Randy, I'm researching a David Wilson b. about 1785 who lived in Audrain Co. and was wondering if there is any relation. Do you know where your John H. came from or if he had any siblings?

Andrea, You'll never guess what I found. I have been working on the slave ledger of John R. White for sometime... now that I have been studying the families and getting tons of emails from other researchers.. it has helped me learn who the slaveowning players were. But check this out: John R. White was a big slave trader/dealer etc., in Central MO. In 1850 There was a transaction for Emily Keene and Child. Emily-- 17 years old was sold to Edward Pugh [assumption] cash $800 her child of no name was sold to Mr. Quisenberry of Boone County, MO for $75 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrea is looking for information related to the following family: My John Braxton Quisenberry was a son of Tandy & Margaret "Peggy" (Bush) Quisenberry. There were 19 children. Mills F, Inskip, Cuthbert, I know were in Missouri. They were in Boone, Pettis, Audrain, Randolph, and Monroe counties. John Braxton was married to Sarah Frances Burris, She was the daughter of Peter M & Elizabeth (Embree) Burris. John died about 1898 and probably in Randolph Co. But I have not located where yet. The 1860 Census has Mills & JB as neighbors in Renick PO, Prairie Twp, Mills had slaves too. His were female age 24, male 2yrs, male 4mos. Andrea would like to put a name to the woman.

Early in my slave research I ran across Rice Patterson of Howard Co., MO and tried to connect his family to the family of Edwin Patterson who ran Ravenswood in Bunceton, MO... but no such luck. Gentry Patterson - the great grandson of Edwin Patterson is still around...but he could not give me any details about the family's history etc. Anyway, a couple of years ago, I started a transcription team to transcribe the slave ledger of John R. White a slave trader from Central Missouri who sold and traded slaves to New Orleans, Louisiana, Texas, and Missouri. I scanned the states quickly... and these were the predominant locations... many many slaves were sold to slaveowners or slavehouses in Louisiana. Which is very scary. I purchased a copy of the slave ledger from the Western Historical Manuscript Collection... and have been plugging away reading it and transcribing it for some time now. I will make an effort to post slave transactions to and from Missouri owners. The Louisiana transactions are many...and I could still use transcribers if anyone is interested...but I hope to get the entire ledger transcribed and have it online one day soon. If anyone is interested in reading more about the slave trade in Central MO etc., please pick up a copy of Walter Johnson's book: "Soul by Soul: Life Inside the Antebellum Slave Market."

Does anyone on this list know anything about: Sarah Keen wife of James S. Keen of Audrain, CO -- I believe Sarah is the daughter of Robert Johnston who married Mary Ann Prewitt? I could be off a Johnston or so., By the way, Randolph Co., lister James Bagby has got a great website which has some JOHNSTONE information. This was a great help.

Sarah Keen wife of James S. Keen is listed in the administration of the estate of Capt. William H. Johnston of Boone CO., MO. Capt. Johnston was the father William H. Johnston who married Margaret Hutchinson -- Margaret's second marriage was to Nathaniel Leonard co-founder of the Ravenswood Stock Farm in Bunceton, MO. There appears to also be a connection to the CAVE and WILLIAMS families. Thomas J. Cave's will notes the administration as Henry Keene; final settlement Mar. 3, 1853.

James You just made my day about Laura Louella Johnston marrying William Benjamin Bagby. You know... I've been seeing listings for the Bagbys and the Hutchinsons and thinking.. what the heck is this? So here's the deal: Laura's parents are William H. Johnston and Sarah Ann Davis -- William's father is Robert C. Johnston -- who is the brother of William H. Johnston who married Margaret Hutchinson...who then married Nathaniel Leonard at Ravenwood in Bunceton. Robert and William's father was named Capt. William H. Johnston... and I missed entirely information on the Capt.'s parents. Robert Johnston and Margaret Peggy McClanahan. The McClanahans are big time intermarried in this family. I swear they are all cousins... William Hutchison's daughter Eliza married David McClanahan Hickman -- who was her cousin... yuck. Any way... I have the Boone Co. listing for Robert that your email helped me put together... Johnston, Robert -- Adm. Joel Prewitt, [Robert's wife's father] Gr. Feb 12, 1833, Final settlement, May 1837; Heirs: Mary Ann [Prewitt] Johnston widow; Joel William Johnston, Nancy Elizabeth Johnston, Robert Thomas Johnston and William Henry Johnston heirs. So the William Henry Johnson above is the one who married Sarah Ann Davis...and their daughter Laura Louella Johnston married William Benjamin Bagby. Wow... and I didn't know that the Capt. William H. Johnston and Rachel Spears had 12 children. I have alot of homework to do...!! In the entry for William H. Johnston -- No. 907 -- Adm. Moss Prewitt, Admr. Gr.

