Surnames: McAntire, Perry, Simpson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/1MB.2ACI/1952 Message Board Post: Looking for information about Robert McAntire, my great-great-uncle who was living in Joplin, MO in 1923 at the time of the death of my great-grandmother Mildred Perry Simpson. Robert was born in 1871, son of William McAntire, and was living with Joel and Mildred Kellar in Scotland Co., MO at the time of the 1880 census. All help will be appreciated.

Could someone do a lookup for me the next time they go to the Joplin Library? If possible I would like to see if there is a listing for -- (first name unknown) Randall and wife Betty, or Betty L, or Betty Lou. during the period 1946 through 1950. Also, if we make a trip to Joplin, would the Court House have a listing of marriages for 1946? Bob Birch bbrch@att.net Garland, Tx.

Bev, Try calling information for Joplin, MO and getting a direct listing for the cemetery and for one mortuary. If you cannot reach anyone directly at the Cemetery with a phone call, then try the mortuary and get a cemetery contact from them. I just did all of the above to locate burial info in Lompoc, CA. Also if you post a request on the Rootsweb.com Joplin County site, you may find someone who is kind enough to go out and take a photo of both the gravesites and the headstone for you. I woke up this A.M. and had photos (taken by a person in Lompoc) of every headstone for my family members in the cemetery and my grandfather's gravesite, no headstone. Of course now that I know there is no headstone I will have one placed there. If you can find out the name of the actual Mortuary that handled the burials, and they are still in business, they may be willing to locate their records & send you copies....that always has great family info, Addresses, names of family members etc. Reasons for death...Worth the effort to try. Many mortuary businesses stay in the family for generations so it is possible.

Hello listers! This historical outline of Joplin is from a "Newton county featuring Jasper county" map.. Can't stay up long... but I thought it was interesting & it contains a few surnames that I've seen mentioned on here: Part 1: http://www.dabros.com/images/brendadarrell/jop1.jpg Continues here: http://www.dirthurts.com/images/brendadarrell/jop.jpg

Does anyone have the contact information for Sarcoxie "city" cemetery (still in use, on highway 37 west side of town) or the index to the Belk series? Thanks! Brenda

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Brock, Reed, Pennington, Scott, Shirley Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/1MB.2ACI/342.590 Message Board Post: Myra Maybelle Shirley's mother was Eliza Pennington, supposedly related to the Hatfields of the Hatfield-McCoy feud. Father John Shirley supposedly the black sheep of a well-to-do VA family apparently was married and divorced twice before marrying Eliza in Indiana. By 1839 they had moved to near Carthage, Jasper Co., MO. Within a few years Shirley had moved into Carthage where he owned a hotel, livery, and other business interests and was well-to-do. When the Civil War began, the federal government took control of MO and southern sympathizers farms were burned and others forced from towns in the counties adjoining Kansas from Kansas City to the AR line. The Shirleys moved to the Scyene community, Dallas Co., TX where John Shirley obtained an 800 acre land grant. Now part of southeastern Dallas, the very short Belle Starr Street was the location of the Shirley home. Nov. 1, 1866, Collin Co., TX, James C."Jim" Reed and Myra were married (marriage records of Collin Co.). Jim's parents had been burned out of Vernon Co., MO and come to near present Rhome, Wise Co., TX to join Jim's grandparents Perry Green Brock and Margaret Scott and most of their children who had moved from Cass Co., MO in 1858 and 1860. Jim's father Solomon Reed died Wise Co. May, 1863. When the Civil War ended, Jim's mother Susan (Brock ) Reed moved to south of McKinney, Collin Co., TX with her sister Fatima Jane (Brock) and "Timy's" husband David Reed (a cousin of Susan's husband Solomon Reed). Jim had remained in MO during the war, riding with the Youngers, James brothers, and Shirley son John Allison "Bud" Shirley in Quantrill's Raiders. Jim came to his mother's in TX after the war ended and he and Myra married in Collin Co. where his family was. Jim's father's estate in Vernon Co., MO was probated in 1866/1867 and Jim's mother Susan returned to her old home. Probably early 1868, Jim and Myra moved to his mother's in MO. Here daughter Rosa Lee "Pearl" was born in Sept, 1868. They moved to near Riverside,CA, where son James Edwin was born 22 Feb, 1871. In 1872 they moved back to TX, going to Coon Creek area near present Laguna Park, Bosque Co., TX , later moving back to Dallas. Jim was shot and killed near Paris, TX, 6 Aug 1874 while resisting arrest. Don't have complete data, but John Shirley apparently died 1876. Eliza Shirley then sold her farm and moved to Dallas. Haven't researched the Shirley family much, but think these are the children of John and Eliza. 1. John Allison "Bud"Shirley b 1842 MO killed 1864 Sarcoxie, MO. Apparently a captain in Quantrill's Raiders 2. Myra Maybelle b 6 Feb 1848 Jasper Co., MO killed 3 Feb 1889 near her Younger's Bend home near Eufaula, OK. Buried at home place. 3. Edwin b 1850 Jasper Co., MO, killed about 1868 for stealing horses. John Shirley may have had other children by his prior marriages, but I have no record of them as yet. Myra's second husband may have been Bruce Younger, a relative of Cole Younger, as there is a marriage license in Lebette Co., KS for a Bruce Younger and Myra Maybelle Reed 15 May 1880. If that is true, it was a very short lived marriage as 3 weeks later she was marrying Cherokee Indian Sam Starr in Indian Territory. Contrary to the old stories, Myra's daughter Rosa was not Cole Younger's child. In his autobiography, Younger clearly states he visited the Shirley home in 1864 and the next visit was at the Reed home in MO in 1868 when Myra was 6 months pregnant. You might get your local library to order via inter-library loan from the Mid-Continent Library in Independence, MO. the book "Starr Tracks" by Philip Steele. He has some incorrect information,but should be correct enough to help you. Unfortunately some of his "data" is from tales, not facts, but then most of the books on "Belle Starr" rely on the old "Police Gazette" whose stories were often total fiction to please the easterners who loved wild west stories. Hope this helps some. Shelba in Texas.
