Do you know if Joseph McCord was a Civil War veteran?

No Joseph McCord listed as being in the 1st Ark. Union Cav. There is a Th0omas J McCord listed however. Mike

Irene, I found your family listed in the Stone Co History Vol 1 pg. 575-578. According to the family history submitted by (no name), The father of John Parker was also called John Parker..and wife was Arena Seals. The story states that Arena's husband was called out in the middle of the night by a group of men, and was never heard of again. It does not list her parents. There is some Wright family listed, and the of course, a short history of John Jr.. and Catherine. I know this isn't much, but perhaps it will help+ACE- Robin. -----Original Message----- From: Jack +ACY- Irene Barnes +ADw-jibarnes+AEA-airmail.net+AD4- To: MOSTONE-L+AEA-rootsweb.com +ADw-MOSTONE-L+AEA-rootsweb.com+AD4- Date: Saturday, June 03, 2000 6:28 AM Subject: +AFs-MOSTONE-L+AF0- John PARKER b 31 Oct 1866 m Margaret WRIGHT Stone Co MO 1890 +AD4-John PARKER married Margaret Catherine WRIGHT, dau of Thomas WRIGHT and +AD4-Frances Angeline BYRD, Nov 9 1890 in Stone Co MO. +AD4- +AD4-A letter dated Mar 27, 1891 to my grandmother in Johnson Co TX from John +AD4-PARKER was from Longs Mill, Stone County MO. +AD4- +AD4-John PARKER was listed in Grant Township (1900 census).

John PARKER married Margaret Catherine WRIGHT, dau of Thomas WRIGHT and Frances Angeline BYRD, Nov 9 1890 in Stone Co MO. A letter dated Mar 27, 1891 to my grandmother in Johnson Co TX from John PARKER was from Longs Mill, Stone County MO. John PARKER was listed in Grant Township (1900 census). Elviren was listed as mother along with wife Margarett, and children Flora, Cora, and Lenard H. 1880 census lists Erosina PARKER (widow) Thomas J.

Everina/Erosina/Elviren must have died by then (she was 61 in the 1900 census). I am looking for any information on this family. I believe John's mother was a sister to James Madison SEALS, my ggf.

When I tried my first ones, I sent the request to Galena, as I was after 2 ancestors that died in Stone. They returned my request with the yellow (I think) forms. They said to mail them to Jefferson City, so I did. I'll state my relationship and check number and see what they do. They put some kind of code up by his name. So I think they found it and are waiting for me to say who I am. (I don't quite understand why that matters. How many people collect death certificates from the early 1900's?) Oh well. Thanks, Cheri M.

I think in the fine print somewhere, those letters say they will keep your money for each cert. whether found or not. It's their search fee.<:(( If it were me writing, I'd send back a copy of my original letter, their letter & the original check # you paid it with, clarify your relationship to the deceased & see if they send it on to you. You didn't state a date for the last one you requested, but I assume it's within the bounds of accessible material if you're the 3x granddaughter! If I remember correctly, you also must know the county of death. Is it any easier to write the county, unless for a specific reason you need a certified copy such as the state provides? Good luck.

Dear List, Last month I sent for 2 death records. One was from 1917, and one was from March 1910. I sent $20. They sent me the one from 1917, and couldn't find the one from 1910 (I figure since it was the beginning for keeping the records, it may not have been filed). They kept the $20. I decided to send for one more. I sent my $10, with the name & the death date. They kept the $10 and sent me a letter saying that the records are confidential and can be released to immediate family only. "In order to comply with your request, we must be furnished with authority bearing the legal signature of an individual entitled under law to receive the information." Then they go on to say to send a check or money order. I signed the first letter I wrote to them. I did not state my relationship. Should I just send them back their original letter, signing my name again and stating I am the 3 great-granddaughter? Heck, I could say great-granddaughter, I doubt they would know the difference. I don't remember stating my relationship the first time, but maybe I did. I had a yellow? form that time to fill out. I don't have one this time, so I just wrote a letter. I asked them for the form, but they didn't send it. Ideas? Cheri Mello

Hey Joy. You are quick! That was going to be my next question.

This note from Gerald Hirsch of the Mo State Archives: "I am pleased to announce that the transcribed Birth and Death records are now available on the Missouri State Archives' web site located at http://mosl.sos.state.mo.us/rec-man/arch.html. " Stone County does not have any Birth & Death records for years before 1910, however there are records online now from surrounding counties, so it might be worth your time to have a look at those. Happy Hunting, Jo
