I don't know anything about StLouis. But I do know there are rivers all over Missouri and that could be anywhere. James, I've looked at the records I have and find the following: Lafayette, County, Missouri Marriage Records, Book D Hiram Shockley to J.W.R. Moore, at the residence of Jesse Moore, 10 Jan. 1850, H.J.V. Reed, P. My Hiram Shockley also purchased land in Warsaw, Benton County, Missouri in 1857. He was also in Morgan, County. Later he migrated to Arkansas. So, I've answered my own question. I don't think we was in the St. Louis, Mo area.
