I am trying to determine if there are any old news papers that were published in some town of Adair County back around 1876. John B. Ward, son of my great grandfather, lived in Adair County at the time of death of his father (my great grandfather), Charles Ward. Charles died 19 September 1876 in Knox County and I found an obituary of him in the Edina Sentinal but what I was hoping maybe there were other news papers published and maybe I could find another obit in one of them. Since this son John B. lived in Adair County, I thought maybe there would be an obit published in some news paper about his father's death in that county. The obit of the Edina Sentinal did not contain any info about Charles' parents and I thought maybe if I found another obit in some relative's town, that maybe it would...just by chance. Any thoughts or ideas that you can help me with? Would sure appreciate anything. Carl Ward

Looking for cemeteries in Wilson Township (Probably close to LaPlatta). Thanks for any help. Connie researching Isaac W. Jones

Good afternoon, I felt compelled to write you all and thank you so much for the advise and help you have offered and given. I have the notes in a file of whom I spoke to. I believe I am going to call them and ask for the woman I spoke to. I am going to let them know that there is a Greencastle / Green Castle and actually insisted I had it confused with Green City / Greencity. I take my research very seriously and try to document as much as possible. Since in my visits to the local FHC I could not find much available for MO. I guessed perhaps she was right. I know that when I order items through the FHC I get them on a long term method so they remain at the library and hopefully will assist other researchers someday. I can only assume (as much as I hate to assume) the woman was new and did not know, or simply was there to collect a pay check and was not concerned about any research. On another note, I have some data on the Perrigo surname I copied from CD's. I am more than willing to email to anyone who might be researching that surname and would like to see it. Again, I thank you all for everything and very greatly appreciate the outpour of advice I have been given. It is simply wonderful. Thank you all so very much, Addie Remember "The Truth Is Out There" Proper Citation is essential to a credible genealogy ===============

Jack & Addie Morrissey: As Marsha Sears has told you, there is a Green Castle in Sullivan County. I found it on Mapquest.com last night, but if you have a Rand McNally highway map for Missouri, you will find it on Missouri Highway 6 about midway between Kirksville and Milan. Now to some information about the family of Justice Perrigo's wife. On pages 1024-1026 of the 1888 Goodspeed Publishing Co. book, "History of Adair, Sullivan, Putnam and and Schuyler Counties, Missouri" (LDS film 1000280) are biographies of brothers Lt. Samuel Snyder and Hiram Snyder of Adair County. Hiram and his first wife, Minerva Shaw, daughter of T. Shaw, had seven children, one of whom is Eliza, who is "the wife of Justice Perigo, of Clark County." Hiram and his second wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Wright,daughter of George Burchett, had eleven children. The information Elizabeth Richardson provided on Perrigo families in the 1870 Clark County census would appear to be a good lead for you. May I also suggest that if you haven't already gone to one, you find a local LDS Family History Center and see if they have the 1880 census abstract compact disks that the Mormons released several months ago. The search capabilities are tremendous. Although I haven't used it myself, a fellow genealogist saw a brick wall I had posted on my Website and used that information with her copy of the CDS to find some possibile locations for one set of my great grandparents in that year. That information, in turn, led to the discovery that the great grandmother had been married twice and to her marriage date to my great-grandfather (I had been looking under her maiden name, not knowing of the first marriage). If you want more on the Snyders, I think I can produce a PDF copy of the Goodspeed pages and send them directly to you as an e-mail attachment if you want them. -- Karl Seitz [email protected] researching DeWitt, McCullough, Mairs and Seitz in Sullivan County researching Seitz in Adair County >Status: U >Resent-Date: Fri, 18 Jan 2002 19:09:56 -0700 >X-Original-Sender: [email protected] Fri Jan 18 19:09:56 2002 >X-EM-Version: 5, 0, 0, 0 >X-EM-Registration: #3003520714B31D032830 >X-Priority: >Reply-To: [email protected] >From: "Morrissey Addie" <[email protected]> >Old-To: [email protected] >Subject: Perrigo Surname >Date: Fri, 18 Jan 2002 21:28:42 -0500 >To: [email protected] >Resent-From: [email protected] >X-Mailing-List: <[email protected]> archive/latest/109 >X-Loop: [email protected] >Resent-Sender: [email protected] > >Good evening, > I am new to the list and would like to know if someone could >possibly assist me?

