Hello Alan, The cemeteries that are included in the St. John's Township Cemetery Book are all listed at the county genealogy website <http://www.rootsweb.com/~mofrankl/index.html> then click on cemeteries then scroll down to Franklin County Cemeteries by Township and click on St. John's. The "residents" are not listed on the website, just the names of the cemeteries. You can either purchase the book from Four Rivers (since you are in CA and cannot go to the libraries or museums in Franklin County) or I will do a lookup for you if it is only a few names. By the way, the Boles Township Cemetery Book is now available from Four Rivers. This completes all of the townships in the county. For more information, click on the link above then click on "Hist Societies" and go to Four Rivers Genealogy Society then scroll down to their books listings. This has been a tremendous task for this dedicated group and they deserve our applause for their effort.

Looking for information on Ernst Koch and family from the Labbadie, MO. area in the 1850-1900. Anyone, have any information??? Thanks, Clarice

I am looking for info on the family of James L Campbell. I only know of one daughter, Nancy Campbell who married David Bell Sept 26, 1839 in Franklin Co MO. I would like to know name of wife and any other children he might have had. PWeber3402@aol.com

Traci, Marsha here again. I just went back to your email and clicked on the links again and they came up just fine. Sorry. I still need to know if wills mentioning slaves are welcome information, though. Marsha McGee Bowen

Hi Traci, Often times when I find a will of a relative, (I am white), there is a list of slaves and their distribution to wives, dau's and sons. Of course, there are no last names for them. I was told long ago that many took the last name of their owner. I can't imagine they would want to if their owner was not a decent "master". Nevertheless, I am anxious to know if that pans out to be true for the majority of ex-slaves? I also am anxious to help out any African American tracing their roots. The only way I feel I can encompass my research and also help out on the research for people whose ancestors were slaves, is to post the info from a will that mentions the slaves names. Is that helpful at all? Unless they took the name of their owner, it may be info too vague to be of assistance, but I am looking to you to let me know. I truly feel that any of us with ancestors that held slaves would be more than happy to help out. A will is documented evidence, of course, but could it help an African American search? I had communication with you quite a while back regarding this MOFRANKL board and your efforts to get info on African Americans. I am so impressed with the sites you have in your last email to the board with all the sites. But when I clicked on them, they did not come up. Maybe a problem on my end. I was trying to see if the "Will" site was for only African American wills or any will with info regarding slaves held by white. Please let me know. Bye for now, Traci Marsha McGee Bowen

Lucille Thanks for the will.. Please ... would you mind posting it to the site under WILLS. I am getting a million emails today in response to my postings.. and I've got to run around with my 3 little ones. If you could copy and paste it.. and include your email in the form supplied..then those with questions can get back to you? thanks very very much for your help and assistance. http://www.usgennet.org/usa/mo/topic/afro-amer/indexusg.html Traci Wilson-Kleekamp

Sorry for any trouble you had accessing the page with the wills etc.: http://www.usgennet.org/usa/mo/topic/afro-amer/indexusg.html Start there.. .and scroll down. The wills posted are from white slaveowning families that note the distribution, sale, gift, mortgage or auction of a slave upon their death. The whole purpose of posting the wills is that it may help someone who has a general idea of who owned their family. And if you have some names in general that you can follow.. you may find them in these wills and probate records. The whole deal about last names is a gamble. The first time African Americans were enumerated was in 1870.. and many are still living with or near their former owners... and on that particular census -- they may be enumerated with the surname of their former owners. However, by 1880 -- it's a whole new ballgame... and unless you know of some oral history about your particular family about your last name -- you have to follow the pattern of families who owned your ancestors to figure it out. Wills and probate or circuit records can tell an entire story of transactions about slaves in the family. Sometimes there are letters -- like the ones I recently obtained on the TUTT family's slaves that give some insight as to WHO the slaves in the family were. But it is very small. You don't get any data on the black people really .. other than if they were good or bad slaves.. or who they should be sold or rented to etc. But these letters are important.. because there are mentions of children and other family ties that could lead to another state where they could have been sent, sold or rented.... I'll give you an example of how confusing the surname deal is: My great great grandmother Mary Ann was owned by Jacob Chism in Morgan Co., MO. http://www.missouri-slave-data.org/jchism.jpg When he died -- his will noted that Mary Ann should be given to his daughter Elizabeth Chism who married Lot Howard. In 1865 Mary Ann Howard married Samuel McClanahan, and on the 1870 census of Morgan Co., she is listed with the surname of ROSS living next door to a Black CHISM family. Mary Ann and her son Marion were enumerated with the surname of ROSS in 1870 -- Marion was 6 years old.. and the head of the household was also named MARION with the surname of ROSS.. but in 1880 my Marion took the surname of WILSON and is no longer with his mother & siblings and Marion Ross is enumerated with a new family altogether. Turns out through a little research I figured out that Mary Ann took the surname of Elizabeth Chism's husband Lot Howard. When Jacob Chism's oldest daughter Margaret Chism Letchworth's husband died -- Jacob was charged with renting out his son in law's slaves. One was named Samuel McClanahan. Elizabeth's youngest sister married a McClanahan and the ROSS family intermarried into the CHISM clan. What am I saying is that I could see that these folks were all part of the same circle with the WHITE family.. meaning the surnames names had a familiar or similar pattern. Marion Wilson's death certificate noted that his mother was named Mary Ann Howard and that he was born in Morgan Co... and he died in Cooper. His father was supposedly named William Wilson. In reviewing the plat map of owners of Morgan CO -- I saw that a WILSON farm was not far from the HOWARD farm. Robert A. Wilson in fact. It is likely that Marion's father lived on that WILSON farm... although I have no way of knowing just why the WILSON name was chosen. In my research I learned that Morgan was formed from Cooper Co... so I was looking in right place. Marion Wilson in 1880 was working as a servant for Edwin Patterson who ran Nathaniel Leonard's shorhorn cattle farm in Bunceton. Supposedly Marion had a sister was a slave on Ravenswood and her name was Millie Wilson... Last year while visiting in Bunceton I met Black woman named Ada Simms who works for cemetery records historian Helen Mitzel a zillion questions and I mean a zillion questions. She remembers several people in my family and knew Marion Wilson. She said that Millie Wilson was her half auntie? How's that for confusing. I asked her about my last name and she said: "Girl, Wilson is not your last name -- they just took that name." I can not tell you how unhappy and confused that I was. The deal is that most black marriages and relationships were not recognized so through oral history some people were told who was the child of who.. and who took whose name etc. This part of black research is also troubling because there are many secrets about whose child is whose. There is the issue of biracial folks.. who the white folks don't want to accept and folks who have children by folks that they want to deny for a plethora of reasons... most likely for emotional reasons that could go on and on. See? It's a circus trying to figure it all out. Well, I'll take the time to explain more later. traci wilson-kleekamp

