Donna, Sorry about that. I don't think there is anyone asking specifically about Judge Morgan White Cotton. It's just that I got SO MANY requests that I decided to go through every bio that I have and post the ones to the group that are from Ripley Co. If I knew about copyright laws and was sure I wouldn't be breaking any I'd just scan the whole 800 pages in aand post it all to a website where anyone who was interrested could just download the whole thing.

Thanks, Marie

Lewis died sometime between 1878 ( last child was born) and 1880 (not on the census and Mariah was listed as a widow). He stated he was born in Tennessee. His father, John B. was born in Arkansas and his mother, Caroline, was born in Tennessee....according to the 1860 census. Marie

Thank You, Matt for doing these lookups. It is really appreciated,, Could I ask for a lookup for the surname Glass.. Dr E.V. Glass of Ripley Co.is an uncle of my GGrandfather Mose Doolin. Thank You in advance Brenda

CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS HUGHES. This prominent and successful tiller of the soil owes his nativity to Jefferson County, Ark., where he was born, in 1840, to Matthew and Clara (Hill) Hughes, who were born in Crittenden County, Ky., and Maryland, respectively. Their marriage occurred on Blue Grass soil, and in Crittenden County, where Mr. Hughes has spent his entire life, with the exception of a few years when he resided in Jefferson County, Ark. He is now over eighty years of age, has been a lifelong and successful farmer, and prior to the war had accumulated a comfortable fortune, but lost heavily during that time. His life has been active, industrious and honorable, and he has long been a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and socially a member of the A. F. & A. M. His father, William Hughes, removed to Crittenden County, Ky., from South Carolina in a very early day, and there died in 1852, a wealthy farmer. He served in the Revolutionary War when quite young, and was also a participant in one of the later wars. He was of Irish origin. His wife, Nancy Rowe, died in Kentucky after bearing him a large family. The maternal grandfather, William Hill, came from Maryland to Kentucky with his second wife, engaged in farming in Crittenden County, and here passed from life. His first wife, the mother of Mrs. Hughes, died in Maryland. Mrs. Hughes was a worthy lady, an earnest member of the Methodist Church, and died in 1879. The following are the children born to her and herhusband: Melvina (deceased); Arminta Isabelle, the deceased wife of William Crow; William, of Illinois; Harvey, of Crittenden County, Ky.; Andrew Jackson, of Illinois; Thomas, of Crittenden County; Christopher C.; Francis M. died young; Sidney K. died young; Joseph resides in Crittenden County; Ann is the widow of Benjamin Roach; and Caroline is the wife of James Duvall, of Dyer County, Tenn. The early life of Christopher C. Hughes was spent on a farm, with very meager opportunities for acquiring an education. During the Civil War he served in all about two years, and was part of the time with Gen. Forrest, and was a participant in many skirmishes in Kentucky and Tennessee. In 1867 he was married to Amanda, daughter of Samuel and Narcissa Heath, who were all born in Crittenden County, the father's birth occurring in 1812. He is still living. To the union of Mr. and Mrs. Hughes ten children have been given: Ambiazeller; Augustus; Ernest; Rebecca, wife of Letis Thompson; Andrew Jackson; Minnie, wife of William Cline; Jennie; Mary; Charley and Gertie. Mr. Hughes made his home in Kentucky until 1870, when he came to Ripley County, Mo., and in this section has improved two good farms. He now resides near Naylor, where he has a good and well-improved farm of 160 acres of rich bottom land. He is strictly a self-made man, for he had nothing on commencing the battle of life for himself, and is now one of the leading farmers of the county. Although he has been a lifelong Democrat and has warmly supported his party on all occasions, he has never been an office seeker. His first presidential vote was cast for Seymour in 1868. Socially he is a member of Faithful Lodge No. 304, of the A. F.&A.M.

