Hello, The families that I am researching are: Howard, Stanton and Swinford. I do have some data on the Stanton family. They moved on to Henry Co, where they resided for many years. I am most interested in finding a grave or death date for George E. Howard died between 1850-1860. There was a John and Mary Howard in the early families of this county, we are wondering if these may be the parents of George Howard or any of the other early Howard's may be connected.

Bryan, Were James H. Cross and Mary Cross brother and sister ? What are their birthdates? Do they have other siblings? Jonathan, Maria, Elizabeth? Are their parents John & Cyrene Cross? Do census records give their place of birth as Ohio? Was there an older James H. & Sarah Cross living near them? Linda Hawk

Hi, I'm Connie (Ingram), my folks still live on the Ingram farm in Warsaw, MO. William was my ggrandfather. I've just started searching. Thanks for the info! If I can help on my end just let me know. You can contact me at [email protected] .

I am helping my husband's aunt who married a Weymouth. Her husband's family all came from Cole Camp, MO and I wonder if they might link to this ancestor. The family changed the spelling from Weymuth to Weymouth. His aunt was married to Myron Weymouth whose father was George J. Weymouth, b. Aug 4, 1889 in Cole Camp, MO. I have on a death record that his mother's maiden name was Brandt. He married a Mayola Curtis in Cole Camp. George was a contractor there. He had a brother named Jacob "Jake" and a sister Laura. Do you have any information that might link them to this family? I doubt that there are that many Weymuth's in the area at this time.

Mass graves for Civil War veterans are known to be at Union...2 1/2 miles South of Cole Camp and Monsees Lutheran Cemetery 4 miles South-east of Cole Camp. These are the soldiers killed at the Battle of Cole Camp. Barbara

Christopher Elmore was administrator of estate of James Fitzhugh. I have court records, Greene Co., from Aug 1834 to Jan 1835. Have 1 record where records were removed to Benton Co. Am trying to find those now. Elmore's having the Ferry on Osage River helps me locate place where James (my ggg grandfather) lived. I have no family info for you, but you may have copies of Elmore's work on my familys behalf if you wish. Bev Burt [email protected]

Hi - if anyone is interested, I uploaded to my Home Site pictures of Benton Co; also Cole Camp Sr. class of 1917; Cole Camp Boy Scouts - 1913; my McCalls and Wrays and the Sr. Class 1917 Tacky Picnic. Please be patient while viewing these as some of them are very large and take a while to set up. Names are on the Sr.Class and Boy Scouts pictures or just below them. I guess the easiest way for you to see what you want to see is go to my home page, scroll down about 1/2 way and click on which ones you want to see. If any of you want them, you can download them using your right mouse while over the picture OR let me know and I can send them e-mail either jpeg or in the Adobe Photo Shop format. But please let me know if you do download one or more. Have fun! http://home.att.net/~unab22 -- Nancy A. - New Mexico Lost Ancestor site: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~unab22 Home site: http://home.att.net/~unab22
