Betty, I have been helping my sister-in-law on her family, and her paternal grandmother was Ida Elizabeth Birkes, born July 6, 1881, Barry Co. MO, the daughter of William Birkes, born Apr. 24, 1852, Berryville, AR, & Virginia Waller. Born Mar. 31, 1857, MO. Ida married Thomas Jefferson "Jeb" Thomlinson. Ida also had a brother, Charles T. Birkes, that died at the age of 19. Most of these families are buried at the Newtonia, IOOF Cemetery, Newtonia, Newton Co. MO. Do any of these sound familiar to you?

Wilma, I'm close in names, but not a match.. I have an Ida Ellen Birkes born 1883 in Ark. The father was Marion N Birkes. His father Silas was from Barry. MO. My Charles Birkes was born abt 1788 in NC. He had a son named George Washington. Just had to balance of Thomas Jefferson in your line. Still no matches with this "Roll Call" for me.

Hi Wilma, Thanks so much for your reply...I am rather new to Birkes... I am specificaly looking for a Lavelle Birkes (male) who lived near Exeter. I will add this Ida to my notes in case she comes in handy at a later date. Newtonia is not that far away.... The Birkes I know about lived in and a near Corsicana, Old El Paso, Ridgley they were general store owners in those towns. Thanks again Betty Higgs Lamberson ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wilma Fields" <wfields55@hotmail.com> To: <mobarry@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, October 26, 2007 12:33 PM Subject: Re: [MOBARRY] Roll Call > Betty, > > I have been helping my sister-in-law on her family, and her paternal > grandmother was Ida Elizabeth Birkes, born July 6, 1881, Barry Co.
