Posted on: Jefferson County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mo/Jefferson/10475 Surname: Pinson, House, Turley ------------------------- Dear Bettye: A few years ago we visited the Blackwell Missouri area searching for Pinson ancestors possibly buried in the old Blackwell cemetery on the Wallen property located near the old Masonic lodge in St. Francois County Missouri. My Pinson ancestor married into the Adam House family of Washington County Missouri. I believe there were also Turleys in our ancestry but have not been able to confirm this. They attended the Providence Baptist Church in St. Francois County and are buried in the Germania Cemetery across the road from the church. I am interested in the "Blackwell Missouri & Beyond" book you mentioned. Where is the DeSoto Public Library and how much is the book? Would be interested in corresponding with you.
