Can someone post the list of publications for the Henry County Genealogical Society? Alan Rossing, Monterey, CA

Hi Everyone, Thought you might have an interest in this information. It is being posted to MOHENRY for Traci the author. Several Missouri County Coordinators & other have responded to the discussion about African American research -- asking what kinds of information to look for. In particular -- if there is any information about the "slave community" or the ante-bellum community for any Missouri county.. this is very important to researchers. This may give them some clues as to the backdrop of the community, slave owners and lifestyle of that era and area! Another very cool search engine -- allows you to research collections at university libraries. For example I discovered that Duke University had 11 boxes of records on the TUTT family that migrated from VA to Missouri.. and settled in Callaway County first... not Cooper County as I first thought! http://www.loc.gov/coll/nucmc/nucmc.html The most important resource an African American Researcher needs is slave schedules for the county they are researching. If anyone has transcribed slave schedules, or would like to...please let me know. There are some online... but many more are needed. Free People of Color had to be registered.. you would only find these records at the courthouse or on microfilm somewhere. Here's a link to my website for Slave Schedules and other resources: http://www.usgennet.org/usa/mo/topic/afro-amer/slaveinfo.html To share this kind of information, white researchers must become somewhat sensitized to the plight and difficulty of those researching enslaved ancestors. For the most part, besides being counted as chattel on tax, land deed and slave schedules, African Americans were not counted as people until the 1870 census. Other records of interest would be church records, which notes people of color being allowed or dispelled from the church etc., but they are not always given a surname. Sometimes they are noted by their first name and "as belonging to "X" slaveowner." Bottom line is that African American researchers are very dependent upon getting information from the slaveowning family's documentation. On my site I have some resources for Marriage, census and cemetery data: http://www.usgennet.org/usa/mo/topic/afro-amer/Document.html Here's an example of what Church Records can show: http://www.missouri-slave-data.org/mtnebo.html And wills... this is where I found my great great grandfather's mother...Mary Ann... mentioned is her mother and siblings I believe http://www.missouri-slave-data.org/jchism.jpg Public Auction notices for slaves; can be found in probate records: http://www.missouri-slave-data.org/mwalkerslaves.jpg Many people in conducting research in their families run across slave related information. It is both painful, embarrassing and confusing all at once. It is my hope that when anyone runs across Missouri slave-related data that they would post it to my website at: http://www.usgennet.org/usa/mo/topic/afro-amer/indexusg.html If you scroll down to the middle there a links for just about everything. You could also help others by posting your slave related data on the Missouri list that you subscribe to... and you can always forward it to me. Just know that I get many, many emails -- so it is much easier to post the information to the link noted above. If want to mail, fax or email me scanned documents -- I'm game for that too. Since Missouri was settled by Virginia, Kentucky and Louisiana people -- [Tennessee too] if you have a Missouri family with ties to those state [or any other state -- where you can establish the genealogical ties] this is particularly helpful for the African American researcher who must first know EVERYTHING they can about the white slave owning family. Why? Because we must trace slave ownership through marriages, death, relocation, rentals, property purchases, farm ledgers, lawsuits, and family letters, bibles etc., where slaves could be mentioned as a record of ownership. It's pretty crazy. I've included some links below that many of you may already know about.. but to give you an idea of what African American researchers need. Missouri State Archives http://mosl.sos.state.mo.us/rec-man/arch.html Roll-by-roll listing County Record on microfilm by county http://mosl.sos.state.mo.us/rec-man/archives/resources/county/croll.html Description of Records on Film http://mosl.sos.state.mo.us/rec-man/archives/resources/county/croll2.html#Pr obate For African American Researchers; the items below are of interest. If your family owned slaves; records purchase, sale, rent, mortgage, gift, lawsuits etc., could be found under the various listings related to probate noted in the link above. Of particular interests are books and other resources which transcribe or are abstracts of Wills, Administrations and Probate. If anyone has a book with this type of information, I would like to purchase or borrow it ASAP. Also of interest in looking for enslaved ancestors are Black Cemeteries Black Marriages Here are a couple of examples: FRANKLIN COUNTY BLACK MARRIAGES http://www.missouri-slave-data.org/franklincomar.htm WASHINGTON COUNTY BLACK MARRIAGES http://www.missouri-slave-data.org/wasmarriage2.html Land Deed Records Final Settlement and Inventory Records -- this shows the final disposition of the estate including who slaves in the family were sold and given to and for how much. Land Deed records are equally important. Tax records will note how many slaves person owned. I hope this helps clarify just a little bit of what it takes to research enslaved peoples. For those of your managing Missouri county sites; I think the information above is a good outline of materials to try and collect. I also have a link for "look-up" volunteers. Please copy me on correspondence to "look-up" volunteers -- because I may also have another researcher to connect you with.

