Nicholas Alexander Inman, the son of David Alexander and Elizabeth Carnes Inman, came to Christian Co. from Monroe and Loudon Cos., TN before the Civil War. He was almost certainly related to the Inmans from Giles TN, who had their roots in Grainger, Jefferson, Greene Cos., TN and Augusta, VA. When Nicholas first came to Missouri, he was a boarder in the Weaver home in Ozark with Samuel Faught from Giles Co. Nicholas' farm was located adjacent to the farm of my great-great-grandparents, John Wesley and Lavanda Wilson Inman, southeast of Nixa and south of what was known as the Mt. Vernon Road, now Missouri 14. But John W. was from the Giles branch. I don't have the e-mail that led to your question about Faughts. Faught's Store was the center of a community three to four miles west-by-northwest of old Nixa, just south of McConnell Cemetery, as far as I can tell. I have associated it with Walter "Scott" Faught (b. 1871, or seven years before Nixa was named), son of Wiley Blount and Elisabeth F. McConnell Faught and grandson of Walter McConnell. Scott was relatively prominent as a young man in the area and became the federal census taker in 1900 after Mord Edwards' alcoholism became full-blown and he was admitted to Nevada State Hospital. For a time, Scott tried to get a post office at Faughts in the early 1900s, but failed. Faught's Church was also there, but it was moved to Nixa and became the First Church of Christ or Christian Church of Nixa. (I probably have the name wrong, but it's the predecessor of a still-functioning church.) The Faughts, McConnells, Edwardses and other early settlers from Maury and Giles TN were primarily Disciples of Christ; the Inmans were Methodist. Louisa Caroline Inman Glover Wilson Sanders said in a federal affidavit that she buried her second husband, James H. Wilson (my ggg-grandfather), in Faughts graveyard. If it was located at the church and store, the site is lost. She, however, may have meant McConnell Cemetery or Payne Cemetery, which is where her third husband William Sanders is buried. (Louisa died in Oklahoma and is buried there.) McConnell Cemetery was well-known by that name in the 1890s, just after John W. McConnell deeded the land to the county for community burial use. The Ozark paper in the 1890s advertised an annual spring cleanup for McConnell Cemetery in anticipation of "Decoration Day," as it was known then. The community around Faughts also was referred to a something "grove" just after the Civil War in correspondence by Elizabeth Wood Faught, the mother of Wiley Jr. perhaps Pleasant Grove, apparently in reference to a church.
