Hi Cape Girardeau Researchers, I am new to the list. Does anyone have any information on a Richard Newkirk that was listed in the 1840 and 1850 Cape Girardeau census? I believe he was a minister as he married our gggrandparents in Cape Girardeau Co. in 1854. He was also listed in SToddard Co. census in 1860. May have been father or brother to a Martha Newkirk married to William Tippet. I am researching the Tippets in Cape Girardeau, Bollinger, Wayne and Stoddard Counties and believe there might be a connection. Thanks for any help. Betty
