How familiar are you with the Bourn's of MO? I'm from the small Randolph Co community of Higbee, and am trying to put the finishing touches on a book on its history. It takes its name from the Joseph Higbee family who lived a mile or so from the townsite. They and several other pioneer families came, I believe, from Jessamine Co, KY, and among the sons-in-law of J. Higbee was a J. D. Bourn. The census mentions additional Bourns nearby, and another source indicates there was some sort of stage stop, village, etc., named Bournsville (one source says Bernsville) and of course I've assumed that this was operated by J. D. Bourn. J. Higbee died ca 1849 and was buried at the farm; the remainder of the expanded family moved to the Kahoka area, I believe; I've seen mention of the Higbee's and Bourn's in histories of that vicinity. Any ideas?
