He was listed as in "idiott" being kept by the county in the 1880 Dade Co., Sac Twp Census. He is listed next to Rachel & Joseph Fanning or Farming. There are alot of "if's" in this research as they are not my direct line and I can not find a hard fact about them, but I would love to put this piece of the puzzle with mine! I believe Stephen's parents to be Hezekiah Kile b. 1803 KY & Eliza ?? b. 1835 Indiana. (Hezekiah's second wife) Hezekiah moved from KY to the Dade area around 1837 and stayed until just a little before 1870 when they moved to Texas. I believe that Hezekiah died just shortly after the move (and maybe Eliza too). Eliza & Stephen are listed in Texas in 1870, but Stephen was back in MO by 1880, so maybe Eliza and/or Stephen came back to be with family. In 1850 Census, Hezekiah is living close to a Solomon Carter. I believe Solomon might be Eliza's father. Hezekiah also have the following children by his first marriage (Nancy Reed/Read) living with him in Dade Co., MO in 1850 & 1860 Census. William b. 1836 KY Joseph b. 1839 MO John b. 1841 Isaac b. 1844 Monroe b. 1847 (1st name could have been James) Mary b. 1849 Hezekiah's first wife might have died in child birth. Any info or connections to any of the above would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks~~Lesley
