Dear Listers.............. Can someone tell me if there is an 1820 Jefferson Co Census, or an 1820 MO or Louisiana census? Can someone look on it, if it exists, to see if Samuel McKay or McCoy is listed with a wife and at least 1 son bet 0-5, and perhaps a dau bet 0-5? I believe he would have been living in or near Jefferson Co, St Louis Co, or one of the others right near by. Also, would someone check the 1840 actual census for Samuel McKay\McCoy in Jefferson Co most likely with wife and at least 2 sons 10-15, and at least 2 dau 10-15, and at least 1 dau 5-10? For some reason they were left out of the printed book, but someone told me they saw him in the actual census. I am unable to read microfilm, and would really appreciate the lookups and copies. I'll gladly pay for them. Thanks Lynn McKay, TN

Posted on: Jefferson County Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Mo/Jefferson/338 Surname: Waggener, Kenner, Swink, Sturdivant ------------------------- Barbara- In Howard Litton's book, "History of Jefferson County, Missouri and Festus and Crystal City, Missouri" on page 19, William is mentioned: "Captain William Moss, grandfather of Sheriff T.B. Moss, was a early settler on Sandy Creek. He came to Jefferson County about 1797." I am guessing that you have seen this, but perhaps not. I know these are not the specific answers you were looking for, but perhaps they're a start. It appears to me that William was still alive and living in Jefferson County in 1850. From the 1850 Federal Census in Jefferson County, Missouri, taken September 21, 1850, household #641: Moss, William; age- 86, male, farmer, real estate- $500, brn- VA Judith; age- 71, female, brn- VA This guy is certainly old enough. Whoever they are, neither William or Judith are on the 1860 census in Jefferson County. I know these are not the specific answers you were looking for, but I hope they help in some way.

Dean- I find your James on the 1880 census in Jefferson County, but not on the 1870 census there. It seems funny that you would have them married in 1866 in Jefferson County, but they're not on the 1870 census. This could be an omission on the part of the enumerator or the transcriber (the censuses I have are transcribed). From the 1880 Federal Census in Jefferson County, Plattin Township, taken June 9, 1880, household #139: Martin, James L.; age-36, male, head of household, married, farmer, brn- TN, par brn TN/ TN Mary; age- 30, female, wife, married, keeping house, brn- MO, par brn- KY/ TN (I think this is father/ mother) Pherody; age- 13, female, daughter, at home, in school, brn-MO, par brn- TN/ MO Thomas; age- 11, male, son, works on farm, in school, brn- MO, par brn- TN/ MO Robert; age- 9, male, son, in school, brn- MO, par brn- TN/ MO James; age- 7, male, son, in school, brn- MO, par brn- TN/ MO Alice; age- 5, female, daughter, brn- Mo, par brn- TN/ MO Ida; age- 2, female, daughter, brn- MO, par brn- TN/ MO Now there is a James Martin of about the same age on the 1850 and 1860 censuses. He doesn't seem to have the same parents that you thought he should have, but let me send the records and you could figure it out. From the 1850 Federal Census in Jefferson County, District 42, taken August 10, 1850, household #84: Martin, James; age- 60, male, laborer, brn- KY Rachel; age- 40, female, brn- IL Eliza Jane; age- 17, female, brn- MO Margaret; age- 14, female, brn- MO John; age- 12, male, brn- MO Sarah; age- 10, female, brn- MO James; age- 7, male, brn- MO Daniel; age- 6, male, brn- MO Matilda; age- 3, female, brn- MO Lewis, Thomas; age- 1, male, (pauper) brn- MO From the 1860 Federal Census in Jefferson County, Central Township, Hillsboro Post Office, taken September 2, 1860, household #153: Marten, Rachel; age- 33, female, domestic work, real estate- $300, personal property- $140, brn- PA Margt.; age-24, female, brn- PA Jno.; age- 21, male, laborer, brn- MO James; age- 17, male, brn- MO Matilda; age- 10, female, brn- MO Mary; age- 8, female, brn- MO I hope I haven't given you more questions than answers.

Hi all! My apologies for not getting to updates and additions as quickly as I (and you) would like - just started a new full-time job today (yuk!), but found time this evening to convert to .pdf format three of the Jefferson County cemeteries that Dave Hallemann has sent me articles/photos on and got them uploaded to the Jefferson County Historical Society's site. Here is a description: Harrison-England Graveyard (5,000KB) - near Joachim Creek - this is a big file, but worth it - 17 pages w/photos! Isaac Stroud Baker Cemetery (1,100KB) (4 pages) Robertson Cemetery (3,450KB) - near De Soto - this is also a big file, and, again, worth it - 13 pages w/photos! You can download these articles at <a href="http://www.rootsweb.com/~mojeffer/jchs/index.html">http://w ww.rootsweb.com/~mojeffer/jchs/index.html</a> and just click on the CEMETERIES link!
