Hi Linda Enjoyed your post. > 1. Ambrose Waller BURTON. Born 1 Feb 1812 in KY. Died 1847. Ambrose and his family are found in the 1850 census for Randolph County. His will was probated on 23 Jun 1859, so his dod is around that time. > He married Martha Emily FORT, daughter of William FORT & Martha Frances Sugg > GORHAM, 22 Sep 1836 in Randolph Co., MO. Born 8 Nov 1818 in TN. Died About > 1840. I don't think that Martha died about 1840, since she is on this 1850 census. Carole posted this earlier about the census: [I recently got a copy of a page of the 1850 census for Randolph Co., MO - specifically page 274. On the page is listed the family of "A.W. Burton" - or Ambrose Waller Burton (age 39 in the census). This Ambrose Burton was the son of May Burton and Nancy Woodfoldk.Listed in the household with Ambrose is his wife Martha Emily Fort ( age 32) and their children William (12), Martha (10), Frances (8), May (6 and a male), John (3) and Burilla (1 month).] The children's birth dates can be known from this census. > 2. William BURTON. Born About 1838 in MO. I received this information (probably also from Carole): William Fort Burton was b. 22 Aug 1837 Randolph Co., d. Feb 1923. He m. Sarah Coleman Battle, b. 27 Feb 1844 TX, d. 30 Jan 1902 TX. Had 8 children: Burilla (f); Lou (f); May (m), Cherokee (f); Jennie Wallace; Henry Fort; Sue; Irene. I didn't have any of the other lines you gave and it was great to get them. John Wayland http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~wayland/

I came up with one. I have William Arthur Bradley (1880-1961 son of William Wright Bradley and Amanda Jane Lewis) marrying Eva Leo Dougherty (1891-1915). I have Eva as being the daughter of Joseph Dougherty (b. 1866) and Susan Green (b. 1865). I have two children for William Arthur and Eva Leo - Glenn Bradley and Okla Mae Bradley. William Arthur Bradley was related to Gen. Omar Bradley. William' Arthur's father, William Wright Bradley, was the son of Thomas Smith Bradley and Barbary Ellen Cruse. Thomas and Barbara were the parents of eight children including the aforementioned William W. Another of their sons was Thomas Minter Bradley who was Omar's paternal grandfather. Thomas Minter Bradley married Sarah Elizabeth Lewis (dau of John F. Lewis and Margaret A. ?). I have nine children listed from them. Their oldest son was John Smith Bradley who was Omar's father. It is from the Lewis family that I gain my connection to Omar Bradley. I am descended from Hester Ann Lewis who was the above mentioned Sarah's aunt. As it turns out I am also related to the descendants of William Wright Bradley and Amanda Jane Lewis. Amanada was also a daughter of John F. Lewis and Margaret A. ? I have a question for you Carolyn. Do you know when your grandfather Joseph Calvin Dougherty was born? Carole Brace

Her Father sent her to college in TN, which was rare in those times when educating a female was thought to be a waste of time and money. She taught Latin and Algebra for many years and had married the Rev. J.W. Henderson. They spent their lives "preaching" and "teaching", mostly to the Indians in Arizona and New Mexico. They had 3 sons and 1 daughter. First child was born in Missouri and the rest in Iowa. So they left Missouri between 1890 and 1893, and left Iowa for the southwest in the early 1900's. Date: Friday, August 15, 1997 1:30:52 PM From: Flame60244 Subj: Those MANNINGS in MO again To: JUPEP Hi Linda, Been a long time since we connected, but I read your post in the genealogy forum today and see another link. Darned if I can remember telling you this before--but my latest Manning was Lela (she was b. 1863 in Cairo, MO) who married my Ggrfather, Rev. James W. Henderson. They met and married while attending (both of em) the university of Missouri. He recieved his Bachelor of Divinity in 1890. He was a Presbyterian minister. He did missionary work in NM and AZ with the Indians and she traveled all over the country with him, dragging their 4 kids along. (My redheaded grandfather remembered living on an Indian reservation when he was a kid) I've recently been in contact with the daughter of one of those 4 kids. Will go over the letters again and see if I find more Manning info from them. I also have Lena's death certificate. It states her mother as Martha A.Burton Manning and father as William F. Manning. I have the census' for 1900 and 1920 for James and Lela and kids. The 1900 says Lela's father was born in AL, the 1920 say he's born in IL, and Lela's death certificate says he's born in MO. <throwing hands up in air> Also in 1920 Martha is living with James and Lela, so William is probably deceased. The Presbyteran link is strong here. Am still without that other generation, or William's siblings, or if he was a minister too. Let me know what you've come up with and I'll do the same. Good Luck.

