built in 1845 by James Gardner on Weaubleau Creek. Anyone know anything about this mill? Thanks Brenda

does anyone on this line know someone who would do look ups in Deepwater, Henry Co., Missouri? Thank you, [email protected]

Does anyone have access to census records around1900-1920 that could do a look-up for me? I'm looking for information on Elmer Emmett Tyree and his wife, Sally Gertrude Sharkey. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Hester

I am still researching the family of JOEL REDMAN/REDMOND, born early 1800's in Iredell County, NC and wife, Delilah. Would like to obtain information on his family and their descendents, such as occupations, land aquisitions, children, grandchildren, etc. I did find that it was thought he may have been a pioneer of St. Clair County. Any information appreciated. Selena Redmond-Goodin North Carolina [email protected]

I do know of the Schmidts however, they may have been part of the German community in Appleton City? I am looking for records on my Herrmanns and my Kempfs who were there in the 1860's and beyond. [email protected]

Moving backward in time, I have puzzled over the Frederick Smith/Schmidt family, and wondered if they were connected by marriage to the Clarksons. I have a Malinda (unk) who married James Clarkson and who might be the M. Clarkson in the Frederick Smith family. The name was spelled both Smith & Schmidt in census records.

Hello: If there is indeed somebody kind enough to do a obit look up in Osceola Missouri, I'd be interested. I just today have found Ralf E. Caves, born 12/09/1898, who died 01/02/1966, buried in Osceola Cemetery, St. Clair County, Missouri. I believe this is my grandfather Martie Cave's brother, and I don't know much about their family at all. The obituary, if found in Osceola Missouri, would help me greatly. Along with Ralf E. Caves, was buried Elizabeth Fern Caves born 1901 and died 1944. If either of these two peoples' obituary could be found and sent me, I'd be very appreciative. My mom, now 81 and frail, knows very little about her father or his father. Thomas

Is there anyone on this line that would do two obit look ups for me in the 1980's for my grandparent? thanks, Lena

Hello I am sending this to the St. Clair County, Missouri Mailing List, and related surname lists in the hopes that somebody knows something of this information, that might help. Even if you can provide one single piece of the puzzle, please contact me. Thomas Subj: Thomas Rush of Virginia Date: 7/14/00 4:26:38 PM Central Daylight Time From: Travelback4u To: [email protected] Hello there: I just finished up revisiting your site and information on the descendants of Thomas Rush of Virginia. What I have been researching for over two years, is a Merit Cave who resided in St. Clair County Missouri in 1860 Census. In St. Clair County, Missouri, there is a marriage of Merritt H. Cave to a Mary Earles in 1861. The Cave family members that I am researching include a Merit Cave, age 8, in the St. Clair County Missouri 1860 Census. Now, what I am suspecting is this. Your Merrit H. Cave married Catherine (Kitty) Rush June 21, 1835 in Monroe County, Missouri, as shown in your information. I found a Merrot Cave marrying a Fannie Geary on June 23, 1872 in Monroe County Missouri. I also found a Merritt H. Cave marrying a Mary Earles on May 14, 1861 in St. Clair County, Missouri. Now, my great grandfather, Merritt Cave, age 8, born 1852 in Missouri, was residing in St. Clair County in the 1860 Census with sister Josephine Cave age 13, and another sister Martha Ann Cave age 18, with Martha's husband Charles F. Ashworth age 22, and Martha and Charles' daughter Sarah C. Ashworth 10 months old, born October 12, 1859. Martha Ann Cave and Charles F. Ashworth (actual name: Charles Fenton Mercer Ashworth) were married November 23, 1856 in St. Clair County Missouri, and are raising Martha's brother and sister. It is not known yet why Martha Ann Cave and her husband are raising Martha's brother and sister. But I suspect that Merritt Cave is deceased, having died between 1890 and 1915 in a forest fire in the Mark Twain National Forrest. (From Family Rumors pasted down thru the family to my mother and I). So, your Merritt H. Cave married Catherine (Kitty) Rush on June 21, 1835 in Monroe County Missouri. They may have had children: Martha Ann Cave, born 1842, Josephine Cave born 1847 and Merrit Cave born 1852. Catherine (Kitty) Rush may have died in child birth when Merrit was born in 1852, but such is speculation. (Merritt H. Cave may have remarried, marrying Mary Earles on May 14, 1861, but who is Merrot Cave who married Fannie Geary on June 23, 1872 back in Monroe County, Missouri, where your Catherine (Kitty) Rush married Merrit H. Cave) My grandfather, Martie Caves (spelled with the s) is the son of Merritt Cave and Jenny, who were residing in Butler County, Missouri, with their son Charles A. Cave, age 2, born in Illinois, in the 1880 Census. (Charles A. Cave is likely named after the man who raised him, Charles F. Ashworth) Martie Cave is said to have been raised by grandparents (likely that of his mother) after his father was killed in a forest fire in the Mark Twain National Forest sometime between 1890 and 1915. Martie had a half sister named Panzie of whom's whereabouts have not been found. Martie also had a full blooded sister who resided somewhere in Iowa in 1954, the year Martie died. The year I was born. I am seeking to know anything you find out in your research about your Merrit H. Cave, ancestors of Catherine (Kitty) Rush and their descendants. Thomas W. Rogers 924 E.

Hello I am searching for information on a family who is found in the 1860 Census in Speedwell Twp., St. Clair County, Missouri, but has been impossible to find much on. What I know is that a Martha Ann Cave married a Charles F. Ashworth (actual name: Charles Fenton Mercer Ashworth) on November 23, 1856 in St. Clair County Missouri. In 1860, Martha Ann is listed as 18 and Charles Ashworth listed as 22 years of age. Martha Ann Cave and Charles are listed as residing with Josephine Cave age 13, and Merrit Cave age 8 and Sarah C. Ashworth, 10 months. Merit, Josephine and Martha Ann Cave are brother and sisters. There is a marriage found between a Merit Cave and Mary Earles in 1861. But, Merit is residing with wife Jenny in Butler County, (my grandparents) in 1880. Thomas

During a recent trip, at an antique store, I ran across a map of Missouri in 1850. Since part of my family migrated to Missouri, and was living in St. Clair County at that time period, of course I was interested. But, I noticed that this particular map had the boundaries of the county outlined in yellow, and St. Clair County was on the outside of the boundary. Was this map wrong? Thanks for any info, Selena Redmond-Goodin [email protected] Researching: REDMAN/REDMOND

Marilyn, I had Andersons in St Clair County at that time. Will see what I can find out.

Subject: LOOK-UP PLEASE Would some kind soul look up my father obit? FRANCIS CHAMP My dad's name was Francis Champ. He was born 1918 in Cadet, Mo & he died 1949 in St. Louis, Mo. I believed he was lay out @ Kurtis Funeral home (the old one) & buried at St. Joachim Cemetery. His mom & 1 sister is buried there also. I thought I had it, but I was only able to find what is listed below. I have my mom's ( VIRGIE (POLITTE) CHAMP) birth certificate, but not my dad FRANCIS CHAMP. I have their Marriage Certificate ( 10 of May 1938 @ St Joachim Church.), and where she applied for my Dad's Social Security & received it. I would very much appreciate it. His obit or death certificate. This is the first time I have asked this request so I am not sure if I am suppose to ask for the obit or death certificate. I have neither. Thank you so much.
