I see where you're searching for VanPool and Robertson in McDonald County, but I'm unclear from looking at your site that you referenced what information you are looking for. The VanPool and Robertson families were founders of the Fairview Church on State Line Road, just north of Southwest City. I've got quite a bit of information, but don't want to duplicate what you might already have. It would help a lot if you have specific questions. It appears from looking at your information that you might be questioning where your families were in 1860? They don't show up on the census of McDonald County, but then the War took a lot of folks to Texas between 1860 - 1864. There are also some other families near where they settled that came from Moniteau and Cooper Counties during that time. Other names that married into the VanPool's and Robertson's were Amos and Smith.

It may help others as it did me to know McDonald co. land was among the last settlement acres in Missouri(land office applications). I mumble the question why would a family moved completely, cattycorner across state. And Lady next to me , very much a expert in such. Told me last cheap land. This is a very interesting county for Missouri History buffs. It corner three other states so for a time was a target of outlaws, who would ride to other states/territory to avoid prosecution. -----Original Message-----