THE STORY BEHIND "TAPS It all began in 1862 during the Civil War, when Union Army Captain Robert Ellicombe was with his men near Harrison's Landing in Virginia. The Confederate Army was on the other side of the narrow strip of land. During the night, Captain Ellicombe heard the moan of a soldier who lay mortally wounded on the field. Not knowing if it was a Union or Confederate soldier, the captain decided to risk his life and bring the stricken man back for medical attention. Crawling on his stomach through the gunfire, the captain reached the stricken soldier and began pulling him toward his encampment. When the captain finally reached his own lines, he discovered it was actually a Confederate soldier, but the soldier was dead. The captain lit a lantern. Suddenly, he caught his breath and went numb with shock. In the dim light, he saw the face of the soldier. It was his own son. The boy had been studying music in the South when the war broke out. Without telling his father, he enlisted in the Confederate Army. The following morning, heartbroken, the father asked permission of his superiors to give his son a full military burial despite his enemy status. His request was partially granted. The captain had asked if he could have a group of Army band members play a funeral dirge for the son at the funeral. That request was turned down since the soldier was a Confederate. Out of respect for the father, they did say they could give him only one musician. The captain chose a bugler. He asked the bugler to play a series of musical notes he had found on a piece of paper in the pocket of his dead son's uniform. This wish was granted. This music was the haunting melody we now know as "Taps" that is used at all military funerals. These are the words to "TAPS" Day is done, Gone the sun, >From the lakes, >From the hills, >From the sky. All is well. Safely rest. God is nigh.

John - maybe you can help me a little bit. I was always told that Omar Bradley was a cousin of my grandfather Joseph Calvin Dougherty. The family sometimes called him "cousin omer" (pronounced that way not O-maaar but om'r. Do you know of any connection he had to the Dougherty family?

I should have mentioned in my earlier post that Col. William Quayle and Mary Elizabeth Terrill had the son, Charles L. Quayle, b. 15 Sep 1867 Mexico, MO, d. 4 Nov 1902 Moberly.

James was a minister and lawyer (LLD); president of Mt. Pleasant Baptist College. Had two children by first marriage, three by second, eight by third wife. Each of the first three wives had a child who died in infancy, but 12 survived, and all this is on my Terrill genealogy page on my site below. The College burned to the ground on 15 Jul 1882. He apparently fled to Texas during the Civil War, for the safety of his family, as his dtr. Maude was born there. He then returned to MO after the war. Nancy's nickname was "Colie". She is apparently the sister to the one in your post here, as here is the wedding notice from a post you made in the past: "Terrill, James W. -- President of Mt.

