Could someone check the Jefferson County 1880 index for me and see if there is a Samuel Green. It's taking me a long time to find him without an enumeration district.

Hi, I have seen two messages recently that referenced the BYRD surname. One was from Marianne on Aug 21st and the other from Mary Ann on Aug 22nd. Instead of sending a similar reply to both individuals, I decided to send a combined reply to the MOJEFFER group. My father was Joshua BYRD PATTERSON and his father was Walter BYRD PATTERSON. Walter was actually called "BYRD PATTERSON". I have known for some time that there were BYRDs in Jefferson County and I believe that I probably have "BYRD" ancestors somewhere along the line, but I haven't found any yet. Frankly, I've spent more time so far researching my mother's family, partly because I have a lot more living relatives on that side. For whatever it's worth, other known surnames on my father's side are RUTLEDGE, JONES, and SULLENS. My great-great-grandfather, James PATTERSON, was married to Milly (last name unknown). Milly was Walter's grandmother, maybe she was a BYRD. I would appreciate any information that Marianne, Mary Ann, or anyone else in the group might be able to supply. Thanks, Bob Patterson St. Louis, MO BobPat@aol.com

Thought everyone might need a little humor. THE PILLSBURY DOUGHBOY DIED YESTERDAY OF A YEAST INFECTION AND COMPLICATIONS FROM REPEATED POKES IN THE BELLY. HE WAS ONLY 71. DOUGHBOY WAS BURIED IN A LIGHTLY GREASED COFFIN. DOZENS OF CELEBRITIES TURNED OUT TO PAY THEIR RESPECTS, INCLUDING BETTY CROCKER, HUNGRY JACK, THE CALIFORNIA RAISINS, THE HOSTESS TWINKIES, AND CAPTAIN CRUNCH. THE GRAVESITE WAS PILED HIGH WITH FLOURS, AS LONG-TIME FRIEND AUNT JEMIMA DELIVERED THE EULOGY, DESCRIBING DOUGHBOY AS A MAN WHO NEVER KNEW HOW MUCH HE WAS KNEADED. DOUGHBOY ROSE QUICKLY IN SHOW BUSINESS, BUT HIS LATER LIFE WAS FILLED WITH TURNOVERS. HE WAS NOT CONSIDERED A VERY SMART COOKIE, WASTING MUCH OF HIS DOUGH ON HALF-BAKED SCHEMES. DESPITE BEING A LITTLE FLAKY AT TIMES, HE WAS STILL, AS A CRUSTY OLD MAN, CONSIDERED A ROLL MODEL FOR MILLIONS. TOWARD THE END IT WAS THOUGHT THAT HE WOULD RISE AGAIN, BUT ALAS, IT WAS NOT TO BE. DOUGHBOY IS SURVIVED BY HIS WIFE, PLAY DOUGH, AND TWO CHILDREN, JOHN DOUGH AND JANE DOUGH. HE IS ALSO SURVIVED BY HIS ELDERLY FATHER, POP TART. THE FUNERAL WAS HELD AT 3:50 FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES. We all had to wear sun screen so we wouldn't burn.

Was Pleasant Ridge Church the name of Luckey Baptist Church, on Ware Rd, DeSoto back in 1933? And when was the name changed and why? I have the obit of an aunt buried May 1933 which stated "Funeral from Pleasant Ridge Church and interment in Church Cemetery". I know she is buried in the cemetery at Luckey Baptist Church. Thanks for any info. Joyce Roth JRoth23350@aol.com

