he is from and died befor the 1860 census. Martha later married Levi Gentry. James Sutton is nowhere in NC. families. If you can help in anyway I would be so greatful. Barbara eor@saber.net

I have a ggg-grandfather William Leach that is a orphan in the 1850 Wayne Co. MO. census he is 8 and lives in the Dees home with his sister Rachel also there is a Polly A. C. Leach in a Williams home a orphan (don't know if she is the same family) in the 1860 census William is in the home of Joshua Joiner and is 17 and then on the 1870 William has married Sophronia Dees and stated his family Tryphenia is born 4-12-1868 and married James Sutton which is the son of the James Sutton I can't find also this is my orphan Leach I can't find parents for so this family line has 2 brick walls. I found a cousin a few years back that said he has this information on Wiliam Leach and it is on line but he isn't willing to share, and I have never found this information and neither have others that are looking for this. Would welcome any help. Barbara eor@saber.net

I have 2 one is my James Sutton who is on the 1850 Wayne Co. MO. He is 65 and from NC in the house is wife Martha 24 and son William 5 Mary E. (Polly) 4 and Aggy E. 2 and Melvina 8/12 . James owned land but left no will. He died before the 1860 census. This James Sutton dosen't seem to fit anywhere. His daughter Mary E. is my gggrandmother can't find anything oon her except that she married James McFadden in 1878 in Iron County Mo.and had 4 more sons this marriage dosen't give any information on her parents. Martha had 2 sons James and Lewis Sutton born in MO. can't find a father with the name Sutton for them either. If you could help in any way, this is a 20 year wonder. Barbara eor@saber.net
