Would Tim and Jody who helped me with this cemetery's location please contact me off list at the below address. Thanks. Dave Hallemann Sleuth.Em@sbcglobal.net

Well, this request gave me a good laugh. It seems quite a stretch to ask the list to name the person you spoke with, as only you (and she/he) would have access to that information! If you follow this link, it will get you the name and email of the person who normally handles probate record photocopy requests. http://www2.jeffco.edu/library/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=103 &Itemid=104 May I suggest you copy this link into your "Favorites" folder, so it will be available for future reference? It might also be wise to take note of who you speak to regarding any genealogy-related request. For example, it might be valuable to the History Center librarian to know who at the library told you Jefferson College does not handle requests for probate records. Another way to find this link is to search the archives of the MOJEFFER list. It appears in many of the threads related to the subject "Probate Records". To insure you have the information you need (other than requesting the list to supply it time and again), make a folder in your email system to store relevant messages for future reference...your own personal archive. That way, you may be able to solve information requests on your own, using the list as your "memory bank" only when your own efforts to retrieve readily-available data fail. It is always a good idea to thank the people who help you with your requests off-list, so as not to clutter the archives with such messages. ----- Original Message ----- From: "richard van wagenen" <rckhound68111@yahoo.com> To: <MOJEFFER@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, January 22, 2007 12:38 PM Subject: [MOJEFFER] Probate Records > Back in November, I ordered a probate record from > Jefferson College.

Back in November, I ordered a probate record from Jefferson College. However, due to some unexpected bills, I was able to send payment until this month. I just received a phone call from the College, and the lady that I spoke with states that Jefferson College does not handle Probate Records. And then the lady wanted to know who I spoke to about ordering the probate record and I couldn't remember her name. I need the person's name in case the college calls back regarding this issue. Sincerely, Richard Van Wagenen

Assumption Catholic, Rankin, Tilden, Gov. Dunklin's Grave along with Herculaneum City are all cemeteries in Herculaneum.

The same goes for me.

Strange as it seems (even to me), this has the markings of a subtle phish. Surely not even Ancestry.com would stoop so low, but then... Perhaps the author is asking for help in deciding what to do about having received such a message. Are there any Ancestry.com police that will tell them this is against some rule? Is this in the same class as the British Lottery or representatives of dead Nigerians just waiting to send me hundreds and thousands of pounds sterling? As there is need for clarification before a response can be offered to the lister, was it worth the Co. Coor. replying to the whole list, rather than directly to the person who posed the question? ----- Original Message ----- From: "MoJeffer Admin & Co.

Morning Jim, Not sure what are you needing help with concerning the email. Sounds like the original person sent you a link from Ancestry but if you don't have the subscription yourself, you won't be able to view it. You'll need to contact the original person for a downloaded copy of the record. :) LaDonna Garner, CG(SM) -------------------------- List Administrator Mojeffer-admin@rootsweb.com Certified Genealogist(SM) and CG(SM) are service marks of the Board for Certification of Genealogists(R) and used here under license.

can anyone help me concerning a message that i received concerning my search on the TOLIVER DAVIS name.The message i received came from, _vweissenbach@aol.com_ (mailto:vweissenbach@aol.com) with the subject "check out this last name of toliver i am working on davis no luck". The message was sent to me and _rckhound68111@yahoo.com.It_ (mailto:rckhound68111@yahoo.com.It) then channeled me into ancestry.com to join up. -thanks Jim Davis

"Lunch will be served at the Shoe Factory from this week on, beginning Monday. The eatables will be sent from St. Louis each morning and a hearty meal may be partaken of at noon for the small sum of ten cats. A rest room and other luxuries are being added for those employed at the factory." I thought this was a humoruous mistake in this quote from the Jefferson Record for 1-18-1917. I mean no offence to the transcriber, as I really appreciate what they are doing. Ellen MacKenzie

Wade Johnston, a son of Benjamin Johnston, III and Katherine Byrd, was born in Jefferson County, Missouri in 1832. In the 1920's, Wade Johnston's daughter, Effie, recorded many of her father's earlier life recollections. "THE FAREWELL PARTY AND THE HASTY DECISION On April 3, 1854 brother Austin and I played for a farewell party at the home of Billie Ellington's mother, Mrs. Sutherland. It was given for Billie Ellington, Jacob Mershbarger, Hal Richardson and the Hensley brothers, all of whom were to start for California in the morning. Just before daylight the Hensley brothers backed out. Then Hal Richardson came to me and said "Do you want to go to California?" I replied "I expect to go some time." He said "Now is your chance. I'll furnish you with a horse, saddle and bridle, and grub you through to go as a cattle driver." And I consented to go. I had to walk four miles back home to get my clothes. My father was not at home. Sarah and Emma were the only ones at home. Moriah was at Mrs. Waters'. Enfield and cousin Betty Byrd were at Mag Winers. Mag was the only one of my sisters married then. Sarah and Emma got my clothes ready. I had hard work to make them believe I was going to California. They gave the Hensley boys fits for backing out. If the others had been there, I guess they would have held an indignation meeting. I didn't eat any breakfast. It was drizzling rain. The grass was about two inches high. And with my clothes and my violin under my arm we said good-bye for five years. Then, I had to walk seven miles to the Meramec to catch up with the train. On the way I passed Richardson's place, and Virginia Richardson walked with me down to the Meramec. WHEN THE EYES SPEAK THE GENTLE GOOD-BYE A crowd had gathered at the Meramec River to see us off. Perhaps fifty people. My father was there. [Whatever took place between Wade Johnston and his father at the Meramec affected him so deeply he couldn't talk about it without choking up and changing the subject.] We said good-bye for five years. And with two four ox wagons and a hundred and thirty head of cattle, we started for California on April 4, 1854. The Train consisted of eleven men, Hal Richardson, the boss, Billie Ellington, Jake Hirshbarger, James Gamble, Jacob Snyder, Gideon Adams, John Q. Adams (no relation), Jo Martin, who kept a diary, Lewis Fine, from Arkansas, Yankee Bill ( I didn't learn his sir name) who joined us at St. Joseph Mo., and myself Wade H. Johnston." **** Wade Johnston's cousin, Betty Byrd Hascall, wrote in 1922 "The Johnstons were a very agreeable and happy family... I often think of when Wade left for California. Enfield and I were at Margaret Winers staying all night. When we got home Sarah said 'Wade has gone to California.' I knew home was broke up. Charley gone, now Wade gone. I sat out on the porch and cried for a long time. When I think of it now I can hardly keep back the tears..." ****************** Wade Johnston lived the remainder of his life in California. He is buried in Calaveras County, California. Effie Johnston donated her papers and father's recollections to the Calaveras County Historical Society. submitted by Alice McGuffie

Janet, It's Wake County. I did a Google search and typed "Raleigh, North Carolina county". The first entry was Wikipedia, which is a great research spot. I'm also researching some of the same names, primarily DEGONIA, DEGAGNE at this time. Are you researching the Morse Mill, MO Degonia's?

Can anyone tell me if there are records for 1895-1910 births in Jefferson Co. The state archives only have earlier and later births....are there any records?
