Would someone who has access to a county marriage book mind doing a look up for me? I am researching my Blankenship line and coming to nothing but deadends. I am looking for the marriage date and location of Calvin Blankenship and Deliah as well as William Blankenship and Pamelia (Pamela) Jane/June. Any help would be appreciated. Please let me know if you are able to find anything and if you couldn't. Also, if anyone else is researching the Blankenship line In Missouri, especially in the  south/Southwest region of Missouri, please me let know as there may be an unknown connection. Thank you for your time and help. Madison Coleman Thanks! Madison http://communities.msn.com/BlankenshipGenealogy

Aloha Tim and All on the Clark List: Since I won't be dropping in on the Clark County Museum any time soon, I would like to know more about all of the wonderful records! How far back do the obits go? I am looking for my GG GF's obit--the microfilmed newspapers don't go back that far, but am hoping that they might be in the museum records. Wolfe Cemetery Des Moines Twp. Section 8 St. Francisville, MO Cemetery Inscriptions of Clark County, MO Compiled by Dunlap & Walker 1974 Page 140 SMALLWOOD, Hezekiah, d Sept 8 or 18, 1869, ages 70 yrs, 1 mo, 18 days Do you all think that there would be a Will or Probate record for Hezekiah? Don't know where his widow, Elizabeth, is on the 1870 Census. I have chased them all over KY to MO, so hope to find out more details. Any other ideas? His son, John Riley SMALLWOOD is on the 1870 Clark Census and John's son, Henry Everett SMALLWOOD was born in St. Francisville in 1865. John's wife, Minerva, who d. 1868 and another son, Thomas who d. 1870 are buried in the Old Prairie Cemetery. Then today, I received the CW military record for Wilkinson SMALLWOOD, who I hope is my family, and his money was sent to widow, Catherine, in St. Francisville in 1863. Think I have found her in 1870 Census as Sarah Catherine Payne with two daughters back in Schuyler County where some of the families were in 1860. Thank you all so very much for helping me.

I am trying to find any information on my grandfather's family. Grandfather was Harry B. Northrup and he had a sister, Blanch. They lived in Athens and he was probably born at home around the end of the 19th century. I would say between 1880 and 1890. My mother says there wasn't much more than a school and a church along with a handful of farms. She doesn't even remember if there was a store. Any information at all about Athens or the Northrups would be a wonderful place to start. Nicholas Thirkettle P.O. Box 187 Jenner, CA 95450 (707) 632-5035 nkettle@sonic.net www.sonic.net/~nkettle

Greetings all, I was recently back in Clark County and had the opportunity to visit the Clark County Museum in Kahoka. I am embarrassed to admit I did not catch the names of the two ladies there however, I was totally impressed with the friendly assistance I received. >From the moment I walked in I was led from one historical index to another in effort to locate information on my ggg grandfather. They have a ton of information there. And one of the gals was updating the obits while I was there. I understood that she was volunteering her time. That is commendable. We did not break through the brick wall (my ggg grandfather) while was there, but that was probably due to my time constraints and not their lack of material to review. Additionally, they a nice collection of Clark County Historical paraphernalia. I highly recommend a visit if your in the Clark County area. Tim Kinkeade

Good Morning! This is my first posting to the site and I am hoping that someone in Missouri will have a connection with my family. I have been researching this line for about 4 years and have hit brick walls. Last night I had it, and subscribed to every single Missouri county, so maybe I will have a breakthrough, or at least help someone else. This may be quite lengthy and if anyone needs clearification if I dont make sense somewhere, please let me know: Calvin Blankenship was born in Tennessee est. 1820-25. I know absolutely nothing about his parents, but in 1850 he was living next door to Wiliam and Pamela Jane Blankenship and their daughter Nancy, who was born in 1850. William was born a year or two after Calvin and he was also born in TN. I have to assume that they are related if not brothers. Calvin first appeared on the Texas County, District # 98 1850 Census with his Wife Delilah who was born in IL, her parents were born in TN, and three children: William P Angeline and James. His son, William was born abt. 1844 in MO so that indicates that they were in Missouri at least by 1844. By 1860, it is now called Boon Township and they have five more children : Nancy, Franklin, John, David, and Martha E. Calvin enlisted into the Confederate Army in 1861 and died in 1864. No military record exsists other than his Muster Roll. Then in 1870 and 1880 Delilah is the head of the household and in 1870 Henry (my gg grandfather) has appeared on the census for the first time. Deliah died between 1880-1883. She and Calvin are buried at Mitchell Cemetery. CALVIN AND DELIAH's CHildren and decendents I have only been about to locate two of Calvin's children on the census other than my gg grandfather: David b. abt 1857 married Margaret Sullins (daughter of Reuben Sullins) on May 6, 1886 in Licking Missouri. They had sic children: Dolts, Mary,Elmer,Alta (married Thomas Richards),Maggie, and lola. Angeline married Logan D. Harper. They had four girls: 1. Nancy Eliza : b. 1866 m. John W. Mitchell on July 23,1883 (Franklin Blankenship consented) in Licking, Missouri. They had 8 kids:William H, Carl L, Winnie M, Alma L, David, Justine, Eddie and Henry. 2. Mary, died young 3. Lucy b. 1870 married a Williams 4. Laura Ellen b. Sept 16, 1873 m. Edward Buckner (son of Thomas and Viney Buckner) had 6 kids: William Franklin b. Feb 10, 1893 m. Bertha Murr Logan James b. April 27, 1895 d. Mar 22, 1988 m. Thimsen Scranko and Mary Cochran Ethel b. July 1897 m. Hebrew Sukkins on Jan 30, 1915 Bryan b. Dec 22, 1899 m. Blanche Hobson Charles Allen b. Dec 22, 1903 m. Nell Hobson, d. April 2,1973 Ava Ruth b. Oct 18, 1905 Henry married Lillie Ellen Smith, daughter of James E. Madison Smith and Margaret Ellen Stricklin. They had 2 sons, Irven who married Rhoda Ormsby and Virgil who married Grace Viola Adkins, daughter of Charles Adkins and Hester Gatewood. I hope I made sense, and more importantly, a connection!

