I'm looking for any information on a Roach family in Howard Co that might help me discover the origins of Lenora Roach who married abt 1845 1st) Preston Eades and on Feb 21, 1865 2) James Marshall. Asa B. Eades who was a step son of Laura Roach Eades married Annie ROACH on April 12 1885 in Cooper Co. Other Roach marriages I have found are - William R. ROACH and Amanda J. MAXLEY Marriage: 4 Nov 1869 Franklin, Missouri William ROACH and Mily PHILLIPS Marriage: 17 Dec 1879 Franklin, Missouri Thanks so much for any assistance. Tammy Jones

There is no marriage in Jessamine Co., Ky., for John Williams Morris s/o Nathaniel & Nancy Williams Morris. I also checked the marriage records for the adjoining counties of Fayette and Woodford as their home in Jessamine was near the small town of Keene. The only early Morris Marriages: Thomas H. Smith - Hopey Morris - 23 Dec 1818 returned 27 Dec 1818. Bo: Nathaniel Morris. Grooms father was Humphrey Smith of Indiana. Henry Morris -Nancy Boatman. 7 Sep 1813. Bo: William Boatman. Sally Boatman, mother of the bride. Alford Williams and family were founding members of the Mount Pleasant Church at Keene (still going strong - http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Pines/3333/index.html) Minutes of Mt Pleasant - 1st Sat in August 1819 - At the request of Bro Nathaniel Morris himself and wife and "too" daughters Elizabeth and Hopey are granted letters of dismission. At the next meeting - Letters of dismission granted to John Morris and Henry Trabue and sister Catherine Roper. The church agreed to adjoin until tomorrow to inquire in the cause of Brother Roper (poor Jesse Mims Roper - he seemed to be in and out of favor with this church). The above seems to indicate that John Morris did not have a wife when they left Jessamine Co. Written in Alford Williams Account Book - "Alford Williams moved to Ky., 9 Sep 1782 & he moved to Mo., 7 May 1819, where he died 17 Feb 1835 He lived the Calvanist Faith for 40 years. At his death he had 70 grandchildren & 76 great-great grandchildren" Nancy Williams b 28 Feb 1779, wife of Nathaniel Morris - was the 4th child of Alford & Elizabeth Price Williams. It seems this family joined Mount Ararat church in Howard Co., Mo. If anyone is interested in records from the bluegrass counties of Ky. I will try to help.

Tracked James Richardson's probate. It only mentions a minor heir in 1824 Christopher B. Richardson, guardian David R. Drake. Looks like some slaves from the estate may have gone to the estate of Elizabeth Barlow(sp?) or Barton(sp?) dec. All the documents from the estate may not be there. James Richardson married Elizabeth Mars, 16 November 1820. Nathan Richardson married Lidia Kelley, 24 May 1827. I think there were Richardsons in Boone County right next door too. In the land deeds found the following: Volume A, page 132 13 November 1817 Linney(sp?) Richardson, guardian of Nathan Richardson, age 13. He becomes an apprentice to William Brazil. In a land deed in 1850, Daniel and Clary Richardson of Carroll County are mentioned as heirs of John Wilds, deceased. You might want to check in Carroll County for Richardsons. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alison Bigbee" <a.bigbee@worldnet.att.net> To: "Beth Wilson" <beth@swilson.com> Sent: Wednesday, September 11, 2002 4:52 PM Subject: Re: [MOHOWARD-L] Land Deeds Information > Hi Beth, Wow, what a lot of work you have done!

The case first came to the attention of the people in this city two weeks ago today, when the old man was found in his covered wagon near the colored school in a stricken condition. He was brought to this city where he received medical attention, but for the first few days, at his request, he was left with his wagon and belongings, he telling Dr. Fleet who attended him that he would be all right in a short time. When he did not improve, he having no money, the county authorities were notified and came to this city and made arrangements for his care, George Black being engaged to care for him. All efforts to obtain from him any information as to how his people, if any, could be reached, failed, and he died without giving any more information than his name and that he had a brother somewhere in St. Louis. After his death, his belongings were gone into in the hope of finding something that might better identify him. In the wagon, which presumably had been his home for many years, was found many old letters, receipts for various things, $7.14 in money, a great many articles of clothing, some of which looked as though they had never been worn and quite a quantity of good silverware. An Odd Fellow receipt from the Polo. Ill., lodge was also found and efforts are being made to find out where he lived. While such efforts are being made the body will be kept at the Duncan Undertaking Establishment and if identification cannot be established, the body will be buried here. It is a pitiful case. More so, because of his advanced years, but the good people of this city have given him every attention and care for which they are to be commended--New Franklin News.

