ubject: [MO-OREGON-HISTORY] LEACH/DEES Date: Thu, 3 Oct 2002 18:07:28 -0700 (PDT) From: "GTTEM" <ttemples@ij.net> Joan, The Dees from Wayne County that Barbara is looking for are from South Carolina by way of Tennessee and Illinois according to the 1850 and 1860 Missouri census. There is one married woman named Matilda Dees whose father is listed as being from Ireland. The Leaches don't show up in Wayne County until 1860 and are from North Carolina.

As most of you know, during the day, I have been able to respond to any queries or comments on the List using my work email address, as time and work permits.... Well, the powers that be, have announced today that we will no longer be able to have personal email unless it is an emergency.. SO.. please remove the Lanita@aarcher.com address from your address books in case that is the address that you have used for me...., and make sure that you replace it with my home address at: ozarkn@southwind.net The supervisor is getting finicky, and is on a major power trip, so until further notified, please use my home address. That means, as well, that I will not be subscribed to the List during the day and will not see your messages..... if you are addressing them to me, or about a family that I have, you'll have to wait until I get home.. Until hubby gets a job, [yes, he is still without a job]....I'll still be there.. but, when he gets a good job, you can bet that it won't be too long before I'm out of there!! Hope you all understand... Lanita

Larry Wyatt Trying to unravel earlier connection trails to Margaret Ann Wasson-1847 who was married to John Henderson Davis-1845 (she was my mom's paternal grandmother). Also trying to track out connections to Nancy Jane Wasson-1864 who was married to Loerwood D. Davis-1859. They all resided in Oregon county. Thanks for any help I can get.

My records are in an older computer on Family Tree Maker. Could you recommend an efficient method to start over in a new machine. Better software? Etc.?

I would say, copy the FTM info on a disc, and then transport over to your new one.. Lanita

Thank you. I have received a tip, possibly in Howell County in 1880. Would have had two children 3 and 4. Then I will head for 1918 newspapers week of April 6 for obituary. Does Geneva Cline of Alton participate on this list. Thanks again.

Good Afternoon, Lanita has learned of a family loss to one of our list members. Please take the time to read Lanita's message and express your sympathies to Claudia "C. J." Williams. If you would like to use the list to do so, we will forward those messages to her while she is taking time off from our list. C. J.'s wonderful sense of caring and humor has gotten us through more than one bad day. Hurry back to us, Sweetie. We are less without you.

The only William Cox that I found is in the1860 Oregon Co., MO Census. He is listed as being 17 years old.. I have to tell you that there are some COXs in Shannon Co... Maybe someone has the 1850-1860 census for Shannon Co. If you think that the above 17 year old William COX is it, let me know. I can send. Lanita

Carlene, There is a very nice lady that lives in Alton, MO named Bernice Sherrod Brewer SIMS. Her first husband was a BREWER. She gave me some information regarding how the BREWERs were related to the HODGES (her father-in-law, Arthur BREWER was married to Gert HODGES on 4 Dec 1904.) She could probably supply you with a lot of information. Unfortunately, she doesn't have a computer and you would have to contact her by mail or better yet, visit her. She loves company and loves to talk about her ancestors. If you would like to email me at sjp1049@mindspring.com, I can supply you with her address.

Hi List, Beyond my ongoing Couch/Barton/Custer/White/Jones/Wheeler/etc. research, I've just embarked on the Wyatt/Dinnell families. One of my late father-in-law's sisters, Ida Wyatt, married a Sherrod. One of their daughters married a Brewer. These Brewers are Oregon Co. people. I'm hoping there may be someone on the List with Brewer connections who can help me get enough info to get this research going. Thanks so much, Carlene Wheeler

Help, I lost my files from an update. There was very good information on the old newspapers from the Thayer and Mamouth Springs area and where to go to find them. Any one have this information?? Hoping Jay yaerohs@aol.com I am a genealogy nut, but I am not cracked

Roll Call: Sarah H. COX ARNOLD NELSON b. 1823 married 1st James M. ARNOLD December 15, 1843 IL married 2nd John Allen NELSON March 19, 1868 IL . John A. and Sarah H. NELSON are on the 1870 Douglas County Census. In 1880 Douglas County Census; 2 of Sarah's ARNOLD children by her first marriage are on the census, but John and Sarah have dissappeared. I have checked 1880 Howell and Oregon. Sarah was listed as Deceased when her brother Joseph Henry COX died on November 16, 1909 in Humes, Bates County, Missouri(obituary). Want to know where John and Sarah NELSON went? Did they die? Where buried?

I received notification today about a new book on the descendants of John Wooldridge, a blacksmith in VA ca. 1678-1757. Many, if not all, the Wooldridges in Oregon Co. as well as surrounding counties, are descendants from this line. For details on how to obtain the book, please email me privately. Catherine
