Baker and Lina Sullivan Baker who were married in Douglas County, MO on 26 Mar 1911? Lina appears possibly to be the sister of my grandmother and the daughter of William Isaac Sullivan and Margaret Adeline/Adeline Margaret Dyer Sullivan. I never heard my grandmother mention this sister, but I recently found her mentioned as a defendant in a circuit court case in Douglas County dated 7 Feb 1921. The other defendants named lived in other states, so possibly Lina Sullivan Baker did also. Any help is greatly appreciated. Helen Whannel >> Helen, I just noticed that you were seeking Sullivan with Baker as well. Today I made a startling discovery for me---I found the 1860 Slave Schedule and realized that the locations were Choctaw, Creek and Cherokee Nations at least that were located in counties to the west of present day AR and in lands which would become known as Indian Territory then later to become OK. You might want to check there for your specific Sullivan ancestor's given and surname and see what come up for them. Much success in your search. Beth Peck Cooper

Does anyone know where the Dobbs Cemetery in Douglas Co., MO is? It is suppose to be located on the old Trail and Miller Homeplaces and contains members of the Trail family. William Trail was married to Amanda Upchurch. Someone researching the Upchurch/Trail families were wondering what Trail family members are buried there. Thanks, Karen Hoagland

Can anyone help me find what became of E. A. Baker and Lina Sullivan Baker who were married in Douglas County, MO on 26 Mar 1911? Lina appears possibly to be the sister of my grandmother and the daughter of William Isaac Sullivan and Margaret Adeline/Adeline Margaret Dyer Sullivan. I never heard my grandmother mention this sister, but I recently found her mentioned as a defendant in a circuit court case in Douglas County dated 7 Feb 1921.

[email protected] Rick, Do you happen to know if these Ellis were in any way connected to Ellis in Izard Co., AR? I do not know the ins and outs of this family but I know that one of my grandmother, Alba Edison McNeill Peck's Aunt was married to an Ellis man. I do not have details but the children of that couple I remember being a Benny Ellis of near Pineville, Izard Co., AR. I am sure he has long ago died but I wonder if he may not have been connected to your lines? My families's connection would have been through the McNeill side and what I remember about this was utter confusion when I talked to my grandmother McNeill/Peck because the terms she used and the way she expected me to know everyone as well as she did really hurt me figuring what was going on.What I do not remember off the top of my head is whether the Ellis was married to a McNeill or whether it was to a Cantrell (which was the wife's maiden name in the McNeill bunch!) Please get back to me if you think there is some connection!!! Beth Peck Cooper

Kathy and Donna, I have to ask you in any of these Douglas or Ozark Co., MO Hicks do you have one Lloyd Hicks who may have married to Grace d/o Laura Moore and ? Barnes The reason that I am asking is two fold or more I have relatives from different sides related to pockets of these families. I believe that my Maxey relatives married into the Hicks family, these Maxey cousins are tied to the Alexander side of my g gm's family. Laura Moore above was sister to my g gm Minnie Catherine Moore, these two among others were sibling with parents Permelia and William E. Moore. Please let me know if you should have information an a Lloyd Hicks who may have removed from Douglas or Howell/Oregon Co., MO and moved to the Tulsa OK area. Thanks for your time in reading this.