The Rolla Herald Obits 1918. SAMUEL BRIDGEMAN ROWE 14 Nov 1918 Samuel Bridgeman Rowe was born in Ste. Genevieve county, Missouri, on the 13th day of August 1844. He was the son of William and Nancy Rowe, who were born at Cornwall, England. The deceased grew to manhood in his native county. Before he was twenty years old, to-wit: on August 4, 1864, he was enrolled in the military service of the United States and mustered in as a private in Company B, forty-seventy Missouri Volunteer Infantry. Shortly after enlistment he became a quarter-master sergeant and on Nov. 29th, 1864, he was commissioned as First Lieutenant and Regimental Quarter-master. He was in the battle of Pilot Knob, Missouri. He was mustered out of service with an honorable discharge on April 7, 1865. After the Civil War, Dr. Rowe took quite an interest in organizing the Grand Army of the Republic, and was an active member of Henry Wilson Post, G.A.R. of Rolla. He was commissioned by the National organization as an Aide-de-camp. On his return to civil life Dr. Rowe engaged in the drug business, and conducted a drug store at DeSoto, Mo. In 1866, on March 15th, he united in marriage with Miss Mary CD. Hutchings, of Caledonia, Mo., and to this union four daughters were born: Mrs. M. F. Faulkner and Miss Roberta Rowe, Rolla, MO.; Mrs. Wallace Brennan and Mrs. Vital W. Garesche, St. Louis, all of whom, with their mother survive. Dr. Rowe is also survived by two grandchildren: Lt. Rowe A. Garesche, of the Aerial Observation Corps Hempstead, L. I., New York, and Mrs. Henry F. Bisbee, of Portsmouth, Va. In 1875 Dr. Rowe sold his drug business at DeSoto, and he and his family moved to Rolla, where he bought and conducted a drug store. Later he attended the Missouri Medical College (now Washington University) in St. Louis, from which he graduated with the degree of M. D. in 1881. A few years later he took a post graduate course at this college. Since his graduation he has practiced his profession in Rolla, except for the years intervening between 1893 and 1900, when he and his family resided in St. Louis, where he owned and conducted a drug store, and practiced his profession. Upon returning to Rolla in 1900 he resumed his practice and continued same up to his death, which occurred at the Baptist Sanitarium in St. Louis Thursday, Nov. 7th, 1918, making him at the time of his death 74 years, 2 months and 25 days old. Dr. Rowe was one of the sturdy and substantial citizens of Rolla. In religion he was a Methodist. In politics he was a Republican. In citizenship he was a gentleman of fine instincts, and stood for what he believed to be right. He was intensely honest, and scrupulous in all of his dealings. He was a Mason, and served as Worshipful Master of Rolla Lodge two terms, in 1878-79, and in 1881-82. He at one time was a Royal Arch Mason and served as High Priest of Rolla Chapter of Eastern Star. Dr. Rowe was chairman of the Medical Advisory Board of Phelps County under the Selective Service law, and he was also Assistant Medical Examiner for the Phelps County. In this latter capacity he gave a great deal of his time. He took a deep interest in the war against Germany and followed it in detail every day. Dr. Rowe's remains were brought to Rolla last Thursday night, and were taken to his home. Funeral services were conducted at 1:30 Sunday afternoon from the Methodist Church by Rev. C. S. Hanby, assisted by Rev. L. C. Sappenfield. Following the service at the church the remains were taken in charge by Rolla Lodge of Masons, of which he was an old and faithful member, and with E. J. Koch...remains were laid to rest in Rolla cemetery. The active pallbearers were: Edwin Long, J. G. Campbell, J. A. Spilman, B. H. Rucker, L. E. Garrett, Dr. E. W. Walker, Charles L. Woods, and S. M. Smith. The following were honorary pallbearers: Robert McCaw, William Heller, Chas. M. Knapp, W. J. Kilgore, R. R. Dickerson, P. H. McGregor, Geo. R. Dean, J. B. Scott, Dr. A. L. McRae, E. G. Harris, J. M. Williams, W. H. Ary, and Dr. A. B. Northern. The floral offerings were many and very beautiful. The church was unable to hold the large attendance and the funeral cortege was very long. In the death of Dr. Rowe Rolla has lost one of her most highly esteemed citizens. There were present at the funeral all four daughters, Wallace W. Brennan, and Mrs. Mollie W. Huyette, of St. Louis.

