I would like information regarding Albert Wesley Morrow (he was called Wes). His wife was Lulu Mayden Morrow. They lived in Taneyville, Mo in the Mayden home. They were my Great Uncle & G Aunt. My parents went to Missouri often so visited with them then but I know very little about them - children don't pay much attention to relationship. They did not have children & they sometimes referred to Wes's father as judge? Thank you Thelma

Thanks for that website... MY POINT IS: Don't believe everything you find in the IGI records.. read below!!!! I did some browsing for my 3rd great grandparents, MARY MORROW who m. Leonard Stump ca. 1820 in Hardy Co. VA (WV). But I can't believe the errors... One IGI record says that Leonard was born ca. 1770-80 or so.. and that he died by 1826.. NOT SO!!! There was another Leonard Stump who did live and die about that time. It has been established that he was either an uncle or a cousin.. but definitely not my Leonard Stump, III who m. Mary MORROW. Another record has what seems to be the correct info.. Leonard Stump was b. ca. 1799 in Hardy Co. VA and Mary MORROW was b. ca. 1802. They married ca. 1820 in Hardy Co VA. (NOT IN THE IGI RECORDS that I can find) They shortly thereafter moved to Gasconade Co. MO where in1850 a large family is listed. Their oldest known son was my gg grandfather, James Perry Stump, who was born in VA before they moved to MO. He m. Sarah J. Rogers in Osage Co. MO (where her father was a judge). They lived in Gasconade Co. where father Leonard and James got land from the Gov't.. (see Missouri BLM)... James was in the Mexican War I found this listed on a military record card in the MO archival records but I can't seem to find any other info on his role in the war.. ??? James died shortly after 1860.. Was he in the Civil War? I haven't found anything to confirm or deny??? At one time I seem to recall he died of a wagon injury.. but I can't find that info anymore??? Not sure where I got that.. but I found his estate sale advertised in a St. Louis paper shortly after his death. He and Sarah had 1 son, Martin Stump (a family name of hers) and 6 daughters. (I descend from one of the youngest daughters, Arlevia who m. David J. Lemons of MO.) Sarah Rogers Stump later married a James Beasley and had 3 more daughters.. Leonard and Mary's son, Gideon was in the CW. I found a record where he died in Arkansas due to CW injuries. He never married as far as we know...he was quite young. Another son, Thomas Benton Stump has descendants who still live near Gasconade Co. MO (also my childhood home territory), I think in the Pulaski Co. area. My quest is now to find the parents of MARY MORROW, b. ca. 1802... Any ideas from the MORROW researchers are VERY MUCH appreciated?
