Can someone advise me about an early (1830's) Jefferson County marriage record? Address to send to? How much? Money order or check? Does it have information (witnesses or parents) or is the information in an index about the same?

Hi, I am glad that I am corresponding with people with an open mind & a lot of Patience. I have this book at home that I thought that I would quote from. The name of the book is: Colonial Ste. Genevieve by Carl J. Ekberg. (Second edition) I am still trying to show that their was people from Missouri who fought in the American Revolution, even if it was not name Missouri at the time. I hope this make some good sense. I have saw many of my surnames in this book & a few DAR Books that is in the library. I really am not a one track person, but I am just trying to make a point. Please let me know if it is working. LOL I am open to positive responses...please be kind with the other responses.LOL "In 1763 the Treaty of Paris ended the French and Indian War (Seven Years' War in Europe), and diplomats in Europe parceled out the territory in the heart of North American continent to new owners: the Illinois Country east of the Mississippi River became British territory and the Illinois Country west of the river became Spanish. This juggling of the geopolitics of North America had profound consequences for the village of Ste. Genevieve. The most obvious one, that Ste. Genevieve was now under Spanish sovereignty instead of French, mattered little at first; the population remained French, and the Spanish monarchy did not assume command of its new province for years to come. More important was the fact that, as the French lost possession of the territory around Fort de Chartres and Kaskaskia, the new overlords, Englishmen, arrived in the Illinois Country....." (pp 40 & 41) "There is no way to determine how many of these casualties came from the Ste. Genevieve contingent. One man surnamed St. Jean was killed, and another with the same name taken prisoner. Given the fact that the militia muster rolls for Illinois from November 1779 list one St. Jean at St. Louis and another at Ste. Genevieve, it may be presumed that Paul St. Jean, voyageur, from Ste. Genevieve, was either killed or captured in defending St. Louis on May 26, 1780............"(p. 67) "At the same time that the Franco-Spanish garrison repelled the Anglo-Indian attack on St. Louis, Colonel John Montgomery and General George Rogers Clark fended off a secondary British thrust at Cahokia across the Mississippi. These British setbacks in the western theater of action are a little-known part of the history of the American revolution. Nonetheless, they prevented Great Britain from seizing control of the lucrative fur trade of the lower Missouri River, and even permitted a joint militia force from St. Louis and Cahokia to seize (and hold for twenty-four hours!) the British outpost at St. Joseph (Michigan) in January 1781. The Franco-American-Spanish successes in the Illinois Country did not demolish the British presence in the Mississippi Valley. They did, however, have a bearing upon the territorial settlement arrived at in Paris during the peace negotiations that concluded the American Revolution: Louisiana remained in Spanish hands, and the Northwest territory became American. (pp. 67 & 68) The violent competition for empire in North America during the 1770s and 1780s, which we call the American Revolution, resolved some of the political complexity in Louisiana: henceforth Great Britain would no longer continuously compete for sovereign control of the Mississippi Valley. In the peace treaties of 1783, Great Britain retained her rights to navigation-and therefore trade and commerce- on the entire course of the Mississippi. She also dominated the fur trade of the upper Mississippi Valley and even, contrary to the peace agreements, refused to give up her outposts there. Nonetheless, although Great Britain several times threatened to attack Spanish Louisiana, after 1783 she was no longer a persistent contender to become sovereign master of the colony...........(p. 68) The period 1783-1803 would determine which of the other contenders-Spain, France, or the United States-could impose its rule upon the uncharted vastness of western Louisiana, which included the important river town of Ste. Genevieve. When Arthur P. Whitaker, wrote that "north of New Orleans the only Spanish posts of any consideration in 1783 were Natchez, Arkansas and St. Louis,...." he neglected to mention Ste. Genevieve. But in 1783 Ste. Genevieve was as large as St. Louis and was a vital part of the trans-Mississippian West, a West that some Americans already coveted as a region for an expanding American empire. As the American Revolution ended, however, the townspeople of Ste. Genevieve could not possibly have foreseen the time when they would become citizens of the aggressive new republic, whose western frontier was now within eyeshot across the Mississippi." ...(p 68) Thank for your patience.

Debbie I will check with my mother in Missouri she might know more about them.. I remember my dad used to know the Chappue family. I believe they lived just outside Festus, Missouri near a place called Horine, Missouri. I have a photo taken in the early 1920s and it has Kermit Chappue, Joseph Chappue and a Robert Chapppue in it (my dad told me who they were a fortunately I put the names with the picture). It is a group picture at a picnic near Horine. It is a little degraded but I believe you can make them out in the picture. I can try to scan it if you are interested.

I snapped Palmer's stone, because he was of the right age to have been in the Civil War. (But so far has not showed up anywhere, but I seem to remember the name.) I should have took one of Jeremiah, because it is so old & interesting. It is lying down on it's back. What was so cool, was the fence still being intact. That is only because of it being in a remote area. I would love to help clean it up, but right now I'm being really pressed for time. I got three hours of sleep & attended a contract negotiations meeting this morning & then right to work. I have to work 12 days straight before my next day off ( have to pay those heating bills :~) I have not been to the Pinson Cemetery, but would love to see it & record the names of those there ( Looking for those Civil War soldiers!)

Joe, What did you think of the Blackwell Family Cemetery? It's a mess isn't it? Jeremiah is my fourth great-grandfather. You wouldn't know anyone that would be willing to help me clean it up, would you? Did you walk up the tracks to get into it, or did you find your way in through the farm? Have you also checked out the old Pinson Cemetery in Blackwell yet?. It's so grown up that it's really a struggle to get through. I was curious about the one lone grave that was outside the fence of the graveyard. I thought you might find it interesting to know that I did a bit of research and came up with a newspaper article. According to this article in the 1880's a hobo asked the Blackwell's for food and shelter and, as they made it a point never to turn away anyone in need, he was taken in. The next morning they found they had a case of smallpox on their hands. The article said that the man died and was buried outside the fence of the old cemetery, but not before infecting others with the dreaded disease. Supposedly the foundation for Jeremiah's old homestead is across the tracks. I hope to get back out there early this spring and try to find it. The last time I was out there, it was about 100 degrees in the shade, and I was afraid I'd have a heat stroke before I found it. B.

Johnson on May 13 1882 in Jefferson CO. I don't know much other than that. Just found the Whaley connection myself.

Posted on: Jefferson County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mo/Jefferson/435 Surname: Johnson, Whaley ------------------------- Do you know the names of the children of Thomas Johnson and Mary Graves?

Does anyone have the Information from the Index book St.Francois County,Mo Cemeties Vol 1 Edition 1.1 on a Mary Larkin 97,100 found on page 357 of this Index. Thanks for the help, Deanna Larkin mlarkin@tampabay.rr.com

I recently checked into microfilms of early Jefferson (then St Louis County or Louisiana Territory) records. The first list is of films which I have ordered and for whom I am willing to scan for your ancestors if you’ll send me a list. The second list is other LDS films in which I am interested. If you have any of these films available to you and would be willing to look up my ancestor (hopefully an index), please let me know. Based on whether my ancestor is indexed on the film, I can decide whether to order it for myself. The third is a list of microfilms available to buy through the Missouri Archives (they have an on-line catalog). In many cases (or all) they will be basically the same roll of film that can be borrowed from the LDS - they just have different titles or descriptions.
