I can't remember what, if anything I have sent. Here is the 1850 census for Platte if you don't have it. Weston Township- Dwelling 170 Stillwell, Dixon 35 M Germany Occ: Farmer Susan 25 F KY Lucy 1 F MO ====================================== A few of his neighbors show Germany as place of birth as well. There were many German farmers who settled in Platte including the area, Lee Township, where I live. I also found a note in Paxtons Annals of Platte where a W.J. Wood was elected constable of Weston Township in 1896. All I could find. Chuck
