I am seeking the family of George W. PUGH who came to the Joplin area following the Civl War. His first wife died in about 1865 in Indiana. He doesn't appear in the 1870 Indiana census, but his children show up living with their grandparents. By 1890 he is found in St. Joseph, MO city directory with a new wife, Mary A. PUGH, and his children. Family tradition says the family, including new wife and children, moved to the Joplin area in the early 1870's. I suspect that George may have been in Missouri in the 1870 timeframe looking for a new situation while his children remained in Indiana with their grandparents. Any help appreciated.
