Rick, I'm a Barrett descendant, and researcher on the Barrett's of Mercer Co. Mo. However, I'm unfamiliar with William A. Barrett. Do you know who his father was, that might give me a clue? There was other Barritt's in the same area who were from the same line, only spelled their name ITT. Hope we can help each other. Mary Yakima, Wa. marylkinney@webtv.net

Rick, What a wonderful Christmas present! Who were Laura's parents? The Craigs came to Mercer Co. and neighboring Harrison Co. in the mid-1800s and lived near Cainsville. They are descended from Roderick Craig, Revolutionary War veteran. -Judy

Surnames: CRAIG BARRETT Submitter: Rick Hoppe (rhoppe1@hot.rr.com) Date: 29 Jul 2001 I am searching for any information on a William A. Barrett and/or Laura Craig, who were married on June 20, 1895 in Mercer County, MO. They are on my wife's family's side, and I am writing a historical short story about them as a Christmas Present to my mother and father in law. William and Laura left Mercer County in 1900, and moved to homestead in Gage, Oklahoma. William was shot and killed in a land dispute on October 18, 1918, which is the crux of the story. But I need to get the historical data, and a sense of who William and Laura were, and their life and times. Thank you.

Surnames: DURHAM CAMPBELL Submitter: Tonya Durham Neuweiler (ejsmom@juno.com) Date: 27 Jul 2001 Seeking any info regarding Thomas Durham (born 1864 in Mercer County) or other family members. The information I have says he was living with one of his brothers (Robert, b 1861)) and a family by the name of Alley in the 1880 census. I'd be quite interested in knowing why....and where the rest of the family might have been. They were: father Issac Durham (b 1810 in NC, d 1885 in Princeton NC), mother Nancy Campbell Durham (b 1837, Knox county, KY), brothers Alexander (b 1860 in MO), John F and William (birth dates and locations unknown), James A. (b 1864 in MO). Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Please pardon the off topic but... Just a short note about "Virus Found" People who do genealogy don't necessarily know when they are going to get, "a hole in our brick wall." With a proper virus protection program we will be safer from "just what if?" Get a virus protection program. !!!!Keep it updated.!!!! All of the below listed have different aspects as to: When they run, how much resources they use, etc. Some have a program you can run specifically on a separate, individual e mail to "test it" to see if it is OK I make no testimonials about any program listed below and this list isn't necessarily inclusive. All I can comment is NOBODY is 100% safe. Just hedge your bets. You can spray for roaches until it kills the cat. These two are free: AGV http://www.grisoft.com/html/us_index.cfm Vcatch http://www.vcatch.com/home.html or a commercial brand. Most of these are downloadable for free for a minimum 30 days. pay or disabled after that. Most can be purchased in Office, Electronics, or Computer stores, Wal-Mart(?) etc. Definitely on the internet.
