As for the obituaries, you can request a copy of the death certificate for each of them from Jefferson City, MO. There is a fee of either $10.00 or $12.00 for each copy. You might try writing to the Ray County Museum and ask them to check their records for a copy of an obituary. I can give you information from the census as to children if you still need that. Jeanne

Hi Barbee, I have included a listing of the Pettus Cemetery. I was there a few years ago and took pictures of John and Amy Phillips' tomb stones (and Richard Phillips for that matter) if you are interested. There are a number of Phillips relatives in the cemetery. Gentrys, Owens and Pauls. I don't have any knowledge of a specific Pettus connections, but I believe that back in Virginia the Phillips, Pettus, McGills and Gentrys were all related and traveled together from VA, to KY, MO, KS and then to parts west incl. OR. I have not been able to determine where in VA these people came from but by tracking the satellite families I hope to narrow the field and then take a trip to VA and KY and spend some time digging! Pettus Cememtery Elkhorn, Ray County MO Located on the Glenn Pettus farm, east of the Elkhorn Elementary School on Highway 10 in Ray County MO. This is a transcript of a record by Carol Colleen Crowley and Joni Harris on November 5, 1985. It was passed on to my brother and me by Mr. Pettus. He says all the folks in this cemetery are related. I was in this cemetery in the summer of 2002 and took some pictures of the Phillips tombstones. The whole cemetery was badly overgrown. The cemetery is a good way off the road. It is fenced in as it is in the middle of a pasture. Mary A. Haynes d. Oct. 13, 1902 aged 39 yrs, 9 mos. 24 days dau. of Albert Haynes Albert M. Haynes d.

Hello! Gatsey is my 4th great grandmother, but I do not have any death information about her -- just the same information as you mention in your email. How are you related? I am descended from her daughter, Keziah and then Keziah's daughter, Jemima Ellen who married Isaac Findley in Oregon. I will be looking forward to your answer, however, I am going away for a week plus beginning Monday. >Message Board Post: > >I am searching for a death record, probably cemetery, for a Gatsey Hall, >born abt 1804 in North Carolina and died after 1840 in Ray County( I >believe).

Hi, I have a Pearl Allen married to Hershel Kline in Springfield, Green Co.Mo. Pearls mother was an Alexander. Pearl died in 1978. Was interested to see if you might have info on Pearl and her family. Hershel Kline was my grandmothers brother, son of Jacob Kline and Martha Couch of Green Co.Mo.

I have run across the JMA/Sarah Frakes names before and have always felt that they were connected to my JMA family. (By the way, my James Madison Allen was my gggrandfather.

If so, both your family and mine went from TN to Ray County and then to the Springfield area in SW Missouri. That is why I think there may be a connection?

I am not sure about all of my Allen family but my George W Allen who died in Springfield actually died during the civil war. The rest of them stayed in the Ray/Clay county area. The James Madison Allen that I have in my files was a brother to my George W Allen. My Allen's came from the Newport area in Cocke County, Tennessee. -----Original Message----- From: Jim Allen [mailto:jeallen@bendcable.com] Sent: Saturday, November 20, 2004 10:55 AM To: MORAY-CGA-L@rootsweb.com Subject: RE: [MORAY-CGA] Allen family in Ray County Thank you for your reply!
