I've forgotten how to get to the Oregon County Website that has census, family history, etc. Lanita, You've been so helpful in the past. I'm looking for information for PERKINS, RICHARD, who was one of the early settlers in southern Missouri. He settled in the Eleven Point River/Thomasville area. I need 1830 and 1840 Census for Wayne and Ripley County, Missouri. One account by R. G. D. Smith in the Howell County Gazette, 5 June, 1919, lists the first settlers as: PERKINS, RICHARD; HODGE, JOHN; PERRYHOUSE, JACOB; THOMAS, WILLIAM; Granddad HUDDLESTON and Wm. Smith, the great-grandfather of R. G. Smith. The account says they left Slaugherville, KY in 1812, went to Jackson, MS for 2 years, then in 1814 migrated on to what is now Thomasville, Mo in Oregon Co. I'm researching for another individual. Thanks, Doris Johnson
