I need some help finding my grgr grandfather Richard L. Lewis in the 1900 Jasper Co census. Richard and his wife Sarah were in Lawrence Co. in 1880 and from records I believe they were living in Jasper Co. by 1900. Any help finding the town and township they were in will be appreciated.

Thank you. All the people listed except Dora are brothers & sisters. Dora is an aunt and my grandfather always referred to her as Aunt Mecklenburg. My grandfather told us he was raised by an aunt who was given custody of them by the courts in Nov of 1879(newspaper) due to the death of his father in Nov of 1879(Joplin- Historical Society newspaper clipping). Nothing was written about my ggmother. My grandfather thought she may have died at childbirth in May of 1879 birthing him. After the death of his aunt, he then went to live with his sister Anna(Miller). They did live in Michigan City, Indiana but I thought he was raised longer in Missouri. I guess not. Later her moved to Otsego, Mich where he worked, married and had 9 children. My father was the oldest and named after his mother's maiden name!! Is it possible that the census records list my ggfather as Jay or J Henckel? There are some references in the family that he may have been called that. Are there 1870 census records? I was told nothing exists in Mo due to a fire and all being destroyed. How would I go about looking for records of the Fairview Cemetery? My "Genealogy Fairy" Brenda in your area found all the info for me @ 1 yr ago that I've been able to locate in Joplin & even sent me photo copies of the newspaper articles from the Historical Society and a cemetery photo of my ggfathers grave. I have been in touch with a Norman Henckel in Missouri, whose gfather possibly was one of my ggfathers brothers or uncles. He says they came over from Germany thru New Orleans @ 1865 to avoid the Kaisers wars and Bismarks pranks. Gosh history is so interesting. Religious/political wars were profitable then & still are today in an odd way. Is Brenda the editor of the Mo Jasper site now? Thank you for your help. It is greatly appreciated. I am in Clev, Ohio- if there is anything in this area you need help with please let me know. -----Original Message----- From: katharan plemmons [mailto:katharan@hotmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 19, 2002 4:08 AM To: MOJASPER-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [MOJASPER] 1870 Census or Land Records I searched the index for the 1880 census and found only one Frank Henkle, born in Missouri.....No father in the household at all...and he is in Indiana...All the Henry's in Missouri were in the St. Louis area...

Our Sheffler line goes back to John K. Sheffler, who was born in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania in 1818. Unless I am reading your message incorrectly, that was before your Nicholas arrived in America. John's father, also named John, was born before 1800 and also in Pensylvania, we're told. He and his entire family, except for John K., were said to have massacred by Indians in 1840. Wish we could be more help, but it appears it may be a different line. Good luck in your search.

Nicholas stayed in Wyoming County, PA, his brothers went West. Could your ancestor be one of his brothers? I have lots of data to share if we match up. I am looking for relatives of Nicholas Shefler, some relatives use Sheffler. His nickname was"Nick." He arrived in the USA about 1834. He was 25/1848 while applying for citizenship. Resided Keiserville, PA. From his naturalization papers I can see he first started citizenship 3-5-1845. The process completed 6-9-1848. He married Mary Anne McCormick from Ireland on the ship coming over to America. He came to the USA from County Byron Birverkine, Germany. He arrived in America with Jud Bush, a settler of Susquehanna County, Pa. His father maybe Werner Shefler, buried in the Keiserville Cemetery also. Three Shefler brothers allegedly came here, two of them going on West, with Nick staying here in Wyoming County, Pa. Any Help would be appreciated.

Surnames: WEBB Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/1MB.2ACI/1944 Message Board Post: Hello all, I'm looking for information on the WEBB surname in the vicinity of Joplin, MO. The line I'm looking for is descended from James WEBB and his wife Eliza (maiden name not known to me), who were in Montgomery Co., Tennessee in the 1880 census. Their children included Donson, Mary, John, Charles, James, Mattie, Ellen, and William. I have a copy of a newspaper obituary from the early 1910's, which stated that Eliza Webb had died in Portales, New Mexico, and that her body was transported to Joplin for burial. The obit also said that a couple of the children were living in Joplin at that time. I am the great-grandson of John WEBB (son of James and Eliza), who died in Alpine, TX in 1914. Please contact me if you are also doing research on this family. Thank you. Bill Cowan
