This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Conway and Garner spelled several ways. (Gardner, Gardiner) Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/GMB.2ACE/666 Message Board Post: I am searching for a family by the name of Conway. I have found a listing for a Mary Conway in the mid 1800's in Platte Co., MO. If anyone has any information on this family, please contact me. I am searching for a George W. Garner who married a Mahala and had a son named James Conway Garner in 1845 in Platte Co. From info I have just received, I think that it is possible that Mahala's last name could have been Conway which would account for the sons middle name. Thank you for any help.
