Ross, I, my mother, her father, his father and his father were born in Lawrence County and the story I heard was that the Trail of Tears went through there. But, I suspect that it was some of the Indians that went through there and not necessarily the actual trail. I'm interested in your findings.

Based on that I concluded that the NPS Trail of Tears National Historic Trail crossed the Stone County - Barry County line a little south of the southeast corner of Lawrence County. > > Today I obtained a copy of the NPS Trail of Tears National Historic Trail Comprehensive Management and Use Plan -- Map Supplement from the library. I have not analyzed the text and sources yet. However, Northern Route Map No. 53 shows the Trail crossing from Stone County into Barry County a little more than 1/2 mile south of the southeastern corner of Lawrence County. The Trail is just on the north side of Crane Creek as it crosses the Stone County - Barry County line -- about in the middle of the eastern edge of Section 36, Township 26 North, Range 25 West. It continues west-southwesterly to Madry. > > I am not questioning the other maps and statements which indicate that the Trail of Tears went through Lawrence County because I have not analyzed those sources either. It does seem that there needs to be some more research on this. > > Ross Cameron > > -----Original Message----- > >> From: Deb Rowe <kcwordweaver@yahoo.com> >> Sent: Mar 20, 2007 4:41 PM >> To: molawren@rootsweb.com >> Subject: Re: [MOLAWREN] Trail of Tears >> >> Thank you to all who are sharing information. It speeds up the process of trying to learn as much as possible as 'quickly' as possible. Many of you have an awesome knowledge of southwest MO.

It helps little snippets of oral history make more sense. The Lawrence County List has always proven to be awesome.
