List Readers, this message came in as a forward from Cheryl - for the marriages but has a notice about a reunion in the text. And so I thought you might be interested in knowing about it. Notice in the message that Jean is telling us also about the 12 Pioneer Families and when they meet and I thought you might like to know about the reunion. Here is a snip from her message - "I visit Barry, Newton, Lawrence County every 3d Sunday September for the 12 Pioneer Families Reunion held in Monett City Park (in Barry County!).   Of the early 1840's Barry County Marriages, there are a couple that apply to our Reunion group of Pioneers: Boucher, Cagle, Spilman, Wormington, Pruitt come to mind off the top of my head."   "12 Pioneer Families' Reunion - 3d Sunday September 2010, Monett City Park Casino - Bring a covered dish and come join us!" Jean and Cheryl, I will have to look at the original records to see if how these names are spelled before I make any changes. Listings in a book are not what we go by. I will pull the records on Ancestry and see how the name Withers is spelled there. I didn't see but the one name that was questioned but the message reads that there are two. I couldn't seem to pick out the other name from the text that was sent. Is the surname Moseley one that is questioned? I need to know so that I can pull the marriage record and look at the spelling.
