>Who was James first wife and the mother of his children? Any help would be appreciated. If the family is Irish, typically the first daugther is named for the mother's mother, the second for the father's mother, and the third for the mother -- perhaps you are looking for Margaret? Have you found any of his daughter's families yet? The first girl among the grandchildren is likely to be named for her. I agree with your conclusions about this family constellation, too.

Is anyone out there researching this James McCulloch - on the 1850 Census is James 40 b. Mo., Lucinda 26 b. Ky (who I think is probably his second wife), Sarah 19 b. Mo., Minverva 12 b. Mo. Margaret 10 b. Mo. and Wm. G. Alwood or Atwood age 4 b. Mo. My guess is that Lucinda might be the mother of Wm. G. Who was James first wife and the mother of his children? Any help would be appreciated.

Nancy ~ I have an ancestor who was an attorney/lawyer and also Justice of the Peace, he had a title of "Esquire", this was back in the 1700s in New Hampshire. This was all I have on the "Squire", "Esquire" title. Sharon

Nancy, A Justice of the Peace who was a layman who administered local legal proceedings such as marriages, coroner's inquests, preliminary hearings in minor magistrate matters, etc. was often identified with the word "Squire" before his name. A Justice of the Peace often traveled around from town to town within his county or district. I did some research for a gentleman awhile back who had a Justice of the Peace in his family line. I often noticed that he was referred to in newspaper articles with the word "Squire" before his name. I hope this helps.

Looking for information about Oliver Emerson & Elizabeth Rebecca Clark Scudder.

Hi Joan, This is the URL for the portion of Goodspeed that I did. http://www.rootsweb.com/~nebuffal/jeffcomo/ There is a large biographical section at the back of the book that I didn't do at the time that I had the book from the library. I didn't have a scanner then, and typed all the pages that are posted. Scanning those bios is a long range plan, but I'll admit that it's not a very high priority. (I host the Buffalo Co. NEGenWeb pages, and spend most of my computer time on projects for that.) But perhaps there is someone else who has access to the book and could scan the bios.???

This may be a dumb question but...guess I'll ask or I won't know for sure. In regards to court cases, what was a "Squire". I always thought it was a general term for men of prominence but that doesn't explain why a Squire would question a suspect in a murder case. He couldn't or probably wasn't a lawyer as they were referred to as "Honorable" so and so. Can anyone explain? -- Nancy C.

I was just looking through the info Mona put on the web (which I might add, I'm very grateful) and happened to notice a G.M. Mockbee who was a physician in Hillsboro in 1888. Has anyone any information on this man? My great grandfather had a sister, Mary FRY who married a William Mockbee, 29 Jan 1868 in Missouri. I don't have any information on their descendants. I do know she was previously married to a Fidelo Williams and they had two children; James Adrin b. 1856 and Francis b. 1858. The father died in 1859. She was originally from PA but their mother died in Hillsboro and it's very possible this G. M. Mockbee may be his son or at least related somehow. Any of this look familiar to anyone? -- Nancy C.

When Mona Houser was, so generously,contributing so much of the information from Goodspeeds History of Jefferson Co., MO, I copied off the A--Bl-Bo names and for some reason did not get the pages that would contain the surname GRAHAM. Now I'm attempting to find the family of ARAH GRAHAM, that married GILES SYDNEY LEE, 28 October 1838 Can someone tell me where I might find these pages, and are they archived? Or can someone give me any information concerning the early Jeff. MO famililies named GRAHAM? Thanks!! Joan Mullen, Wichita, KS A woman only needs two tools, WD-40 and duct tape, if it won't move when it should use WD-40, if it moves and it shouldn't use duct tape.

I am looking for the family of THOMAS JEFFERSON WRIGHT and LUCINDA BALDWIN. >From what I understand they were born in Burnsville, Braxton County, West Virginia circa 1806. They were in Estill County, KY between 1820 and 1830s, finally arriving in Missouri by the 1850s. Their son JOSEPH S WRIGHT married FRANCES COYLE. Both Joseph and Frances were born circa 1844 and I don't know if they married in KY or in MO. Since ALL of my other surnames are of southern roots, primarily Alabama this migration pattern is a total mystery to me and I could really use some help locating this family. Priscilla

a friend from another one of my mailing list told me about this mailing list yesterday and then sent me a sample copy.

He was killed while in the Union army, but his stone is very hard to make out. G.A.R. post #46, De Soto is named in his honor. He died in 1864? (killed in battle) His stone reads, A soldier for the Union. Killed by or in 1861? engagement? the rest is gone. There is a date that looks like June or July. Anyone have the information about what this stone once said? Desoto Joe/The Record Man

I was invited to view this cemetery today. There are many people here that are excluded from the cemetery records. Those I found there that were in the cemetery records & what was included in the records. Cemetery records say Sarah Hill, but we can see the stone says Sallie C. Hill. This is the same person, because it states she was the daughter of J.T./ The stone continues stating Sallie was the daughter of J.T. & Martha McClain. October 14, 1865 - May 3, 1892. Charley R. McClain / 1866 - 1931 (side by side with Minnie) Jas T. McClain / 1839 - ? (Father - Jeremiah T.) (Wife - Martha Ann ) Martha Ann McClain / 1842 - 1912 (Husband - Jas T.) Minnie McClain / 1871 - 1966 (Stone says 1956 & has her middle initial as B.) (Side by side with Charley R.) Lucy F. McCreary / June 22, 1854 - April 12, 1914 (Cemetery records exclude the death year) (Husband Philander) Philander McCreary / March 13, 1848 - January 31, 1912 (Cemetery records say January 22 as death date & exclude the year) (Wife Lucy F.) (Stone has his middle initial as T.) The rest I found were not in the cemetery records. They were: Children of W.W. & M.B. Shannon (How many ?) Infant daughter of W.W. & M.B. Shannon / January 1, 1891. Charles R. McClain / 1904 -19? (He may be here, or may be interred elsewhere.) Next to him was Frieda M. E. / 1908 - 1968. (His wife?) Charley A. McCreary / February 27, 1871 - November 26, 1901. Robert C. McClain / 1880 - 1911. Stuart Lee / August 16, 1891 - May 31, 1893. L.A. Gibson / 1886 - 1912. Fannie E. Gibson / ? There are a few broken stones, with this info I could read. Lottie F. Daughter of ? March 29, ? - June 17, 18? ? McClain May 11, 1838 . There are remains of a few other stones, but very hard to read. It is believed that there are others, whose stones are gone. Outside of the plot & down the hill, appears to be a few vertical stones used as grave markers. I believe these are slave graves, but not sure. Desoto Joe/The Record Man

I am researching the George Graham family that lived in Jeff County around the turn of the century. The last one, that is. His youngest son, Alfred, is my greatgrandfather. To date I have been unable to locate any records. But I did find him the 1910 census in Saint Louis, where I believe he married and raised his family. I am currently trying to locate the family of his wife, Gemima Kyle. I was told her father was Thomas Kyle, her mother Priscilla Roques. Any clues?