Johnston; deceased; all of Boone County Mo; Sarah Keene wife of James S. Keen of Audrain Co., MO and remaining children of Robert Johnston dec. viz Joel P. Johnston, Nancy Thompson and William Johnston of Howard Co., MO As I write this I want you to know that I become very upset...[I cried the whole time typing this up thinking -- what the hell did I get myself into.. this is so HUGE -- so many people.. so many documents -- and so many slaves to check!] and I'm a little bit angry knowing that now I've got myself into this HUGE gig [so it's my own fault] where I have to look into the lives of all these people to find my family...and I am SO SAD and SO ANGRY...but what can I do but continue.. and my anger will do nothing for me but slow me down But your contribution and information has made me smile and be happy -- cause I know I'm still on the right track... and that is COOL!

Correction: Jacob Spears and Elizabeth Keller are the parents of the following children: [Apparently Elizabeth's maiden name was Fry -- she married a Keller who died, then a Ewalt then SPEARS?] Solomon Abraham Rachel Rebecca [Matson] Sarah [first married Coleman -- then Jones] Noah -- http://www.starbase21.com/kybiog/scott/spears.n.txt I think I said that Solomon and Elizabeth were the parents of Rachel Spears... and I was mistaken. Don't forget to check Early Bourbon Co., KY families here: http://www.shawhan.com/bourbonfamilies.html Also I just realized that the William Hutchinson in St. Louis in the early 1900s was the son of Benjamin Franklin Hutchinson -- who died in Kirkwood, St. Louis, MO in 1876. I've got a letter that his son William wrote to his wife Mary -- apologizing after an argument... a very sweet letter. Also I also didn't realize that Eliza Ann Hutchison who married Thomas Hickman married a second time to Mr. Ormrod and there was one son. Charles E.

Hey folks... I was recently doing some research on the Hutchinson, Hickman, Nesbit, Wilson, Johnston, McClanahan families etc,. and I had no idea how inter-related they were...coming from Bourbon Co., KY and settling in Callaway, Boone, Clay, Cooper counties etc. The bios on the website for Bourbon Co., KY is excellent. These are the relatives of Daniel Boone - and it's a HUGE family. http://www.shawhan.com/bourbonfamilies.html I have been following the parents of Margaret Hutchinson who married Nathaniel Leonard at Ravenswood in Bunceton in Cooper Co. My ancestors were slaves in what appears to be a tremendous KY family whose ties stretch from Bourbon Co. KY to Pittsburg, PA and slave transactions in every direction. It has taken me awhile, but I finally have figured out that: Margaret's parents were Margaret Hickman and William Hutchinson -- they had 8 children: I ordered some documents via the Western Historical Manuscript Collection and it includes a letter from Hactier {not sure of spelling} Warfield to Wm. Hutchinson dated Aug. 22, 1882...he is the grandson of Lewis Hutchinson in Pittsburg PA... a son of William and Margaret Hutchinson noted above -- and he is looking for answers about his ancestors. Charles E. Leonard responds to Wm. Hutchison Esq., in 1893 that he knows little about the Hickmans. Another letter details all the children of William and Margaret born in Paris KY beginning with Jane in 1790. I will post this letter and its contents separately if anyone is interested. Let me know.. I can scan the letter or transcribe it.. it's four pages. FYI: Margaret's 1st husband was William H. Johnston -- his parents were Capt. William H. Johnston and Rachel Spears. William H. Johnston's sister Eliza Keller Johnston married Capt. David McClanahan Hickman. This lead me to discover that the Hickmans and Hutchinsons are a huge family related also to the Bass, Shackelford, Prewitt, Bass, Waller & McGavock... which in reviewing probate records etc., spans several decades of slave transactions between them all. I am somewhat discouraged. Interestingly enough Rachel's mother Elizabeth Spears estate was probated in Boone Co., -- the Spears have an interesting history. In an attempt to figure out more about William H. Johnston's mother Rachel Spears... I found a great detailed background about the Spears family.. and their connection to the Frys... amazing. http://www.shawhan.com/fry.html Here's a link on Noah Spears -- a son.. http://www.starbase21.com/kybiog/scott/spears.n.txt I went through the Boone Co wills and administrations and compiled sort of a family tree of transactions for Hutchinson, Hickman, Johnston, Cave, Keene, Prewitt, Nesbit etc. and a couple caught my eye and made me check into SPEARS more: Spears, Elizabeth - No. 261 - Will. Wm. Johnston, Robt. Thomas, Execs. Gr. Jan. 23, 1837. F.S. Feb. 16, 1848. Heirs of s. Solomon Spears, s. Abram, s. Noah, heirs of d. Rebecca Matson, dec., Elizabeth Grimes [m. Cuthbert Hickman], Sarah Jones, Rachel Johnston, gr. d. Elvira Thomas, Wm Johnston, gr. s., Jacob S. Johnston, Gr.s. Noah S. Johnsont, John T. M. Johnston, Wit. Z. Milloney and Jonathan Douglas. [Rachel Spears m. Capt. William H. Johnston] Capt. William H. Johnston's estate was also probated in Boone Co., No 907; Jan 16, 185. and the final settlement Feb. 10, 1854 -- I don't have these documents... but I would be very interested in slaves in the family for both. Son William H. Johnston proceded both of his parents in death... and his slaves went to his widow Margaret Hutchinson via her brother James Hutchinson who sold them to Nathaniel Leonard. My sense is that the slaves owned by William H. Hutchinson may have been bequeathed to him via his grandfather SOLOMON SPEARS and/or other relatives & purchases in Bourbon Co. This part of my research is daunting. A review of Boone Co., early estate records nearly blew my mind... the rental and sale of slaves and their children to family members and at auctions. I'm at a loss at the moment to tell you how unbelievable it all is... but if I could remind you all... who are researching MO ancestors, please keep your eyes peeled for slaves mentioned in your family records and help us [me and others] recreate what we can of our long lost families.

