Did you ever get a reply to your query about Eureka School? I can't think of anything like that in Mercer County, but there was a place in Putnam County called Wyreka (believe that's how to spell it). Perhaps that is what you are looking for. Believe it was just across the county line and up near Powersville. Hope you got what you needed. Mary Hart -----Original Message----- From: Ila L.

I'm looking for Fred McKinley Hayes - my paternal grandfather. I believe he joined the Federal Witness Program in 1917 - just before my father was born! Just Joking. He did "leave home" and not return though! My grandmother, Bonnie May Reid, was born in 1897 and Fred is thought to be a year or two older than her. They married in 1913 in Mercer County, Missouri. Grandma Bonnie and my father, Teddy Reid Hayes, are both deceased now. I would think Grandfather Fred would be too. I have no idea who his parents were. I was told that a family by name of Brantley in Newtown Missouri raised Fred and his sister after a tornado killed his parents. ANY info is greatly appreciated!

Hi! I am really hopeful that you have found them. Which Brittain's are you researching? I have collected various Brattain records along the way. On every census my Bratton give a different state as to where their parents were born. I think it is NC but they also list Kentucky. I know of a Brattain page at myfamily.com that is available. If you would like to be on it I could add you. I know Lemmons is a family name. I bet Lemmons Bratton's mother was a Lemmons. I am planning on visiting William's grave in Freedom Cemetery. My mother-in-law stopped there once. She didn't take a picture of the grave however. This is actually my husband's side that I have worked on for quite a while. I am having a tough time solving it. I came up with another spelling of Croxwell, maybe.. In the 1860 census William has an 11 year old girl by the name of Martha Cracksoll living with him. She was born in IA. Thanks for your help. I look forward to the name of the cemetery that Brattains are buried in. Betseylee "Randalin R. Ferguson" wrote: > Betsey, > > I do Brittain research and have run across the Bratton line.

Betsey, I do Brittain research and have run across the Bratton line. You will find them buried in a cemetery on the Harrison - Mercer County line (of which I don't have the name at my fingertips right now). I will e-mail you back within the next few days with that information. Both Harrison County, just to the west of Mercer County, and Mercer County have excellent genealogical societies. I too am curious about Lemmons Bratton - the Brittain line married into a Lemmons line around Grundy County, just south of Mercer County. There is a William T., son of L. & S. BRATTAIN, died Feb. 8, 1881, aged 28y 5 m 29 d, buried in the Freedom Cemetery in Mercer County, MO. The Freedom Cem. is located in Lindley Township in the north central portion on the township, in the northwest portion of Mercer County.

Hi! I am making a trip to Iowa this next week and would like to do some genealogy along the way on a very hard line I have been trying to solve. If anyone could help me out I will state where I am having troubles. I find two Bratton in the 1850 census in Farmington, Van Buren, IA that are living right next to each other. I believe they are brothers. One is William Bratton (a preacher, and it is unsure what church he is for but the census could be read Un Church) was born about 1815 in IA. William marries Martha Croxwell. He moves up to Mt. Pleasant and is there in the 1860 and 1870 census. I do not find him presiding over any of the churches in the directories for Mt. Pleasant. He names one of his sons Lemmons. After the 1870 census I lose William and am unable to find further trace of him. The other is Lemmons Bratton who was born 20 Mar 1815 in Wayne Co., IN. He died 13 or 15 Mar 1885 in Mercer Co, MO. I have his probate record there but do not know where he is buried. He names one of his sons William. In IA Lemmons lives in Farmington, Van Buren, IA; Fox River, Davis, IA; Lemona Decatur, IA and Monona, IA Lemmon lives in Lindley, Mercer, MO and one of his sons William Thomas is buried there. Lemmons marries Sibyl Cooper daughter of William Cooper and Nancy Batman. If anyone has any access to the graveyard information I would really like to find these two individuals gravesites.

