Her madien name was Susan A. Smothers and she married George Slagel in 1851 in Putnam Co., Missouri. Recent email has placed her burial at or near Clifton Hill, Missouri. Thanks very much.

Hi Matt, I also have Granville OWEN and I am including the info I have. The ages in the census appear to be a little off or else I read it wrong. Do you have further info on Granville OWEN family? I don't think my John James OWEN is the same as the James on this family. I am leaning to Thomas James OWEN as being the father of John James OWEN and will send that info also. I tend to think the OWEN came from Madison Co., KY along with the PAGE, MORIN, FISHBACK, etc. But I am sure open to suggestions.

Hey Folks, I just got in from another Trip to Missouri...no story yet, I'm still recovering. Next week.....?? However in the interim, I do have a few goodies for you. My Missouri cousins gave me a rather old set of sketches of family members... the date penciled on the backside is 1787... but we don't know who they are yet.<http://www.rootsweb.com/~moafram/grays.jpg>; If anyone recognizes this artist or rendering please let me know. These are most likely my Pamunkey relatives from Virginia.. and I assume there is some connection to the CHILTON family of Farquier County, Virginia. My ancestor Aggie Gray was brought from VA with the Chilton family and was apparently abducted from her tribe... these sketchings may be the last remnants of her family. This is a large file... please be patient will it loads.... On my recent visit I met new cousins; one of whom blessed me with the most beautiful creative writing piece about our family on Ravenswood and her thoughts on Emancipation; see the Color of Emancipation <http://www.rootsweb.com/~moafram/kamara.html>. Thanks cuz Kamara Jones for your wonderful and most beautiful writing!!:-) More thanks are due to Art Schneider Director of University Extension Services in Boonville, MO. He transcribed both Howard and Cooper County Black Marriage records. <http://www.rootsweb.com/~moafram/Document.html>; scroll to the bottom of the page for the last two entries. These transcriptions are both very large documents; so please be patient. I look forward to your feedback before I load them to my mirror site at: <http://usgennet.org/~ahtopaag/index.html> and this is a new link to post wills, probate records and family histories: <http://www.usgennet.org/usa/mo/topic/afro-amer/> Art said he had difficulty reading the handwriting... so I will be double checking the entries with the digital transcriptions I have received already and reviewing the files as time permits for additional input. If you are still interested in transcribing please let me know. I know some of you volunteered already.. but I am behind schedule in assignments. Chasing the kids, getting ready for my trip and the trip itself was a major undertaking. I am in the process of applying for permission to put the slave ledger of John R. White online with a search engine; as soon as a few more transcriptions become available, I can start building the database for online use. If you haven't picked up the book Soul by Soul: Life Inside the Ante-Bellum Slave Market, by Walter Johnson; please do. You can purchase it any online bookstore; including the link I have on my site at the African American Literature Book Club. Professor Johnson's book makes many references to the slave ledger and the Little Dixie slave market in Central Missouri. If you would like to send me a reminder notice for transcribing... please do..I'm juggle so many tasks...stay tuned...

Virginia - Visit the Randolph County Historical Society,223 N. Clark, Moberly, MO. They have all the published cemeteries, either city, church or private family. There are cemeteries that cant be located or have not been recorded for that reason. Also, the Hist. Soc has County histories, family histories, funeral home records, obits, surname indexes, city directories, published census, index of Randolph Co census from 1830-1880, many family histories that have been donated, military records, on and on. The Little Dixie Public Library on 4th Street in Moberly is a good place to search. They have the Randolph co census on microfilm and the Moberly paper from 1876, plus other resources. The court house in Huntsville is also a source for primary records and the only source for unpublished county records. All three sites are a must because they have different source matherial. Good luck on your visit. Cecy Virginia McBride wrote: > Do you live in Randolph County? I have relatives buried there and would > sure like to know where.

Does anyone on the list have any information regarding the Old Age Assistance Act of 1934-1937? Although I thought it was a federal act, from the information I have been able to find, each county in a state managed their own applicants. If so, which office in Randolph County managed the applications and were those people automatically transferred from Old Age Assistance to Social Security when it became law in 1937? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. Helen Bichel

Everybody - I am going to do a program on cemeteries for the Randolph County Historical Society on May 25. I wonder if anyone knows of articles or information about the origin of cemeteries, the use of symbols on tombstones, etc. that I could use. It will be a slide show on Randolph Co cemeteries. Any help appreciated. Cecy Rice

Hello everyone, For the past month, I've been reading the book called Soul by Soul, Life Inside the Antebellum Slave Market written by Walter Johnson too... and have been in contact with Professor Johnson (he's from Columbia)... the ledger he references frequently in this book is the one I am transcribing with a group of volunteers. We could still use some help if anyone is interested. The ledger is about 300 hand written pages of John R. White's slave trading business in Central Missouri. The book also includes references to a large slaveowning family that owned many of my ancestors named TUTT. I am in the process of getting permission from the Western Historical Manuscript Collection in St. Louis to create an online searchable database of the materials. This should be a very interesting collection once it is completed. Most of the slaves have first and last names; as they were owned by Missouri slave owners.. and many were sold to Louisiana, Arkansas etc. The age, sex and amount of purchase, sale and new owners are noted. In many instances the former owner is also noted. It is a difficult document to transcribe...but I think the end result will tell a very interesting story about the plight about the enslaved people of Missouri. We could still use volunteers to transcribe Howard County, & St. Charles Black marriages and several slave schedules. If you run across a listing for ANY Black cemeteries in Missouri, please let me know. I receive many emails regarding black burial locations. If you have a link to a census transcription for 1870 or a slave schedule ... please let me know. New on the site: Mount Nebo Cumberland Presbyterian Roll Records for 1849 & 1859 http://www.rootsweb.com/~moafram/mtnebo.html Submitted by James F. Thoma, Webmaster for the MoGenWeb Cooper County Missouri site. The rolls appear to have been taken in 1849. The original roll separated members by 1) males, 2)females, and 3) colored males, and 4) colored females. In this compilation, he has combined the three rolls in order to keep the list alphabetized. But to keep some of the original flavor of the rolls, white men are denoted in "normal black type", white women are denoted in "italicized blue type", colored men are denoted in "normal pink type" and colored women are denoted in "italicized red type". By in large this record is very legible for its' age. Thanks. Enjoy. Traci Wilson Kleekamp African Americans In Missouri Http://www.rootsweb.com/~moafram

This was sent to the Howard county list, thought those in Randolph county, might also be interested.
