Well, just hot dog & grand sakes! I sure didn't think I'd get this lucky so soon! On Easter Sunday, I took notes from the family Bible of Eunice RIDER. If I did my notes correctly - it shows: William (Bill) LEONARD as father of Rebecca LEONARD a note shows - brothers (remembered) Jack & Bill Rebecca LEONARD m James HOBBS Barry County, MO 1866 children: George, Phil, Jim (James) Nancy, Maude, Louise, Ellen, John John E. HOBBS m Eunice RIDER d/o Eden(?) RIDER & Margaret HENDRICKSON I've been to McCullough cemetery, it's where many of the HOBBS family members are buried (along with many more). This is my husband's line, but thought I'd work on it awhile instead of head bashing on my own stuff against those brick walls! Where might I find this book you mentioned? Library? On line? Help, help! Now, if I can get my gene program uncrashed, I'll be sittin' tall. It did a blue screen death this am just after I'd entered info on about 100 names, as I was getting ready to back it all up. But, I still believe in paper trails! ----- Original Message ----- From: REdwards <msre@home.com> To: <MOSTONE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, April 29, 2000 8:49 PM Subject: Re: [MOSTONE-L] Surnames - HOBBS, ROBERTS, RIDER, VANDERPOOL | Hi Joy, | | I too descend from the Leonard's.

Just a quick note as it's late to say Hi. I made a copy of the Bilyeu book at the library in Shell Knob. I'll look in it and see what I can find for you. I remember Eunice Hobbs, a very nice widow with a tragic loss of two daughters. I grew up 2 miles from her. My brother bought her farm after her death. Now as to Rebecca Leonard, In the Idaho family notes I referred to there is a Margaret Rebecca who died in 1933. On the 1860 census of the David Leonard family there is a Margaret age 12, certainly could have married in 1866. Do you know when your Rebecca Leonard died? I do not see her or James Hobbs listed in burials in McCullough. Rich None of the children of William Henry Leonard or George Redmond Leonard were old enough to marry in 1866. I have their pension requests. At 09:25 PM 04/29/2000 -0500, you wrote: >Well, just hot dog & grand sakes!
