George MOTHERSHEAD (b. 21/22 Sep 1866) is my ggfather on my mother's side. His death certificate issued in Weld Co, CO at his death on 29 Nov 1939, lists the following information (supplied by his widow Eva): Date of Birth: September 22, 1866 Birthplace: De Sota, Missouri Name of Father: John Mothershead, born in Missouri Name of Mother: Ann Merle, born in Missouri I believe that "De Sota" is De Soto and that "Merle" is MURRELL. I am working to confirm what appears likely, that "my" George is the George MOTHERSHEAD ("b. 1866 in Jefferson Co") that is the son of John MOTHERSHEAD ("b. February 1832 in MO") that is the son of the Clifton MOTHERSHEAD ("b. 1800 Kentucky") that has been so well documented by JoAnn. The following would be helpful to me if anyone already has them in hand: -A record of George MOTHERSHEAD's marriage in Feb 1891 to my ggrandmother Eva PRUITT (?), which may show witnesses or other information about their families. -Confirmation that JoAnn's John MOTHERSHEAD and Ann MURRELL were in De Soto (as opposed to elsewhere in Jefferson County) in Sept 1866 at the time of George's birth (maybe they owned property there?) I have posted more information on George and his children on the Jefferson Co. MO Board at Rootsweb. Incidentally, my George MOTHERSHEAD family is the one about whose family "m. benson" posted a listing on January 20 2001 when she found them on the 1920 Weld County (Colorado) census while researching another line. Thank you for any help! Susan Thomas
