The Frances listed in the 1850 census appears to be Noah Stanley's second wife (Frances Bennet). They were married January 26, 1845. Frances' son Noah Bennett is living in the household in the 1850 census. They are in Coon Creek, Jasper Co. in 1860, but my Noah Bennett is probably married. Anyone know where he went? It is believed that Frances Bennet Stanley was married to my Joseph Bennett and had son Noah Bennett. Joseph died between 1840-1835 in an accident at his mill on the Eleven Point River. Does anyone has any more information on this family? I welcome info on the Stanley and Bennett family. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

But I am researching Mary Jane HUBBS, born in 1889 also in Joplin, Jasper County, Missouri. Her parents were James HUBBS and Elizabeth BRIGHT, who were married in 1882 in Mississippi County on the eastern edge of Missouri. She traveled by wagon train from St. Joseph, Missouri to Roxton, Texas when she was still a girl. There, she later married James Monroe BURROW in 1908. I would like to hear from anyone else who may be researching these Hubbs or Bright families of Missouri. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

You could go directly to the Courthouse, but being able to tell them exactly what records you want Book and Page seems to speed up the process. It's also cheaper to just get xerox copies instead of stamped and certified, unless you think you might need the legal proof sometime.

Yes, they may have divorced, but they may have also remarried. The certificate has him married, Rilma as his wife's name, then has the informant as Rilma Wiggins. It might be possible that the two Rilma's are not the same person. But the certificate, you would hope, would be correct that he was actually married, at the time of his death, to a Rilma. Since you have the death date, place of death and circumstances there should be something, if not an obit, in the local papers, such as Carthage and Joplin. http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mojasper/genie.html I do know the Joplin Public Library Reference librarians did check their obit listing and microfilm newspapers and they were not very expensive at the time.

I did determine that Nelson's name was actually Thomas Nelson. I found the MO death certificate records online and that is where I obtained the wife's name as "Rilma." Obviously this was an error. As he died in 1941 and she remarried in 1923, it would appear that they divorced. Perhaps one of the reasons for his suicide. Still hope to locate a newspaper article regarding his death in Jopline, MO. Thanks again for your help. Revae Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
