Is there an Adair County Genealogical Society? Sandra

Good Morning, While perusing the June 2002 issue of "The Northeast Reporter" journal of the Northeast Missouri Genealogical Society, I came across the following bit of information on page 52: >From the "LaBelle Star" of Lewis County, Missouri Friday, Apr. 13, 1900 Married in Kirksville Wednesday, April 4, Miss Mae SULLIVAN of the "Bend" and Burlie WILEY of Williamstown. I have no connection to these people but am hoping that this information will help someone else. Leslie (Bridges) Kohler

Adeline Perry BRUCE moved to Adair Co., MO, from Sumner County, Tennessee, following the death of her husband, Smith Lee BRUCE.  They may have had the following children between their marriage in 1880 and his death in 1892: Cenia (married Edward DeLAY (Douglas Co., WI)) Sallie Bruce (Adair Co., MO) (Married H. E. VALENTINE Montgomery Co., Kansas) Willie Bruce (Adair Co., MO), Cleva Bruce (Douglas Co., WI (Married H. C. HICKS El Reno, OK), Lillie Bruce (Cole Co., OK) Bessie Bruce (Colgate, Indian Terr) These names and locations were taken from deeds settling their grandfather's estate.  I believe they went first to Kirksville. Thanks for any help. Joyce

Hi, I'm researching the surnames HALL, GREEVER with possible alternative spellings GREAVOR, GREAVER. Based on the birth of Walter Scott Hall on July 3, 1902, it is believed he and his family were in or near Novinger. Walter Wilson Hall and Gertrude Greaver were his parents and were from Knox, possibly Callaway Cos., MO. HERYFORD was Walter Wilson's mother's maiden name. Thanks for your help. L. Barton Washington

Researching the descendants of the subject couple. I do not have a death date for Rebecca, but she does not appear on the 1860 census and I assume she died sometime between 1850 and 1860. Andrew died about 1865 after having left Adair County to live with son Charles B. This couple came to Adair County from Richland Co., Ohio about 1839. They had 4 children, all born in Ohio: Sarah, (~1805-1879) married Stillman Snell (1809-1892), 4 children Charles B.(1808-1892), married Irene Katherine ??(1813-1874), 9 children Andrew Lathede(~1818-aft 1894), married Ursley Martin (1826-1874), 12 children Rebecca (1820-1894), married Columbus James Sloan (1816-1883), 6 children The 2 boys, Charles & Andrew, moved west to Sullivan County where they lived out their lives, while the 2 daughters, Sarah and Rebecca, remained in Adair County. Would like to correspond with any and all descendants. Elizabeth Richardson PO Box 662 Ward Cove, Alaska 99928 [email protected]

Christine, I have in my records that Philip Dale died about 1878 in Macon county at a very advanced age. I do not have a document to back this up. The information was given to me by my cousin Dale "Pat" Walker, now deceased. I descend from Philip Dale's sister Mary C. Dale Riley. Have you found any information about their father Abraham Dale? Sandy [Carlsbad, CA]
