I will send you a picture of Bannister if you wish. The following was sent to me by on of Bannisters decendants. The transcription of the will is all that I have of it. If there is more I am unaware, but you are definitely right, there are two missing, and none of them predeceased John, but those two appear to have been born before John and Mary were married in 1760. Below is the information I have on John and Mary's children. Jane and Nancy are missing from the will. The paper I have is a copy of a copy and it was transcribed in 1978, with no footnotes, authentication, or anything else at the bottom. Sorry. I will attach Michael's will to this message. It is in a little better order and has proper notations at the bottom that would be expected to appear on a legal document. Hope you have better luck at reading it. Dave -B ===================== 1.

Do you have records that say that Cornelius Hickey was his brother. I looked on ancestry.com and read where Cornelius married a Juda or Judah(no last name). They had a daughter named Nancy that married a John Little. A John Little is my gggg greatgrandfather. John and Nancy had a son named Isaac Little. I have a picture of him and also pictures of his daughter and grandchildren. Isaac features were: Tall- 6'4" Blue eyes Dark complexion Very slim His daughter Frances Elnora Little Evans and some of her children had the same features. After Isaac's death due to conjestive lung failure while a member of the US Army 7th TN Cav. his wife Elizabeth Roberts Little married a William French. The 1970 or 1980 Census shows that none of the children of Isaac and Elizabeth that were living in the household of William renchcould read or write. Francis Elnora Little Evans my great grandmother said she was 1/4 Cherokee. She spoke broken English. She wore long black dresses and wore her hair in a bun. Her daughters dressed the same way. What I am trying to prove is that Cornelius's wife Judah was of Cherokee lineage. Does any of your records show this. I have talked to several other descendents of John and Nancy and they have the same features as Isaac.

Dr. Eugene C. Mouser Jr. Dr. Eugene C. Mouser Jr., age 77, of Joplin, Mo., was born April 3, 1929, in El Dorado, Kan., the son of Eugene C. Mouser Sr. and Mary Lankston Mouser. In 1943, the family moved to Drumright, Okla., where Gene completed high school in 1947. While in high school, Eugene took a serious interest in band and became skilled playing the trombone. Following graduation from Drumright High School in 1947, he attended Oklahoma A&M College (now Oklahoma State University), where he majored in music education. Gene was a member of Kappa Kappa Psi honorary band fraternity and Phi Mu Alpha music fraternity. While an undergraduate, he performed with the college band and orchestra, the ROTC band and campus dance bands. He received his bachelor of music education on May 28, 1951. Gene taught band and vocal music in western Oklahoma four years then returned to his hometown, Drumright, to teach band and vocal music in 1955, while resuming studies for a master of science degree in education administration. Gene continued teaching band and vocal music for 15 years in Oklahoma, earning his master of science degree in education administration on Aug. 4, 1956, from Oklahoma State University. He continued teaching instrumental and vocal music at Drumright for 11 years while attending Oklahoma State University in advanced studies, where he obtained certification in student counseling. During the summer of 1966, Eugene and his family moved to Stillwater in order to work at Oklahoma State University and pursue a doctorate in education. While studying at OSU, Gene counseled for three years in the College of Engineering, assisting freshmen and international students in the office of the dean of the College of Engineering. In the summer of 1969, the family moved to Weatherford, Okla., where Eugene took a one year assignment as dean of men at Southwestern State University. In August 1970, the Mouser family moved to Joplin where Gene accepted a position at Missouri Southern State College (now Missouri Southern State University), as director of counseling and taught psychology. He was named to a full time counseling position in 1971 and was director of counseling and testing. He earned a doctor of education degree at OSU July 28, 1972. He was a member of Byers Avenue United Methodist Church and formerly a member of the Evening Exchange Club and Range Line Lions Club. While at Missouri Southern State College, Gene was director of counseling and testing from 1970 to 1988. In 1988, he was appointed to the position of registrar serving as associate professor, registrar and served in that capacity until retirement in 1997. He was devoted to education for 45 years. His favorite recreation times were playing trombone and baritone in the Ozark Festival Orchestra at Monett, Mo., performing classical music in the orchestra as well as a six piece brass ensemble. Through the years he also performed with the MSSU Band and Orchestra, the Carthage Community Band and other groups. Another fulfilling phase for Gene was woodworking in his home shop at his home. He had a fine skill for furniture as well as detailed items and enjoyed sharing his work with family and friends. Gene and La Vaughn Culp Mouser were married at the First United Methodist Church in Drumright on March 24, 1951. La Vaughn survives and resides at the family home. Additional survivors include three sons, Eugene C. Mouser III (Janet), of Olathe, Kan., William R. Mouser, Yukon, Okla., and Jeffrey Culp Mouser (Judy), of Cassville, Mo.
