This is just a reminder to everyone that there is a FREE (ie, not Ancestry.com) website that has the 1830-1850 census images and slave schedules for Missouri on line. There are no indexes, but once you get the pages like those for the Burnetts below for the entire state you can go directly to the page. The URL for the website is here: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~mackley/census_page.htm The 1850 AND 1920 Dade Co. Census records have been transcribed and can be found through the Dade Co link here. 1920 is complete, despite the description : http://www.us-census.org/states/missouri/ Good Luck, Janet Hunter In a message dated 8/26/2002 8:45:28 PM Eastern Standard Time, [email protected] writes: > don't see your people in Dade Co. 1850 Census but there are 10 in > Missouri. > You could probably eliminate some via Age or County? > Burnett, William > State: Missouri Year: 1850 > County: Andrew Roll: M432_391 > Township: Savannah Twp Page: 61 > Burnett, William > State: Missouri Year: 1850 > County: Benton Roll: M432_392 > Township: Fristo Twp Page: 283 >

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/CKB.2ACE/1570 Message Board Post: I am descended from Orlena America STOCKTON, daughter of Andrew Jackson STOCKTON and Martha RAGAN. Andrew was a son of Daniel Morgan STOCKTON and Sarah Goodnight MCGOWAN. Does anyone have verification that Sarah was or was not of Cherokee descent? I have always heard that she was, but never seen any proof. Also, if anyone wants look-ups of who's buried in the STOCKTON Cemetery, I have a booklet of the names, printed by the Dade County Historical Society. Jean Hoffmann

I don't see your people in Dade Co. 1850 Census but there are 10 in Missouri. You could probably eliminate some via Age or County?

If you find your relatives on any of the plats or any other records that you think may have a connection in Greene County, you may find a mountain of ORIGINAL papers at : Greene County Archives & Records Center Office of the County Clerk 1126 Boonville Springfield, MO 65802 Call to get their hours, copies were only a dime when I went. I wanted Dade Co, MO records that had a venue change to Lawrence Co, MO and finally to Greene Co, MO. I had several grandfathers mentioned in them and their index said "charges" so I went thinking they were charged with murder and arson during the Civil War in Dade County, MO. Instead, they were on the JURY in Dade Co, for the ones accused of the crimes. All the accused were acquitted since it occurred during the War. I copied other records also and some were all kinds of loose papers 1x6 or larger, some bound by ribbons at the top. For anyone that can go search the files it would be well worthwhile to go to Springfield at this location. Federal Records should be there also, or somewhere in Springfield. It must be the easiest street in town to find but not much off-street parking. The files, I believe were indexed (computer), and stored in boxes on shelving . I went to the Mount Vernon, MO County Court house as well and found original documents of records and they were very patient about copying them but the cost of copying was very expensive. Sadly the only genealogical society was open only one day a week by a employee of the local newspaper, by appointment. The marriage books are there back to when Lawrence County was a part of Barry County but not on microfilm so you have to go through each original book. So if you are lucky, you might find something before then in the Springfield sources above.

I believe it is the opposite of the following, but we could just have a semantic difference: > Townships run north and south > > Range runs east and west > If you look at the Index to the Dade Co Atlas here, http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~judysstuff/dade/05.gif Then compare it to the Census Township Districts defined in the Index you can see here at the map at the county website (scroll down): http://www.rootsweb.com/~modade/modade.htm You will see that all those in Township 30 lie along in the Lawrence County border in the Southern part of the county, and thus is the strip that runs East to West. With respect to Range, similarly, the eastern border of the county is defined by those parcels of land in Range 25 and thus ranges runs north to south. Best Regards Janet Hunter

