Nelda: you may not find this too useful, since I know it's difficult to trace the female lines, and the early censuses list only head of household by name. But you already know a lot about her and he descendants. I would offer this. First: Ask yourself what you are really looking for, and go about singlemindedly trying to find the answers to those questions. Second: Ask yourself what do you know already, and begin there. If you are looking for Nancy's family in Kentucky around 1914, you assume her father's name was Dorrell. It might be a common name, it may not. Even with only heads of households listed up until 1850, you still may find Dorrell in the Kentucky census for 1810 and 1820. Some counties in Kentucky have a census back to 1790, so don't limit yourself to 1810 or 1820. If a lot of Dorrells show up, you still have a problem. If not many show up, you have a clue as to counties, and can start with more minute research in those counties. Look for land records in those counties, wills, estate settlements, etc. Look for births, deaths, etc in newspapers for those counties that might give you a clue. Sometimes there are naming patterns that are passed down to children. For instance she and her husband might have named their children after her father or her grandfather, which would hint at a clue. Look for what other people may have posted on Sorrells on county boards, surname boards, or on the Latter Day Saints web site. it may or may not be completely accurate, but it might still give you a clue or someone live to contact. Third: Tell everyone what you are looking for. Put out queries on boards where you know descendants were, i. e. Howard County, Chariton County, Livingston County, telling what you are looking for and giving the information you gave the Monroe County Board. Put out queries on Ancestry,com boards, surname boards, etc. It's amazing how people looking for the same thing find each other. Good luck. ...Dave

Yes, there is a motel in Paris. It is located at the south edge of town. I have eaten in their restaurant many times. Good food! I have visited the Monroe County courthouse and the library at Paris. They were very helpful. The library has limited hours and right now I don't recall what they are, but I think they are open in the afternoons. Also, the Moberly library has lots of info concerning Monroe County. Shirly

Wilma Santos: Some additional information on Paris and surrounding area. Paris, the county seat of Monroe County has a motel. It is called Lake Village Motel, telephone number (660) 327-5151. We have stayed there several times; it is convenient and comfortable. While there are motels in Hannibal, it is 57 miles away from Paris, although it is closer to Monroe City if that is your research area. Moberly is 25 miles west of Paris on Highway 24 and has a number of motels. Mexico is 25 miles south, on Highway 15, and has motels. Perry, a small town with lots of tourism (in Ralls County) also has motels. You should be able to find satisfactory motels via the web in each of these towns. The Paris Public Library has some excellent local genealogical references, and the librarian is very helpful. They especially have excellent cemetery records. Many of the early marriages in Monroe County were recorded in Mexico, MO since Monroe did not become a county until 1831. Mexico is the county seat of Audrain County, and the Mexico Public Library does have a lot of material on Monroe County, plus microflm of Mexico Ledger and Intelligencer. Volunteers will help you with what you need there during the daytime hours. The Paris courthouse has records for marriages, will and estate settlements etc, but not birth records. Approacehd politely, the courthouse people will be very helpfull, especially the Recorder's office. There are no birth records before 1910 because of a fire that destroyed them, but what is available are housed in the Capital of the state, Jefferson City, MO. The Audrain County Courthouse will also make copies but I have not found them as accomodating as at Paris. Have a good trip.

Dear Wilma, I usually go to Monroe County about once a year to do research. There are not very many large towns in the area. The county seat is Paris where the courthouse is and the main library. The library has a genealogy room with various items. There is also a small room at the Mark Twain Museum in Florida, MO that has some research materials. Another place that has quite a few research materials is the library in Mexico, MO and, even though it is in Audrain County, they have a large genealogy room with items for the surrounding counties, including Monroe. There is probably a motel in Monroe City that is the largest town in Monroe county. I'm not sure there is one in Paris. There are also some motels in Hannibal that is about 45 minutes - 1 hour away from Paris. Mexico, MO has some motels as well and is about 45 minutes from Paris, MO. When I go I fly into St. Louis and rent a car there. I drive to Mexico where I stay with a family member. From Mexico I go to Monroe County and Hannibal sometimes too. Good luck and let me know if you have any questions. I will try and help you find the answers.

