Donna, I got a moment to check the 1870 census. This is what it says: (thanks to the fabulous person who transcribed it!!) Interesting names those kids have, huh? Sorry if you already have all this info. Don't mean to muddle up your email but you never know - maybe someone else can use it if you can't!

DONNA: On the Stone County list of marriages/grooms and brides, it is listed Margaret Lockhart, not Margarette Lockhard. Also there is a Duckworth, T.V. married to a Effie G. Hilton on 8/20/1888

Donna, I checked the 1860 census for Stone County. There is a Thomas Duckworth living in Pearce Township as a boarder in house #250. He is 51 years and was born in NC. I did not see another Duckworth nor the Lockhard name. I am babysitting my 13 month old ggrandson and it is difficult to get computer time. I didn't have time to check 1870. Sorry. Check the wonderful STONE COUNTY for more info. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mostone/stone.htm Diane Biggar-Taylor > Is there still a Pierce twp, Stone Co.,Mo?

Mary Ann, No apology necessary. By this being sent, I will just add you to my "prayer list" A fellow researcher, Linda Garrett

Is there still a Pierce twp, Stone Co.,Mo? Where is or was it? Would anyone have information on George W. Duckworth and Margarette Lockhard married 9-1-1864 StoneCo.,Mo. of that twp? I want to take is time also to thank Robin and Pama for helping me on this search. Donna L. Conley conley@blueriver.net

Hello List, These were a couple of pages that I came across. Thought they might help someone. Long and tedious. They are cemeteries that are listed on-line at Cemetery Junction.

Mary Ann, You are in our thoughts and prayers. Susan

Mary Ann, God Bless and Keep You. You shall be in our prayers. Please have someone keep us informed. Warmest Smiles and Hugs, Pama

A-HA!!!!! I found it!!! (http://www.statelib.lib.in.us/www/indiana/genealogy/mirr.html That is an index to IN marriages before 1850). Hezekiah JONES m. Cynthia BINKLEY on 14 Dec 1834 in Lawrence Co, IN (it's not clear if that is the marriage date or the license). Another researcher, Steve, has other research notes that show Pinkley/Binkley's too.

I came across this and I though of you. "In spite of our careful maneuvering,we inevitably come face-to-face with pain. We confront stressful circumstances we can't control or even understand. Yet in the mist of our unanswered questions, we feel God's presence. He walks through the pain with us, offering His hand. We may not understand why we must suffer, but accepting God's comfort and love during the pain provides us with the strength to endure. I just went through this with my sister a month ago. All is well with her. And I trust it will be with you! (Isaiah 41:10) Donna

Geez! I searched the Stone Co. History Books, Reminiscent History of the Ozarks, the web...Stone Co Webpage (gives me the idea that maybe Benjamin Franklin PINKLEY was a sibling to Cynthia)....Ancestry.com.. ..Family Search.org...All The Web....Google....and I don't have to look any further than my file cabinets right her behind me (in my own backyard). In "Lest We Forget" (HEMBREE & WEEKS) by Thelma E. Kurtz, I find the following on page 4: RACHEL ELLEN HEMBREE was born 20 Jun 1837, Dubois County, Indiana, daughter of JOHN and MAGGIE HEMBREE. As a young child, her parents moved to Stone County, Missouri, where she grew up. On 15th March 1854, then nearly 17 years old, she married to BENJAMIN FRANKLIN PINKLEY, a widower with four children from previous marriages. Benjamin Franklin Pinkley was born 2 November 1819. According to another family researcher, the late CORA PINKLEY CALL of Eureka Springs, Arkansas, Benjamin was a descendant from CHARLES COTESWORTH PINCKNEY (1746-1825), and American Statesman from South Carolina, who was responsible for writing 32 of the 84 provisions contained in the Constitution of the United States of America. (See American Heritage Magazine, February, 1958)." (Guess I'm going to have to do that). It goes on about Benjamin's first wife, Margarette KILLION, and their 6 kids. It mentions that Margarette d. in Martin Co, IN. Regarding Benjamin it says, "Benjamin was a God-fearing, dedicated servant who ministered long hours to his fellow-man in many capacities- as a Justice of the Peace, Minister of the Gospel, teacher, doctor, and even as a shoemaker. He was a highly respected and well-liked individual." It goes on about wife #2, Mrs. Emily Lee (CURBO) FORD and their 2 kids. Then it continues with wife #3, Rachel Ellen HEMBREE and their 4 kids. He mentions how he went to the Civil War, enlisting 18 July 1861 at Galena, MO as a Corporal in Co. I, 24th Regiment, Infantry, MO Volunteers (Brian--what does this mean? Did he fill out paperwork listing who is parents were?) Then it goes on to say that Benjamin caught smallpox and d. at Rolla, MO on the 24 Apri 1862. That meant that he left his wife # 3, Rachel, a widow. There was a scandel (adultry it says....but if she is a widow, then she's not really comitting adultry, although she took up with a man without marriage) and it is recorded in this book. It mentions Frankey DRAHN and Nancy A. HEMBREE (daughter of Hezekiah JONES & Cynthia PINKLEY) testified "as to what they know about the deaths of soldier's (Benj. PINKLEY) first and second wives, and the dates of birth of the claimants." Now, is Nancy (JONES) HEMBREE doing this because she is a sister-in-law to Rachel, or because MAYBE she is the niece of Benjamin Pinkley? Nancy would have been almost 9 years old at the time of wife #1's death and 14 at the time of wife #2's death. Was Nancy there in IN at the time of wife #1's death? Or was she repeating heresay? It mentions that Benjamin's pension papers had Walter Pinkley, B.G. Pinkley, and J.A. Pinkley. Benjamin named one of his daughters by his first wife "Syntha." I wonder if he did have a sister Cynthia and this daughter was named after him. Does this give anyone any ideas? Cheri

Sorry, list, I accidentally sent to you instead of just to Cheri. My apologies, I shouldn't probably be on tonight but it keeps my mind occupied. Sorry, again. Mary Ann from Tucson
