Stone County has gobs of wonderful ancestors who need claimed . I think I shall hold an auction and bid off all unclaimed Ancestors to the highest bidder!!! First up...William Hurst family. He resided in Stone Co and he and his family appear on the 1860 Census. He has a wonderful sounding name...very intriguing and full of mystic!! He can be had for any info about his wife or children!!! <giggle> Robin http://members.xoom.com/Robid/Page_1.htm http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~biddle/settlers.htm OUR HOMEPAGE! http://members.xoom.com/jopet/homepg/welcome.htm CHRISTIAN COUNTY ANCESTORS! http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jopet/ancestor.htm STONE COUNTY MO! http://www.rootsweb.com/~mostone/stone.htm
