Greetings List: After a conversation with Colleen today, I was looking thru the Buffalo Reflex and found this and thought I would share it. Blessings Sherry Carroll Qualls Dallas Co Surnames: Carroll, Cheek, Chapman, Rice Edington Pierce EARLY DALLAS COUNTY: A Historical Sketch Dallas County, Missouri, was created by an act of the Missouri legislature on January 29, 1841, and was named Niangua County, after the river which bisects it. Prior to that act, it was part of Polk County. Early settlers in the county included Mark Reynolds and the Randleman family. Reynolds first settled in Polk County in 1831, then in 1833 moved to Buffalo Head Prairie west of Buffalo. Martin Randleman is credited with paying the first taxes in what is now Dallas County in 1829-1832. Randleman later donated land for the county courthouse in Buffalo. In April, 1839, Joseph Miles, a bachelor tailor, built the first cabin in Buffalo on the north side of the square. The town was surveys the same year by Noah Bray, a Baptist preacher. By March, 1840, Peter Haymes reported Buffalo included a store, two groceries, a tailor shop, a blacksmith shop and a shoe shop. Under the act of 1841, Richard Sage and E.M. Campbell of Polk County and Hosea Mullins of Greene County were appointed to select the new county seat. Buffalo was selected, and a the first term of the county court was held in the log schoolhouse. Levi Beckner built the first courthouse in 1847. The name was changed to Dallas County on December 16, 1844, in honor of Vice President Dallas. Dallas County was divided during the Civil War, though dominated by Union sympathies. A home guard was formed, and was occupying the courthouse when it was burned by Confederates on October 18, 1863. Trepidations of guerilla bands made life treacherous during the war years. After the end of the Civil War, the arrival of a railroad, construction of a new county courthouse and a general atmosphere of optimism promised prosperity for new generations. (For additional reading on local history, the Dallas County Historical Society's Dallas County, Missouri, History: 1841-1971, is recommended. That 1974 publication, many family histories and other archival documents are available at the Dallas County Library.)

I do not live in the area so I do not have any personal knowledge to pass on. The cemetery book states "beginning at northwest corner, rows north and south". The graves I previously gave you are listed as "Row 8, 1-7". You should also look at "Row 9, 10-16" for more children of JH & MJ. I did look for John Hall Stinecipher in all three cemetery books I have. I did not find him. Rick Gregg

I am really having a time trying to get more info for your cousin. The Missouri Department of Transportation has not updated their Dallas County map since 1988. the Buffalo Reflex does not have a plat map with the relocated Highway 65. I have studied all the maps I have and am just not sure what to tell you. The new highway is only about a 1/4 mile east of the old highway but it is more limited access so I am not sure the gravel road off of 65 is even accessible from 65 anymore. Anyway, if you are coming south from Buffalo, go about 5 miles. The old 65 takes off at a "Y" to the west. Shortly after this fork in the road you would be looking for a gravel road going east; it should be labeled 65-222 according to the plat map. The plat map does not show the gavel road going south off of 65-222. It does show one coming north part way which is labeled 65-235 so it might run into 65-222. Coming north from Springfield, you might try taking Hwy 38 off of 65 toward March (east). At March, go north on F about 2 miles to gravel road 65-222 and follow it west between 2 and 3 miles to the gravel road south (which might be 65-235!!) Margaret

John & Rick, You were looking for Rial Barnett and wife Mary A. Austin. Mary was Rial's second wife. He first married Elizabeth Barham in 1845 at Greasy Creek, Dallas Co. They moved to Marion Co, Arkansas where she died in 1861. they had five children. Rial moved back to SW MO and in 1865 married Mary A. Austin at Greasy Creek. Rial and Mary had nine children. In the 1880 census, they are in Polk Co, not Dallas Co. If you need more on this line, let me know. Jerry

Page 265 is in Chapter 9, "Recreation, Lodges and Clubs" Section 2, Clubs. Starting on page 264 is an item "History of Dallas County as Delivered by Dr. Eleazer Hovey at the July 4, 1876 Centennial Celebration" Paragraph 1 states "The entire verbatim speech as carried on the complete front page of the Buffalo Reflex, Thursday, July 6, 1876 follows:" On page 265: "The struggle for an organized existence of the county of Dallas, are well remembered by the old citizens still living and they point to the Martin Randleman spring just east of town, as the place where a very exciting political campaign speaking took place between Robert Acock, of the central part of (then) Polk [County], which then extended from the now eastern line of Dallas, then the Western line of Pulaski to the county of Dade, and a Mr. Jones who lived in the western part of Polk, and who wished to divide the county near the center, making two counties of Polk, with a county seat near this place for the one, and in the western part of Polk for the other. Mr. Acock pledged the people of the eastern part that if he was elected he would see that they should have a county to their liking. He succeeded in his election and the following session, to wit, in 1840, he introduced a bill into the legislature for the organization of a county with its eastern line where it now stands, not extending over further west than the middle of Range 20. The euphonious and suggestive name "Wolf County" was proposed for the new territory, but through the intercession of Hon. John S. Phelps, then a member from Greene county, the western limits were in 1842 extended three miles west to the Range, including Range 20 west, where it has since remained, and its named changed to that of its principal stream, Niangua. On Dec. 10, 1844, it was changed to its Present name of Dallas. I found Robert E. Acock in the list of Missouri State Legislators <http://mosl.sos.state.mo.us/rec-man/arch.html> (Go to Historical Listing of Missouri's State and Federal Officials). He was elected to the Missouri House of Representatives from Polk County in 1838, 1840, 1852 and 1854. In 1842 he was elected to the Missouri Senate from the 18th Congressional District. John S. Phelps served in the Missouri House of Representatives from 1840 - 1842 and in the U. S. House of Representatives from 1844 - 1860.