Township is also problematic...I remember four years ago I was totally confused until some helpful individual patiently explained to me that the neat townships, are in no way directly related to the townships used for census enumerations. The township and range numbers (like the range numbers) refer (almost) always to a strip of land that is six miles wide that runs the length or breadth of the state. I say almost always because the township directly to the south of Dade County in Lawrence County is a little larger because Sections 1-6 are twice as long (2 miles by 1 mile if memory serves), Township numbers define these East to West strips. Range Numbers are the North to South Strips. The squares (usually) created by their intersection are then divided into.... Thirty-six Sections make up one parcel identified by a Township/Range combination. Within this combination, the Sections are ordered the following way as you can see by the maps, beginning in the upper northeast corner proceeding west 1-6, then going directly south proceeding east 7-12, and so on. Like the game Chutes and Ladders (which surely almost all of us are familiar). Remember the original land grantees for these plots, if you know them, can be found at the Bureau of Land Management Website. You can search by County, by any smaller group of Section, Township, Range, etc. Doing this you can figure out who the original neighbors were by going through them section by section. This is an excellent substitute for deeds to get clues and you can examine it in the comfort of your home. You should know that the dates shown on the certificates you can access there are the dates that they were issued, not when the purchase was made. The originals of those documents are at the National Archives in Washington DC for Missouri. Usually the land was actually purchased from 1 to 4 years before certificates were issued. That website is here: www.glorecords.blm.gov (Think www.General Land Office Records.Bureau of Land Management.Government). Good Luck!

I sure appreciate the information given here. I have not yet gotten to looking into plat maps yet, but when I need to, I'll at least have some information. Thanks all. Amy

Range Townships run north and south Range runs east and west The townships are divided into sections. The sections are divided into smaller parcels of land that are numbered, each one being numbered in exactly the same sequence. When I am looking for a piece of land I look first for the Township number. Then I look for the Township range. Then, like reading a map, find where they intersect. Then find the section number within the square.

Mildred; Thanks on the range, twp,section information. Since I'm a novice at all this, that info will be helpful as I didn't know any of it! It's much appreciated. jl. ~~~~~~~~~ > Townships run north and south > Range runs east and west > The townships are divided into sections. > The sections are divided into smaller parcels of land that are numbered, each one being numbered in exactly the same sequence. > > When I am looking for a piece of land I look first for the Township number.

I am still trying to no avail to find the parents of William Lavender Burnett, b. 1820 Grainger, TN married Louisa (?) then Annie Watkins Gentry. Moved to Dade County in the 1840s I believe and is buried in Collins Cemetery. His son John Martin Burnett, b. Stockton, MO in 1858 married Alice Ann Tilman b.1861 daughter of Thomas Tilman and Nancy Margaret Ann Farris. John's son Larry Oren Burnett m Edith Bell I have more information if any of you connect. I would appreciate any information or guidance on this family. Thanks, Jann Davenport Oklahoma City, OK

Looking at the Dade Co. 1903 Plat book, there are some headings at the top. They are: Twp. Rng & Section. I know what Twp & Section mean but could someone tell me what the "Rng" means. Thanks, Julie in CA

They are both online at Judy Reustle's great website , where you found the Dade County list, though the Lawrence County Atlas is indexed differently. Here is what she has, nothing that Lawrence and Jasper County Atlases are for the 1870s, while Polk, Greene & Dade are for the earlier 1900s. The URL and listings are: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~judysstuff/maps.htm DADE COUNTY STANDARD ATLAS, 1903-4 GREENE COUNTY PLAT BOOK, 1904 JASPER COUNTY ILLUSTRATED HISTORICAL ATLAS, 1876 LAWRENCE COUNTY ILLUSTRATED HISTORICAL ATLAS, POLK COUNTY PLAT BOOK, 1903 Judy also has some great pictures online, including some new ones of Greenfield at her "Road Home" Link here: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~judysstuff/roads/01.htm Have fun everyone!! Janet Hunter

Thank You again. I thought I looked for this stuff. I guess I am just having difficulty navigating through the Judystuff site. I will find the stuff you have pointed out though.

Great Links. I will print out the info and go from there. Our Asa Thomas Hughes brother David ended up in Lawrence in 1920. He was in Lincoln township. Didn't find him there in 1900 or 1910 Hoping they all were in Dade but may have to try Greene too.