ZARAH A. EATON. This enterprising business man is successfully engaged in dealing in timber, and is also the proprietor of a well-appointed mercantile establishment at Varner, Mo. He is a native of Licking County, Ohio, where he first saw the light of day in 1829, but his parents, Joseph and Euincy (Curtis) Eaton, were born in the State of New York, the birth of the former occurring in 1796. They removed to Ohio in i8ii, and in 1838 to Peoria County, Ill., where Mr. Eaton died in 1857, and his widow in Woodford County, 111., in 1890. He was a Congregationalist in his religious belief, and she was a Methodist. Mr. Eaton followed farming throughout life, was a man of prominence and influence in the different localities in which he resided, and in politics was first an old-line Abolitionist and after a Republican. During the early part of his life he taught school for some time. His father, Joseph Eaton, died in Licking County, Ohio, where he had farmed for many years. He was of English descent and his people came to this country over 200 years ago. Zarah Curtis, the maternal grandfather, who was born in New England, but was an early settler in Licking County, Ohio, was a farmer by occupation, and a minister of the Methodist Church for many years. He was one of the first to preach Methodism in the United States, and was a very eminent evangelist and an able expounder of the Scriptures. He was the father of the distinguished Federal general, S. R. Curtis, who commanded the Army of the Southwest during the Civil War. Zarah A. Eaton was the fifth of ten children born to his parents: Alvin, of Kansas; Marcutia died in Illinois, the wife of Henry Smith; Judson died in Peoria, Ill., in 1849; Orsemus died in 1849; Zarah A.; Samuel resides in Kansas; James resides in Kansas; Henry is a resident of Ripley County, Mo.; Sarah died in Kansas, the wife of Samuel H, Wright; and Amanda is the widow of a Mr. Hazelbeck, of Illinois. Although Zarah A. Eaton's father was a school teacher, his (Zarah's) education was very much neglected, and his early life was spent on the frontier of Illinois. When quite young he developed considerable taste for hunting, and one day, when about fourteen years old, while following his favorite pursuit, came upon a drove of deer. He at once took aim but his gun would not fire. He made several attempts with the same result each time, and becoming disgusted he gave up trying and turned his thoughts to other matters. He began thinking of his lack of education, and then and there formed a determination to supply this deficiency. He revolved a plan in his busy brain, and upon his return home laid the matter before his elder brothers, and he soon won them to consent to his plan. They built a rude cabin on the farm, apart from the family residence, to which they repaired daily with their books, and each was teacher and pupil. By their united and continued efforts they in time became masters of the situation, and obtained good practical, common educations in this novel way. In 1856 Mr. Eaton was married in Peoria County, lilt, to Elizabeth daughter of Henry Wright. She was born in New York, and died in Varner, Mo4, in 1890, the mother of four children: Cora, wife of William Bontz, of New Mexico; Hattie H., wife of William Hauk, of Peoria, Ill., Viola; and Thaddeus, of Doniphan, Mo. Mr. Eaton lived for about five years in Neosho County, Kan., but returned to Illinois, and in i88ç came to Varner, Mo., where he has since made his home. He has been engaged in the timber business in one way or another nearly all his life, and is now engaged in handling ties and other timber. During his last residence in Illinois he operated a coal mine. He was once assessor of Peoria County, and was once county judge of Neosho County, Kan. Socially he is a member of Faithful Lodge No. 304, of the A. F. & A. M., at Fairdealing, and though formerly a Democrat in politics, and cast his first presidential vote for Pierce in 1852, he is now a stanch Republican. He is a shrewd, yet always honorable business man, and his success is due to his own efforts.

JUDGE MORGAN WHITE COTTON. Judge Morgan White Cotton, probate judge of Ripley County, Mo., and a man well and favorably known in this part of the State, was born in Reynolds County, Mo., May 10, 1847, to the marriage of Isaac White Cotton and Christine (Jeffrey) Cotton. Like many of the prominent citizens of this county, Isaac White Cotton was a native of Tennessee, and there made his home until about 1840 when he came to Missouri. Here he settled in the woods of Reynolds County, on Webb's Creek, and began improving and clearing. Few settled here before he did, and he experienced all the hardships and privations of the early Pioneers. His entire life was spent in tilling the soil, and he remained in Reynolds County until his death in 1884, when fifty years of age. Previous to the Civil War he was elected county assessor, and about the time of the breaking out of hostilities he was holding the office of sheriff. He was in the first six months' service during the war. Mrs. Cotton died during these stirring times. Mr. Cotton was afterward married to Miss Jeanette Davis, and after her death he married again. Politically he was a strong Democrat, and fraternally a Mason. Judge Cotton was one of a family of eight children born to his father's first marriage! and he spent his school days in Reynolds County. During the Latter part of the war he was in the Confederate service, Ccl. Polio ck's regiment, and was in the Missouri raid. He surrendered at Jackson- port, Ark., in June, 1865, and afterward commenced farming in Reynolds County, continuing that occupation until 1870, when he became a minister in the Missionary Baptist Church. For two years he followed his ministerial duties in Reynolds, Carter and Ripley Counties, and after that located in Ripley County, Kefley Township, where he cultivated the soil. While there he was justice of the peace, but at the end of four years he moved to west Missouri and Kansas, where he worked at blacksmithing and wagon making for some time. Returning to Ripley County he followed the same occupation for six years, and during that time was elected county assessor, which position he held for two years. Later he was elected probate judge,held the position four years, and received the nomination for the same office by the Democratic party recently. In the year 1868 he was married to Miss Mary E.

Thank you so much Matt for the bio on Andrew McCollum... your a blessing. Jackie

Kay, No I didn't go to high school in Grandin. I was born in 1959 in Doniphan but we lived my school years in Poplar Bluff. My dad Hubert Ezell (born in 1940) is Johnny and Jesses' cousin. Their father James and my dad's father Woody were brothers. I do have a picture ( I believe) of Shiloh school when my dad went there. There are several people in the picture although I don't believe he has ever been able to recall all the names. Donna

Only to his father, John B. born ca 1810ish. My Lewis was born in 1838. Thanks anyway, Marie

The only date I have for her is her birth in 1859 Washington County Missouri. She was born to Mary Ann HOPKINS and Murrell Green EZELL.However, I do have s portion of a "memory book" (by Eunice Thelma Ezell born at Grandin Mo Dec 14, 1917.) Eunice was my grandpa Woodrow (Woody) Ezells' cousin. There is some Powers' references in it. It reads: "1896 - Jul. 9 18 month child of Robert Powers died." The following was wrote by Johnny Ezell. Powers - (McKague Cemt. located off highway K near Grandin forrest tower and close to sight of old Emmons school house - sec.4 - T2 + N, R3E - on "old Wolf Place" about 12 to 15 graves - only two listed by name, rest with rocks. in Dec. 1976 - Mary Ellen Jerome - d. 1 -3 -1869 26 yrs old Dau. of M. Powers. - Born in Ireland. One more reference he has written (I don't know if it is a death date or a birth date) : Feb. 3-1880 Bridget Powers age 76 mother of Lawarnce Power and Mary Ellen Jerome died. Hope some of this helps......or at least gives you another place to look.
