I'm making progress in my quest...and you are a great help! On Page 407 of the Dallas County MO History there is mention of a N.J. Blackshear who was 30 who joined Company I, 16th Missouri Cavalry in September 1863. Could you do a census lookup on him please! I think he may be related to my great-great grandma! Thanks! Brenda Hello Brenda - There are no BLACKSHEARs listed in the 1850, 1870 or 1880 Dallas Co., MO, federal censuses.
