Jack & Addie Morrissey: As Marsha Sears has told you, there is a Green Castle in Sullivan County. I found it on Mapquest.com last night, but if you have a Rand McNally highway map for Missouri, you will find it on Missouri Highway 6 about midway between Kirksville and Milan. Now to some information about the family of Justice Perrigo's wife. On pages 1024-1026 of the 1888 Goodspeed Publishing Co. book, "History of Adair, Sullivan, Putnam and and Schuyler Counties, Missouri" (LDS film 1000280) are biographies of brothers Lt. Samuel Snyder and Hiram Snyder of Adair County. Hiram and his first wife, Minerva Shaw, daughter of T. Shaw, had seven children, one of whom is Eliza, who is "the wife of Justice Perigo, of Clark County." Hiram and his second wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Wright,daughter of George Burchett, had eleven children. The information Elizabeth Richardson provided on Perrigo families in the 1870 Clark County census would appear to be a good lead for you. May I also suggest that if you haven't already gone to one, you find a local LDS Family History Center and see if they have the 1880 census abstract compact disks that the Mormons released several months ago. The search capabilities are tremendous. Although I haven't used it myself, a fellow genealogist saw a brick wall I had posted on my Website and used that information with her copy of the CDS to find some possibile locations for one set of my great grandparents in that year. That information, in turn, led to the discovery that the great grandmother had been married twice and to her marriage date to my great-grandfather (I had been looking under her maiden name, not knowing of the first marriage). If you want more on the Snyders, I think I can produce a PDF copy of the Goodspeed pages and send them directly to you as an e-mail attachment if you want them. -- Karl Seitz kseitz@earthlink.net researching DeWitt, McCullough, Mairs and Seitz in Sullivan County researching Seitz in Adair County >Status: U >Resent-Date: Fri, 18 Jan 2002 19:09:56 -0700 >X-Original-Sender: cuznsrus@mindspring.com Fri Jan 18 19:09:56 2002 >X-EM-Version: 5, 0, 0, 0 >X-EM-Registration: #3003520714B31D032830 >X-Priority: >Reply-To: cuznsrus@mindspring.com >From: "Morrissey Addie" <cuznsrus@mindspring.com> >Old-To: MOADAIR-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: Perrigo Surname >Date: Fri, 18 Jan 2002 21:28:42 -0500 >To: MOADAIR-L@rootsweb.com >Resent-From: MOADAIR-L@rootsweb.com >X-Mailing-List: <MOADAIR-L@rootsweb.com> archive/latest/109 >X-Loop: MOADAIR-L@rootsweb.com >Resent-Sender: MOADAIR-L-request@rootsweb.com > >Good evening, > I am new to the list and would like to know if someone could >possibly assist me?
