    3. My husband's ancestor Mary Wilson, wife of John Wilson, is thought to be the daughter of Bartholomew Herrington but no one has ever found proof although I am still looking. John and Mary had a son Bartholomew H. Wilson but we have never found proof for what the H stands for and he may have been named after a friend rather than a relative.

Right off the top of my head, I think she was buried at Belews Creek Cemetery & re-interred at the Herrington Cemetery. Her father was a revolutionary war soldier I believe & he is buried there also. The next day off I get (weather permitting) I'll stop by & see what is there, because quoting off the top of my head can lead to inserting my foot in the mouth. There is a stone erected by the Herrington family there in June, 1999, that reads "In memory of the slaves and descendants buried in these two unmarked rows." Desoto Joe/The Record Man

    1. [MOJEFFER] Vite inquiry
    2. I am looking for my ggrandfather, Dr. John Vite, MD, and his family. They were in the St. Louis area from 1867 till 1870 or 1871. John Vite graduated from the St. Louis College of Medicine in March 1870. He worked at the Koch Hospital ( then known as the Quarantine Hospital) during his schooling and after graduation. This hospital was south of St. Louis and near or in your county. John Vite was married to Emma Levica Taylor Vite and they had 4 children. Emma and two of the children, Charlie and Ella, died "of eating poison toadstools thinking them to be mushrooms" in about 1869 or 1870. I have found no census record of this family in the 1870 census records nor any record of these deaths. Could anyone check your census records or death records or any other available resources to locate any information about this family? Bill Zucker Sandusky, Ohio

WATTERS, JOHN T. Our highly esteemed friend John T. Watters, was born at Pilot Knob, July 26, 1888 and was transferred to his heavenly inheritance from Festus, Mo., September 13, 1918, aged 30 years, 1 month and 18 days. For the last few years he had been afflicted with consumption, coming to him so young and in the midst of life's greatest hopes, was a great trial to his faith and patience. But this trial only helped to subdue his will and produce in him the beautiful elements of patience and submission. He was always naturally of a cheerful disposition, and even amid his troubles and the disappointment of life, he was helpful and full of cheer. He naturally longed and hoped finally to get well, but at last there came to him the consciousness of the end, when loved ones themselves could not discern the fact. Mr. Watters lived in Festus the past ten years and was confirmed in the Lutheran Church two years ago, to which he was a very devout member. Funeral was held from the residence of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. O. Watters, Sunday afternoon thence to the Lutheran Church where the services were held by Rev. Jos. Frenz, after which the remains were laid to rest in Gamel Cemetery. He leaves to mourn his demise, father, mother, wife and two sisters. ----- CARD OF THANKS We wish to extend our thanks to our neighbors and friends for their services rendered during the illness and death of our dear son and brother; also to Rev. Frenz, Fink and Duester; and we also feel very greatly for the beautiful floral offerings. Mr. and Mrs. E. O. Watters ----- Descendants of John T. Waters John T. WATERS (son of Edwin O.

HARRISON was 18 years old, her siblings were, William J, 16, Josiah R., 15 years old and Sarah J., 11 years old.

Children listed with them are: Benjamin (Could this be George B?) age 16, Oscar (Chase/Charles?) age 14, Elizabeth age 7, Burnside age 6, Kate age 5, Sheriden age 4 and Lucy age 1.

But there is no proof that they are one and the same person. It is unknown when and where William and his wives, died or are buried, or what happened to their children. marykell@aol.com

Dec. 5, 1912 and died June 1975. I don't know if this is the same Fred though. It's possible as Anna died in 1913 and supposedly he was a baby when Anna committed suicide.

Pauley husband, w, 34 born MO Annie Pauley, wife, w, 27 born MO Since Washington County census records Annie/Anna was born 1886 and the census was 1910.

    1. [MOJEFFER] Early land grant information sought
    2. Hello list! I have found a tiny clue in my recent research on John Piatt/Pyeatt (http://www.angelfire.com/ar/pyeatt/JohnP.html ) of Jefferson Co, MO. I had known for years that John had a large tract of land (Spanish Land Grant) from before 1790 in Jefferson County and that there are many records (I have abstracts of many) of his attempts to have this claim confirmed. Recently, a Hildebrand researcher from Lansing, IL, mentioned this claim and said that it had been denied because he had already received a claim. Now, this was the first that I have ever heard or realized that there were two pieces of property involved. And, since John's children sold their share of his property 'claimed by John and his father' in 1845 - I just ASSUMED (Oh, the shame of it!) that he had eventually had the claim confirmed. Now, I am starting to wonder if he and his father (whose name I do not know!) had received a land claim together that I should get original records for in case it names the father. So, here's the question! What is the best/easiest/cheapest/etc. way for me to go about finding out exactly what property John owned and getting an original to scour for more clues? Does anyone know anything about James Richardson? He was some some of agent on John's claim and I've seen his name several times as an agent for others. Below are some abstracts from various 'Missouri Pioneer' type books. Can anyone tell me if they refer to the same grant or two different ones? John Pyatt, claiming four hundred and sixty-two arpents of land, situate on the Negro fork of the river Merrimack, district of St Louis; Produces to the Board a survey of the same, dated the 21st January, and certified 17th February, 1806. Testimony taken, August 20, 1806. James Richardson, sworn, says that he knew the above claimant on the said tract of land about fifteen years ago; that he raised two crops on the same; that, in the year 1790, he was driven away by Indians; that he remained out until the year 1800, when he went back on said land; that, in 1801, he planted a crop of corn, and was again driven away; that some of the farmers were killed by the Indians in 1803; that, although not residing on said land, he still continued the cultivation of the same, and raised four crops; that, in the year 1805, he went again on said land, and has actually inhabited and cultivated it to this day. June 18, 1810: Present, Lucas, Penrose, and Bates, commissioners. It is the opinion of the Board that this claim ought not to be granted.

Abraham HELDERBRAND, being duly sworn, says that he is 51 years of age. That in 1802, he helped said PAYETT to raise a house on the land claimed. That in the fall of 1803, he passed by said place and eat some water melons, which grew on said land, and saw a small patch of corn growing, and, in the same fall, the Indians becoming troublesome, he moved to the Marameck Settlement, about 12 miles below, and returned, as well as witnessed recollects, in the spring of 1805, and lived there till his death. Witness, further, says that his own farm lies about 6 miles from the land claimed, and that he has lived there for 32 years. That he recollects that said PAYETT lived on the land claimed since, he, witness, was about 10 years old, during which time the said PAYETT inhabited said place, except when compelled by the Indians, at different times, to leave the said place. Jonathan HELDERBRAND, being duly sworn, says that is in his 50th year. That in 1801 or 1802, he cannot say which of those years, he passed by said PAYETT's house, but did not see any white person there. He found an Indian with whom he passed the (cannot read) in said PAYETT's house. The said Indian being a friendly one and not an Osage, and that in 1805, he saw the said PAYETT living on said place.