1870 census, plattin Twp shows Gabriel W Byrd age 26 farmer born Mo, $12000 in R/E Mandora age 22 born Mo Percy L age 3 Rome e age 1 Burns, Anna age 19 servent. Gabreil is shown as a child of Benjamin B & Mary A Byrd in 1850. he was age 6 Gabriel W married Mandora M Donnell 8/29/1866 ther is another Gabriel Byrd married Ellen Cole 4/8/1868 Benjamin G left a will, book 1, page 163 G.W Byrd left a will book 4, page 71 Mary ann

Okay guys! I was so happy last night to find some 'significant' information and then couldn't get my stupid email to go through! I mentioned the other day that I thought my (Gabriel) Washington Byrd Pyeatt was probably named after someone in the family or a close friend of his parents, William and Diana Hornsby Pyeatt. I asked if anyone knew anything about T S Byrd who was on William's death certificate in 1912 (thanks to those who responded). Last night I was looking at the Jefferson County, MO, GenWeb cemetery page at the Byrds and spotted the following. "Byrd Percy L. Jun 14 1867 Feb 20 1877 Charter Church parents: Gabriel W & Mandora Byrd" WOW!!! W.B. Pyeatt (as he was usually called) was listed on one census as 'Gabril Pyeatt'. At least now I know that his full name was inded Gabril Washington Byrd Pyeatt and who he was named after. Now, I need to know more about this couple. They evidentally were having children at the same time as William and Diana and this could be a brother-in-law to one of them. Also, I noticed "Byrd Olive May Mar 30 1896 May 11 1897 Hematite Methodist parents: T.S & Jessie O" Could this be the same T S Byrd who is connected to my William? William's mother's name was Olivia McClure or Inks. Please let me know if you have any leads or suggestions!

I am looking for descendants of Robert Jameson, who was in Jefferson Co in the early 1800's. He is listed on the census of 1830 with 2 males under 5, 2 females 5-10 & 2 10-15 and a wife of 30-40. His daughter, Eliza M. was born about 1820. She was my gr. grandmother. Ellem McMullin MacKenzie

I am looking for descendants of Elias Bates who was in Jefferson Co. in the early 1800's. I believe he had sons Elias, & James, and daughters, Adelide and Mary Clarissa (Marie Clarice). The latter was my gr. gr. grandmother. On the census of 1830 he has numerous children living with him, possibly some of his grandchildren. Ellen McMullin MacKenzie dandemac@camasnet.com

John, As usual, I feel as though I am just grasping at straws on a wagon which you've already loaded. I have seen the John and Elisha Piatt/Pyeatt, but, have never been able to tie them to any family. What is your source for Elisha b: 1824 being the son of Jacob and Olivia? It does seem to fit the census enumeration (I have as an unidentified male) for the 1830 and 1840 census for Jacob. I know there are other sons/daughters that I haven't discovered yet. I only know about William Dudley, Andrew McClure and James Benton. John was not given as an heir to John who died c1827, however, I had considered that he might be one of the people in Jacob and Olivia's household in 1840. However, in 1830, Jacob had only one male child under five. So, if he had sons James Benton age 3 and John age 1 - why were they not both enumerated? Do you have any possible names of Jacob and Olivia's daughters? I note in Franklin County, MO, Elisha Pyatt married Mary Meyer 05-17-1881 and Mary F Pyeatt married Nathaniel G Caldwell 12-09-1875. Is this the same Elisha and a relative? And in Gasconade County, MO, Belinda B Pyatt married Samuel H Clubb 12-07-1837 and Rebecca J Pyatt married Hosea H Bridges 12-07-1837. Since these are so early in Missouri, I've always wondered if they were connected to John. However, there is no mention in his estate so they weren't his heirs. Do you know if they were his grandchildren? Could they belong to Jacob and Olivia? Also, St. Louis Co, MO, Sarah Pyeatt married Wilson Sledo 11-14-1836 and you seem to know where she fits in and Agnes Pyatt (daughter of John Pyatt) and Fredrick Wengler 1842 (Per Scharf's "History of St. Louis City & County", Vol. 2, 1883). The only way that I can see her connection to our John would be if she was the daughter of John Piatt who was a son of John Piatt and that her father died before 1827 when John Sr. estate was administered. Anyway, as usual, I have more questions than answers. If you can tell me how these people might possibly be related, I will start looking for wills, etc. to prove same. Thanks again!

