If anyone on the list has access to family histories in Jefferson Co., could you please check to see if you have anything on Edward Butler who came to Jefferson Co., in about 1803? I would also like to request the following: 1850 Jefferson Co. census for Edward Butler on page 275 1850 Jefferson Co. census for William Butler on page 472 1860 Jefferson Co. census for Edward Butler on page 490 If someone could be so kind to check any of this out, I will be very grateful!

I first found a John Tillison in the 1850 census, enumerated with wife Sarah. He was 25, she was 24. They had a laborer living with them by the name of Emanuel Barree. It stated that John was from Kentucky and Sarah from Missouri. In the 1860 census it is spelled Tillotion. Again it is John (35) & Sarah (35) and a hired hand by the name of John Riggs. This time is says Sarah is from Illinois and John from Kentucky. Also in this census right next door to them is an Augustus Tillotion, wife Margaret, Miranda, Martin, Margaret and Amanda Jane. Then in the 1870 census book, I find John Tillotson (46) & Sarah (45), this time Sarah is from MO. again. No one else living with them but right next door is a Martin Tilliotson with wife Jane, and children Sarah, Henry and David. Looks like this Martin is the son of Agustus. Then in 1880 I find John (55) farmer from Ky. His parents also from Ky. Wife Sarah, Keeping house, from MO. as well as both parents. The only other Tillotson in this census book is a Julia, age 14, living with and working for the Wull family. Interesting though, Curt Wull has a wife by the name of Emeline and a daughter Rosalie. Hope this helps some and if you want you can contact me for the ages of all I listed at lwhansel@aol.com
I have just been informed that it was indeed Adam House that was killed by the Indians in 1800. Desoto Joe/The Record Man

I have seen two versions of this so far. From "Goodspeed History of Franklin, Jefferson, Washington, Crawford & Gasconade Counties. 1880." & "Our Jefferson County Heritage by Zoe Booth Rutledge, 1970." They both relate the events very closely, But Goodspeed names the person as Adam Head, while Zoe's version says Adam House. I'm leaning towards Zoe, because she stated that her source was translated from Spanish military documents & hey, her brother was married to my Aunt ;~) In a nutshell, in 1800 Adam, (Head - House) was living in House's Springs. A group of Osage Indians came by & decided that he should no longer be allowed to reside there. They killed him, cut off his head, put a piece of maple sugar (that old Adam had made himself) in his mouth & put his head in the fork of an old Elm tree by the big spring. Adam's son was badly wounded, but he managed to escape while the Indians were amusing themselves with his father. He made it to Kimmswick settlement & related just what was going on back at the homestead. Adam must have been a likable guy, because all the settlers took off after these Indians for revenge. They were led by a William Mars, who was elected Captain of the band. The Indians took off & the chase was on. The settlers finally overtook them at Indian Creek in Washington County & killed as many as they could get their hands on, driving off the rest. Of course, if you were an Osage, the story may have been told differently. The events here really need further investigation for those who may be related to the participants, because two different sources quoted two different names. I have access to some documents that may tell more on this & if I ever get my busy butt over there, I'll let everyone know what is on them. I'll see if I can get to them this weekend.

Regarding the Adam HOUSE citation, I think BILLON's source of the "gruesome" details was from one of the interviews in the Draper manuscripts, where I recall also reading it. I forget which interview, but check one of the Draper guides, and from there you can get to the microfilm of the notes Draper took from his interviews. Rick Saunders

Looking for "date of death" , Obit, cemetery? > Kind Regards, > sherrain > > CALVIN M. CLOUD. This gentleman is the son of William and Rebecca (Mitchell) Cloud, and was born in Hawkins county, Tennessee, June 24, 1820. His father was a native of Virginia, and a soldier of the war of 1812. His mother was a native of South Carolina. In 1887 his parents moved to Jefferson county, Mo., and in 1838 to this county, and settled at the Hunt Spring, where they took a large tract of land. Mr. Cloud, Sr., lived there until 1856, and then moved to California, where he died in 1867. Calvin M. has lived in Clay township since 1838, and consequently is one of the oldest settlers in that part of the county. He was badly wounded by bushwhackers during the war. They were trying to steal some of his horses, and shot him while he was in his own yard. He carries the bullet in his body to this day. Mr. Cloud has held the office of justice of the peace for eight years, and only one of his cases has ever been reversed by a higher court. 'Squire Cloud is one of the prosperous, reliable citizens of the county, and one in whom all have implicit confidence. He was married April 8, 1847, to Miss Kershner, daughter of John and Martha (Amos) Kershner, of Greene county, Missouri. Their union has been blest with ten children, all living, viz.: Susanna F., John J., Mary E., Martha M., Thomas H., Sarah R., Lucy A., William B., Harriet E. and Edward C. Squire Cloud has had twenty-seven grand-children, twenty-five of whom are living.