Friday, 9 Oct. 1925, Vol 39 No. 24, pg. 1, col 1--ANOTHER HOWARD COUNTY KILLING--Jack Childers Fatally Shot by His Brother, Price, at New Franklin Last Friday.--Jack Childers was shot and fatally wounded by his brother, Price Childers, Friday night about eleven o'clock. He was rushed to a hospital in Boonville but died in about an hour after the shooting. Price Childers surrendered to the constable at new Franklin and was brought to the jail here. He has since been taken to another jail. The shooting occurred at the Childers home in New Franklin. Price Childers was unnerved over the affair and fainted several times after his arrival at the jail. He claimed self defense, saying that his brother, Jack, had attacked him with an ax, that he tried to escape from him but was overtaken when he fell. He claimed that he fired one shot to frighten his brother and was forced to shoot again, this time fatally wounding him. He seemed heartbroken over what he claimed he had been forced to do. The story from members of his own family give an entirely different account of the whole affair. Jack and Jesse Childers resided with their mother in new Franklin as did Mrs. Price Childers, who is separated from her husband. Price Childers did not reside there. Friday night Jack Childers and a friend returned to the Childers home about eleven o'clock after trying out a new coon dog. The mother is said to have requested Jack to split some kindling when it is alleged he was struck over the head with something by Price Childers who had been hiding near by. The mother is said to have witnessed the trouble and rushed out of the house just as Price shot at Jack, but missed. Jack it is claimed, was stunned by the blow on the head, but attempted to escape by running around the house. Price, it is said, ran around the other way and fired the fatal shot as they met. Jealousy over Price Childer's wife is said to have caused the trouble. Price Childers' age was given as 31 and that of his brother as 28. The Advertiser is giving the account of the tragedy as related by Price Childers. The other version is as told by a brother. A coroner's inquest was not held. Price Childers' preliminary hearing will be held tomorrow. The funeral of Jack Childers was held Sunday. Interment was made at Ashland cemetery.--Fayette Advertiser.

E. Y. Keiter, leaving immediately for Kansas City. The bride is the pretty and accomplished daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Fisher of south of town and is very popular among a wide circle of acquaintances. The groom is too well known to Higbee folks to need any introduction on our part, being the son of Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Dinwiddie, and who moved away from the old town only a few weeks ago. He is a most exemplary young man and numbers his friends by his acquaintances.

With several young people he was out for a walk in the vicinity of the old Inter-state mine south of town, and climbing up on the old trestle, was walking out to the old dirt dump and fell through a hole to the railroad track, some ten or fifteen feet. He did not see the hole he stepped into for the reason that he was busy paring an apple. Fortunately, he was not injured by the knife in his fall, and aside from the broken arm, received no more serious injuries than a few bruises and a fearful shaking up. He is to be congratulated on his escape. Friday, 9 Oct. 1925, Vol 39 No. 24, pg. 1, col 3--KILLS SELF WITH RAZOR--Walker Blakley Ends Life by Cutting His Throat Sunday Afternoon.--The people of North Howard and Sharon community were horribly shocked Sunday afternoon when the news was heralded around that Walker Blakley had committed suicide by cutting his throat with a razor at the home of Mrs. Fisher near Sharon Church. Harold Fisher and wife reside with his mother and brother near Sharon Church. Walker Blakley was employed by the Fishers. Sunday morning about 10:30 Harold Fisher went over to Owen Woods', a neighbor, and about 1:30 as he was coming home on horseback, and rounded a turn when near home he saw Mrs. Fisher running from the house with her baby in her arms, and screaming, and was followed by Blakley. He took his wife and child to the home of Nick Green, a neighbor, and tried to get a shotgun, but Mr. Green persuaded him to let the law take its course in the matter. Mr. Fisher tried to get the sheriff over the phone but couldn't and then leaving Nick Green's home, he came to town, swore out a warrant for the arrest of Blakley. The warrant was given to Constable F. M. Sires to serve. Wm. Wallace drove to the Fisher home with Mr. Sires. When they arrived a search was made about the barn and outbuildings for Blakley, and finally he was located in an upstairs room with his throat cut. Dr. Richards, of Fayette, County coroner, was notified and he came and held an inquest. Constable Sires subpoenaed the following jury for the inquest: John Thorpe, D. O. Green, Wm. Wallace, B. T. Magruder, A. C. Green and G. W. Robb. The verdict of the jury was that Walker Blakely came to his death by cutting his own throat with a razor. It was brought out in the evidence before the jury that Blakely had attempted to assault Mrs. Fisher, and getting loose from him she grabbed her child and escaped from home as above. It was also said he also warned Mrs. Fisher if she told of his attempt to assault her there would be two newly made graves in the cemetery. The Herald is informed that young Blakely had a severe illness about two years ago, and it was thought by some that his mind was affected from his illness. At best it is a most lamentable tragedy. Mrs. Fisher, mother of Harold Fisher, was visiting with relatives near New Franklin, and Sam Fisher, was also absent from the home when the tragedy took place.--Armstrong Herald.