Source: "History of Missouri Illustrated, History of Harrison & Mercer Counties", page 712-13 Biographical Appendix Mercer County. This book was re-printed in May-2000 by the Mercer and Harrison Co. Gen. Soc. Capt, J. A. Kennedy is of Scotch descent, born in Hardy County, Va., June 9, 1828, and is a son of John and Elizabeth (Arnold) Kennedy, natives of Ireland and Hardy County, Va,, respectively. The father came from Ireland to Virginia when a young man, where he engaged in farming. When the subject of this sketch was about sis years old his parents moved to Franklin County, Ohio, at which time they were very poor, owning but a horse and wagon when they started to seek a home in the west. After stopping in Franklin County twc years they continued the journey, and finally located in La Porte County, Ind., in the fall of 1836, which was then in a wild and unsettled condition, and inhabited by Indians and wild animals. Some time wae spent in clearing a home, and at the expiration of two years the father died (January, 1838), leaving his widow and seven children in destitute circumstances. The mother afterward married Myron Phelps, whc died in Indiana in 1857. Mrs. Phelps died in Iowa County, Iowa, about 1809. Joseph A. Kennedy was the third child of a family oj seven, four of whom are now living. He received a limited educatior at the common schools of Indiana, bat his information has been chiefly gained by hard study and reading when alone. He early imbibed a taste for knowledge, and borrowed all books available which he read with avidity during his spare moments. In 1840 he worked during the summer for $ 4 per month, and by hard work and economy accumulated enough money to purchase the needed books and furnish him means to attend school. At the age of twenty he began to teach, and from that time until 1852 taught and attended school alternately. October 19, 1852, he married Rebecca Morrell, daughter of Jacob and Mary (Bowman) Morrell, born in Dearborn County, Ind., February 14, 1828. She was a teacher in St. Joseph County, Ind., and bore Mr. Kennedy five children, of whom three are living: Mary E. (wife of Seely Mapel), Willram E. (railroader) and Elma J. (wife of E. W. Jewell, furniture dealer and farmer of Mount Hope, Kas.). Those deceased are Martha J. and Eliza. Six years after his marriage Mr. Kennedy moved with his wife and family of two children to Mercel County, Mo., and located near Bavanna, where he resumed teaching during school months until 1872, with the exception of the time speni in the Lesislature and while in. service. The summer months were spent in improving his land. In 1870 he engaged in the nursery business with S. M. Wayman, who afterward, moved to Georgia, and with whom he was quite succesaful in business. Since 1882 Mr. Kennedy has been engaged in the nursery business only upon a light scale, his principal occupation being farming. Mr. Kennedy, until ten years, was a Republican, since which time he has been independent in politicts, voting principally with the Greenback and Prohibition party but always for pure principles, and good and competent men, in preference to party. At the age of sixteen he espoused the temporal cause, for the advancement of which he has ever contended a labored, opposing the whisky traffic in any and all forms, unable to see any half-way grounds or compromise with evil. He was alwsy opposed to slavery from principle cannot sanction it in any for whether of body or mind, church or State. In 1860 he was elected justice of the peace. His ambition was to become school commission but his desire was never gratified, and his life for the most part has been spent in the school-room and upon the farm. At the comencement of the war he enlisted, and was elected second lieutenant of Company C, of the Seventh Regiment six months' militia. In 1862 was commissioned captain of Company I, of the Forty-fourth Regiment Enrolled Missouri Militia, until the close of the war, never going into any active engagements. With him military service was only a necessity and not a choice, for like the poet-Burns He murder hates, by field or flood, Though glory's name may screen us. In 1862 he waa elected to represent Mercer Colinty in the Legislature and served during the winters of 1862-63 and 1863-64. He was afterward a candidate for nomination to the same office, but was defeated and has since filled but minor offices. He has been an active member of the Baptist Church since the age of twenty, and the greate part of the past thirty years has officiated as Sunday-school super intendent. For several years he has been occupying much of hi time in the work of the ministry of the Church of God, laborinj freely for the glory of God, and the advancement of this cause in the community, and has for a number of years been the clerk and i the present moderator of the North Grand Biver Association of Baptist Churches. He is a man of positive character, true to his convictions, and a hearty supporter and promoter of the educational and religious welfare of his county. Much of his success he attributes to his good and faithful wife, who has ever proved a true helpmate. He has no higher aspirations for the future than to have a pleasant home blessed, with books and friends, surrounded by fruits and flowers, and all that tends to make life lovely and pleasant; and to be a useful member of society, striving to promote the best interests of mankind, and to build up the cause of education, temperance and religion until the final call from labor to reward. Mr. Kennedy is secretary of a tomological and horticultural society whose history is as follows: A preliminary meeting to arrange for the organization of a tomological and horticultural society was held at the residence of W. V. King, one and one-half miles north of Princeton, October 6, 1887. Fifteen names were obtained, committee appointed to prepare rules and regulations, and on the first day of November, 1887, the members met in Princeton, adopted a constitution, regulations, etc., and completed the organization by selecting the following officers: B, J. Lewis, president; J. L. Wood, vice-president; W. V. King, treasurer; J. A. Kennedy, secretary.

Who was Joseph A. Meece? In the 1870 census, Morgan Twp., he was 1 years old living with Andrew Jackson Morin and his newly married second wife, Eliza Ann Sexton. Sexton was her maiden name, apparently she had not been married previously In the 1880 census, Morgan Twp., Joseph Meece was living with Moses Overton and his wife, Nancy. Joseph, age 12, was listed as a boarder. The Morin and Overton families were not related but, lived in the same general area. Thanks! -Judy

Judy, Interestingly enough, there may indeed be a connection. Andrew appears in the Wayne Co Ill state census in 1865 along with his son Joseph Marion. Listed with them is an Eliza Sexton, which has had me scratching my head. I have long felt that I did not have all of Andrew's children listed. When he left VA/WV he left with the 9 children mentioned, all of whom were born between 1831 and 1849. I since have learned that he had two wives that I know of, both named Mary. There is, I am sure, a strong possibility that he had more children, including an Andrew H. Jr. The fact that Eliza Ann has turned up twice with Andrew is fair circumstantial evidence to pursue it further. Thanks so much for the information! Every little clue helps to begin to form a complete picture. I appreciate your response!