I encourage you to do census research as a way to broaden your knowledge of the families you are researching. You can access the census in several locations. The National Archives has regional branches in metropolitan areas throughout the US. The National Archives used to have a film rental program before September 11th, and I suspect it will start up again. You can borrow films from a Family History Center. I have purchased census CD's from Heritage Quest, which are actual images of a roll of census film. In addition, Ancestry.com now has all of the US census online. There are 4 households on the 1870 Missouri Census index with the surname PERRIGO. Three of them are in Clark county and one is in DeKalb County. These families may all be related somehow. Clark County, Jefferson Twp. page 539: PERRIGO, Johnathan, age 60, white male b. NY Caroline, age 58, white female b. NY Henrietta, age 17, white female b. Missouri PERRIGO, William, age 29, white male, b. Kentucky Mary J., age 22, white female, b. Virginia George, age 3, white male, b. Missouri Amanda, age 1, white female, b. Missouri Clark County, Jefferson Twp., page 544 PERRIGO, Martain, age 44, white male, b. Virginia Sarah E., age 25, white female, b. Indiana Union J., age 7, white female, b. Illinois Louisa M., age 5, white female, b. Illinois Sarah A., age 3, white female, b. Missouri DeKalb County, Grand River Twp., page 471 PERRIGO, Green, age 39, white male, b. Kentucky Matilda, age 27, white female, b. Illinois James, age 18, white male, b. Tennessee Delilah, age 15, white female, b. Illinois Nancy, age 13, white female, b. Illinois Mary, age 12, white female, b. Missouri John, age 9, white male, b. Missouri William, age 2, white male, b. Illinois Sarah, age 5/12, white female, b. Missouri This information doesn't answer your question, I know. Have you ever located your Justice Perrigo on the 1900 census? That would give you some idea of his age, and an indication of his place of birth (although I have found errors on many census and you'll want to find several listings). Because there are errors on the census in all categories, I am suspicious of the above entry for Union J. who is said to be female. Could your Justice Perrigo be Union Justice Perrigo? The one thing these families have in common is that a child was born in Illinois. I happen to have the 1870 census index for Illinois, so I took a look. There are several families with the surname Perrigo. I won't check them all. I can give you a printout if you're interested. HOWEVER, there were 2 listings I thought might be of further interest: a Justise S. Perrigo and a Jastice Perrigo in Adams County which I did check out. ILLINOIS, Adams County, McKee Twp., page 275: PERRIGO, Justice, age 54, white male, b. New York Rebecca, age 53, white female, b. Kentucky Ellen, age 16, white female, b. Illinois Elizabeth, age 14, white female, b. Illinois George, age 10, white male, b. Illinois (I am not certain of this child's name, but it is definitely NOT Justice!) There were other Perrigo families on this page, but none with a child called Justice. Adams, County, page 282, PERRIGO, Justise S., age 40, white male, b. New York Mary, age 37, white female, b. Illinois Lavina, age 18, white female, b. Illinois Justice, age 9, white male, b. Illinois Hope this helps, Addie.

Good evening, I am new to the list and would like to know if someone could possibly assist me? I have the following information which was all gathered from a bible and family letters. My gg-grandfather was Justice Perrigo. I know he was in Sullivan, Clark, Putnam, Adair counties MO. He died in MO but not certain as to where. He married Eliza Snyder in Adair County in 1882 and had two sons Hiram b 1882 & Jonathan b. 1887. Justice had brothers but am not aware of their names. It was mentioned in letters that Justice and his brothers went into the war. I know they were in MO from 1880-1900 from what I have been able to gather from a bible and letters. The letters state he was raised in MO but never said where he was born or came from. According to the death cert. of Hiram it stated he was born in Green Castle 1882, but I am told there is no such place and I don't know what county or town Jonathan was born in as the letters never stated? I am at a loss as I am in Florida and I have called MO Archives, county seats for the above mentioned counties and all tell me there is no indices, no such town as Green Castle and very few records. I really do not know where to start as the information I have been given is very vague. I thank you for any assistance.

Is there anyone who does marriage lookups for Adair County? I have the names of the bride and groom, and the approximate year (I think 1939), but I'm not exactly sure of the month. I'm guessing the last half of the year, maybe September -December. Any suggestions? Lori <>< "Life is hard, but God is good"

Dear list, I must confess!! It has been a blast getting all these wonderful notes from you all Thanking ME for doing work I have not done. I am just the vehical by which you all got the info. A Genealogy friend named KATHLEEN and her son did the work. She asked not to be ID'd but I cant help it. I AM PASSING ALL MESSAGES ON TO HER SO KEEP THEM COMMING. She should have all the acclamations you can give her. If you know of other MAILING LISTS that would be interested in the info pass the info. on with Kathleen's permission. Thanks for all the help thru the years. Yours in Family History Cheryl in Idaho see www.my-ged.com/krajnik for family names...... Stokes, Saner, Buckallew, Brown, Hafen, Bramstead, Vrooman, Collett, and many others.

List. see below :) Cheryl in Idaho From a friend who gave permission to share. *** got my own copy of the Kent Funeral Home Records (dated well before Adair Co. got their copy). Then I got copies of cemetery listings for the whole area (mostly bought by me), early marriage/birth/death records, personal genealogy publications, family web sites, and all sorts of other sources to go through the whole Kent Records (from 1915 through December 2000; including almost 6,000 burials for Adair, Sullivan, Linn, and Putnam Counties), and my completed project is called the "Revised Kent Funeral Home Records". Ron Kent gave permission for their use provided they are shared freely and not ever published or sold for profit, so my son is in the process of putting my Revised Kent Records on his web site - in .txt format - for free - for the whole world to use and search and copy and paste as they see fit. I've filled in a LOT of missing dates, corrected burial places (according to cemetery records), added missing names of parents, added names of spouse(s), and made all names consistent throughout (so you don't see John Lee Doe in one place, J. Lee Doe in another place, and John L. Doe in another place). You can see the records at: http://www.2xtreme.net/amcooper/ (clear down at the bottom of the left side of the page). Please help pass the word, won't you? There are still bound to be some errors on my revised records (surnames spelled various ways on different sources, obvious typos that I wasn't able to determine which source had the typo, etc.), but I do hope it helps people find their ancestors.
