I don't have much info on Vada Lawrence, I'm not sure this is the Vada Lawrence you are looking for, but this is what I have. William M. Clinkenbeard born 7 Jan. 1879, died 14 Aug. 1933, married Vada Lawrence. He was the son of Hiram Clinkenbeard born 8 Oct. 1849 in Ark., died 10 June 1911, and Mariah Johnson Dye Clinkenbeard born 25 July 1838, died 30 April 1913. Hiram Clinkenbeard married (1) America Razor. They had one child and both she and the child died. Mariah Johnson married (1) John Dye and they had 3 children. Nancy Paralee Dye is my great grandmother. Hiram and Mariah married in Stone Co. Mo. 5 July, 1871. They had 3 children, Josephine, John, and William. According to family lore, William called himself "Billy Whiskers". On the Stone Co. Mo. 1900 census for Williams Twp. I find a James Lawrence and listed in household is a daughter age 2 named Vada. Also in Williams Twp. is listed in household of Mariah Clinkenbeard, a son William M. age 21. (Mariah's ! name is hard to read) The transcription just has (M?) for the 1st name. The 1920 Stone Co. Mo. census for Williams Twp. has listed a Bill Clinkenbeard as head and Mariar age 73, as mother, and Thos. R. Dye as bro. Oh, Mariah was born in Ky. Hiram Clinkenbeard was the son of Henry Clinkenbeard and Elizabeth Louisa Bilyeu. Henry and Louisa Bilyeu Clinkenbeard had several children. One of their sons, Martin Clinkenbeard is my great great grandfather. William (Bill) and Vada Clinkenbeard should be on the 1930 census somewhere. Both Hiram and Mariah are buried in McCullough Cemetery in Stone Co. Mo. Information from their tombstones is listed in the transcription of McCullough Cemetery on Mostone. My great grandmother, Nancy P. Dye Yochum, daughter of Mariah and John Dye is also buried there. According to my great grandmother Sarah Clinkenbeard Moore's Bible record, both Henry and Louisa Bilyeu Clinkenbeard are buried in the Leonard Cemetery in Stone Co., Mo. I don't f! ind it listed on Mostone, so it may be one of those old cemeteries that no longer has a name.

I have been researching the Moore family for about 20 years. Does the "Moore Bible" have any reference to where Levi and Mary Ann were from or who their parents were? Levi is my Moore brick wall. Thanks for any help you can give. Jan Elliott, great granddaughter of Williams Moore

Thank you for the info. That is the correct Veda Lawrence. William Clinkenbeard was known as a "good fiddle" player. ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, January 13, 2005 12:11 AM Subject: [MOSTONE-L] Moore Family I don't have much info on Vada Lawrence, I'm not sure this is the Vada Lawrence you are looking for, but this is what I have.
