It would be far easier to learn who is being sought if the "Roll Call" submissions were in the format our listmom used when she suggested reposting. Better still, just a single column of surnames. I would take the time to read either of those, but not the long, involved descriptions. Reserve those for individual queries or posts, Thanks, Jim
A list of names without context isn't very helpful, however, a straight list of names along with the narrative can't hurt :-) in this updated roster. List (for Henry & Bates): WAYNE WALKER VAN HOY JENKINS MULLINS VICKERS LIKENS/LEYKINS PACE BAKER WILLIAMS BOWDON HERREL ALLISON BLOOM HUNGERFORD JOHNSON AUSTEN STRAW GREEN John W & Elizabeth (nee Talbott) WAYNE marry in Bourbon Co, KY in 1818 and settle in Callaway Co, MO in 1823. In 1856 John and son Ben move to Henry Co, MO (they both bought land in sections T41R28S5,6,7 & T42R28S21,32). Elizabeth dies in 1860 Bates Co (visiting a daughter and son-in-law Susan & Alex?). Their children are: - Joshua T m Jane STRAW (1848), after returning from the Mexican-American War. He was the only sibling born in KY. He dies in 1856 in Callaway Co. A Jane Wayne marries George GREEN in 1861. Joshua & Jane's Children are (There is indication - 1860/70 censuses that these children are living with their grandfather & uncle): John T m Elizabeth MULLINS (1872). They settle in Benton Co, MO and then move to Vermilion Co, IL after 1880. Vermilion neighbors Edgar Co, IL where some of Temple's (John W's brother from Audrain Co, MO) family settled (others went to Linn Co, KS). Their children are: Leona Laura - committed suicide in 1895 on the Mullins ranch south of Urich and is buried there. Nancy A Anthony Ethel Anne E m ? LEYKINS (sp??) There's a Marrinet Likens living w/ the family in 1870. Virginia m E.P. VICKERS (1867) Mary Jane m ? JENKINS Joshua T Jr. - Zerlinda m James PACE (1836). Not sure where they are - Linn/Callaway/Henry/Bates counties? He has land in Callaway and Henry Co'ies. Their children are: Mary Roberta Amanda Sarah Joseph - Roberta G m Anderson/Andrew J BAKER (1839). Settles in Buchanan Co, MO and dies in 1856. May have had land holdings in Callaway and Henry? Their children are: Thomas T. Ann E Zerlinda - Susan m Alexander WILLIAMS (1848). They settle in Bates Co, MO, where Alex dies in 1860. Susan dies in Bollinger Co, MO in 1886. Their children are: John William Luther Lecosta - Erminie m John H BOWDON (1854). They settle in Bates Co, MO. Their children are: Margara R Georgia Ann m ? HERREL (in the 1860 census - listed as George A) Elizabeth W m ? ALLISON (in the 1860 census - listed as Wain E) Susie E Ella Charles P Emma J - Thomas, unknown but I think this might be Joshua T(homas)?? The 1850 census shows that he was born in KY. - Benjamin m Flavia WALKER (1857) daughter of Dr. William & Elizabeth (nee VAN HOY) Walker from NC. This is my gg grandparents. They live in Henry until about 1910, when they move to Shawnee, OK and then to LA, CA by 1917 where they are buried. This is the person where stories of being related to the James/Daltons come from. Their children are: Mary E John W (my g grandfather) James T Lassetta E On the 1880 Census, Dr William and Elizabeth are living w/ Ben and Flavia before their deaths in 1881. Also, Flavia's sister, Candice O AUSTEN and her children (Philip P, William E & William B. Baxter) are living there too. Ben and Flavia finally make it out to LA, CA to live w/ a sister or sister-in-law. That would be either Jane, Zerlinda, Roberta, Susan, Erminie, Paralee, Amanda, Candice O, Luzettia J, Florina A or the wife of Robert T. - Paralee m James Walker, brother of Flavia Walker (1856), but she is widowed by the 1870s and marries a BLOOM. - Amanda m Levi HUNGERFORD (~1871). She is widowed and then marries Peter JOHNSON. Peter adopts: John Mary Ellen I will update this as new info is available. I haven't completed all my research for Henry. I am interested in anything not listed here, i.e. grave locations, other family lines and links. Especially of James T (son of Benjamin) and John T and Joshua T Jr. (sons of Joshua), but any contacts are of course welcomed. Who did Ben & Flavia move in with in California? I know that some descendant from this list has info about the James/Daltons as well as a bible or two that might have some of the missing bits from the 1750s to 1820s. My grandfather told me that in the 1910s, his father took him "back" to visit relatives that were still living in Appleton City in St Clair Co, MO. I don't know which ones there were, but I do believe that at least one or two are on this list. Thanks, chris
