BANDGMETAL-Linda Thanks for the information about Cureall. This is another big piece in the puzzle that I am trying to solve. Section 16, Township 23 - Range 10, NW 1/4, Howell County Missouri is the section just south of Sections 4 and 9. This substantiates the information that the Endicotts and Dents settled around the town of Cureall. John C. Dent's 1/4 Section was located 1-1/2 miles due north of Section 16. Thanks Linda.
