Joe: The book, History of Pike County, Missouri, 1883, is available in reprint. I bought a copy last year from Missouri Historical Printers, Box 427, Marceline, MO 64658. It cost $200, but was well worth it, as it is quite detailed, has over 1000 pages and is well indexed. On a side note, I heard from Tarny Smith, and she said you and her had been in contact working on Watson and Jordan families. As you may recall, your fourth(?) great grandfather, John Jordan, of Pike County, MO appears on many documents for my fourth gr grandfather, Thomas Cunningham. Apparently they were close friends, as your John Jordan was custodian for 6 of Thomas and Hannah (Watson) Cunningham's children after Thomas & Hannah died in 1845 in Pike Co, MO. I found all of the custodian papers, etc, a couple years ago.
