I think this is about the time my mother fell and broke her pelvis. I still don't have much time, but Looking at what I have on the Hickeys and Lawsons, my guess is it came out of the old Maries Co, History. And those families will squirel around until they are all related in some form or another. I'm descended from the Eads and Simpsons but at time I just trace a line back if the information is available. Also I'm the typist for about 11 of we descendants of the above and one or more of them might be related to your people. Sorry to be so long with no answers either.

Sorry Shirley, would you unsubscribe <maggi3@earthlink.net> by hand, I have resubscribed with the new address. We are going to have to take time to talk one of these days. I think I am related to both you and your husbands lines. Maggi

That is great to know. I have thought about doing the same. Have you added any info to your lines? It's been a while since I've worked on this, but would be happy to send you my info to ad to your records. Also, if you ever hear of a trip to Bavaria to do research I would be interested in going. Do you ever go to the family reunions. Timing hasn't worked out for me yet, but, I'd love to go. My mom loves going to Crocket and Dixon. She has a lot of great memories. My dad's parents also lived in Dixon so being able to go to a family reunion on the Veasman's would be grand. Thanks!

That was really sad Bob, about Zachariah. The one about Belemus Burtchers son is always sad too. He joined the army barely 18; and must have been either incubating or exposed to measles immediately. Within a very short time he was dead. Someone contacted Belemus and he was there in St Louis with the boy telling his father soon he would be better and they could go home, with his father knowing it wasn't going to happen. Really a sad letter he wrote to his brother in law about it. Maggi

Shirley, Great web site. Thank you. I do have some information of one of the persons in the pension list and somebody may be interested in it. Mary (Barnhart) Pendleton, Certificate #131971 was the second wife of Zachariah Pendleton. Zachariah Pendleton was one of 5 children of William Pendleton and Florentine Sarah Dillard Isbell: William Pendleton c. 1822 Zachariah Pendleton c. 1824 Frances Pendleton c. 1824 (married Lewis G. Wiles) George W. Pendleton c. 1825 Richard Pendleton c. 1828 Zachariah married (1) Barbara Ann Barnhart daughter of Mathias Barnhart and Elizabeth Seaton. Barbara and Zachariah had three children: William H. Pendleton Oct 3, 1849, married Martha Ann Moss Frances Emiline Pendleton June 2, 1852 who died at 2 years of age in 1854 James R. Pendleton Dec 24, 1854. Zachariah's wife Barbara died April 14, 1858 and Zachariah married his deceased wife's sister Mary Barnhart November 25, 1858. They had three children: Sarah J. Pendleton Oct 13, 1859 who died at 17 years of age in 1876. George Pinkney Pendleton Aug 21, 1861 Martha Elizabeth Pendleton Feb 7, 1863 who married William Henderson Williams. I received this following information of Zachariah Pendleton from a lady in Virginia with whom I was exchanging Pendleton history with. Zachariah served in the Union forces in the Civil War. He was a Corporal, Company E 11th Missouri Cavalry Volunteers. He entered service as a resident of Maries County, MO Post Office Address Manton, Maries Co., MO. He was enrolled October 15, 1862 and discharged at the General Hospital, Little Rock, Arkansas in July 1865. He was mustered out July 28, 1865 diagnosed with a disability. Zachariah died on a boat trying to get home after he was discharged from the service. He asked to be discharged because he was dying from smallpox and wanted to get home. He is buried at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery, St. Louis, MO. His friend William May was with him and his statement is one of the affidavits in the file. He is listed in the U.S. Quartermaster's Department "Roll of Honor" book for his service. State of Missouri County of Cole} On this 23rd day of July 1866, personally appeared before me the undersigned clerk of the Circuit Court within & for the County & State aforesaid, the same being a court of record, William May, of Maries Co., Missouri, who being by me duly sworn, says that he was well and personally acquainted with Zachariah Pendleton, now dec'd late a Corporal in Co. E 11th Regt. Mo. Cav. Vols. Affiant states that he, himself, was formerly a member of Co. M. 3rd Mo. Cav. Vols, and was afterwards assigned to Co. C. 11th Mo. Cav. Vols. -- That about the 14th day of March 1865, at Little Rock, Arkansas, said Zachariah Pendleton took the Small Pox, and was sent to the Small Pox hospital, when he remained for about two months, under charge of Dr. Jennings. During the time he remained at the small pox hospital he lost the use of his right eye, in consequence of having the small pox, and contracted chronic diarrhea, in consequence of which, he was transferred from the small pox hospital to the General hospital. He remained at the latter place until about the 27th day of July 1865, when he started for his home in Maries County, MO. having been previously discharged from the U. S. Service. He was carried out on his mattress to the ambulance which conveyed him to the boat, being entirely unable to walk. His health was at the time very low. Affiant waited on him during the passage until his death, which occurred not far below Cape Girardeau, MO. on the 2nd day of August 1865. Affiant was present and saw him die, and his body was buried in St. Louis Mo, affiant having given the body in charge to the Medical Director for the purpose of internment. All of which (with the exception of the burial) affiant states as within his personal knowledge. Affiant states that he is not interested for pension. /S/ William May State of Missouri County of Cole} On this 22 day of July 1867, before me a notary public within and for the County and State aforesaid and by law duly authorized to administer oaths for general purposes personally appeared William May, of Maries Co., MO. whom I certify to be respectable and credible, who being by me duly sworn deposes and says, that he was personally acquainted with Zachariah Pendleton late of Co E 11th MO Cav Vols. That said Zachariah Pendleton was discharged at his own request, he being very anxious to reach home before he died, that at the time of his discharge this affiant ... believes he was in such a state of health as to render his final recovery very doubtful. /S/ William May Subscribed and sworn to before me this day and year first above written, and I certify that I am not interested in Pension Claim of Mrs. Mary Pendleton for pension. Witness my Hand & Notarial seal. /S/ Allan McDowell Notary Public Zachariah was my GGreat-grandfather George W. Pendleton's brother. Most of the time one finds things in genealogy research that are very interesting and sometimes funny. But, sometimes one finds things that really hurt. Bob Prater, Tulsa

My cousin was married to Ray "Putt" Viessman and I worked with a Don Viessman from Vienna, who was the brother of Tony Viessman of the Highway Patrol. there was a bunch of those boys. Some of the spellings were just census taker errors but they always told me if it was spelled with one "s" they were Protestant and if two "s" they were Catholic or visa-versa.

Terry, I would love a copy of the document you are referring to! I have a document called "The Veasman Family Tree" that was given to me a couple of years ago. Acknowledgments go to Mrs. Pauline Smith and Mr. Emmit Viessman. This piece has info on war records for Fredrick and John Wolfgang. There are 3 books of descendants. 1) John W. & Anna Theresa Lauterback Viessmann, Frederick & Martha EHillhouse Veasman (my line) and Chris and Anna Steen (1st wife), Martha Mitchell (2nd wife) Viessman. Note all three chose different spellings. I'm sure this document hasn't been updated in years. But, I'd be happy to share it as it was with me!

Hi, Yes, there is the spelling of Veasman. My grandfather was Husted Veasman. Thanks to many I was able to put the puzzle together. The first Catholic Church in Maries County was held in the home of John W. Viessmann in the small community of Viessmann Station, MO. It is known today as Brinktown. There is a book History of Maries County Volume III which has a couple of pages about the Veasman/Viessman's. I do not have the book only copies of these pages.
