I have a deed to land dating 1817 in Washington County, now I believe it is Iron County, Missouri. His property was at the foot of Buford Mountain. He was quite a notable fellow and very wealthy. My question, Is there a book about families of Missouri that were note worthy. For instance there is a Kentucky book called "Historic Families of Kentucky" Does MO. have anything like that? > > Thanks for any help at all. Fern >