I hope all of you looking in Missouri are utilizing other resources than what you find on the Internet. I know for a fact that in the LDS Microfilm of Marriages in both Franklin County and Washington County -- at the end of each roll there are filmed records of black marriages in these counties. But there is more than just marriages! After the civil war, blacks were not only allowed to marry in the same civil procedure that whites had always been able to do, but they also could go to the courthouse and register a marriage that had existed from earlier days. In many cases, the husband and wife also registered their children, noting names and birthdates, and sometimes names of their owners, as well as other interesting historic tidbits. Not every registered marriage is so complete, but enough of them are that black researchers should certainly check. I am concerned that many researchers who have come to genealogy via the Internet are unaware of the marvelous resources outside the Internet, necessitating getting out from behind the computer and doing some foot and legwork. These LDS microfilms are available through any Family History Center. They must ordered down from Salt Lake City for a small cost and used in the History Centers themselves on the microfilm readers. The films will stay in the center for several weeks so you have time to avail yourself of looking at them. If you are unfamiliar with how to do this, there are people available at the centers who will help you. I do not know how many of the Missouri Counties have these records available. I stumbled upon them by accident in Franklin County, and then because I also was researching in Washington County, I discovered them there also. Good luck, and happy hunting. Bobby in California

I'd just like to add that in addition to the Family History Centers, many local libraries also have Special Collections, AND there are local genealogy societies, AND if you subscribe to the genealogy society in the area(county, state) of your special interest, many of them usually produce newletters/magazines that are sent out several times a year. I found several ancestors through these useful tools and eagerly await each new one I receive. Your participation as a subscriber (to as many as you can afford) not only affords you these magazines, but helps support and keep the organizations viable. Subscriptions are not expensive either, and it's a lot cheaper than going there in person! (Going/visiting an area in person is a whole other topic.)

