Hi, You might just want to write the courthouse in Jasper County, especially since you have an exact date. I had good luck with Barry County, and I only had the year right. - Heather On 13 Aug 2002 bergenia@macomb.com wrote: > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Surnames: Clark, > Classification: Lookup > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/1MB.2ACI/2060 > > Message Board Post: > > Could someone from the Carthage/Joplin area do a marriage lookup for me?

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/1MB.2ACI/2061.1 Message Board Post: Hi, I'm wondering where in west-central Illinois your Wilson's are from. I found out this summer my Wilson's were in the Scott Co., area for 70+ years and my great great grandfather left the area around 1878 settleing in the Joplin (Webb City) area. Carthage is near or next to Webb City. Can you tell me who your father's family is if you know it.
I don't know if this will be of any interest to you or not. I have a great aunt who married a Clark of Joplin in 1936. His name was Murry Clark, Jr. So since he was a junior we have assumed his father was Murry Clark. Their marriage was announced in the Joplin Globe. You might try to get microfilm for the month and year in question of the Joplin Globe. Your local library can request it for you with interlibrary loan. I have been able to research many old newspapers through interlibrary loan of microfilm.

Hi Mary, Below are the only Spicy Smiths (var spellings) found in the 1880 census. From your info, none of them appear to be the right ones. If you would like to narrow down the William and Robert Smith by age or location, same for Joel Foster, I will be happy to check out other possibilities for you. Also if you would give Spicy's age also, I could look under Jane. There are a ton of these names on there!

Does anybody know anything about Volney Fullerton? He was the son of Jesse H. Fullerton and Martha Stevenson and born about 1860. I think this is his picture, but it looks a bit young for somebody born 1860, so it might be another man. http://surgery.uchicago.edu/hblair/pictures/Blair_Motley/VolneyFullerton.jpg - Heather
I *think* I have a picture of Jacob Lebow Williams and his wife, Marilda Frances Fullerton. Marilda was the sister of my gg-grandmother, Mary Jane Fullerton (1845 - 1934), and there's a picture among my great-grandmother's stuff with the caption "Jake Williams and family". It's here on the web at: http://surgery.uchicago.edu/hblair/pictures/Blair_Motley/JakeWilliams_and_family.jpg I don't know the names of their sons who are in the picture, and if you do, please drop me a note. - Heather

John, Suppose I should have sited sources. This is from the GovLandOffice Questions and Answers section. Although 1820 is not specified here it is quoted as the authority on the early land certificates. How was the land sold or disposed of? A. The land was disposed of by the authority of many acts of Congress - sale, homesteads, military warrants for military service, timber culture, mining, etc. One of the primary purposes of these public land laws was to encourage people from the East to move West. In the early 1800's people could buy public land for $1.25 an acre. For a time, they could buy up to 640 acres under this law. The sale of public land under the "Cash Act" is no longer in effect. [notice for a time, I am of the opinion the acreage was reduced, about 1840, from 640 to about 240 acres based on purchases made by some of my ancestors] Several Military Warrant Acts granted public land to soldiers instead of pay. These acts have been repealed. The Homestead Act of 1862, allowed people to settle up to 160 acres of public land if they lived on it for five years and grew crops or made improvements. This land did not cost anything per acre, but the settler did pay a filing fee. This act is no longer in effect. =0= A History of Missouri Volume II 1820 to 1860 by Perry McCandless contains numerous references to land because land was the main drawing card for new settlers. pg 42, after a discussion on land speculators, Land acquisition occurred in various ways. At the time of Missouris entry into the Union, national government lands were being auctioned at t minimum price of $ 1.25 per acre in plots as small as eighty acres. Although no credit was allowed, a farm site could be purchased in Missouri for a relatively small outlay of capital. With some obvious exceptions most land went at or only slightly above the $ 1.25 minimum price. By prior agreement or sometimes as a result of personal pressures, men at auctions frequently held the bids down. Some of the land never came up for auction because men had already settled on a selected spot and were allowed in most areas by special legislation to purchase it for the minimum price before it was put up for auction by the land office. The right of general pre-emption was granted by Congress in 1841. [as small as eighty acres should read as small as forty acres, many land certificates are on record, forty acres for fifty dollars] Bill Landers

Surnames: Farr, Stanfield, St. Clair Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/1MB.2ACI/1104.1 Message Board Post: I realize it has been some time since you posted this message, but I have not been on the internet for very long. I also realize that my message has nothing (I don't think) about H McGlothlin, F Carson or L Spencer. Yet two things caught my eye---1. your name and 2. Oklahoma. I have one question---do you or did you ever live or work in Oklahoma or TX or do/did any of your Farr relations? I am looking for several Farr families. One person I am seeking is named Frank Farr and I cannot make a connection to my families of Stanfield/St Clair---family or friend? Several other people have asked me to find info about their Farr families from same areas. Any info you can give will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Sue
Bill, Certainly appreciate your reply. After replying to you I recalled that Marvin VanGilder, several years ago, had written about my G Grandfather in one of his Local Heritage columns in the Carthage Press. He stated that my GG had settled on tract of "preempted" land, so that agrees with what you wrote. Do you know where I can learn more about the cash sale act of 1820? I found a discussion of the homestead act in my encyclopedia, but can't find the 1820 act. Thanks -- John
