Great Jackie, I'll start sending them soon. BJ

Yes Betty, thank you... please send them direct to me and I'll add them to the site as we get to those cemeteries. Please indicate which cemetery they are in for each one. Also interpret the info on the stone for me unless it is very clear.

Jackie, I don't know if this will help or not, but I have taken pictures of several of my family members Tombstones. I would be glad to share them, just let me know if you are interested or not. I have Boshears, Ezell, Patterson, Crow, Stack and Franklin. They are from Masadonia, Shiloh, Oak Grove, Bellview and Amity Cemetery's. BJ

For those of you who are interested. The call for volunteers went out about two weeks ago to help with the cemetery project for our site. We have 5 volunteers that need to be thanked publicly... Becky Pyland Davis, Debbie Horine, Peggy Cannady, Dawn Pavlichek, and our only guy.. Matt Patterson. Due to the leg work, computer time, and patience with me..lol We are barking on a project that we hope will help those of you so far from home to make contact with the ancestors. On the cemetery pages, we have begun to link pictures of headstones to the names on the pages. I'm sure this project will never be complete, but due to the efforts of these people, it will be a blessing to many. There is one more thing that may help us. If you are harboring pictures of the headstones of your family members. I will be glad to post them to the site as we complete these pages. Just email them to me at tanimara@townsqr.com. Picture links are hit and miss at this time. Finished pages with several links on each page are Bennett and Pine Cem. Enjoy, and thank you so much to the volunteers out there who remain anonymous. Whether it is with this project, doing lookups, or answering queries. That's how it gets done.

Can someone do a marriage lookup for me? I'm looking for a young lady named: "Birdie" GRIFFIN who could have married in Ripley County to an unknown gentlemen between 1900-1907. "Birdie" may be short for Bridget, but I don't know for sure. Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

Found this info on Ellis site at Ancestry. Thought it might help someone in their research. Looking for siblings, parents of Lewis J. Ellis b 1817 NC, married a Rebecca probably in Tennessee. First two children: twins William J & Samuel born Tennessee 1838, then Rachel (my ancestor) born 15 Jun 1843 Ripley Co., Missouri, then Nancy Ellen b 1845 Ripley Co., Missouri, then 3 girls born Oregon Co., MO, Sarah 1847, & twins Suzan A & Martha J B 1849. Any help would be appreciated. Nancy Ellen married a David Davis and died in childbrith (of 4th daughter), Rachel Married James Francisc Sisco 12 Dec 1857 Ripley County, Missouri; Suzan married an A.C. Crafford 15 Nov 1868, Howell County, Missouri.

Hello all. I know there are a lot of Davis researchers on this list, and for some reason, I've never thought to inquire on this list about which DAVIS family most or some of you belong to. I'm looking for any and all descendants of Harvey Daniel Davis, who was born in 1868 in Missouri and is the son of J. Samuel DAVIS. He also has several sibings: George T.; Joseph; Lemuel. Harvey is in Doniphan on the 1880 census with his father, mother & siblings. He is also on the 1900 Doniphan, Missouri census with his wife and 2 daughters. By 1910, he has moved to Bradley County, Arkansas, and after that I've lost track. I have a bunch of information on his children: Mary Odessa, Irene, Samuel W., and William R., but would like to continue to flesh it out. If this rings any bells for anyone, please e-mail me. I have contacted another descendant, and am informed that Harvey & Emily Belle Warren DAVIS both died in Doniphan, and are probably buried there, but I cannot locate them as yet.

To all who so kindly responded to my inquiry, many thanks for the information you sent. Val and Andrew Lake were on separate pages of the census - Andrew being my great grandfather - but for the life of me even with new glasses I could not read the last column. I did copy the census and I thank you for your replies. Judy Neu Springwater, NY
