I know that my great great Grandfather Jack Callahan is buried in Dent county but i cant find his records. His wifes name was Mary J Mcdonnell. She is buried in washington county at the shirley union cemetary. There kids names are Orville, Oscar & Ozzie (they were twin boys) Ozzie is my great grandpa, Ollie (female). Those are the only kids that i know of. I am not for sure what Jack's mother and fathers names are. I do know that most of this line is buried in Washington county in shirley union and grassy hollow cemetary. If anyone has any information i would really appreciate it if you would get ahold of me at my email address. Thank You.

When was Jack in Dent county? Dent county formed in 1851 from Crawford & Shannon counties. Crawford formed in 1829 from Gasconade Gasconade formed in 1820 from Franklin. Gasconade also gave up 36 sq miles to Crawford in 1869.. so from 1829-1869 Gasconade & Crawford and iffy boundaries. Franklin formed in 1818 from St. Louis, but boundaries were not firm until 1845. Shannon county formed in 1841 from Ripley & Washington counties Ripley county formed in 1833 from Wayne county. Washington formed in 1813 from Ste. Genevieve county. Wayne formed in 1818 from Cape Girardeau county. Also, when checking for Jack... don't overlook John or Jonathan. Jack is a common nickname for John. You information is probably out there ... you are just going to have to look for it. The county information above is from Handy Book for Genealogist's, Eighth edition. It's an older edition.. but I love it!