Hey Listers The real hard work in tracing African American ancestors comes from reading the microfilm and transcribing a variety of documents. My website has a variety of documents available because of the volunteer efforts of other researchers. Washington and Franklin county black marriages and several others are available via the links below. http://www.missouri-slave-data.org/wasmarriage2.html http://www.missouri-slave-data.org/franklincomar.htm For other items: http://www.missouri-slave-data.org/Document.html I have two websites: http://www.missouri-slave-data.org/ The mirror site at: http://www.usgennet.org/usa/mo/topic/afro-amer/indexusg.html Over the past 2 years I have continued to ask other researchers to submit their slave related data that they come across. If you find a will, probate record, letter or final settlement listing or even bible records that mentions slaves; you can post this information at: You can view QUERIES here: http://www.usgennet.org/usa/mo/topic/afro-amer/webbbs/queries/index.cgi?index post and view WILLS: http://www.usgennet.org/usa/mo/topic/afro-amer/webbbs/wills/index.cgi post and view OBITUARIES http://www.usgennet.org/usa/mo/topic/afro-amer/webbbs/obits/index.cgi post and view PROBATE RECORDS -- I have several records of the WALKER family -- but have not had the time to transcribe... I will work on getting this up one by one. http://www.usgennet.org/usa/mo/topic/afro-amer/webbbs/probate/index.cgi view and post LAND RECORDS: http://www.usgennet.org/usa/mo/topic/afro-amer/webbbs/land/index.cgi view and post TAX RECORDS: http://www.usgennet.org/usa/mo/topic/afro-amer/webbbs/tax/index.cgi view and post PRIVATE FAMILY RECORDS http://www.usgennet.org/usa/mo/topic/afro-amer/webbbs/private/index.cgi There is also a page for other slave schedules, marriage records etc. http://www.usgennet.org/usa/mo/topic/afro-amer/slaveinfo.html http://www.missouri-slave-data.org/slaveinfo.html Since Missouri was settled from families from Louisiana, Kentucky and Virginia.. you may have slave data that connects to the Missouri families...you are welcome to post that data here: please don't forget to NOTE the date, page number, volume etc., of where you found the information. If you want to scan a document and email it to me.. .I will put it online as soon as I can. This page has alot of goodies that I have scanned http://www.missouri-slave-data.org/Document.html You can ALSO submit non-Missouri related slave data to slavedata@afrigeneas.com I also have a group of volunteers transcribing the Missouri slave ledger of Slave Trader John R. White -- if you are interested in volunteering let me know. If you have resources or materials to do look ups for others... that is also of interest. Histories of the various counties can be very helpful for African American researchers who are trying to get background historical and genealogical information on the slave owning families. Also.. there is a very large database detailing the Frontier Families of Missouri: http://www.missouri-slave-data.org/upperla/index.html http://www.usgennet.org/usa/mo/topic/afro-amer/upperla/index.html My email box crashed yesterday -- so if you have sent me slave related data in the past couple of months... most of it was wiped out. If you want to resend it -- or post it to the links noted above -- that would be great. I am able to go back and VIEW my old email -- but it will take some time to retrieve and cut and paste it. AND if you have an new email address or snail mail address -- please let me know. Thanks in advance to EVERYONE who has been supporting and assisting others seeking enslaved ancestors from Missouri. And yes.. I owe everyone an updated report on My last two trips to MO.. which were incredible... lots of information to share and not enough time to do it ALL. My sites also need some updating.. feel free to drop me a line if you find a broken link etc., if you have some data that you've transcribed in MS WORD.. it can be put into html and put online almost instantly!!! With a big heart! Traci Wilson-Kleekamp African Americans in Missouri

I received this message from a black researcher - it made me stop and think, and I hope it does the same for you. We need to pay more attention to how we communicate with others in the area of genealogical research. <=><=><=> My family history has deep roots in Missouri, and in doing my family research, I have reason to believe that my family did not descend from slaves. Here is the problem, not a lot is being done in the area of African American research on Missouri sites. (If I am mistaken, please let me know where to get information.) I noticed that Boone County has designated an African American researcher to enhance their website, and I was wonder why each county does not do the same. I realize that the first obstacle will be formal documentation. You and I both know that there simply is not a whole lot of formal documentation out there. But may I suggest that informal documentation (black churches, organizations, etc.) is better than no documentation at all. I am sure I speak for hundreds of black researchers when I say this. The elderly blacks in these various counties are also a possible wealth of information. I was intrigued to read the slave narratives for Missouri (hosted by ancestry.com) and learn, that project was done in the 1930s as a way of documenting Missouri's history in relation to slavery. Surely, if someone had the foresight over 70 years ago to know what a contribution to Missouri history that would be, I don't see why researchers are not working on this today. I would also like for you to get the word out to your white researchers that it is highly unprofessional and inappropriate to tell a black researcher that their search is "in vain" because there is no documentation on blacks during the 1800-1900 time period. Myself and several others on the Franklin County discussion list are researching our possible white relations and I was emailed that statement by someone I sent a query to. Another researcher advised that "white's did not document their indiscretions". I find that highly offensive as well. We are all aware that slavery resulted in such relationships and I don't particularly consider my family to be an embarrassment to anyone. I am proud to be from Missouri, and have greatly enjoyed the journey of learning the state's rich history. However, I would hope that someday this history of BOTH sides of that history can be enjoyed by all. I thank you for your time.

My daughter and I were in Franklin County im April 2001 I think it was, and we got this info at court house from the record books and also microfilm. We did not, of course, get all of them but did get ones that we wanted and some that may be of help to others. I have this also in a file columned file in Microsoft works if you can reaad it. Made it into this txt file so could e-mail it to txt only persons but not as easy to read. Some of them I made copies, some we just got the bride and groom and the book numbers and page as ran out of time. These are from ear;lly 1800..forget how early..at least 1830 Martin V.

Dear fellow list members,I can't diclose my source.Sorry.But if you would like to try a lookup I will do that for you.Remember that the marriages are from helter skelter newspaper clippings and that not everyone would be in it.I only posted Franklin Co. marriages that I could see as Franklin Co.Most are from Howell and St. Louis.These are also early marriages most in the 1840's.If someone could give me a list of Franklin Co towns I may have a few More.

I also would like to Know.. where you found info..apparently the Newspaper Republican covered the early years Franklin co Mo.
