>Could you be getting the Overstreets confused? Look at this.< Pama, There was a William Henry Harrison Overstreet in Stone early on; he is connected somehow, I'm willing to bet, but I can't connect them now. So there were 2 Overstreet families in Stone during the 1800s. Mine didn't move there until after the 1880 Lawrence Co. MO Census; George is listed in the 1890 Special Vets census in Stone. Also, there was a George Washington Overstreet on the eastern side of MO, from another line of Os. One of those researchers tried claiming my GWO, who is buried in McCullough Cemetery in Stone, as his, with all kinds of wrong info. I don't know if he believed me or not. But the one in McCullough is Grandma's grandfather--she attended the funeral when she was 7. So, yeah, it is real confusing, but I'm slowly working them out. My GWO was b abt 1844 in Vernon Co. MO, and except for a short time in the stockade after the Civil War (in OH), spent all his life in SW MO and Carroll Co. AR. The other George stayed over east, near as I can tell. William Isaiah was GWO's son from his first marriage--he appears in the 1880 Lawrence Co. MO census. Vonda