I found the following info on Family Tree Maker's Family Archives Marriage Index: Missouri, 1851-1900 CD # 234: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The gender of Lafayette Troth is male. Spouse: Elizabeth Roberson Marriage Date: Aug 23, 1877 County: Scotland This record can be found at the County Court Records, Film # 1014530 - 1014532. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'm looking for any info on this couple. Elizabeth is my great aunt. I knew that she had married a Troth before marrying James Wesley Hayward. However, I didn't have any specific info. Would enjoy talking to any Troth descendants!

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Eberting, Ho(h)bein, Boettcher, Roskam, Soeder, Eulert Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/JKB.2ACE/76 Message Board Post: Johann Georg (John George) Eberting, & Catherine Ho(h)bein and their five children, Wilhelm (William), Heinrich (Henry), Adame (Adam), Catherine Elisabeth, and Martin Thomas came from Germany to the United States aboard the ship Atlantic from the port of Bremen and arrived in New York on June 16, 1865. Apparently, they had at least one more child, Carrie Bell, upon arrival in Chicago, Cook Co., IL and before they went to Clinton, Henry Co., MO. Many of this Eberting family are interred at Englewood Cemetery, Clinton, Henry Co., MO and other surrounding cemeteries in Henry Co., MO. On board that same ship was Catherine Eulert Hobein, Catherine's mother, who remained in Chicago until her death in 1869. Catherine's mother is buried in the Hobein family burial plot at Rosehill Cemetery in Chicago. Catherine's younger brother Heinrich (Henry) Hobein was born in 1835 and arrived Chicago, Cook Co., IL of the USA in 1858 preceeding his sister Catherine. Johann Georg (John George) Eberting born September 3, 1818, Germany, was married April 11, 1858 to Catherine Ho(h)bein. A GENEALOGICAL HISTORY OF THE EBERTING FAMILY compiled by Della Maye Fowler states she received Marriage and Death certificates from the Archives in Hamburg, Germany for Johann Jost born June 24, 1810, was married to Anne Helene Roskam and died April 24, 1874. This was evidently John's older brother. His parents are below. In addition, there is a Eberting family listed in the 1870 Chicago census 8th ward. This is the family of Christoph and Gertrud Eberting. He looks about the right age for Christoph to be a brother to Johann Georg (John George), but of course, that is only conjecture. Johann Georg (John George) Eberting was the son of a linen weaver, Christoph Eberting & Eva Elisabeth Soeder. Catherine Ho(h)bein born February 15, 1828, Werkel, Kreis Fritzlar, Hessen-Kassel, Germany, baptised February 17, 1828 in Werkel. Her Baptismal sponsor was her father's sister, also named Catherine. Church records show Catherine's parents, Johann Henrich Ho(h)bein, a linen weaver, born January 10, 1797 in Werkel, died March 31, 1853 in Werkel. He married Catherina Elisabeth Eulert on June 26, 1825. She was born in the nearby town of Deute around 1800 and the marriage took place in another nearby town of Harle. After marriage, this couple resided in Werkel where all of their children were born and baptised. They had 2 children who died in infancy and 5 who lived to adulthood. Two of the daughters that lived were given the same name....this has not yet been expained. Our ancestress Catherine Ho(h)bein, thus far without a middle name, was the oldest of the children who lived. Family tradition is that in the fall of 1869 when the family started for Missouri, the team of horses ran away, and John George Eberting was killed October 9, 1869. He was buried along side the road where he was killed in Cook Co., IL. Catherine Ho(h)bein was an important and key ancestress in our family history. She must of been a very brave and unusual woman. Catherine remarried John Boettcher. She died February 9, 1908. Their bodies were interred at the Tebo Baptist Church Cemetery, Est. 1840, 37 SE Hwy PP, Clinton, Henry Co., MO. >From Clinton, Missouri, drive east on state highway 7 until you reach Tightwad. Turn north on road PP, 2 1/2 miles to Leesville, and another half mile to the Tebo Baptist Church, which was built on this location from it's origonal location on the Briggs homestead when Truman Lake was created, on land donated by Jennie (Briggs) Sheek.

