Can you tell me which Stradfords?? I know ALL these people are connected to me, but I cannot PROVE anything...I have been at the Missouri Archives for days on end and never found a TRUE connection....My names are Ellis and Owens and Stradford and Crawford...but, all are connected to Jett, Carroll, Crider, Branson, Tackett, and Rattles....just no proof..Please, help me connect!! Here is my connection..... My mother was Dorothea Crawford Halfaker...her father was Charles Crawford born in Gasconade Co. to Margaret Ellis and Benjamin Crawford. Margaret's parents were Jacob David Ellis and Jane Owens....Jane died when Margaret was very small and I have NO proof about who Jane's parents were.....J.D. Ellis' mother was Mary Jane Stradford...this I am SURE of and she married John Ellis.....her daughter's married into the Tackett, Rattles and Crider families.....Anyone know this family?? I can tell you many are buried at Nubbin Ridge and they were DIRT poor....Thanks for ANY and all leads....Heidi Heidi ----- Original Message ----- From: <LChamb7502@aol.com> To: <MOGASCON-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, April 24, 2002 9:39 PM Subject: Re: [MOGASCON] Re: 1870 Gasconade Co Mo Look-up > Looking for Carroll, Stradford, Reed, Duncan, Thank you > > > ==== MOGASCON Mailing List ==== > Want to be a Rootsweb sponsor?
