There is a paper in Kennett, Mo. who may have and obit for it is close to Clarkton. Clarkton has no paper that I know of. The paper in Kennett is the Daily Dunklin Democrat. It is on line. Go to the Dunklin Co. website and click on it.

If you know what year and what county he was born in in Tennessee, they list the known Indians & claim to be Indians sometimes at the end of the census.

Leander "Lee" Ambrose Daniel McFarland McElyea married Wilburn "Willie" Tennessee Booth in Dunklin Co MO on 17 Mar 1878. Willie, daughter of Alvis B and Lucy N Booth, was born 24 Sep 1855 TN and died 30 Apr 1946. For Willie to be full-blooded American Indian, both Alvis and Lucy would have to be full-blooded. If either Alvis or Lucy is full-blooded, then Willie would be half-blooded, making her children quarter-blooded. Lee and Willie had 9 (not 7) children as follows - 1) Lula E - b 8 Feb 1879; d 19 Feb 1916; never married 2) Lucy Van Buren - b 30 Apr 1880; d 5 Jun 1977; married James Louis Oxley (8 children) 3) Arthur Effie - b 28 Oct 1881; d 6 Oct 1972; married Ella Jane Dalton (5 children) 4) Ora Pearl - b 13 Aug 1884; d 12 Mar 1946; married John Henry Comer (7 children) 5) Archie B - 21 Aug 1886; d 1 May 1961; married Anna Hardy (1 child); Bessie Amanda Craig (1 child); Florida Jackson (2 children) 6) Infant - d 24 Sep 1889 (probably a stillborn or died shortly after birth) 7) Bernice W - b 17 Oct 1890; d 12 Mar 1979; married Nellie Lowry (supposedly no children) 8) Barney Ezra - b 17 Dec 1895 (birth year has been found as 1893, 1895 and 1896 but am using 1900 and 1910 census); d 19 Feb 1971; married Jennie L Ward (1 child) 9) Ermina Amy - b 14 Jul 1898; d 14 Mar 1917; never married Now as for Willie being Indian - In the Campbell Area History book, there are two articles on the McElyea family. One is on the parents of Lee McElyea and their descendants. The other is about Arthur and Ella McElyea and their descendants. Both were written by Althea McElyea Malin. When mentioning Willie Booth McElyea there is no mention of Native American Indian ancestry and I'm sure that if there were any Althea would have mentioned it. This may not be any consolation but I am suppose to have Native American Indian ancestry throught my father's mother's family. One thing that makes this strange is that my grandmother and her siblings as well as their parents were all light skinned individuals. My father has a dark complexion that in the summer when out in the sun for a long time will turn so dark that you wouldn't know he's caucasian. The dark complexion is from his father's family. Most of us have been raised with the premise that Native American Indians have a dark complexion and high cheek bones. I recently learned that this is a fallacy. You don't have to have a dark complexion to be of Native American Indian ancestry (full or partial). However don't let this stop you from trying to learn the truth about your own ancestors. If you want further information on the McElyea family, contact me directly. I like to know which of Ora and John's children you belong. I have their names, but nothing on their marriages and descendants. My husband is a McElyea descendant from another branch.

I don't know how many brothers & sisters Samuel had, but he had at least one brother named Louis, which my grandfather William Louis LaFerney (who was born in 1918) was named after. William "Bill" LaFerney was one of 11 children. Two died during the flu epidemic in the 1910-1920's. Most of the rest ended up in Michigan, with a few staying in Missouri. All of these children are now deceased, but my father, Jerry LaFerney, knows the history pretty well.