Hello, still looking for someone who may remember something about Joel G. Harvey from Urich, Henry Co. Missouri. In March of 1867 Oliver H. Harvey along with his wife Elizabeth their three sons Otis M., William H., and Albert H. moved from New York to Urich Missouri, They located on a farm about five miles from Urich, where they resided until Oliver's death on Dec. 23, 1894, Elizabeth remained on the farm until her passing on Oct. 25, 1903. Joel Griffith Harvey was born on the family farm in 1872, he attended school at Chillicothe, Missouri, he did get married after his mother's death. In 1903 he was working for the Farmer's Mutual Fire Insurance Co. of Urich. I am trying to find out who he married and what happen to him, any help would be great, thanks Doreen.

Hello MOHenry mailing list, I have recently become the MOHenry Mailing List administrator. I would like to thank the former administrator Joy Kersteter for her dedication to the MOHenry Mailing List. Thank You Joy! Joy's assistance is greatly appreciated and will be missed. You may wish to thank her also. It is a rare individual who does not at sometime in his or her life wonder just who his forebears were; what they did, where they lived, what personal characteristics did they possess that might have been passed down from generation to generation; from whence came the composite of genes that determined our particular physical features such as color of eyes and hair, height, complexion and sometimes even our personal traits and dispositions. Some knowledge of the past, some information on just who we are and what line of descent brought us into being does help us to better understand ourselves. Without a past, there could not be a present, without a present, there could not be a future. Della Maye Fowler of Windsor, Henry Co., MO, compiled a booklet, A Genealogical History of the Eberting Family, 1980 - 1982. This was not a published work, but a booklet that was prepared and distributed to several family members. As the generations come and go a certain amount of family facts and history that can be obtained only from the memory of individuals is lost. The purpose of this booklet was to record some of the information before it disappeared in the mists of time. At the time of preparation it had some errors and unintentional omissions. However, it was very well done considering all the volunteer effort of family members. Although this information is now close to twenty years old, I find that her research is still very relevant today. This information has become the foundation of my research. My interest and research relates to John George Eberting family and descendants of Henry County, Missouri. John George Eberting and Catherine Hobein and their five children: Wilheim (William), Heinrich (Henry), Adam, Catherine Elisabeth & Martin Thomas came from Germany to the United States aboard the ship Atlantic from the port of Bremen and arrived in New York on June 16, 1865. Apparently, they had one more child, Carrie Bell, upon arrival in Chicago, Cook Co., Illinois before they went to Henry Co., Missouri. Many of this Eberting family are interred at Englewood Cemetery, Clinton, and other surrounding cemeteries in Henry Co., Missouri. Family tradition is that in the fall of 1869 when the family started for Missouri, from Cook County, Illinois, the team of horses ran away, and John George Eberting was killed October 9, 1869. John's widow Catherine Hobein Eberting was an important and key ancestress in my family history. Catherine Hobein was born in Werkel, a small village which has since been absorbed into the town of Fritzlar which is near Kassel in the province of Hesse Germany. Catherine Hobein Eberting married John Boettcher on June 30, 1872 in Cook County, Illinois. John Boettcher and Catherine Hobein Eberting Boettcher are interred at the Tebo Baptist Church Cemetery, Clinton, Henry Co., Missouri.

Does anyone have access to the Blairstown Cemetery records? I can't find them on line. I have William Hamilton DANIELS , Manfred and Pearl (DANIELS) HUGHES to look for. Need dates and where born, obits would be fantastic. Probably from the 1920's or later.

Looking for Andrew Jackson (A.J.) death information. Father-in-law of Sarah (Sallie) Hains Thomas (b.1850.) He is listed as her head of household in the1880 census of Big Creek, Henry Co, MO. Sallie and her children (b. 1870's) are buried in Blairstown Cemetery but not A.J. Thomas and I cannot account for him through the census as this time. He is William Harry (Bill) Thomas' grandfather. Anyone recognize this gentleman? Thanks, Michelle