Deceased was born in London, England, 80 or more years ago, and came to Canada when quite a young man, and coming to this locality at the close of the Civil War, making his home for several years with the late Wm. Jones of Myers. Mr. Smith was a plasterer by trade and years ago used to boast that he had plastered every house in the town, and which was the case at that time. He was a good workman and was honest in his work as he was in everything else. As he had no known relatives there was no one to care for him in his latter years, and when he got too feeble to work he was taken to the sanitarium following a spell of sickness, friends seeing that it was impossible for him to be kept here. But he was not forgotten by them, and most always called on him when in or near Huntsville, and saw to it that he was liberally supplied with tobacco and other little luxuries. As soon as news of his death reached here these friends saw to it that he should be given decent and Christian burial and the body was brought to the undertaking parlors of J. W. Burton, where it was kept until Monday when funeral services were conducted at the Baptist church by the Rev. Notley Magruder, the church being comfortably filled, despite the inclement weather. Interment was made at Myers in the Jones family burial lot in New Hope cemetery. Deceased, so far as is known, had no relatives, never having communicated with any of his family since he ran away from home at the age of 18 years.

Friday, 2 Oct. 1925, Vol 39 No. 23, pg. 1, col 1--FATAL SHOOTING SATURDAY MORNING--Ed Mitchell Shot and Instantly Killed By Mrs. Ina Pipes--Self Defense is Claim.--Ed Mitchell was shot and instantly killed Saturday morning about ten-thirty o'clock by Mrs. Ina Pipes, a widow, at the latter's home ten miles southeast of Fayette. The first word of the affair to reach Fayette was a telephone message which Sheriff Cooper received, telling him to come to the Pipes farm and bring the coroner as there had been serious trouble. Sheriff Cooper, accompanied by the coroner, Dr. T. C. Richards, and Deputy Sheriff R. P. Cooper, left immediately for the scene. When the sheriff's party arrived it was found that Ed Mitchell had been killed and that Mrs. Pipes admitted the shooting but claimed that it was in self defense. The following men were summoned to serve on the coroner's jury: Jno. Smith, Chas. Smith, W. E. Richards, Nev Blakemore, Harry Street and Warren Woods. Mrs. Pipes testified at the inquest and gave an account of the affair. Mitchell for some time had been living on the Pipes farm in a small house near the residence. He had, she claimed, threatened her life at other times and on Friday night she and her thirteen year old daughter had spent most of the night in a corn field because of his threats. Saturday morning he appeared at the house and proceeded to tear up things generally, breaking the dishes and smashing jars of fruit. Mrs. Pipes stated that she and her daughter took refuge in a room in the house and she was able to lock the door. He threw a hand ax through the window and then secured a razor and started to come through the window, telling them, so Mrs. Pipes, testified, that he would kill them. Mrs. Pipes said that she rushed to her trunk and took out a revolver and fired four or five times. Two of the shots took effect, striking Mitchell near the heart. He died instantly. Mrs. Pipes was brought to Fayette and placed in jail. Yesterday morning she was released on a $5,000 bond. Her preliminary hearing will be held Thursday. Mitchell is the second of his family to meet a violent death. His son, May Mitchell, was shot and instantly killed by John Robb about two years ago. Chas. Mitchell, a brother of Ed Mitchell, was severely wounded by Robb in the same affair and later died from the effects of the wounds. Ed Mitchell is survived by his wife and one son, two sisters and three brothers. Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon conducted by the Rev. Paul S. Powell. Interment was made in the City Cemetery.--Fayette Advertiser, Sept. 28.

