I've not found any strong possibilities in Pioneer Traces. I should have asked where did the Cox families immigrate from and therefore could eliminate some families. Thanks! -Judy

Finis Irvin Tipton was born 19 August 1903 near Harris in Sullivan Co., MO, and died 11 November 1983 in Liberty, Clay County, MO. He was the son of Charley Tipton and Sarah Melvina Anderson who were married April 3, 1918 in Grundy Co., MO (she married second Solomon Cooper). On 14 October 1925 in Princeton, Mercer County, MO, he married Opal Irene McLaughlin born 1911, daughter of James Franklin and Lenora Jane (Dean) McLaughlin. Finis is buried in the Half Rock Cemetery, Medicine Township, Mercer County, MO. Finis was the great-grandson of John Hiram and Nancy Cordelia (Munday) Topton; and his siblings were Cordelia who married Guy McLaughlin, and Alice who married Lovell Jacques. I would like additional information on this family also. I have quite a lot of Niccum information - some Cunningham, NO McLaughlin or Tipton except what I've posted. I have Finis and Opal's children as Francis Dale who married Peggy Leota Cunningham and Sarah Jane who married Carroll Dean Schoenhals.

Hi Jerry, What a wonderful thing you are doing for this list. I know there are a lot of happy people out there reading all that you have sent them on their families. Would you happen to have anything on a Stokesberry and Galaspi family from around the Sullivan and Putnam Co. areas? Thank you for your time in this. Nancy

Jerry, I may have had contact with you in the past, but due to technological problems (my computer crashed), I have lost all my information. Do you have any info on any CUNNINGHAM, NICCUM, McLAUGHLIN, or TIPTON families? They have been in the Princeton area for as long as I can remember. Specifically those I am looking for is the parents of FINIS TIPTON born in 1905 or 1906. He is my brick wall and my great-grandfather.

I would love to have a copy of the SWOPES info as well. I am not directly related to them however, I believe that George W Swopes is a son of James Parker Swopes and Rutha Emaline BROWN, is that right Louise? Rutha Emaline is a sister to my GGGrandfather, Samuel F BROWN. He married Mary Bray, who was born in IN. I am not sure if they were married in MO or not, I know their first son was born in IN, just don't know what county. Whenever you have time, and thank you so much for your generous offer. Other surnames I am researching are Petree, Williams and Earixon among others:) Don't want to get too greedy:):). Thanks you, Wanda Spegal wkss@theofficenet.com

I wonder if you might by some miracle:):) have any information about my GGGrandmother...he maiden name was Mary BRAY, she was born in IN but I don't know which county. Her husband was Samuel F BROWN, he was born in MO, probably Ray Co, but the family moved to Mercer Co about 1843. I would love to learn more about Mary Bray, I have not even been able to find the names of her parents. I'm HOPING in WA!! Wanda
