They moved to Elm twnsp, Putnam Co, Mo. @ 1860. They had 8 children and I just can't believe that I am the only genealogist working on them!!! - Elsetta

Does anyone have more complete knowledge of Leroy Rolls who married Nancy May in Elm Twp., Putnam Co., MO about 1870. Their children were Joseph W. Rolls b. 1874; Samuel Rolls b. 1876; Thomas Albert Rolls b. 1876.

We are searching for information on the family of Philip G. Johnson (b. 8/19/1848) and his wife Rebecca Winder (b. 9/18/1854), both from Ohio. Their children, Myrta M. and Lester A. Johnson moved to MO and apparently settled in Unionville. Myrta may have married Mr. Dorsey. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You, Tom Johnson

Hi all, To the one who requested the census look up for RASH and BRICE, I found a couple papers last night that I'd copied at the library in Unionville the last time I was there. I'm terrible and can't remember the first name of who you were looking for......but here's what I found. RASH, (possibly Minnie S) buried Torrey, Centerville, IA was married died 13 Mar 1931 RASH, Teddy Lee buried Unionville born 15 May 1931 died 14 Feb 1935 Father: Loyd Rash Mother: Ida Myrtle Brice Hope that helps?

Where is the Williams graveyard located? Guess I missed this one. Is it a family cemetery?

Judy & all; I went to the site below and checked it out. I hope all of you that have relatives that have never been there go take a look. I do have the cemetery listings for the Rose cemetery if anyone has someone there they need information on. John Sparks wrote a couple of days ago and requested that anyone who had a relative buried there whose grave was unmarked to let him know. John is the treasurer for the Rose cemetery (plus a very good friend and relative to me) and I can tell you that he has worked quite hard to identify those buried there without markers. He and I have walked the cemetery and we know there are numerous graves that are there unidentified. Sorry you couldn't get ahold of me Judy..don't know what the problem was. I do have a piece of property down near Graysville, and my abstract says that Benjamin Rose once owned the property. I haven't looked at it for awhile but I believe it gives the childrens names to. Hope you're all enjoying the site and thanks Judy for sharing it with the list. Linda Linda, I tried to send you an email at you address but it came back to me. I put the Rose Cemetery Pictures on my web site http://www.rootsquest.com/~jhawman/. If anyone wants them for Putnam Co, MO information or for Rose Family, they can download them from the site. Hope this helps someone. Judy Hawman