Civil War re-enactments a living history lesson in Kimmswick By Bill Phelan Of the Suburban Journals Jefferson County Journal 08/19/2001 06:00 AM Pvt. Zack Haskins went on trial August 11 in Kimmswick. The charges the High Ridge man was facing were serious. If found guilty, Haskins could face a firing squad. He was charged with dereliction of duty and fraternizing with the enemy, and then there was that thing about the judge's sister turning up pregnant. Yes, Haskins was in a fix. After presentations by the defense and the prosecution, a jury of Haskins' fellow soldiers found him guilty. The judge sentenced the young man to death, but not before he would perform a wedding ceremony joining his sister with Haskins to make "an honest woman" out of her. With this act, the woman could collect Haskins' military pension. After saying "I do," Haskins was shot in the town square. The crowd that had gathered to watched laughed and applauded. Haskins got up and went to have a sandwich. The mock trail and execution of Haskins was just one of many opportunities to step back in time at the Kimmswick Civil War Event, held Saturday and Sunday. Hundreds of spectators walked the streets, browsed through the shops and souvenir tents and watched as Union and Confederate soldiers went about their business before the big battle. The event is more than just an opportunity to watch adults play dress-up. It is a step back in time and a living history lesson. Civil war re-enactors take their hobby seriously. They make sure their clothing is authentic down to the smallest detail. Even their tents and cookware have to look like they would have at the battle of Gettysburg or Bull Run. Making sure that all the soldiers have authentic ammunition is the job of Ordinance Sgt. Mike Watson of Fenton, a member of the Turner Brigade. Watson makes paper rifle cartridges by hand. He has been a Civil War re-enactor for 21 years and has been making cartridges for 15 years. During the Civil War, Watson said, thousands of people worked in the arsenals making ammunition by hand. "An average 14-year-old boy working a 10-hour day should be able to make 2,000 (cartridge) tubes," Watson said. Watson's talent has put him in demand. He has done work for filmmaker Steve Spielberg and has appeared in several films as well. "I was in 'North and South Book 2' and I was in 'Glory,' " he said. Capt. Michael Roderman and his wife, Barb, had made the trip to Kimmswick from their home in Salem, Mo. Both have been re-enactors since 1994. They met at a re-enactment. On this day, Mike played a Confederate officer for the Missouri 2nd Artillery and Barb was decked out like a Southern belle. "My ancestors fought for the Confederacy out of Missouri," Mike said. "There's a little bit of rebel in the both of us," he said. Being a civil war re-enactor is an inexpensive hobby. "A typical officer's uniform can cost you between $500 and $600," Mike said. Period outfits for woman can cost about as much, he said. Since nearly all Civil War uniforms were made of wool, the heat can be a real problem for re-enactors. "You just drink a lot of water, try to hydrate yourself and spend a minimum amount of time in the uniform," Mike said. "You have to be real careful." As the day wore on, the rebels took up positions on the north side of the Windsor Harbor Road bridge. The Union Army held the south side. The rebels fired first, but the Union counterattacked and drove the rebels into the center of town. By the time the battle had reached the City Park, the rebels had been defeated and the Union soldiers raised the Stars and Stripes over Kimmswick. The following day, the Confederacy would prevail. Even in re-enacting the Civil War, there apparently is a degree of political correctness. Desoto Joe/The Record Man