They were letters from a man in Virginia to Walker's grandfather, Capt. Minor Rucker, a captain in the war of 1812. and who settled in this country a few years following that war. Stamps and envelopes were unknown in those days, the sheets of the letters being folded in such a way that they formed their own envelopes, with the address on one side, as well as the amount the person addressed would have to pay the postmaster to get the letter, while on the back were requests to the postmaster to see that the letters were delivered as soon as possible. Despite their age, the letters are in a fine state of preservation and are seemingly not more than three or four years old, while the writing is as legible as if written yesterday. Walker says that among the old letters and papers he has some dated as far back as 1800. Friday, 2 Oct. 1925, Vol 39 No. 23, pg. 1, col 3--Celebrated Twentieth Birthday--Mr. and Mrs. W. D.

L. Painter, who had been elected president of the new bank that was to have succeeded the old one, having been named as special deputy to wind up the bank's affairs. Under the reorganization plan, as worked out by the State Finance department, depositors of the old bank were to receive at once on the opening of the reorganized bank, 50 cents on the dollar, and as much later as the bad paper would bring, but a ruling by the attorney general to the effect that the proposed reorganization would not be legal, the plan fell through and the bank was ordered liquidated. Just what the depositors will get now is not known, but it isn't likely that they will get any less than fifty cents on the dollar, unless the expense of liquidation and lawyers' fees eat up all that remains, as has been the case, to a great extent, with several banks that have failed.

Friday, 25 Sep. 1925, Vol 39 No. 22, pg. 1, col 1--Miss Robb Doing Nicely.--Miss Claudine Robb, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Miller Robb, who had been suffering for several weeks from symptoms of appendicitis, was seized with an acute attack of that malady Friday of last week, and her condition was so alarming that it was necessary that she be operated on at once, and was rushed to a Moberly hospital where the operation was performed immediately on her arrival. She came through it nicely, we are pleased to state, and has since been doing famously and will be able to come home in a few days. Friday, 25 Sep. 1925, Vol 39 No. 22, pg. 1, col 1--Injured In Auto Accident--Mrs. John Blakely, while on her way home from Moberly Saturday, was painfully hurt when her car came in collision with another on the Six-Mile Lane just south of Moberly, the particulars of which we have not been able to learn. She was taken to a Moberly hospital where her injuries were attended to the worst being an injury to her right arm, but which was not broken. We could not learn of the damage to either car nor the cause of the accident. Friday, 25 Sep. 1925, Vol 39 No. 22, pg. 1, col 2--Jake Shaiffer to Hospital--Jake Shaiffer, one of our best known citizens, who has been sick for the past ten days, taking a turn for the worse the first of the week, was rushed to a Moberly hospital Tuesday, it being thought that an operation might be necessary to save his life. It was found, however, that such was not the case, and he has since been doing nicely and was reported to be still on the mend at the hour of going to press. As he is over 80 years old, it was feared by his friends that his recovery would be a matter of grave doubt, and all rejoice that the prospects are that he will be able to return home in a short time in his usual health. Friday, 25 Sep. 1925, Vol 39 No. 22, pg. 1, col 3--W. A. Fowler Sells Farm--W. A. Fowler this week sold his farm of 120 acres six miles south of town to Mrs. S. E. Merry of Moberly for $4800, taking Mrs. Merry's residence in that city in on the deal. Mr. Fowler will sell a big lot of personal property at the farm on the 29th and will move immediately thereafter to Moberly. Mrs. Merry will move to the farm. Mr. Fowler and family will be given up with a great deal of regret by neighbors and friends and all hope that they may return to the community at some future time to remain. But wherever they cast their lot, the best wishes of all will go with them. Friday, 25 Sep. 1925, Vol 39 No. 22, pg. 1, col 3--Jas. Barron to Hospital.--Jas. Barron, who has been suffering for several years from what has been pronounced by some physicians as cancer of the stomach, and by others as ulcers, and whose case has proved a complete puzzle to medical science, went to a Boonville hospital the latter part of last week for an examination, and was informed, so we are advised, that there was no reason why he should not get well, but was advised, we understand, that he would have to follow, implicitly, the advice of his physicians as to diet. As Jim has lived through a period of semi-starvation for so many years, this should be quite an easy task for him by this time, and along with his other friends we sincerely trust that he will take the advice and soon be his old self again. Friday, 25 Sep. 1925, Vol 39 No. 22, pg. 1, col 4--New Baptist Church Members--The following are the new members added to the Baptist church during the recent tabernacle meeting conducted by the Rev.