HR Lee was with the Quantrill Raiders. -----Original Message----- From: Traci Wilson-Kleekamp <twilsonklee@earthlink.net> To: MOAUDRAI-L@rootsweb.com <MOAUDRAI-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Sunday, October 28, 2001 8:03 PM Subject: [MOAUDRAI] Bourbon Co KY Families who came to Missouri >Hey folks... > >I was recently doing some research on the Hutchinson, Hickman, Nesbit, >Wilson, Johnston, McClanahan families etc,. and I had no idea how >inter-related they were...coming from Bourbon Co., KY and settling in >Callaway, Boone, Clay, Cooper counties etc. The bios on the website for >Bourbon Co., KY is excellent.

I guess I had forgotten one can search the Internet for pictures - what a treat this morning. For those of you, who like me who have forgotten - this is a fun search site for photos on the internet. http://images.google.com/ If you want pictures of anything on the Internet type in what you want, you will be as surprised as I was. This works the same as Google search engine for text, Kathleen Burnett List Mom

Charlotte, Since I am following slave ancestry -- I am seeing that there is a Nesbitt/Wilson connection in Boone Co., wills and administrations and also in Callaway Co., MO. It appears to me that the Nesbitt family has a connection to the Wilsons in Bourbon Co., KY via Millersburg. In the Boone Co., records there is a Nathaniel W. Wilson who is the administrator for the estate of William Nesbit. for August 7, 1837 A closer review of the Nesbit & Wilson connection includes ties to the McClelland family, Moss & Bryant. Callaway Co. records include a listing for: the last will of John Nebit, daughter Alice McClelland, and daughter Mary Nesbit. Wife Jane Nebit, children: Thomas, Alice, John M. Benjamin, Mary and William. probated Sept. 20, 1847 -- exectr., son Thomas Nebsit. References are made in the Boone Co., records to the Nesbits in Callaway... there is a WILSON connection handling the estate payments -- which leads me to believe there is some sort of family tie. I have been putting the pieces together of the Johnston, Hutchinson, Hickman family from Ravenswood that came from Bourbon Co., KY -- and I am bumping into these Nesbit, Moss, Bass, Bryan and McClelland connections and I'm trying to make sense of them via following slave transactions. My ancestors [some of who carried the Wilson name] ended up on Ravenswood in Cooper Co., MO via William H. Johnston. A review of William H. Johnston's family reveals a connection to William Hutchinson, Morgan Bryan, Eli Bass, Shackelford and a number of other Kentucky players who came to Missouri.. The Nesbit data just popped up. For William Nesbit.. Nathaniel Wilson is the administrator of his estate. Heirs are Mary Nebsit, Eliza Branhan, Thomas Nesbit, John, Joseph and Mary W. Nesbit of Boone Co., and Nancy Waller of Bourbon Co., KY for another Will for Lucian Wilson.. Sarah Bryan McClelland is mentioned -- and I know she has tied to the Nesbit family as well via the Moss, Thomas and Hickman families. I'm sorry I can not be more specific.. other that to say -- that I suspect a connection with your Audrain folks. I will work on getting a fuller profile of these folks and perhaps we can share data again soon. traci wilson-kleekamp

Charlotte: Milton Douglass' daughter, Louisa M. married Zac. T. Bodkin in October of 1871. Zac's older sister Mary C. Bodkin married a Mr. Wilson--I don't know his first name or parentage. My Bodkin clan were originally from Harrison County, KY. They migrated to Audrain County after spending a few brief years in Madison Co., OH. following the death of their father, William Bodkin. Do we possibly have a connection? Rod, Austin, TX

I can do the lookup for you if no one else has already answered.
