Hi everyone: When you are researching your early (before 1900's), you really must have a fair knowledge of the history of our country & it's changes in boundry lines. Animap is a wonderful program, and the provider, Goldbug can be found at: http://www.goldbug.com/ For access to the county boundry maps online: http://www.segenealogy.com/missouri/mo_maps.htm Also, for Iron county, I have put a map that I got from the Dept of Transportation (75 cents each, I think... was not much). You can view the Iron county map here: http://www.rootsweb.com/~moiron2/ironmaps.htm You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader.. and the above site has a link to download that program (free). Why do you need to know about the boundry changes from long ago? Because county boundry, and many times state boundry lines changed. For instance, did you know that in the 1700's, VA covered a vast amount of the Eastern US? Most of the (US side) Great Lakes (Huron, Michigan, Erie & Superior) were in VA (1781). At one time (1790 & before) many of the Eastern States, including VA ran as far (some maps show coast to coast) the Mississippi River? We need to have a working knowledge of maps & boundaries to be able to determine what our country boundaries were in the years we are searching for our ancestor's in. Also, you need to check the Animap/ or county map links above to know where in MO (or any state) your ancestor's were and ended up in. Iron county, MO formed in 1857 from Dent, Madison, Reynolds, St. Francois, Washington & Wayne counties. Prior to 1857, one MUST include these other counties, and then check to see where these counties formed from. We need to do our Homework! If you do your homework, you will be better able to provide help to those who have volunteered to help you locate information. NEVER let a location stop you from considering a line. One other note... here is the story (true)... I get an email... would the James Freeman Campbell in my gedcom have been in San Francisco in early 1940's? I asked my mom in law... NO Freeman never left MO and died there. I told the person I didn't think so. I think I got couple more notes... then about a year later a letter in the mail... "My dad was James Freeman Campbell b Iron County, MO".. the dates and location were correct... so, not wanting to disapoint someone looking for her fathers family... I emailed a copy of the letter to family in MO & FL... a few moments later I get a phone call...." HOW DID YOU FIND HER? We have been looking forever!." Seems James Freeman was in CA, and had married several times. He had kids by most of the wives... had I insisted, the connection would not have come about... the aunt is not an avid computer user. Moral... don't take spoken words as gospel. My mom in law also stated her Pattersons were of Cape Girardeau county... yet I found them (took 3 years to have it sink in she could be wrong about her own family too) in Stoddard county. Do your research... don't let stories, no matter who tells them, or county/state boundries stop you from busting through a brick wall.... Please, when you get an offer of help, don't say..." can't be them, not right town, county, or whatever".... check it out.. someone has gone through a lot of bother to help you... they may have more knowledge than you do about genealogy research.. check the information out before you dismiss the possibilities. Same goes for name spellings (our MO ancestors were NOT great at spelling). Thanks & happy hunting! Marge

Hello......... Well, well....... finally I'm getting somewhere...... I found your Gennie DOUGLAS, Gennie's husband Gilbert SCHNELL and their children in the 1910 Census......

William and Margaret's daughter Margaret, born CA 1890 is also living in this house and has a different married name then what you have....... Janet Gilbert L.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: WHITE, AMELUNG Classification: Lookup Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/zMB.2ACI/897 Message Board Post: I'm looking for an obituary for my aunt, Nelle White (nee Amelung) who was buried on Wednesday, July 9, 2003 at Arcadia Cemetery (Iron County). Thank you, Marcine Lohman (nee Amelung)

I quickly put together a webpage with my information. Some of it may be missing, but I did this over lunch time and will work on it more later. Sorry, it looks sloppy. But it will give you an idea of what dates I have, which are few. I just embarked on this branch, so I don't have much. That is why I'm looking in the census. I'm sure the children are even out of order and figured the census could give me approximate dates and put the children in order. But I can't find anything in the census. http://treadways.homestead.com/homepage.html I'll try to update it better tonight. All the #2's under the #1 are their children. All the #3's under a #2 (up til the next #2) are their children. I'm not sure about any of my information. I've just been collecting and putting things in places I thought appropriate. I'm not even sure if their name is with one 's' or two (Douglass). I tried that in the census to and came up empty. I believe it is one though, because that is where the SS index had them. Thanks for your help and concerns. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Janet" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, July 11, 2003 9:16 AM Subject: Re: [MOIRON] Douglas in Census > Hello [I don't have a name as to whom I am writing] > > So far I am batting zero in finding any census records for your DOUGLAS > family.........

