My mother is a "Wood" born and raised in Wright and Greene Counties in MO. I don't know how reliable her 87+ yrs. memory is at this time... but she says that her grandmother, Nancy Ann Rogers, was raised by HER sister, Harriet (Rogers???), and Harriet married a man whose family name was "Heffner or Hefner". This would have been in the 1880's give or take 20 years, since my mother was born in 1920 and "Harriet Hefner" was alive at that time because my mother said her siblings and many of her cousins often went to "Aunt Harriet" for advice. I believe Harriet came from TN (as did all the Wood, Rogers, & Foster lines in my mother's family)before MO. Now, as I said, my mother's memory, at this point is somewhat weak, and she (of late) has been "mixing up sides" of her family in conversation to me. So, the other family names involved (in case she's got them reversed) are Denison, B! oyer, and Lassiter (these, I believe, are on her mother's side -- who was a Denison who married a Wood). Hope any of this helps you, since your msg. that I am responding to said "any Hefner info. in MO at all". VTY, Jean Fisher-Coogler
