Does anyone know this city/town and if it still exists in McDonald Co . . . ??? My grand-parents lived at Rocky Comfort, so perhaps it is/was located near there . . . ??? I know there is a Richmond up to Ray Co, but the death certificate is very clear as it states McDonald Co. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Jasmine: Yes, it does this is the last county in Missouri on the southwest corner and the county seat is Southwest city. Having a Ray county family in McDonald should not surprise as it was the last available land in Missouri(cheap) and it was a staging site for the Kansas Oklahoma and Texas land rushes. Midwest genealogical center has an entire shelf of Mc DONALD materials and there is a web site thru Rootsweb and genweb. I made a remark when my husband's great grand ancestors were found there on a 1860 census "why would anyone leave north east Missouri and go entirely cattycorner across the state to McDonald county. My seat mate a long time and astute genealogist said back' It was the last cheap land in Missouri. On a chance I went to the library and to the McDonald county Dewey number and low and behold a whole shelf and some interesting four hours of scanning and reading. Then at home found the computer sites. Great group!!! Bud in Mo. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, September 15, 2010 10:12 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [MOMcDona] Richmond, MO This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.