Hurshman, Gilbert Claypool, Lilly Claypool, Clara Atkins, Myrtle Atkins, Bettie Warford, Freddie Warford, Ethel Chism, Warren Winn, Donald Woods, Pete Gruber, Georgia Gruber, James Gruber, Alberta Edwards and John D. Edwards. Baptismal services were held at the Alton lake Sunday afternoon, when all of the above who had not united with the church by letter, some twelve or more, were baptized by the pastor, the Rev. L. M. White, a very large crowd being on hand to witness this most solemn rite. Friday, 25 Sep. 1925, Vol 39 No. 22, pg. 1, col 4--Mrs. John Lynch to Hospital.--Mrs. John Lynch, who has been in poor health for some time, was taken to a Boonville hospital the latter part of last week for a serious surgical operation, and which was performed a few days later. It was at first reported that the outcome was quite problematical, but we are glad to say that she is holding her own, and that she was reported quite a bit improved yesterday. Her many friends join the NEWS in the hope that she will be soon restored to them. Friday, 25 Sep. 1925, Vol 39 No. 22, pg. 1, col 4--Bryan Barron, who was injured one day last week by falling off a truck while working on the new transmission line of the Missouri Light & Power Co., cutting a deep gash behind his right ear, has been having more or less trouble from the injury since, although at the time it was not considered any ways serious, and it was thought the first of the week that a mastoid abscess was forming and that an operation might be necessary. He was better yesterday and it was believed he would have no further trouble. Friday, 25 Sep. 1925, Vol 39 No. 22, pg. 1, col 6--Mrs. Wm. Hurshman returned Saturday from Colorado Springs, Colo., where she spent several weeks with her brother, Sam Whitmore, and family. Friday, 25 Sep. 1925, Vol 39 No. 22, pg. 1, col 6--Mrs. Teresia Gatz, who has been making her home with her son-in-law, F. M.

We came here for the benefit of Christine's health. She is recovering from nervousness fast. The altitude at Hugo was too high for her. Rained here all day today. Here is where the watermelons grow as large as 80 pounds. Fine country here. My regards to all inquiring friends." Friday, 25 Sep. 1925, Vol 39 No. 22, pg. 2, col 1&2--Thursday the 17th, was a very pleasant day at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Goin it being Mr. Goin's 61st birthday, and which was fittingly celebrated with a big dinner, which was enjoyed to the fullest, as was the entire day. Those present: Mr. and Mrs. Romie Piper, Odessa; Mr. and Mrs. Roy Piper, Slater; Mr. and Mrs. Dewey Goin and baby, Mr. and Mrs. Bud Goin, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Longdon and baby and Mrs. Alfred Towels.

Funny you should mention this because these people are my gr-gr-grandparents !! They were married in the Chapel of "Central" College, now known as Central Methodist College. It's a small (1,000 students) liberal arts college affiliated with the United Methodist Church. Louisa's father was Prof. Francis Xavier Forster and he was an ordained Methodist Minister and teacher there for several years. You may see his name listed on a few marriage records in Howard County from the 1870's. Ironically, I graduated from there in 1990, over a hundred years after he taught there. Louisa was very active in the early public education in Fayette and Howard County. She is mentioned in the History of Howard and Cooper Counties, 1883 as being a school teacher. Of course she gave that up when she married and began having children. Sadly, she died at the ripe old age of 36 (in 1885) leaving her husband with 5 small children to raise on his own. That's probably more information than you wanted to know, but that's the scoop.

Carolyn, Thanks so much for the information from the microfilm of the John Thurman/_______Brashear marriage. Also, thanks for the information on the other Thurman marriages. I'm not to the point yet to know if any of these other Thurmans connect to John Thurman. Do you or anyone else have any info on Marvin Thurman (son of John Thurman by his first wife) or Cassandra Thurman (daughter by Margaret Ann Brashear)? Ruth Harbison

While looking at the marriages, I came across something I am having trouble reading (is that a surprise?)

This is really going to frost your buns! Looked at the microfilm of the original record for the John Thurman marriage.

I've been chasing these dog gone CHISMs through Moniteau, Morgan, and Cooper.. looks like alot happened in Howard; before the Cooper formation that I should back track on. The reason being is that obviously as you've said many times; there is much to uncover in land deed records.

I'm wondering if my ancestor Mary Frances Thurman Campbell is connected to these other Thurmans. Mary Frances Thurman married James Campbell on 7 Feb. 1850 in Howard County. She was born ca 1832 - the 1850 Census says she was born in Kentucky and the 1860 Census says she was born in Missouri. Is anyone else researching the Thurmans?
