Loretta, This article was authored by a staff writer at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. But, I'll see if there's a published list somewhere.

Need a census look-up for Julia Rohm and William Ledbetter 1860 Pulaski Co. Missouri. Thanks, Barbara eor@saber.net

On this site people seem to be doing look-ups for more than Missouri. I need a look-up for Overton Tenn. do you do those. Thanks, Barbara eor@saber.net

I can't help you on the springs, but was able to find a few of your names in my DeLorme Missouri Atlas and Gazetteer. I recommend it to anyone doing family research in Missouri. Santa brought mine a few years ago. Bockman Spring is about five miles NW of Greer in Oregon County and about that far NE of Thomasville near Mc Cormack Lake Recreation area. Mc Cormack Trail is there, too. Clarence is in Shelby Co., about 10 miles SW of Shelbyville. Ther is a town called Everett, but not Everett Chaney in Cass County, about 5 miles NW of Archie. McDowell is in Berry Co. about 5 miles NW of Jenkins. Good luck on the other places.

I know where McCormack Lake and Trail are located and also Thrasher Ford on Eleven Point River both in Oregon County.

Okay, all you DAR experts out there!! I have an ancestor that is already listed in the DAR's books.. I understand that all I have to do is prove the lineage down to me.. I don't have any Bible records, and the kink is a daughter [Phebe ELLIOTT DETHROW] whose only link to her parents are in the census... will DAR accept census records, or must it be marriage, death and birth records? Lanita

The book has been asked for & will send it to that person. Carol T.

I have the 'Ripley County Centennial' book, 1859 - 1959. I do not want to keep it. There is no one in the pictures, articles, etc. that pertain to any of my family or my husband's. If anyone would like to have it, all I'd ask is for them to pay the postage. I am not going to make copies of any of it, so first one who asks for it, with address, etc., will get the book. Thanks, Carol Thompson Pocahontas, Ark. twister@pokynet.com
