I am planning a trip to Adair County in a couple of weeks and would like to see what may be available while there. I am looking for info on my probable great great grandfather Andrew Madden who was born in 1795 in Maryland. He was enumerated with his daughter Margaret and her husband Philip Shoop in Ninevah in the 1880 census. I have contacted the courthouse to see if there would possibly be a death record for him but there isn't. I am hoping to find a church where they would have worshiped and then records and hopefully a cemetery. I would also like to obtain information about your historical society, what days it is open and hours of operation. From census records I have found that Margaret and Philip Shoop were married in Pennsylvania because their first 2 children were born there with the balance born in Missouri. I also believe that Andrew Madden's son Andrew who was born 1831 in Pennsylvania may have also moved to Missouri. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated and I know it will make my short trip much more productive. Thank you, Dottie
