Sorry that I don't have any McClelland or Snell information, or recall of an epidemic in Adair Co in the early 1880's. As to William & Sarah (Patterson) Thompson, my grand uncle, William Oscar Patterson, married Nancy Thompson ca 1880 in Kirksville. This may just be a coincidence of names; I don't know of Sarah Patterson or Nancy's parents or siblings. Quentin Cabell Smith In a message dated 6/21/2008 10:43:32 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: A marriage record exists for the marriage of Belle McClelland to Isaiah W. Snell in 1873. On the 1880 census Isabel McClelland is living in the household of her parents John & Elizabeth McClelland. Also in this household is 6-year old Charles Snell. I have been unable to locate a census record for Isaiah. However, in Grundy County in January 1882, there is a marriage record of Isaiah to Hattie J. Merryman. It would appear that Belle/Isabel died prior to that date, but what happened to Charles? I am unable to identify Charles on the 1900 census, so perhaps he died also. Is there a record of typhoid, cholera, or some such widespread disease in Adair County in the period 1880/1881?

Quentin, I think it is just a coincidence. My Thompson/Patterson marriage was in Pennsylvania in 1779. Their eldest son, Andrew, is my Sullivan County link. I do have a Nancy Thompson in Sullivan County, but I don't see that she links to you. There were other Thompson families in Sullivan County - a thorough look at census records will help to sort them out. I see that there is a Nancy, daughter of Simeon and Mary, who was born in Missouri in 1863, living in Buchanan Twp in 1870. She may be a likely candidate for the marriage to William Oscar Patterson.
