John do you have access to the Kansas City marriage index? IVY

Thank you for taking the time and looking. Have a wonderful afternoon

In the JACKSON COUNTY, MO. WILLS AND ADMINISTRATIONS 1862 - 1910 by > Victor P. Meador Or any any other book. Any hel is appreciated, sincerly david Wondering if there is a listing for the surname Devereuax? This name is spelled diffrently many times. However is the way it was spelled on both marriage and death certificates. Thomas Devereux and his wife Margaret Callen/Cullen had quite a large family in Kansas City.

Yes there are two. If you are looking for people in Kansas City you should look there. If you are looking for someone in Independence, Blue Springs, Oak Grove, Buckner, Lee's Summit you should check the court house in Independence. IVY

Ivy, It just struck me what you said! There are 2 courthouses? I didn't know that! And both courthouses are for Jackson County, Mo?

I did not find anything close to that name, but if he was in Kansas City it wouldn't be in my book. In Jackson Co., there are two court houses. One in Kansas City and one in Independence. The one in Independence is mainly for Eastern Jackson Co. Sorry IVY

Thank you, whoever you are, who sent all that information about my gr-grandfather, Larkin Maddox of Jackson County, Missouri. It never ceases to amaze me how generous and helpful other genealogists are. I have done my part in sharing, so looks like what goes around, comes around. Larkin Maddox was married twice, and I am descended from his first marriage. The wills you sent refer to his second marriage. As you can tell, he was well off, but because he and his sons fought on the side of the Confederacy in the Civil War, and were "Bushwackers", their land and property were destroyed by the Kansas "Jayhawkers". Although he left everything (almost) to his second wife and their children, he and his first wife and some of their children are buried together in a family plot in a cemetery in Cass County, Mo., and his second wife who got everything, is buried by herself in a completely different section of the same cemetery. I've been there and taken pictures of the tombstones. My grandfather (my mother's father) was a son of Larkin Maddox and his first wife Jane E. Powers. Those were strange and difficult times on the Missouri/Kansas border during the Civil War, and in many stories are referred to as "The Border Wars". Again, thank you for the information you sent. Marjorie

Larkin MADDOX is not listed in either of Pearl Wilcox books that I have. He is listed in the "HISTORY OF JACKSON COUNTY MISSOURI by W. Z. HICKMAN 1920. page 743 Sketch of William A. SMITH .......Oct. 2, 1876 William A. Smith was united in marriage with Jennie A. MADDOX, a native of Kentucky and a daughter of Larkin and Eveline (BELCHER) MADDOX, early settlers in Jackson County and both now deceased. To Mr. and Mrs . SMITH have been born one son, Jesse L., who is now operating his father's farm. He was educated in the public schools and Wentworth Military School.

Would you please let me know where, and how, you found JACKSON COUNTY PIONEERS by Pearl Wilcox. I have some ancestors who lived in Jackson County, Missouri, before the Civil War, and they might be listed there. If you have this book, would you look to see if LARKIN MADDOX is listed. He was a big land owner in Jackson County. Thanks. Marjorie

The marriage of Mr. Jones's daughter, Tabitha, and Hirum Silvers was solemnized in the hotel by the bride's father, who was then justice of the peace. ...... Hope this helps.
