Looking for family ties to Benjamin KESNER who appears on the 1880 S Benton, Cedar, MO census with his son-in-law, Richard CROSS and daughter, Martha Abrigail KESNER CROSS. Benjamin's wife, Margaret COFFMAN KESNER wrote an 1874 letter "home" to WV from Urbana, Dallas, MO where they were visiting; probably with their son, Simeon KESNER. Any clues about this family are greatly appreciated. Thank you, Dianna Anderson

List , I recieved this in reply to my post about Mary Elizabeth Nimmo. I know there are people out there who are researching her family. Carrolyn Hi, I saw your query and was wondering if you have a William C. Nimmo who married Sarah Elizabeth Powell? Sarah Powell was born in 1872, so Nimmo would probably be around 1870. Thanks for any help you can give me. Jo Mills (Lemons, Randleman, Hildebrand, Powell, Nimmo, Wilson, etc.)

Hi Listers, .(Lemons, Randleman, Hildebrand, Powell, Nimmo, Wilson, etc.) I have every one of these names in my database. I don't know if we are connected or not. Please get in touch Jo.