Hello [I don't have a name as to whom I am writing] So far I am batting zero in finding any census records for your DOUGLAS family......... Do you have any death certificates that has birth and death dates and places............ Have you located any census records for any of the DOUGLAS family and if so, what census year and which county, etc........ In most cases the best way to find family is to start with known dates and places and then locate the individuals in the most current census [1930] and then *armed* with the info from that census you can then go backwards, 1920, 1910, 1900, etc.......

In 1912, The History of SE MO states Caledonia was in Washington county. Caledonia (p270) A village in Washington county, about 12 miles south of Potosi, was founded in 1819 and is in the center of the famous Bellevue valley, the country around it being remarkable for its fertility. In 1899 it had three general stores, a wagon facory, a saw mill, a gristmill, a Methodist church and a Presbyterian church and a public school. At that time its population was 250, its present population is 128 (in 1912). The Presb. Church is one of the oldes in MO, having been organized in 1825. the town was formerly the seat of Bellevue Collegiate Instutute before its removal to Fredericktown. there is one bank, The Bank of Caledonia, with a capital of $10,000. It is the terminus of the Caledonia branch of the Iron Mountian Railway whichruns from Mineral Point. The above book, History of Southeast Missouri, was written by Robert Sidney Douglass, A.B., LL.B. Professor of History, State Normal School, Cape Girardeau, MO Published in 1912 by Lewis Publishing Co, New York & Chicago Douglass names in this book: DOUGLAS: A.E. p 426 R. E. p 536 DOUGLASS: A.

(Frontspiece) Thomas J. 1015 (bio) By Page Number: 307... paragraph at end of page (this chapter about early settlers in the area of Dunklin county) About the same time (before 1850) in Clay township there were the families of A.T. DOUGLASS, E.J. LANGDON, Edward SPENCER, Lewis CHANDLER, Isaiah JONES, John MARSH, James BRADLEY, John DOUGHERTY, Richard COOK, James HERRMAN, Absolom FARRIS, A.B. WILLIAMS, and David FINLEY.

SHELTON, T.W. STOKES, John WRIGHT, I.A. WALTRIP, G.M. WHITE and E.C. WHITE. (More early settlers listed, names only). 426 - A.E. DOUGLAS mentioned as a teacher of Latin & assistant in English (State Normal School). 473-474 - R.H. DOUGLASS mentioned as being part of Black River Church Organization (Baptist). 536- (note: could not find the mention of R.E. DOUGLAS, but the chapter is on the State Normal School. 570 Alexander Thomas DOUGLASS. (Note: Photos of Mr. & Mrs. A.T. Douglass on facing page/also, very winded guy, this R.S. Douglass, so will only give gist of genealogical info.. if you are connected.. let me know). Born in VA.. head of Dunklin co MO Douglass family. Born in Bedford co, VA on 5 April 1811. Parents Robert Henry & Permelia NOEL DOUGLASS. The family was originally from Scotland & they added the second "s" to distinquish from other Douglas' in the county. Children of RH & Permelia were: Alexander Thomas, Louvina, who became the wife of a man named PENNY in Callaway county, KY; Catherine, who married Matthew SENTER of TN and removed to SE MO and Alfred Hill DOUGLASS, who afterward lived in Cheatham county, TN Alexander T. was married at Moscow, KY to Elizabeth MOTT in 1838. The entire family moved from VA to Montgomery co, TN, in 1830. At various times they lived near Fulton, near Union City, TN and in Callaway county KY. The family was relat4ed to the Callaways in whose honor Callaway county was named. While living in Ky, they were associated with the family of Daniel BOONE and at one time SueCallaway, a cousin of Alexander Douglass and Daniel Boone's daughter, May were captured by the indians and after a thrilling pursuit were rescued. (NOTE: Keep in mind Mr. Douglass' longwindedness & all of our wants to be related to someone famous in some way). His wife, Elizabeth MOTT was born in KY, 12 June 1821. Her family was one of the pioneer families of that state and many of its members are still living there. One of her sisters, Mrs. W.H. HELM, lives at Kennett. Mrs. Douglass died at Senath, 1 Feb 1899. The children of A.T. & Elizabeth Mott Douglass were: R.H.

Only son of A T and Eliz Douglass (Our professor contadicts himself! Beleive he is only living son in 1912). He came with his parents to Dunklin co in 1850.

I am researching my ancestors with the surname London. My great grandfather was James Pinkney London and he came to Texas about 1900 from Missouri. He always stated he was born in Wayne Co., MO (1872 or 1877) but there is a family in the 1870 census (Iron Co., MO) that perhaps is his family. William London with wife Jane are listed. I believe this may be his family before he was born with his mother Jane Oldham (or Odom) and several other children listed. Thanks for anyone's help who may have info on this Iron Co. family in 1870.
