This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Brookshier/ Brookshire, Thacker, Robison/Robinson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/XNB.2ACI/772 Message Board Post: I am looking for any information available on William Riley Brookshier/Brookshire (possibly a Jr.) who lived in Ray Co. sometime around 1843-1851. William was born 6-15-1821 in TN. We know by the births of his children that he moved to Ray Co. MO sometime between 1843 and 1849. His first wife whom we believe was a Robison/Robinson died sometime between April 1849 and March 1851. We desperately need her name and possibly a death date and burial place on her. We also know that between Sept. 1850 and March 1851 he married Elizabeth Thacker who is shown on the Ray Co., MO 1850 census living at home with her parents GB and Mary Thacker. Any information about William's first wife, a marriage record of him to Elizabeth or information about his parents or siblings would be most greatly appreciated. Thank you
