I looked in the Chiles-Cooper funeral record again and it actually says, "(dau. Mrs. Frank Bolin)." My pea-brain added the "of" when it shouldn't have been there. But the date of death does say 10 May 1937 - could be a typo. Thank you for correcting my mistake. LeAnn Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.missouri.counties.stoddard/1647/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Hello, I have a strange puzzle to solve and was wondering if anyone had the answer. I have been researching the Benwell's in mid Missouri and mid Illinois for years. I recently acquired a death certificate from a John Benwell aka John Link (this is what his death certificate says). His father is listed as Sylvester Link and his mother as Mary Dodge. It says he was born April 9, 1902 in Bloomfield Missouri and he died in 1948 at the age of 46 from tuberculosis in a sanitorium in East St. Louis Illinois. I was cannot find this John in the census's under Benwell or Link. There is a John Link in Stoddard County I can find, but he lived into the 1980's. Anyone know who this man is and why he renamed himself Benwell? Please email me. carriembenwell@earthlink.net Thank you! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I would look to the marriage licenses from that county. I am related to Davis and Smith. W.H. Smith was my great grandmother's(Sarah Jane Henson) Second husband. My grandmother Wilda Wright Davis was orphaned and was raised by unknowns and told her parents had died. Little did my grandmother know that her mother and father Sarah Jane Wright and William Wright were living 15 miles away. They raised the three sons and gave away their two daughters. Nellie Brinkman was my grand aunt. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mostodda/scmo.htm this site by Don Write has lots of great information about Stoddard and dexter Barbara Taylor Henderson -----Original Message----- From: mostodda-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:mostodda-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of gc-gateway@rootsweb.com Sent: Friday, July 06, 2007 1:51 PM To: MOSTODDA-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [STODDARD, MO] Wilson, Doc & Sara?

Mae Smith Davis (I do not know her husband's name) is the daughter of Joel Franklin Smith who lived in Stoddard Co. in the 1900s with either his first wife (Rachel Wilson Smith) or his second wife (Nancy Jane Nelson Smith).

Hi out there - I haven't been able to really get into Stoddard Co records yet and I have a few questions if someone could enlighten me a bit. The Bloomfield Vindicator - is there any archives online, or is it all at the library in Dexter, or?? What years are available? I am most interested right now in somewhere around 1885 through about 1895. Are there birth records available for that time? Or death records? I know that the Missouri State site starts at 1910 or somewhere around there but are there records available from earlier? Actually, I think that's pretty much all my questions for now. Thank you all :) valerie

My family says she was m. to Tom Crutchfield, however when I ran the marriage record it stated that Lottie Baker m. Thomas B. Gann of Bernie. Consent was given by his mother, Mrs. H. Crutchfield. I found a census record for W.H. Crutchfield with wife Margaret and a child Thomas Gann in the household. I'm assuming there are second marriages here and Thomas was Margaret's child before her Crutchfield marriage, but was his legal name Gann or Crutchfield? Did Lottie and Thomas have any children? If so, were they Gann or Crutchfield? Thanks for any help. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I am trying to discover the names of his parents. He was rumored to have a brother named John (probably older). I am not sure if he was truly orphaned, perhaps illegitimate, or abandoned? My mother heard him to say that he wouldn't cross the street to speak to his biological family, and he never told anyone his parents names to my knowing.
