    1. KY to MO...Harvey/Patterson/Richardson
    2. Alison Bigbee
    3. Hi..I have 3 families that came to MO from KY by 1820..William Harvey (married Polly Robertson) migrated to Howard County, MO along with the Thomas Patterson family (William's daughter, Mary Jane Harvey, married Thomas Patterson 1804 in Madison County, KY.) William Harvey (d. about 1819) was a Revolutionary War veteran and is listed as being buried in Howard County, although I don't know where. Thomas Patterson died about 1830 in Howard County, MO.he and Mary Jane are still alive (age 40-50) in the 1830 Howard County, MO census. I don't know where their burials are either. Both the Harvey's and Pattersons were in Prairie Township, Howard County, MO. My husband descends from Thomas and Mary Jane Harvey Patterson's daughter, Minerva Patterson..she was born about 1805 in KY and died June 1881 in Roanoke, Randolph County, MO at the age of 76 years, 5 months and 9 days. She is buried in Roanoke Cemetery along with her son, W. Berry Richardson (b. 1852, d. in Armstrong, Howard County, MO in 1924.) I don't believe that W. Berry Richardson ever married.I have his death certificate but have yet to locate an obituary for him. Minerva Patterson married Schuyler Richardson 1834 in Howard County, MO. The family located to Macon County, MO 1840-1860 then Schuyler and Minerva went to Howard County (living with Rice Patterson, Minerva's brother) in 1870 and in 1880 Roanoke, Randolph County, MO. I have yet to find out anything about the death date/burial of Schuyler Richardson..he was still alive in 1892 as per this article found in Howard co, MO Newspapers, Vol 1 (1885--1894) abstracted by Sherry Raleigh-Adams, Apr 1, 1892 - "Schuyler Richardson, father of W.B. Richardson of Roanoke, is in his 81st year. Since the death of his wife, he has been making his home with his children in Chariton, Randolph and Howard counties. Some two weeks ago, he mounted his horse and rode up to Cairo. He is a democrat of the old school." Schuyler Richardson lists being born in KY in all the census records I have found him in..I am not sure what county. I do have information on most of the children of Schuyler and Minerva Patterson Richardson if anyone is interested: Melsena b. 1829, John Harvey b. 1836.my husband's direct ancestor, Lucinda F. b. 1838, James b. 1843, Sarah M. b. 1845, Rice b. 1850 and W. Berry b. 1852. I am continuing to search for information about the death/burial of Schuyler Richardson and any information that may lead to who his parents were:-) Thanks to a great list for all the information about the migration of families from KY to MO!