Hi Betty, I was wondering if there was any way you could contact the Historical Society to see if they have the new printing of the Clark Co. Cemeteries Book in as yet. I wrote to them some time ago and they said they were waiting for them and haven't been able to get an answer as yet. I want to purchase a copy and can't get there very easily when they are open and don't want to drive there till I would be sure they had the books to purchase. I live in Bettendorf, Iowa and so really need a go between to check on this for me. I would really appreciate if you could.

Hi List Please address any question to Robert M. Doerr at bdoerr@rollanet.org . Genealogical Researchers in Missouri: Let's really push for opening of the Missouri vital records 72 years or older. This will require legislative action. Let's get it passed in the up-coming session! Surely, it would be beneficial, during the present campaign, to present this issue to the candidates for state legislature and state senate. The following may help you in your contacts with the candidates in your district. Keep it non-partisan. Dear Legislator Candidate: Many, many Missourians are keenly interested in family history. However, some are impeded by a problem that exists with regard to the State Vital Records Office and which, indeed, would exist in any similar situation. The time has arrived for microfilm copies of the Missouri vital records (72 years old or older), and indexes at the State Vital Records Office in the Department of Health to be made available to the public at the State Archives. A 72-year interval is not arbitrary. Owing to the Federal regulation that census data remain closed for 72 years, that interval has become a de facto standard in the USA. A 72-year interval suffices for privacy. Justification: Family Historians must be enabled to study record after record, not just seek one record at a time, and especially not have to work through an intermediary person or to depend on an index. That is essential, because of the many problems in interpretation of hand-written records, many typos, many spelling variations in names, even many variations in names themselves. There are many entries in which the surnames are mis-spelled. Here is an example. One researcher's great-grandma's married name was Zakrzewski, a name that, with the silent 'k', is more often butchered than not. She died in St. Louis some time after May, 1910. Surely, her death is recorded in the State Vital Records office The only practical way to find her death data would be to search all the surnames that begin "Za", "Ze", "Sa" or "Se" in that time period. Repeated tries thru the Vital Records Office have been costly, but not successful. In another case, a researcher submitted formal requests and fees to a vital records office (not Jefferson City) for his aunt's birth and death dates. He knew, and stated, that she was born and had died in the 1890s. They reported finding neither birth nor death records. As it happens, those older birth and death records are open. When he reviewed the microfilms, he found both her birth and death data. And he found that her birth name differed from her baptismal name and from her name at death! The latter had been the only name that he had known for her. Perhaps that vital records office's index cards were out of sequence. More likely, they had her recorded by only one of her names. Because hand-written capital letters are the most troublesome, it often happens that indexes are severely deficient. Yet a governmental office can only check via an index. The Soundex system is similarly deficient, for it, too, depends on the surname initial. All that is needed is to add to Sect. 193.245 of RSMO 1994 a new sub-paragraph as follows: (4) The department shall provide microfilms of all vital records that are 72 years old or older, and microfilms of indexes to such records, to the State Archives for study by the public. Please note that this would in no way interfere with the present practices of the vital records office. In the most-recent legislature, different bills were introduced into each house, and hearings were held, but no action has yet been taken. Will you support family researchers in this effort?

Would appreciate any help you can offer and am willing to share this family information with anyone interested. Sincerely; Bruce Preston in Independence, MO
