Matt, Looks like you've been swamped, but when you get a chance I'd appreciate you looking for POWERS or RYAN in these documents. They were in Ripley County in the mid-late 1800's, but don't know where they were prior to that time. Thanks!

It contains a general history, a brief history of each county, and numerous biographical sketches of prominent citizens in each county. Ripley is included in this document as are many other counties in the Southern MO and Northern AR region. There are also a BUNCH of biographical sketches on many folks that lived in the region. If you have any relatives who lived in Ripley or surrounding counties during the time from when the County was founded til around 1890 or so they may be listed in here. I'll be happy to do lookups for folks and if there is enough interest I may see if Jackie will post this to the Ripley website.

I went through the index and here's a list of everyone that I have biographies (sketches) on that are listed as being from Ripley Co. Since most of the requests for lookups are from persons doing research on people from Ripley Co (which would make sense being that this is a forum for Ripley Co :-) I went ahead and just listed those folks below. Again, if you have any requests for anyone outside of Ripley Co in the surrounding area please feel free to e-mail me and I'll do my best to look them up and see if they are in there. Also, if I missed anyone requesting a lookup I apologize and please e-mail me again. I would also request that you change the subject and add your surname to the end of the subject line for all future lookup requests. This will help me keep the requests straight so I'll know which surnames go where. If you have multiple surnames just add one to the subject then list them all in the body of the e-mail. James E. Adams John Morgan Atkinson Herman Borth John Percy Campbell Morgan White Cotton Zarah A. Eaton Christopher Columbus Hughes Thomas Mabrey Joel G. Claren Andrew J. McCollum John H. Nunnelee John F. Patterson William A. Pearce Abner Jefferson Ponder Daniel K. Ponder P. J. Ponder Joseph Addison Pope William Proctor David B. Young Thanks, Matt Patterson