MOBERLY A SCENE of WILD EXCITEMENT “On Saturday evening last three men came to this city, stopped at the Grand Central Hotel and registered as Wm. Curry, J. Curry and G. Smith, Ottumwa, Iowa. They are notorious horse thieves and desperate characters, being three brothers whose real names are Nicholas, John and Richard Cooke of Mt Sterling, Ill. As will be seen from an extract below, the sheriff and his posse attempted to arrest them at Topeka, Kans., the other day, when there were four of the men and two women. The sheriff was badly wounded, the deputy was slightly wounded and the thieves escaped. Marshal Lynch received intelligence that these desperadoes were in the city, as they were recognized on our streets yesterday. This morning, about twenty minutes before 12 o’clock he with Officers Stidger and Keller stopped them on Reed street, just east of Williams and in front of Mrs. Keiser’s millinery store, when one of them instantly drew his revolver and opened fire. The marshal and his posse returned the fire. Then the Cookes began to run and fire as they retreated. They ran west to Fourth street, thence south to Burkhartt, thence west to Fifth, thence north to the alley and thence west to Sixth street, coming out at the rear of the Baptist church. Here were two horses with side saddles on, hitched in the rear of the church and belonging to Mr. Thornburg. His wife and cousin had ridden in and hitched them there only a few moments before. Then Nick and John mounted and started south on Sixth street to Fiske avenue. Thence they turned west and followed the avenue to the rear of Ben Whites’ residence (old Towner place.) All this time they were being followed by a large crowd of men who kept up a continual firing, the balls whizzing around in every direction. One of them followed the alley west to Elizabeth street and thence to the woods, closely pursued by the marshal and others. The game being divided the crowd divided, some pursued the men on horseback, and some the fugitive on foot. As stated above, the two men on horseback were overtaken in the southwest part of town. A well directed shot from Charley Rodes’ shot gun tumbled one of them from his horse, the load striking him about the head. Capt. Jim Ragsdale, who had previously shot the other in the hip, rode, up behind the solitary horseman and knocked him from his saddle with the unloaded shot gun. Both were captured there. It was found that John Cooke was badly wounded, having been shot three times in the first firing on Reed street. He had to be brought in on a dray, as he was too desperately wounded to walk. The other, Nicholas, was wounded in the hip, but was able to [sic] walk to own. Since the above was written, we have seen Marshal Lynch who says that he followed the now dead man north through the alley between Clark and Williams firing at him as he ran till he exhausted his pistol. The man turned west on Coates street pursued still by the marshal. Somewhere west of Williams the desperado secured a horse and jumping upon it fled as fast as he could. The marshal got a horse from the livery stable and called upon Mr. Than Haworth to accompany him. The two pursued the fugitive to a hollow in the vicinity of the reservoir, where horseback riding was impracticable. Here he dismounted and attempted to climb a hill on foot. Either by accident or design, the desperado fell and Marshal Lynch closed in on him. But when he had got pretty close the fellow drew his revolver and fired four shots at the marshal whose pistol was empty. He then rose and attempted to get away. Marshal Lynch was satisfied the man was badly wounded and that all he had to do was to follow him. Cooke had not gone far before he fell a second time, when the marshal presented his empty pistol at him and ordered him to throw his pistol away. This he did, and when the marshal went up to the wounded man the latter begged that he would kill him at once. The marshal saw that the man was in a dying condition and sent some Negroes for a pail of water and others for a dray. The man sank rapidly and although alive when placed in the wagon, he was dead before he reached town. The body was taken to Williams Bros.’ undertaking establishment, where it was viewed by thousands of our citizens. On examining his pistol after the surrender, it was found that one chamber was still loaded; so that the Marshal ran a very norrow risk in going up on him as he did. Marshal Lynch lost a fine silver watch in the pursuit. After the termination of the chase, Mr. Nicholas Dessert of this city was called into to identify the dead man and the prisoners, which he did, having been raised with them at mt. Sterling, Ill. The worse wounded of the two, Nick Cooke, talks freely and sent a telegram to his mother, Mrs. John Shehan, Mt. Sterling, Ill., detailing the facts. He will die before to-morrow. During the pursuit, the men passed near the house of J. D. Rust. The men following were calling on everybody they saw for guns or pistols. Mrs. Rust ran into the house, produced a shotgun and cartridges and handed them to some one, who in turn gave them to Mr. G. L. Hassett. Hurrying form Fifth to Sixth street, Mr. Hassett handed them to Capt. Ragsdale who was on horseback and who subsequently knocked John Cooke from his horse with the gun. Moberly has not been so excited since it was a place. Everybody was following the desperados without knowing why or on what account. There were perhaps 150 shots fired from the beginning to the close of the game, and strange to say, although the shooting was indiscriminate, not a citizen was touched, though all three of the thieves were wounded several times. Below we give an account of the exploit of the four brothers (only three of whom were here) at Topeka not long since. The world is well rid of them, as they are desperate dare devils, capable of any crime. The inquest on the dead man is being held as we go to press. An inquest on another will more than probably have to be held to-morrow. The men were all well dressed and brought three $30 overcoates from Ben Levy this morning. NOTES: Richard Cook, who was killed, had $74.00 on his person, gold cuff and collar buttons, and was cleanly dressed. Had a big scar on his right thigh. Ball entered the small of his back about the belt and came out in his breast near the right nipple. Had two letters addressed to William Gannon, Moberly, Mo., one was postmarked at Topeka, the other at Kansas City; had also several of the Grand Central Saloon Pool checks. Nicholas Cook had $105 on his person. John had $5 on his person. The citizens generally deserve great credit for the promptitude with which they followed the Cookes to-day and eventually effected their capture. Both white men and colored men followed them, each vying with the other to be at the front. One of Mr. Thornbridge’s horses was shot in the thigh with a pistol ball and in the upper part of the hip with buckshot. The other was shot in the nose and near the left eye. The first was badly injured and will be a long time recovering if it ever does.”; MDM Monday 4 Dec 1882 Continues with the Topeka, KS events, from the Globe-Democrat

