I remember an old man named Mr. Pritchett that lived behind my grandparents in Frankford. I only saw him a few times when visiting my grandparents in Frankford back in the 60's Dan

Just beginning my search for info on my grandfather, Arley Pritchett, born June 26, 1900 in Frankford, Missouri, son of Ed D. and Vadie (Doyle) Pritchett. He had one sister, Mae (or May) who married a Jones. He married my grandmother, Amy Epperson, on May 30, 1930 in Frankford. I am having the hardest time getting anything about these Pritchetts of Frankford. Any help appreciated. Sharon Watts Urban

Good morning. I have a few Vannoy in my family line. Come to me with some names and let me see what I can locate. I even have a few Vannoy pictures of those connected to my line. I am originally from Bowling Green, Pike County, MO (now living in TN). Additionally, I have a few publications on Pike County, so if there is someone you are researching, let me know and I try and help. Sincerely, Tom W. Sisson.

Good morning. I received a copy of your email. I have the Vannoy in my family line, but not very strong. You mention you mother is in the New Harmony area. What town? I am originally from Bowling Green, Pike County, MO, now living in TN. If you need any help on Pike County names, let me know and I will see what I can find in my reference books. Sincerely, Tom W.

Does anyone know who the people in the rural areas sent their film too, to have it developed in the time period of 1945-1955? I have a photo I am trying to track down the place it was taken as it was sent to LaCrosse WI to be developed. Thanks for any help. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Linda, I received a copy of your e-mail to Dean. I know from the Pike Co History Book that Jane Vannoy was a member of the Christian Church at New Harmony, Mo. Has this cemetery been checked.

I am intending to visit the Haught/Henton Cemetery in Ashley Township next month, and need a little information. First of all, I'd like to have driving directions. Also, I would like to know if it is fairly close to a roadway and if I will need hiking shoes? I am also intending to go to the Smyrna Cemetery in Hartford Township.

Hi Helen, Thanks for the response.. I don't believe that your husband's line and mine are from the same branch as it looks now. There is a Ball Family History http://home.earthlink.net/~jmoule/ball/wc_idx/idx022.html that has my line on it. However, it might have some names that ring a bell for you. If it is convenient and you happen to talk to your researcher friend, I would appreciate it if you remember me and my Hendricks.)they came to Mo from Md and then KY. I have copies of the 3 volume 1984 DAR Patriot Index and found Elijah Hendrick as a proven patriot. If you have any lookups in these volumes that you would like me to check, I will be happy to do so. My husband's Wells line is from Ashley and most of his family are from there and the New Hartford area. I am from Hannibal, Marion Co MO as my mother and her mother's family were, although my Dad and his mother were born near Louisiana MO. You mentioned living in an adjoining area to Bowling Green. Where is that? I belong to the Bowling Green Chapter of the DAR and have been since we were living in Pike CO in 1991. Small world huh?

J's Hendrick in Pike County is Elijah Hendrick of the Revolutionary War. He married Anne Harrison and they are both buried in Bowling Green Missouri. I am going to BG tomorrow for income tax as I live in the neighboring county. BUT my husband is extremely ill so cannot do research there. Ours were related to the Jones family and the Maidens. Our surname is Renner and they were in that area around AShley--there are many cemetery books on Pike--there is a Pike Genealogical Society that does answer queries. I belong but do not go to their meetings. There is another line of Hendricks- in Pike County that I have not been able to connect to--I know someone who knows someone who is researching or has tried to research that line, but off the cuff am not sure of the names.

Hi B J thanks for your info about Edwin Guiley in the 1850 census. I believe he is my gg grandfathers brother. I have found some reference to him and Markleys. Also with a Mr. Allen in Ohio. I dont know where John Davis Guiley and wife Mary Jane Schurman/Sherman went after their marriage. Maybe to Ohio or Pa. Possiblely to Ky. I will keep checking. Thanks again.Dee Guiley Reed

Hi Helen My maiden name was Hudson and my paternal Grandmother was a Headrick, Texana Belle, born near Louisisana, MO, daughter of Peter and Martha Henry Headrick. Strange as it may seem, I also have a Hendrick line on my maternal Grandmother's side. Mary Landrum Hendricks, daughter of Daniel (a descendent of Peter, original emigrant to US) and Elizabeth Thrasher Hendrick, married Joseph Conway/Conoway , my 3rd Great Grandparents in Hannibal, Marion Co MO. I have tried to find a connection to the line in Pike Co MO as Daniel Hendricks first located there, before Marion Co MO was formed, but so far have not found it. I notice that you didn't mention Pike Co MO specifically , just MO. From what part of the state are your husbands antecedents? Maybe we have a connection?
