His "job" was to gather firewood to burn him if the Indian died. He got well but John was kept captive, gaining the confidence ot one Indian enough to go trapping with him and hold down the end of a prypole while the Idian set a trigger under a rock. One day, as King puts it in his book, The History of Maries Ct., John jumped off the pole while the brave was under the rock and "effectually disposed of him." He ran, was chased by Indians and dogs. An Indian sat on the log where he was hiding and dogs came into the log. Apparently they were used to him and didn't bark. He got away, got his hands free the 3rd day, and ate his first meal, a four-foot black snake! Finally made it back to fort. He didn't come into Maries Ct. My line is from Rachel Myers who married Joseph Hutchison in TN. How are you related? I'd be glad to share anything useful. I still have some gaps. Sandy

My great grandfather is on the 1910 Maries County census, but by the 1920 census his wife is in St.Louis listed as widow. I am wondering if Marie's county would have a list some where of obituaries in this time frame. He might not have died in Marie's county but since this was the last place that I found him I thought it is a start. I would really appreciate a reply about this. Thank you.

Duffin I've been following the Ireland/Scotland discussions. The Francis and Rose Duffin clan that settled in Maries County in 1870's came from Glenravel Parish, Skerry, County Antrim Ireland. In the late 1850, early 1860 they moved to Scotland to work in the coal mines at Landmark. There are still Duffin cousins residing there. The Duffins settled in Vienna, Mo. They were Catholic and married into the German Catholic families in Brinktown. Last year I commissioned research with the Ulster Historical Foundation in Northern Ireland. They have a website. FYI Their rates were high and I felt their research documentation was mediocre.

Terry, Its good to hear your notations on the Ulster. I was getting ready to ask for a lookup from them. For Neal McKeever & Bridget Kerr McKeever Hugh & Rose Kerr, William and Bridget Kerr,and Mary Ann Kerr & James McKown of MAries County. My ambition was to find documents here showing a township/parish before hand since they were Catholic. In Kansas City the Irish Church kept track of their Irish parishners home towns and thought Visitation would have too. Although I saw the Kerrs and McKeevers ,neighbors even in the 1851 Antrim census online, I just can't conclude which is our Maries Family. The Kerr/Fitzpatricks of Maries County are alive and healthy in Mission Hills,Ks. I am Kerr/Benton/Skaggs line from Maries .

Good morning Steve: I'm descended from Neal McKeever and Bridget Kerr through their daughter Mary Ann and John Grant (my great grandparents). My grandmother was their daughter Rosalia (I'm assuming the Gaelic version of Rose Ann named for her grandmother Rose Ann (Owens) Grant, wife of W. S. Grant.). Her sister, my great aunt, was Clem Schulte;s mother. The only information I have thus far about the Irish townships is that Rose Ann Owen's parents were Michael and Ann Owens and they immigrated from Killesher Parish in County Fermanagh, Ireland. They are the ones who donated the land where Owens Cemetary is located. I think these folks were somewhat familiar with one another from Ireland because all these counties seem to lay relatively close to one another. As for the Kerrs being Catholic although Scottish we used to have a parish priest in St. Louis named Father Lietram who was from Scotland. Although not the most popular religion in Scotland, it did exist there despite persecutions from both the Church of England and the Presbyterians. I guess that made them the types of rebels the Irish could really relate to and chances are the English were happy to have them out of Scotland and in Ireland where they could have all their rebels in one spot and therefore easier to watch over. An interesting sidenote to this conversation. I went to the University of Missouri at Columbia in the late seventies and early eighties and had a friend named Dan Briggs. One night we went out for a couple of beers and he made the remark that he wished he had a book his uncle owned about the history of Maries County. I told him my dad's family was from Maries County and his mother's name was Grant but she was also descended from McKeevers. Turns out that we were distantly related. Small world after all.

Steve: I too am descended from the Kerrs and McKeevers. I was intrigued by your reference to "Carpet Baggers" during the Civil War. Did they possibly mean bushwhackers or Jayhawkers? I know that the bushwhackers were somewhat active in the Maries County area and if they were active and could be tracked down that usually meant the Jayhawkers would be active there as well. Most of my research points to a relatively clean war throughout Missouri, i.e., although there was much in the way of murder and theft women were generally left alone. The explanation I have been given for this is that even if the combatants were on different sides they knew each other fairly well and molesting one's loved ones invited repercussions from the other side. That is not to say it did not occur. During Price's Raid (1964-65) there are documented cases of women in Franklin County being accosted if not actually raped. The term Carpet Bagger came into vogue after the Civil War and usually referred to a Northerner sympathizer who loaded everything they owned into a cloth suitcase and used political connections to move into conquered Confederate territory for personal, political or economic gain. The excesses of carpet baggers was one of the prime causes for the rise of the Ku Klux Klan in the southern states.

Jim, I have truely heard both terms used, by up to seven different family members version.I could not tell the difference between the groups. How are you related? Bridget,Hugh,William,Patrick, Mary Ann,and James KERR were siblings who came over from the Emerald Isl. between 1845-1870s I come from Patrick Kerr who married Margaret Lucretia Benton (Also said to have been a rape child-French-Indian). Check page 308 of Maries county book-Hair COAL BLACK til she died at 70. (Child of Nancy Skaggs and Mathew Benton). As you know Bridget and Neil married in St. Louis in 1846. William came over with wife Bridget in the 1860s owned land in St.Louis and MAries Counties;Buried in Visitation with Neil & Bridget McKeever. Hugh & Rose came over with a couple of kids in the 1870s ,Not much info on their whereabouts after death, have some childrens' info. Mary Ann married James McKown, their living heirs are in Gravios Mill Mo. Napier family. I have plenty on the family here;Courious though; your Bridget Kerr McKeever claimed Antrim, Hugh claimed Northern Ireland(rejected the Queen on immigration papers) William claimed Antrim, Mary Ann Antrim, but Patrick claimed Limerick, JAmes Wales. The proper spelling of the name is KERR, which is techically Scot; and they were Catholic (In Northern Ireland???) I am pursuing Kelt history during this time to understand such scattering of the family.. Any help you can lend to me about your grandma Bridget would sure help me focus on our Ireland townships?
