----- Forwarded Message ----- From: "Ray Heyden Burson" <[email protected]> Merrell Family Former local historian Jerry Ponder has long held that one of his ancestors, Nancy Emeline Merrell, first wife of Daniel Kinzie Crockett Ponder was killed by Union soldiers during the so-called Christmas "Massacre" skirmish at Pulliam's farm on Dec. 25, 1863. A tattered Daniel K. Ponder family bible was handed over to the Ripley Couinty Historical Society yesterday. It was found in an old house that was being torn down and had the following entries for Nancy Emeline Merrell -- "Nancy Emeline Ponder was born April the 1- 1832." "Daniel K. Ponder and Nancy Emeline Merrell was married November 28, 1851." "Nancy Emeline Ponder departed this life January 23d - 1864." -- Ray Burson, Ripley County Historical Society

Surviving children are: J.H. Keith, Centerville, MO, H.A. Keith jr., Mrs. Green Cavens, Mrs. Philip Napier and Mrs. Phillip Herman, all of county. Buried Union Cemetery near Ponder. "Ripley Co.

Death due to old age, but probably hastened by a fever and attack of grippe. pg. 110 - 23 Sept 1897 - 2 month old babe of Mr. & Mrs. John KEITH, who live near Tabor Mill place on Big Barren in Carter Co., died last Monday night at home of Hut KEITH, father of John. Buried Tuesday at Towles Cemetery. Babe had ailed since birth. The marriage records for Ripley Co. are on the website and you'll find several of your KEITH marriages there. I didn't see this family in Ripley on the 1880 census, and the obituary suggests timeframe of about 1885, so I suspect a check of the 1880 census in Illinois would find the KEITH family. Carmi, Illiois is in White Co. The Illinois marriages are on-line and the following is listed . . . KEITH, HUDSON A to GREER, SARAH J WHITE CO. 08/21/1862 KEITH, HUTSON A to SCOTT, CHARLOTTE GARRETT (MRS) WHITE CO. 09/09/1886 I'll leave you to play with this. Pamela G. Smith Gresham, OR

Would you check for a Hastin Riley bn May 1878 in your obituary book. He was on the 1900 Ripley Co, Mo Gatewood Township census with his family. It is rumored he died in a hunting accident. He is not on the 1910 census. Thank you. Geri Cullison Lilley [email protected]

The county sights on Roots web have been really good to me. Plus I have 2 other family members who are researching with me. Also the Missouri census lookups on rootsweb also gave me some good info.

However, I obviously did not make a copy of my note to you - it must have been one of the ones on the rootsweb page. Was this for Giles, Prater or Jackson? We are not having a lot of luck finding anything on the Giles and very little on Prater. Any information you have about good places to research in those counties would be appreciated.

Oops, I just realized that I failed to show the Township as being 24 North on my previous post regarding the possible "Rogers Graveyard". I just came home from the Ripley County Courthouse where I tried to see what I could find out about this cemetery. The 1st reference that I was able to find was on the Deed when Wiloby Roggers purchased this property from Willis McCusky & Wife in Jan 31, 1873. It showed 1/4 acre to be reserved for the "unnamed" graveyard. The ladies at the courthouse tried to help me in determining which graveyard is being referenced in this Deed but we were unable to find it listed either by name or by location. It apparently is an old family graveyard on private land. This could be where Willoughby Rodgers is buried? If you know anything about this graveyard, please let me know. Thanks, Nadeen

Hello List, I notice on the Ripley County Web page, Cemetery Listings, mention of the "Rogers Graveyard". Can you tell me where this cemetery is located? I have found reference to a graveyard on property being sold by the heirs of Willoughby Rodgers. This property is located in Ripley County, Section 22, Township North, Range 3East. I would love to locate this cemetery. Anything that you know about this cemetery would be most helpful! Please note my new email addy: [email protected] Thanks, Nadeen

If you can help this person, please reply to them directly as they are not on the list. --------- Forwarded message ---------- From: [email protected] I am looking for Silas Lemon in Ripley Co. MO. He was there in 1855. I lost him and no idea when he died. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi gang, I'm out of town this week, so won't be able to do lookups til next Monday the 30th. My computer will have them waiting, so will get back to you then. Pam Smith Gresham, OR

Thanks for the information, Shelley. My dad was adopted by Perry and Martha Simcox in 1903, so I guess your Mary is linked there. My mom was Mary Simcox (1895-1971) so you can see why I was interested in finding out about your GGG Grandmother.

--------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Shelley R. Woodson" <[email protected]> My GGG Grandmother was Mary SIMCOX (1870-1905). She married my GGG Grandmother Grundy Alexander BINGHAM in 1900 in Clay Co., AR. She died in Ripley County. Grundy's brother Samuel BINGHAM was m. to Mary Catherina PATTERSON.
