Having lived in Moniteau County all my life and extensively researched family (that first settled here in 1819-1820) in central Missouri for the last 10+ years, the only locality other than the county that I'm aware of is the part of Cole County that is now Montieau County was called Moniteau Township from the 1820s until 1845. Moniteau is an anglicized form of the native word Manitou meaning "Great Spirit". > 2) If so, was it in Moniteau County? > > 3) Are there Deed Books extant for Moniteau Co., between it's founding and 1850? As far as I know the courthouse in California, MO has all the original deed books from Moniteau County's founding in 1845 to the present. Prior to 1845, Moniteau County was a part of Cole and Morgan counties. Alan Sparks asparks@starband.net

Does anyone know this family as found in the 1880 census of Burris Fork: CASTOR, John, 67/PA Margaret, wife, 55/TN Nancy E, 26/IN Ollie N., 20/IN James C, 18/IN George A, 16/IN Edith, 10/MO They show 2 doors down from the family of James Henry RALSTON and his wife Mary HICKS (the son of James Harvey and Sarah [GRANT] RALSTON). I think that this John CASTOR family might be related--the parents?--of Benjamin CASTOR, whose wife, Mary E. (RALSTON), was the sister to James Henry RALSTON in Burris Fork. Benjamin and Mary CASTOR show in the census of 1880 in Saline, Miller Co., MO. James Henry and Mary HICKS married in Miller Co. MO in 1880. Thanks for any help! April Robbins aerobbins@earthlink.net
