Hello Everyone, The Benton Co AR list reported that the Bureau of Land Management's General Land Offce Records site is back up, including a new miscellaneous search feature including options for dates and land office. To search under additional criteria, after you identify your state at the "Basic" search tab, click the "Standard" tab to search by county and/or location, etc. The URL is: http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/ Remember once you find the location (Section, Range, Township) you can search for some possible neighbors by finding the names of everyone who purchased a land grant in your ancestor's section and all surrounding sections (you won't have all of them, of course, because local deed land sales aren't involved. It's also possible to make a rough distinction between members of families with a popular surname (ie, Williams, Smith, etc.). AND, if you have later information from probate documents, etc., on land locations for your ancestors, you can find the original purchasers, and so on. Good Luck! Janet (Baugh) Hunter

I forgot to mention that my gg grandfather came to the US in about 1837. He lived in Cincinnati until about 1850 and then left for Jamestown, MOniteau county, Missouri in 1857. I am hoping that when he was mentioned in a newspaper that he was registered to vote, that perhaps he was naturalized in Missouri. That is why I need info to find out how to get info on when he was first registered to vote in Missouri. Any help out there? Thanks, Joy

Hi, Where would old registration records be? I would be looking for 1860-1892 for a Daniel G. Derby. Also 1892 voter registration lists would help in identifying residents in lieu of the destroyed 1890 census. Regards, Mert Marley Louisville, KY memarley@c4.com

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: SHUMAN, KELSAY, MORGAN Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/XKB.2ACE/247.1.1 Message Board Post: Karylon, Thanks so very much for your reply. I have some *hunches* on who this David Shuman is, but have as of yet found no proof. Here is what is known: In 1832, John Shuman died in Monongalia Co, VA (now WV) leaving a Will <http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~shuman/settlement.html> in which he names his 13 children. At this point all of them have been identified EXCEPT David. Judging from known birth dates of several of the other children, and the order in which he is named in the Will, David's birth date is estimated as being approximately 1814-15. A David Shuman purchased land in Henry Co, IN in 1835. This land is just north of that of Joseph Shuman, which was purchased in 1833 and later. This Joseph is the oldest son of John; it is estimated that he was already living in Henry Co, IN as early as 1832, because he devised power of attorney to his brother-in-law and apparently did not return to VA when his father-in-law died in November of that year. Since no records regarding David Shuman have been found for this time period in VA, it is a reasonable assumption that the person listed as purchaser of land in Henry Co, IN in 1835 is the same David Shuman, and that he came with his older brother to the wilderness of central IN about 1832, perhaps almost immediately following their father's death. The estate was not settled until September 1834, and David made his purchase in 1835, when he would have been about 21 years old. There is just one problem with this Indiana scenario. We can find no trace of David after this. We have not found him listed in either the 1840 or 1850 census records for Indiana. We have found no marriage record for him in Indiana. What we HAVE found is this: a David Shuman married a Martha Kelsay in Morgan Co, MO on 24 August 1837. It appears that this same David Shuman purchased land in Moniteau Co, MO on 10 January 1840. And you have provided a continuation of his family history. So, the question remains: Is the David Shuman who married Martha Kelsay and was a landowner in Moniteau Co, MO the same David Shuman who was in Henry Co, IN in 1835, and are they both the same David Shuman who was the son of John Shuman of Monongalia Co, (W) VA? It is very interesting that you mention this MORGAN family of TX used the name Zacquiel and was originally from VA. That certainly provides further secondary suggestive evidence of some sort of tie between these families, since there was a Morgan family that settled in Monongalia Co, (W) VA, and for whom Morgantown, the county seat, is named. Several of their family members used the name Zacquiel. If you can contact any of the present descendants of the David Shuman/Martha Kelsay union, I would be most happy to correspond with them.

Sorry that I don't have A LOT of information on him---he died too early. He married Martha KELSAY in Morgan Co. MO, and the couple had several children before he died pre 1850. Martha and 3 daughters--Permelia, Nancy, & Mary are living near Martha's sister, Mary J. KELSAY TOW, wife of William TOW in 1850 Moniteau Co. MO. In the early 1850's, Martha went with the Tows to Texas where Martha married a widower, John Ferguson Morgan. Information from some of the TOW children says they were living in Fannin Co. TX when the last 2 or 3 Tow children were born. The Morgans were living in Hopkins Co. TX in 1850, so I am not sure where Martha met and married John F. BUT, both the Morgans and Tows were in Llano Co. TX by the time it was created in 1856, and all remained there until their deaths. Permelia never married. Nancy m. John Henry Leonared Behrns. Mary m. Hiram Douglas Morgan, a son of John F. by wife #1. Martha & John F. had 4 additional children, but only 2 lived to adulthood. ALL are buried in the Tow Cemetery, Llano Co. TX. (pronounced like "how now brown cow....not TOE) I would be interested in what you have or learn about David's heritage since there are descendants of his still living in Llano Co. TX. Thanks. Karylon A. Russell, Box 823, Llano, TX 78643 krussell@moment.net (P.S.--This MORGAN family also has Zacquiels and are descendants of the old Morgan Morgan family of early VA)

Joy, I think it took something like 5 years before they could become naturalized. He could have become a citizen sooner if he was in the Civil War fighting for the Union. Kathy Need information on how to find registered voters in Moniteau county, Linn Township, Missouri. I know my gg grandfather was listed as a registered voter in the paper "The Loyal Missourian" dated 18 Oct. 1866... but I need to find out when he was first registered to vote. Hopefully, that will tell me the exact year he came to this country. Thanks, Joy in California (the state)
