Ellen Thank you very much, I can sure use the help, Ellie -------Original Message------- From: Ellen Howell Date: 07/15/06 17:37:46 To: MOSTONE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [Norton AntiSpam] Re: [MOSTONE-L] Davis Don't know if this would help or not but Francis Marion Gideon father of Rufus Asbury Gideon is buried in Galena cem north (old) section. Rufus married Clarissa Bell Davis in 1880 daughter of Martha Priestley Davis. Martha was daughter of Samuel Priestley and Isabelle Hazelett. Martha Priestley Davis was born 1821 Rockbridge VA. She may not have a headstone and that's why you can't find her in online listings. Think I'd try searching in Christian co also as that is where Rufus comes from. Might try searching for Rufus and Clarissa's sons Frank M and Elmer. Clarissa died in 1928 but don't have death date for Rufus. My connection to the Gideon family is my gg.gma Elizabeth Wilhite Atterberry Hodges Hooton had a brother named Lorenzo Dow Wilhite and he married Mary Jane Gideon, sister to Francis Marion Gideon and Rufus's aunt. My ancestors are mostly from Stone and Christian co MO. I'll let you know if I find your Martha. Regards.
