Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/XKB.2ACE/714 Message Board Post: As a benighted Kentuckian, I'm new to Missouri research. So I'd greatly appreciate help with some basic questions: 1) Was there ever a Missouri town, post office, or locality (rather than the county) called "Moniteau"? 2) If so, was it in Moniteau County? 3) Are there Deed Books extant for Moniteau Co., between it's founding and 1850?
