Hi Jim, My husband and I would like to take a trip back to Missouri this year, but a lot depends on his health. He is a diabetic with complications. If we are not able to make it...I want to get a few books from the area. He was born in Aurora. He will be 65 in April. I found his people around Aurora and also Stone County...Crane and Oto. I don't know what it is to search in a courthouse basement. I would love to. I have dreamed of doing so, but where I live, there isn't any ancestry for us, so have no real reason to do so. But Stone, Lawrence, Barry...those are places I would love to be able to poke around in. I would like to go to a couple of cemetaries also. Namely Nelson and Mars Hill (Marshall). Larry had 2 gr-gr grandfathers in the Civil war. One was Samuel Branham. One was John Wesley Bowling, who never made it to Stone County with his brothers. They were all born in Tennessee. Ended up in Arkansas and on to Stone County. John died in Arkansas. His wife and 2 daughters moved on to Stone County about the time 5 of his brothers did. I will be talking to you about your book a little later on. It sounds interesting.

I liked the name and used it in my book as follows: Bobby Baker was a Northern captain in the Civil War. His father was Bowling Baker. He was one of the men hung by the Bush Whackers when they invaded Galena immediately after the Civil War, seeking loot and plunder. Bowling is only incidental to the tale, but Bobby Baker plays a major (if a bit fictional) role. The novel is about true events and real people. It's just that I'm not sure these real people performed in those real events, but somebody did, so I've chosen those who well might have. The novel is in professionally bound manuscript form and is only available in print in the Kimberling Library at present. I have it in digital format on my computer.

I found some Bakers in my data, but not on that side of the family. No Bowling Bakers. But I don't have everything. The more time goes by, the more I realize how much I DON'T have. But, thanks for the information. I will keep that in mind when searching.