Monroe County was formed from Ralls in 1831. Palymra is the land office where many of the early deeds were recorded. David G. Davenport's story is also an interesting comment on Southern sympathizers during the Civil War in Monroe County. According to a profile in the 1884 History of Monroe and Shelby Counties, Missouri: DAVID G. DAVENPORT (Attorney at Law, Monroe City.) Mr. Davenport, who has been engaged in the practice of law for over 30 years continuously, except during most of the war and for a short time afterards, has been located at Monroe City since 1873. As a lawyer, his career has been one of substantial success, and he is now one of the well-to-do citizens of this place as well as one of the prominent attorneys of the county. Mr. Davenport, although partly reared in Marion county, was born in Baltimore, Md., his natal day being the 20th of January, 1822. His father was David G. Davenport, and was originally form Lewistown, De., He was reared, however, in West Virginia, but educated at Washington City, D.C. He early went to Baltimore, where Miss Susan Green became his wife, a young lady of Maryland birth and education. When David G., Jr., was some 15 years of age his parents removed to Missouri, settling near West Ely, in Marion county. Young Davenport received a good educaiton and begand the study of law in 1848, under Judge Van Swearengen, who is well known to Missouri lawyers by his long and eminent service at the bar and hardly less by his being the subject of ex-Senator Waldo P. Johnson's famous poim, entitled "The Nestor of the Missouri Bar," which was read for the first time before the Bar Association of Vernon county some 10 or 12 years ago. Mr. Davenport also read law under A.W. Lamm, a leading lawyer of Hannibal, and for whom Judge Van Swearengen's son, A. W. Van Swearengen, a prominent lawyer of Montevallo, Mo., was named. Admitted to the bar in 1850, Mr. Davenport went at once thereafter to California, where he resided for about two years. He then returned to Missouri and engaged in the practice at Palmyra, where he continued with sucess until the second year of the war. By this time affairs had become so critical that it was no longer safe for a man of pronounced Southern convictions to remain at home, and he accordingly joined the Southern army, becoming first lieutenant of a company under Col. Porter, and taking charge of Porter's bodyguard. Later along in the war he was wounded and taken prisoner. After his capture he was taken to Jefferson City and then to St. Louis where he was court-martialed and thereupon committed to prison at Alton. He was finally transferred to camp Chase, being kept in confinement until the close of the war. After his return home he found that loyalty had not only been victorious but thrifty. Both Southern rights and Southern property had suffered, the latter perhaps even more than the former. Mr. Davenport found that his worldly possessions to the amount of about $20,000 had been swept away in common with those of other "rebels." It is a poor thing that can't be made to pay, and in the late war, "patriotism" was by no means an unprofitable enterprise, considering the bounties, the pickings from wicked "rebels," and the back pay and fat pensions that have followed. After the war Mr. Davenport resumed the practice of law, not, however, for a few years, on acount of the proscriptive clause of the Drake Constitution, which prohibited every one identified or sympathizing with the South in the remotest degree from practicing law, preaching, teaching school, or following almost any other occupation except manual labor, or business pursuits. After the removal of his political disabilities, however, he commenced the practice at Palmyra, but in 1873 came to Monroe City. On the 2d of October, 1852, he was married to Miss Fannie C. Lair, daughter of William Lair of Marion county. They have had three children: David R., of the Phoenix Insurance Company of London, England, with headquarters at Chicago; Fannie O., now Mrs. William E. Moss; and Palmyra M., now the wife of James Shaw, of Hannibal. Mrs. Davenport is a member of the M.E. Church, South. Hope this helps you. Nancy Stone, president Monroe County Historical Society
