I'm doing some research for a friend on Elizabeth Yancy and John G. Burton who moved from Howard Co to Boone County about 1865. She died in 1884 and is buried in a cemetery near Armstrong. John G Burton was from Shelbyville KY and died in 1876 at age 81. I suppose she was related to the Yancys in Howard Co. It appears they only had the one daughter, Martha "Pattie" Burton, married Luther Smith, in 1877, who became quite a cattleraiser in Texas in the 1890's. Is the 1860 census of Howard county on line? I should look them(the Burtons) up in 1860 census.

All the censuses from 1830 through 1930 are online in the scanned format. No indexing for 1850 that I know of. You can find them through the Howard Co Web page. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mohoward/ will take you to the main page. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/mo/howard/howard.htm will take you to the census records (scroll down) Good luck Carolyn -----Original Message----- From: laura crane [mailto:lcrane@coin.org] Sent: Tuesday, February 18, 2003 10:24 PM To: MOHOWARD-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [MOHOWARD-L] Yancy cemetery outside of Armstrong I'm doing some research for a friend on Elizabeth Yancy and John G.
