Surnames: Collier, Higbee, Criswell, Byram Classification: Query I noticed a posting from RALLS3@peoplepc.com regarding the line of WILLIAM AND SUSAN HIGBEE COLLIER. My line follows that of their daughter, REBECCA FRANCES COLLIER (an older sister of Luther), b. l Mar1819 Nicholasville, KY; married DAVID B. LOWERN about 1835. Their daughter, LUCY ANN LOWERN b. ca 1836, married SAMUEL CRISWELL. Their two children were MARCUS (MARQUIS) CRISWELL and WILLIAM CRISWELL. MARCUS (Marquis) CRISWELL married ALICE CAROLINE BYRAM. These were my greatgrandparents who lived most of their lives in Grundy County, Trenton, MO. ALICE CAROLINE BYRAM CRISWELL'S father, LEWIS BYRAM, fought as a Confederate soldier in the Civil War. His enlistment records show him being born in KY ca. 1823. I have no ancestral records on him. I would so like to have more data/documentation on the family. The COLLIER information I have came to my grandmother through a letter sent by L.M. Crook, Trenton, MO on 16 Jan. 1961 addressed to Mary Bell Criswell 914 Hallibutron, Trenton, MO. The LEWIS BYRAM information came from MO State Archives. Can't wait to hear from you! Lela Aydelott in Oregon
