R. N. Belshe, p. 535 I have a HARVEY (or Harry or Henry) BELCHER who married SUSAN WILLIAMS 13 Sep 1841 IN Grundy Co., MO. In Washington Twp., Mercer Co., MO., in 1848 HARVEY BELCHER was an official election judge: In "Roger's History of Mercer County, 1911" - Chapter VII: Political, on page 175 it states: "In its early history Mercer county was rather evenly divided between the Whigs and Democrats. The people of this section were allowed to vote as a territory attached to Grundy county in the campaign of 1844, one year before the organization of Mercer county. The result of that election is lost of record. In 1848 the first regularly conducted presidential election was held. Taylor, the Whig candidate, received 144 votes and Cass, Democrat, received 183. The judges of election for the county were . . .Washington, Thos. Everett, Wm. Thomas and Harvey Belcher. . . " Harvey Belcher is my 3rd Great grandfather. Two of his daughters are each one of my great great grandmothers: Missouri Ann Elizabeth Belcher and Martha Jane Belcher. Martha Jane's surname was written on pension form as Belshe. The Harvey Belcher family with 7 children was found in the 1850 Census District 56, Mercer Co., MO. living with Susan William's parents and younger siblings. I do not know who Harvey's parents or siblings are or where he was born for sure. Harvey was born in 1820. The location could have been KY or VA - conflicting info from the two daughters was recorded in later censuses. I have not been able YET to locate him and his family in the 1860 Census. I'd like to know when and where he died, who his parents are and who are his siblings. There are several of us Belcher, Harrington and Stepp cousins wondering the same thing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanx so much. Phyl
