Hi all, Okay, the list is too quiet.... what research are you working on, and what findings or leads have you discovered. Maybe with your experience you can shed another clue as to how the rest of us needs to go for some brick walls. Thought I'd let you all know that I have found another reason to research the siblings, even way back. It seems that my Mary BcBRAYER JUSTICE [1st wife of Amos JUSTICE SR [1763-1829 in Lawrence Co., AR] had a brother named Samuel [named after Mary and Samuel Jr's father]... This Samuel JR made his way to Daviess Co., MO where I live. He had several children, and I have found 6. Some of those settled permanently here after marrying, and Samuel JR and alot of his descendants are buried less than 20 miles from me... what a shock to learn that!! I have been busy researching these McBRAYERs, and have learned that some of these same descendants from Sam Jr, moved to Jasper Co.., MO near Joplin. It answers alot of questions as to wondering how some of the same surname in the state are connected. I also have found that Amos and Mary McBRAYER JUSTICE, parents of my John Dyer JUSTICE who is bur. at Walnut Grove Cem in Randolph Co., AR, had 2 sons, Amos Jr and Thomas [brothers to my John D.], who found their way to Polk Co., MO by 1850 census. So once again, I have added new surnames, connected by marriage, to my database. Is it time for a connecting roll call? What do you have to share? Lanita
