I have conflicting claims on Roberts birthplace, namely Clay Co and the state of Virginia. He served in the 43rd Missouri Infantry. He apparently died in Texas while still in the army about 1865. Hope that helps, John

I have not been able to find an actual obituary for her yet. I would be extremely grateful if you could email what you have on...........Young, Gnola 136. Actually, just FYI, her actual name was Enola Young. I only realize this is her because her marriage license had Enola spelled the same way. Thanks, Janet Hankins

Surnames: DeMoss Trout Thomas Shannon McCulloch Owens Hickman Hixson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/hMB.2ACI/899.1 Message Board Post: My mother was born and raised in Paradise, Missouri, (and my father had a farm in Mecca, which is a few miles north of Paradise). I have posted my genealogy efforts on WorldConnect, Rootsweb, which you can find at: http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=richard_a_thomas There are a few Wades (about 50 I think) in it. Everyone in the genealogy I've posted is in one single tree. That is, each individual is an ancestor or descendant of at least one other individual in the database or is married to an individual in the database, and one can trace a link through marriages, parents, and children from any one person to every other person. I think there are about 7,000 individuals in the database. Most of the people lived in the area where I grew up, northwest Clay County, southwest Clinton County, or middle to northeastern Platte County. The nearby towns are Ridgley, Trimble, Mecca, Paradise, Smithville, Grayson, Edgerton, Linkville, and Ferrelview. Further away are Plattsburg, Kearney, and Platte City. So if you are looking for people who lived in those areas, you may find them included among those I've put into the database. (People in this area tended to marry people nearby.)

CHAPMAN, DIXON, JAMES, KIRKPATRICK "The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Saturday, November 16, 1895 Rev. William JAMES, 84 years of age, died Thursday night at his residence, 1431 Summit street, of old age. The deceased was born September 17, 1811, at Russellville, Ky., where he lived until 1866, when he came to Kansas City. He became a Methodist minister in 1832, retiring about ten years ago, devoting the later years of his life to the poor. T. M. JAMES and D. W. JAMES of this city are his brothers. The children were Mrs. L. A. CHAPMAN, Mrs. C. E. DIXON and Mrs. George KIRKPATRICK, all of Kansas City, and Luther JAMES of Washington, D. C., and George JAMES of Clay county, Missouri. Rev. W. C. HILL of the Washington Street M. E. church will conduct funeral exercises at 10 o'clock this morning at the home. Oak Grove cemetery in Kansas City, Kas., is the place of interment. "The Kansas City Journal" (Missouri) Saturday, November 16, 1895 The funeral services of the late Rev. William JAMES, who died at his home, No. 1413 Summit street, at 8:30 o'clock Thursday evening, of the infirmities of old age, will be held at the house at 10 o'clock this morning. Rev. William HILL of the Washington Street M. E. church will conduct the services. Rev. JAMES will be buried in Oak Grove cemetery, Kansas City, Kas. Rev. JAMES was born in Russellville, Logan county, Ky., in 1811, and was therefore 84 years of age at the time of his death. He was ordained a minister of the Methodist Episcopal church in 1832. For many years he was a circuit rider. In 1849 he moved to Kansas City, and lived here until his death. Of late years, Dr. JAMES, owing to advanced years and delicate health, had charge of no especial church, but spent his time preaching to such as could not afford to employ a pastor, and in works of charity. He left five children, two sons and three daughters. All of his daughters are married and live in Kansas City. One of his sons is a farmer in Clay county, the other resides in Washington. D. C. Dr. JAMES has two brothers living, D. W. JAMES, of California, and T. M. JAMES, head of the firm of T. M. JAMES & Son, of this city.