Thanks for that information, Cecy. The Society is doing a wonderful job. It would be great if I could get a copy of this when it is completed. If it is not going to be available online somewhere, such as the Randolph County site, then I would gladly pay the society for a copy of it. It would be nice to offer it on disc as well as print, if there is no worry about it being redistributed. That would have kept it from having to be typed in all over again. I agree that what you suggested would be a nice Eagle scout project. Maybe you could call some scoutmasters in that area and put a bug in some ears!

John - the Randolph County Historical Society did chart and record the tombstones of Oakland Cemetery, Moberly, MO several years ago. A volunteer entered it into a computer (it is a big cemetery) and the computer crashed and we are now in the process of putting it on the computer again. Several additions to the cemetery have been printed out and are available at the Historical Society. Elsberry did record the tombstones years ago. A great project for the eagle scouts would be of find, clean and record small family cemeteries in the county. The His. Soc. has done some and other people have done many, but there are still many left, quickly disappearing. Cecy John Wayland wrote: > Thanks for that information, Larry > > My father's parents Lloyd L.

Such a large cemetery and no computer. Records were all kept on index cards in a file that was all out of order. The people I was looking for, Lucy Dalton Watts and Elijah Watts, were nowhere to be found in the files. After some time we decided to leave and my husband found them! So...no everyone is even in their records. They have an older section with stones that are unreadable and no records! Very Sad. Lori

It looks like the same couple, but they show different children from those on the census. The 1850 census for Randolph Co., MO - specifically page 274. On the page is listed the family of "A.W. Burton" wife Martha ( age 32) and their children William (12), Martha (10), Frances (8), May (6 and a male), John (3) and Burilla (1 month). Maybe Carole can help us out. Carole, I tried to send you an email to ask if I could post your references, but apparently I had an old email address as it bounced back. >> Okay here goes. Page 304 of the book "Old Families of Randolph County, Missouri" states that Martha Fort, daughter of William Fort and Martha Frances Sugg Gorham, married Ambrose Burton. I found their marriage date of Sept 22, 1836 in the book "Missouri Marriages Before 1840" by Susan Ormesher. Also this same date was on a FTM Missouri Marriage Index CD that I own. The birth date for Ambrose Waller Burton that I have is Feb 1, 1812 and that for Martha Emily Fort is Nov 8, 1818 TN. I got both dates from my cousin Nelle Craig. Unfortunately Nelle passed on last year and I can no longer ask her what her sources were. The names and age of the children were all taken from a copy of a 1850 census page that I got from the Missouri Archives. Also I found the same children listed for the couple on a homepage at the Family Tree Maker website. I have no dates of death on either Ambrose or Martha. I have a new Burton contact that I could email to see if he has any further info on this family. I'll post whatever I find out. To date I havent found any member of this family in the 1860 census (which I am currently transcribing) except for Frances Burton. She appears in the household of William Fort (her grandfather) in Salt Spring Twp on handwritten page number 931. All for now. Carole

Thanks for that information, Larry My father's parents Lloyd L. Wayland, and Anne C. (Terrill) Wayland are buried in Oakland cemetery, as are many other relatives of mine. Most modern cemeteries have a chart of who is buried where, and it seems that this could be obtained. Of course, this would probably not have the dates on the stones. That would be a great project for some eagle scout to take on for a badge! Then the results could be posted on the Randolph County page.

I'm still trying to find the dates to the W H Maupin and Clara Maupin Obituaries that someone was so kind to send me back in November. Mahan Funeral home handled the services. I think it was around 1966. Thanks Gene

Gene - mahan funeral home is long gone. The Randolph county Historical Society has copies of all remaining records, some in late 1890's. Cecy GBox741343@aol.com wrote: > Is the Mahan Funeral Home still around? If so would they have records of > services held there? Gene Box
