Anne Vaughn Tillery's first husbands last name was Vaughn. Hence, the childrens' last names of Vaughn. I'm not able at this time to look in boxes to see if I have her madam name someplace. But will do so when cleared by my doctor. (Just had surgery and am making sure I follow his directions to the letter this time. Don't want him saying it's my fault if the fuse doesn't take this time! LOL) Holly P.S. If you come across Lucy Tillery married to John Davidson in your research, please let me know what you find. I've hit a brick wall when it comes to finding out John's middle name and his parents or ancestry. There are several John Davidson's who seem to drop off the information highway in the research that the Davidson's have been doing, but who knows, maybe someone researching Tillery will find something. Thanks, Holly

List members: The Clay County Archives will have available on VHS and DVD's "The Story of Liberty (from settlement to suburb)". This film is A Footprints in Clay production, a committee of the Clay County Archives. I'm not sure at this time the price of the VHS or DVD. If you are interested please contact the Clay County Archives at info@claycountyarchives.org or call 816-781-3611 for further info or to order this video.

Surnames: Tillery Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/hMB.2ACI/878.1.1.1.2.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Hi Amy: I'm copying what you wrote so you'll see in front of you what I'm referring to: (I Just glanced in my records--there's a William Tillery listed in court records, 1842, for a land sale and a James Tillery whom my ancestor, Willis Shearer sold land to in 1837. Clayton is also listed several times, (although I didn't write down the dates or page numbers). Also, a "Lotty" Tillery, age 60, on the 1850 census, as well as a Nancy Tillery, age 45. --heard of any of these people? I'm also wondering about Nancy Tillery that married George Davis, in 1846. My ancestor, Matthew Shearer, lived with them for a short time as farm help. There are also some Tillery's buried at Mt. Zion Cemetery, Antioch Cemetery, Plattsburg, Turney Cemeteries in Clinton Co. Do you know if Clayton had any other family in Clay or Clinton counties? I'd be interested in knowing a little about him if you have anything on him. I have a small note about him from an email, saying, "Clayton Tillery age 50 is shown with his wife Ann M. age 48, Lucy F. age 9, Luvella or Louisa(hard to read) age 4 and three Vaughn children: Sarah A. age 20, Mary A. age 17, and Edward G. age 16 in Clay Co Liberty Twp." From the 1850 census. Do you know who these Vaughn children were and why they were living with Clayton's family? (I'm related to the Vaughn's too--Eppe Tillery's wife was Malinda Vaughn, my Sarah's sister).) Clayton was known as Capt. Clayton. b. 1797 in Ky. Came to Clay County, MO in 1821. He was a farmer and for 30 yrs was also a magistrate for Gallatin Township (Gladstone area). He was also a commander of a company of militia (kinda volunteer sheriff department). In 1826 he married Mary J. Ligon. They had 2 children. She died. He then married "Mrs." Annie Vaughn. She came to the marriage with her 3 children from her first marriage...the 3 Vaughn children you referenced. They then have Lucy, Ann and Lewellyn. Lord only knows why, but Lewellyn was listed in the 1850 census as Lewella Lewis, Female. Obviously he wasn't. In 1861, when he was 17 he enlisted in the Confederate service. He fought through the rest of the war. Starting out an Infantry Private and finishing up a Sargeant. He was wounded twice during this time. and spent 5 months on the disabled list. After the war, he settled into farming in Clay County and married. I'm trying at the moment to find a connection in writing that will show that his sister Lucy was my gggrandmother. But I'm not certain of this. In my notes, I have written down Nicholas or William Tillery, 1840, KY...but I don't know why I wrote that down. It could have just been that I wanted to remember to check KY records for them and then track them back a generation or two and then go forward looking for Lucy and who she married and who her children were. Hopefully they are Samuel Alexander D., Leander Augusts D. James Oscar D. (my ggrandfather), Florinda D. and Mary Ann D. I don't have any info on any of these people except that my father remembers "Uncle Gus" (Leander Augustus). Dad is 90 and had 2 strokes last year. His short term memory was blown away then, but he had to have surgery last month for malignant bladder tumors and they just about killed him doing the intebation for anesthesia. After heading into respiratory arrest twice that day, we got him back, and home...but now his long term memory is gone. Sigh!, poor guy he can't remember his family history....but he can still vividly remember his years! in Washington D.C. in Law School. His Dad and Harry Truman were friends and Dad was Margaret Trumans escort to the White House Balls and State Dinners whenever she was in town. He can tell you anything you want to know about Truman...but not what his ggrandfather's name was. Anyway, I think (off the top of my head) I had info that Clayton had married again after Annie M. Vaughn died. Buy the way, she was born in Va in 1801. I'm in the midst of moving, so I don't have anything in any shape to be able to locate info I've gathered into anything that makes sense. I just have loose pages with notes on them that I haven't had time to organize. I hope this helps some. Let me know if I can help with anything else. Buy the way, if it attaches properly, I'm including a picture of Llewelyn for you. I've had to put so much more work into my little bungalow I bought this spring than I expected, I'm selling a few things on eBay to raise the money for my movers. LOL. Just sold 3 CDV's of Confederate generals for $700!. I think Lewelleyn will bring between $150 and $350. The reason he'll bring this much is because the CDV is identified, with history, and being sold by a family member. Civil War buffs like that! Take care, I'll send you any other info I come across.
