Hi, I'm new here, and I guess my timing is good because I would LOVE to see photos of the Daviess Co. area. I've never been - my grandparents left Missouri for California in the 1920's and that's where the family stayed. I'm from the Osborn family. My gr-gr-grandfather, Robert Sanford Osborn, married Maria Catherine Osborn in Daviess Co in 1850. Their children were: Mary Eliza, Parmelia E., Samuel, Richard Johnson, Ruth Ann, and Stella Lee. After Maria died, Robert married Nancy Agnes Randolph Reid, and they had three children: Dudley Clagett, Charles Ivon, and Clyde Randolph.

Lanita, I visited Daviess Co. in 1985. Thoughtlessly, I did not take photos of anything other than headstones. While in Galatin we ate at a Teahouse that had been there a very long time. I cannot remember its name; however the story we were told is that when times got bad, the lady of the house would begin cooking lunch. While she was cooking, her husband would go to the train station and bring customers home with him. The food was delicious, vegetables were served home-style in bowls on the table. I hope it is still in business. I would love to see recent and past photos of businesses and homes in Daviess Co. along with notations of their location. It would be wonderful to see photos (old or new) of old homes with the names of the people who owned them. Thank you for the idea. Researching: Puckett, Roach, Brown, and Barnes, among others.

I'm curious as to how many people on this list have never been to Daviess County, and who would be interested in seeing area photos on the website? I am researching several areas of other parts of the country and would like to see what the area looks like since I probably will never be able to visit the area.. am I the only one? If you would like to see local areas, please answer on the list and tell us what pictures [other than cemetery stones and ancestral faces] would thrill you to see on line. Lanita in Daviess Co.

Lunita, Good Morning, John McCrary and Lucinda Splawn are the grandparents of John William and Michael O. McCrary Their parents were William McCrary and Elizabeth E. Richardson. John William was born in 1869 in Daviess Co. That is all I know about him. Michael O. was born in Jul 1871 in Daviess Co. He married Della Borden on 14 Oct 1893 in Caldwell Co. They had a daughter named Ida who was born in Apr 1894 in Daviess Co. I know this isn't much information about John William and Michael O, but it is all I can tell you at this time. I think you can now place them into the McCrary family now tho. Sorry I can't help you more. Lu --- Lanita Sconce Smith <ozarkn@grm.net> wrote: > Thanks Lu!

Thanks Lu! What great documentation!! Question: Who were John and Michael McCRARY who are with their grandparents in 1880 Daviess Co., MO Census? Lanita

I seem to have two Joseph O. Whitts both married to a Margaret. I have the Joseph Owen and Margaret A. that Jerry and Lanita wrote about, then this from the 1900 census; 1900 Federal Census, Gallatin City, Union Township, Daviess County, Missouri, 15 June, page 16B; 65 359 369 Whitt Joseph O Head W M Jany 1831 69 M 30 Kentucky Kentucky Kentucky Farmer 4 yes yes yes R F -------- Margaret A? Wife W F Mch 1854 46 M 30 6 5 Missouri Kentucky Kentucky --------- Harry J Son W M Jany 1881 19 S Missouri Kentucky Missouri Farm laborer 3 yes yes yes The ages and length of marriage are so far off I don't see how it could be the same people, although I don't have a census for 1900 for Joseph Owen Whitt and Margaret Ross. This is strange. I wonder if the census taker was on a real bender that day? I notice your info, Jerry, says Margaret was born in Gallatin and the 1870 census shows Missouri but her death certificate says Kentucky. Any ideas on that? The 1880 census shows Joseph married to an Emma which must also be Margaret, based on the 1910 census (keep reading). Her age is right compared to the 1870, and the 1910 census shows Joseph and Margaret both married twice and both for 43 years so one would assume that was to each other and that matches the 1866 date for their marriage in Daviess Co. So, were they each married to someone else between 1860 and 1866, and to whom? See next paragraph for probable child of Joseph born in 1870 . . . In 1910 it shows Margaret has had 6 children, 5 living. I only have three children for her and Joseph; Thomas Jefferson, William Seymor, and Martha J. There's a Mary age 8 in 1870. She would have been born before their marriage and Joseph would have been age 19, assuming she's a daughter and not some other relative. Are we having fun yet?
