Hi Carole and all. I have a William P. DYSART b. 28 Dec 1835, Randolph Co. The history of Howard Co. says he is a son of Nicholas and Euphemia Donnelly GIVENS DYSART. This William P. was married (according to the article) 23 Apr 1870 to Dora BROWN. Was Susan Mary COLLINS his second wife. and are the birth dates in the history article of 1835 for William P., Sr. incorrect? I have Susan b. abt 1841, Randolph Co., and the dau of Christian COLLINS and Catherine HIGBEE.

Dysart, better known to his many friends in Columbia and Boone county and to many all over Missouri as "Jack" Dysart, and Miss Louise Britts, of Clinton, Mo, were married Saturday afternoon at the home of the bride in Clinton I believe this is John Christian Dysart b. abt 1869. His parents were William P. Dysart Sr (1827-1886) and Mary Susan Collins b. abt 1842 (she was a dau. of Christian Collins and Catherine Higbee). His brother Wm P Dysart Jr might have sold his farm to my great grandfather James E. Lessly around 1900 or so. Carole >>
