This would be about 1 mile south of the Lawrence-Dade Co. line and about 4 miles west of Highway 39. Round Grove Baptist Church is by the cemetery. The Cantwells buried in the Round Grove Cemetery are Sterling C. 1883-1966, and Vivian V., 1900-1957; James C., 1894-1973, and Hattie, Aug. 7, 1899-?. According to my information Hattie was the daughter of William Luther and Effie (Asher) Simpson. and the granddaughter of Johnson and Amanda (Hudspeth) Simpson. These Simpsons are also buried in Round Grove. Lynda

Boy, this is great information..............I think I got confused a little though......don't have a printer or my files at the moment.......They didn't kill John Cantrell?..............

The burning and murders were committed by (my gg uncle) Nicholas Houston Choate, Alfred Bigley and Stephen Hicks. I don't have my notes with me now, but they were brought trial, and after two changes of venue were acquitted in Greene Co 1867 or 1868 if memory serves. After the incident, several volunteered (below): "Following that incident, James Warren Berry, James Gaskin > Berry's son, joined Company 'E' 76th Cavalry Enrolled Missouri Militia, under > James M.

In essence, my ggg uncle Nicholas Houston Choate, along with two cohorts, Stephen Hicks and Alfred Bigley, were the primary folks responsible for the burning of Dadeville, despite their later acquittal in Greene Co, after two changes of venue. A descendant of Nicholas Houston Choate said they undoubtedly did the deed. Choate apparently saw himself as a self-styled small time version of Quantrill's raiders, aiding the cause of the South. As Florence posted before, after the burning, several men joined the Union forces...among them an undoubted relative of Alfred Bigley, and Nicholas H. Choate's own brother-in-law Robert Bird. Obviously, the incident had a severe impact on families. Ultimately, and perhaps directly related, Nicholas left his wife Nancy Paralee Bird and his children (cared for by his father Powhatan Choate & mother Winney Haley). Another descendant said he committed suicide in the early 1900s in TX. Here is the earlier exchange.

I don't have any more of the story because it too, is from History of Dade County and its people, on page 90. I have requested pages before and after page 90 from the Dade County Genealogy Society, but without success. I have also looked for that book in the LDS Family History Library, and several other places, without success. Maybe we can get enough information about Quantrill's raiders to puttogether information on both our families. It looks as though these families were truly split and turned against each other at that time. Does anyone have any more information about Quantrill's Raiders and the response to them in Dadeville? Florence ______________________________ All of your post was very interesting, and I am going to see if I can find the book that was also cited to me on the Quantrills. I had no idea about the consequences of the burning of Dadeville..nor the impact on dividing families, further to which: Of particular note, which I did not mention in my original post is that Nicholas Houston Choate's first wife was Nancy Parilee Bird, sister to Lucinda (Choate) Bird's husband Henry Bird. I would imagine that the Robert Bird you mention is Henry and Nancy Parilee's brother who married Jane Wilson. These three Birds and their siblings were all the children of John Byrd and Nancy Couts. You can find them, their descendants (us) and probably alot more folks you might know from Lawrence/Dade, etc. here: http://www.syix.com/bevans/barbara/barjohn.htm. ______________________________ ------------------------------

Sometimes the name Cantwell was the same family as Cantrell.......What Cantwell's were buried in Round Cemetery? Where is that located?.........Nancy Stockton was the daughter of Peter Cantrell, I believe.........I don't have all my files here......

Are there any folks out there researching the Dade County Allison families? Some information on another list from the 1600s turned up, and a website at WorldConnect traced some Dade Co families back to Robt Ellison and Hannah Gerhard, the subjects of this information on Quaker-Roots list. The World Connect Site I am referring to is here: http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=AHN&db=donevanell& id=I01641 This is an Ahnentafel. Click on 32 at the bottom to get back to Robt and Hannah ***I am also curious if just one particularly family group of Allisons comprises those in in Sections Sections 28, 33 of South Township (30, 26) see map: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~judysstuff/dade/104.gif I have no idea if this is accurate but go to this website if you are an Allison (who surrounded my Sexton grandparents in South Township purchased I believe M. Jones, possibly V Allison's plot shown Section 33 above map. My best, Janet Hunter

LtISandy stated "I understand that Dadeville was burned during the civil war and one of Peter Cantrell's son's were killed." end quote. Does anyone have the details behind the story of Dadeville, burning during the Civil War? By whom ? Or the details of the Court house in Greenfield burning during the Civil War? There was a tradition in our family that one of my fathers great uncles John Mitchell Dicus, was murdered during the civil war. A Doctor was said to have given him quicksilver for his influenza. His wife Mary was so frightened that after she had buried her husband, she was said to have hidden in the forest for days with her children for fear they would all be murdered. Nancy Dicus Beck

Had to comment on the size of Greenfield in recent posting. I assume the "8,000" people was a typo. 800 would be more like it. Maybe twice that many in the county, at least about 10 years ago. It is beautiful, as you stated. I was born in the area and have many kin, living and deceased there. But like us all, people have constraints on their time and their resources. They have been wonderfully helpful and kind. Can anyone provide the straight info (maybe from the last census) as to how many people live Greenfield, and also how many Dade. Who was the one interested in SUTHERLAND surname? Would like to compare notes. Helen

Donna: In my research on the Round Grove Cemetery in the north central part of Lawrence Co., I have looked for information on William W. Stockton, April 24, 1836-Aug. 9, 1881 and Nancy Stockton, May 3, 1837-1878 and given on the gravestone as the wife of Wm. They are buried in Round Grove. Your posting has helped. Some of this may already have been posted, but I would appreciate getting information on the parents and family of Nancy Stockton and of William W. Stockton. One other Stockton buried in Round Grove, at least in a marked grave, is John Stockton. This cemetery information I have gives John's marker as an old funeral home marker with no dates. Do you know of a relationship between John and William W.? There are some Cantwells buried in Round Grove but I don't see any listings for Cantrells. Lynda West Hahn

I don't live in Dade Co. but I am near enough to go up there often. I believe someone else mentioned that Fair Play is not in Dade Co so we'll have to check another county for that one.

Thanks to you guys for the information on the Cantrell's.........Is any part of Fair Play in Dade County?...........

Hey, you all.....cool it! There is enough dissention in the world without fighting on the genie info site!!! The Everton Genie magazine has PLENTY of info on researchers....and that magazine is everywhere....and is a great quality publication. Now, what is the problem???

I have four questions....first, does anyone on this list live in Dade County? I understand that Hiram Amos Cantrell is buried in Fair Play....does anyone have cemetery books for Dade County, and is Fair Play in Dade County? I understand that Dadeville was burned during the civil war and one of Peter Cantrell's son's were killed.....Does anyone know where John CAntrell is buried?..............Also, Nancy Cantrell was married to a Stockton, is anyone on this list descend from the Stockton's? Hiram Cantrell was in the civil war but moved to California around 1901 where he died.....I understand one of his descendants that stayed in Dade County has a picture of him in his civil war uniform.......

Hi Donna, Which Cantrell family do you descend from?......I am looking for the grave of Elijah, the father of Hiram......Elijah Cantrell was married to Sarah Cantrell..........I am also looking for the grave of Peter CAntrell but I think he may have been buried in Lawrence County

I am a Stockton descendant. I know there are others because I've been in touch. Helen ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> ...Also, Nancy Cantrell was married to a Stockton, is > anyone on this list descend from the > Stockton's?....
