Not my family but I did find them in Kings Prairie Twp, Barry Co. in the 1900 census listed as: Benj. H. MAAS in the index but census taker wrote MOAS. . B. Jan 1845 in MO, Parents are both born in Holland Wife: Mary B. and kids: Effie, Harrison, Luther and Jno H. Does Holland birth give anyone a clue as to proper spelling?

It was a lucky day when Phyllis Long found him in the death certificates listed as Benjamin Herman Moss.

I think maybe he is incorrectly listed in Callaway so I changed the spelling on our pages from Maas to Moss. but If we have it wrong, please do let us know. > >Benjamin was born in Jefferson City in Cole County, and is buried in Kings Prairie Cemetery - New Liberty Cemetery. > >As you probably already know that cemetery is really Kings Prairie Cemetery and is located at New Liberty Church but we have it on line as New Liberty Cemetery. I inherited it named incorrectly but haven't changed it. I suppose it should be changed to read correctly but would mean changing a lot of files and the directory, too, to do so. > >Oh, and some interesting trivia - a cemetery that is next to a church is called a graveyard and one without a church is really called a cemetery. We have all of ours in Barry County listed as cemeteries - but that is also correct, I think - well, anyway, I hope so. *smile* > >Anyway, for those of you who have been looking for Benjamin, you owe Phyllis Long a big thank you for finding him in the death certificates. > >http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mobarry/cemetery/newliberty/newliberty.htm > >Donna Cooper > > > > >The list-admin is Donna Cooper, address - ([email protected]) > >------------------------------- >To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message > > >------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > >No virus found in this incoming message. >Checked by AVG - www.avg.com >Version: 9.0.830 / Virus Database: 271.1.1/2970 - Release Date: 06/28/10 23:35:00 > > > No virus found in this outgoing message.
