    1. Holt Co Records
    2. RICHARD RUSSELL
    3. Hello. Please. Need information on families that moved to Holt Co, in the 1850s, from Indiana. Part went to Andrew Co first, and then later into Holt Co. Widow Dianna (Hunt) Blades, along with two married daughters, moved from Shelby Co Indiana to Missouri in 1855, her and one daughter to Andrew Co, and the other daughter to Holt Co. Dianna lived with James L. Peters and Mary A. (Blades) Peters in Andrew Co first, and is listed on the 1860 census. The Peters children were Nancy 1855, David 1858/9, Thomas 1862. James L. Peters disappears from the records after 1862, and was "said" to have "died" Civil War?, but his widow (Mary Ann (Blades) Peters) and children, and mother (Dianna (Hunt) Blades) , have moved across into Holt Co by 1870. David Peter had married a Martha ( ? ) by 1880, Nancy Jane Peters had married John H. Acton 1875, and close by was Thomas Peters, with mother widow Mary Ann (Blades) Peters, and grandmoth! er Dianna (Hunt) Blades (now 75 yrs old and "blind"). Nancy Jane (Peters) Acton was still living Holt 1900. Diana (Hunt) Blades other daughter, Samantha "Nancy" Jane (Blades) Winton, along with husband Samuel F. Winton, had moved into Holt Co in 1855, but would only be there untill "middle" 1860's, as deaths would change their history. The Wintons had three children, Enoch Frank Winton and Mary Elnora Winton before leaving Indiana, and George R. Winton born Holt Co. The mother, Samantha "Nancy" Jane (Blades) Winton, and son George R. Winton, would both die here in Holt Co, and her widower husband Samuel F. Winton would return to Indiana by 1864. Thank you. Regards, Dick
