Pama, Sorry, just to jump into this conversation, but your answer regarding Morgan Co. Ind. 1850 makes me want to ask a question - I'm looking for the GROSS family and they also were in Morgan Co. Ind. in 1850 and in 1870 Taney Co. - was this a common place of departure and arrival? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, September 17, 2000 2:50 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Speaks in James twp Terry, Was his name Speake or Speaks? >James Speake family that was living in the James twp in 1850 census.

Hey, gang, Jo just let me know the link I sent in the "News Post" doesn't work; okay, so I can't type... You can access it by going to the Taney page off the WRV home site, or use http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~moarwrv/taneycomaps.html I copied and pasted that by following the route described above, and got there... <G> Vonda

His name on the 1850 census was Speaks, but on other things I have seen it Speake. I think the James C Speaks was one of his sons. The James Speaks in Taney Co. in 1850 was 40 yrs at the time. I know all the records were burned up but I was hoping that maybe someone would know of some Speaks or Speake buried in the area of James township he was born about 1810 in NC.

Okeydoke, After some frustration--not a lot--and a few wrinkles ironed out, the maps I've been working on for Taney County are now online http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~moarwrv/taneycomaps/ WARNING: The 2 1913 maps are huge, requiring a few minutes to download on your computer for the first time. I would suggest (after you go to the kitchen for a drink) once your browswer has finished loading the files, which are jpeg, then do the following: 1) Right Click on the image with your mouse. 2) click on "Save As" 3) when your window pops up, put it wherever you keep your gen pictures or research notes--in that directory. 4) Then "save" This will save you from having to go online to view the map; I couldn't get the 1913 maps to print while creating the pages, but they might now that they are online. They are BIG! Too big for a single piece of paper--you will have to tape them. But I wanted you to see the details. They will be valuable, especially when you start looking for towns and cems. Which is coming, I promise! (Have I lied to you yet? LOL) BTW, Pama isn't able to take over this week, so you'll have to put up with me... But I won't be hanging online much. Gotta yard sale to prep for. Vonda Listmom for MOTANEY and MO-AR-WRV

I was looking through the Taney County Marriage Licenses this afternoon and I noticed several of the couples lived in Tidwell. Can someone tell me where the town of Tidwell was?

Thanks, Ideana. Nope didn't have that information. HA, you are getting closer and closer to the Nashes, aren't you!!!!!! LOL Warmest Smiles, Pama

I am pleased to announce that I have just uploaded the final township of the 1920 Census! We are grateful to Diane Biggar-Taylor for transcribing Lincoln Township. This means that the 1920 Stone County Federal Census is complete!! I have done an alphabetical master index to replace the individual indexes for each township. Words can not express our gratitude to Cheri Mello who coordinated the 1920 Census project, and to the volunteers who transcribed the townships. Thank you all so much. Now we can proudly say that Stone County has every available census online!

Hey, Ideana, >>3 Florence Beardon 1909 -<< Florence Beardon married Chester Hensley, s/o Benjamin Hensley and Maggie Long. She died 27 May 1970, here in Branson. They lived up by the Berry Cemetery, on land that is just south of the current Branson High School. I posted about this back in June, when our cemetery hopper group was featured in the Springfield paper. There were tombstones taken from the cem and used in the rock porch and outbuildings. You can see them quite clearly. There is a small building out of the rock, once used by George Beardon as a house. I don't imagine he had more than a cot and maybe a cabinet in it--if memory serves me right, Grandma said that it was also a chicken coop. If you want to get really twisted up....(gosh, a person shouldn't have so much fun being cruel...LOL) Are you "listening", Pama? Maggie Long was the daughter of Franklin Long and Susan Charity Wilson. Susan was the daughter of David William Wilson and Catherine Ann Brant. David and Catherine were my ggg grandparents. David and Catherine's son, John William, was my gg grandfather. His first wife was Millie Wilson, who was the daughter of Johnathon Wilson and Mary Ann Chrisman. Johnathon and David Wilson were brothers, so John William married his first cousin (this was not an Indian marriage; these folks were probably Irish). John William Wilson and Susan Charity Wilson Long had a sister, Ruth, who married Thomas Jefferson "Jeff" Nash, who were Pama's great-grandparents. Catherine Ann Brant Wilson is buried in Renshaw Cemetery. Please forgive me for forgetting...but someone else onlist is looking for Beardon info. Florence's father was Louis F. Beardon, as Ideana stated. Louis' father was Frances Marion Beardon. The last child you have under Louis and Laura Cupp Beardon, was Lorea Beardon. Her husband was Albert Compton. I don't have any information on them other than that. So you are cousins, at least by marriage--I'd be afraid to figure the exact degree out--to both me and Pama, possibly Don H., my husband Greg (who is a Blansit/St. Clair descendant), the whole Bilyeu shebang, and most of the folks who lived in Bear Creek Valley. Hee hee. Gawrsh, dat wuz fun... Congrats on your new info...way to go! Vonda

In case anyone is interested, I met a new cousin and she has given me some information on David and Elizabeth Cupp's descedents. David Cupp is son to Isaac and Sarah Cupp and brother to Simpson D. Cupp. Just thought I would share. Also for any of you that are from this line, did you know that Elizabeth (wife of David) married again after David's death and she married a Henry Nash? It is told to me that the marriage records read Jane Cupp to Henry Nash and her name was Elizabeth Jane Scott/Cupp. If you guys already knew this then soemone forgot to tell me as I did not know it.

Hello... I have a few questions on putting the cem transcriptions online, and I would like for any "figgerin'" you do to be posted to the list. Sometime this weekend, I should be uploading maps to the WRV/Taney site. I have done one that has the territory Taney County covered pre-1850 to 1864. I've done a modern-day political township map. I also finally found my copy of a 1913 Taney map, and 2 versions of it--one's done--will be going up. These latter two maps are in color (which the original wasn't). This is where my questions are... One of them is for the "T 24 N, R 17 W" stuff. It shows the towns which were in existence in 1913, and also individual township numbers, of which there are 24. (I got the latter from a current county index map). I don't think one has anything to do with the other--the T & R numbers are for surveys and land deeds, the other for use at the county level (I THINK...always get into trouble doin' that). BUT... As you will see, the individual townships are not anywhere equal in size, and I'm not sure that I've done the readings right for the "big" township numbers. If they are wrong, let me know so I can fix it. I don't know if where the boundaries fall matters when it comes to reading deeds correctly. Then... I've not sent out the notebook transcription copies because I'm still pondering the right way to do it. I want to have a system in place when the volunteers start sending their work back to me, otherwise I'll get inundated. Being the persistently-questioning individual that I am, it does me no good knowing the T & R numbers when looking through a transcription. I want to SEE where it is. "Ergo", the T & R map with individual twp numbers. So... I don't have the ability/know-how to let you point at a spot on the map, click and then go to that cemetery's transcription. The ability to do that is supposed to be happening within the next year (someone else is supposed to be doing that), with a "state of the art" website linked to what I will have already online, so we don't do any doubling up. What I want to do is have the map to look at available, then have cems, towns, etc., listed on separate pages for each of the 24 townships. Then you will be able to click on the cem name, and go to the list of individuals buried there. If you have a general idea of where your people lived, there shouldn't be a lot of backtracking. This I can do, and this makes sense to me. Does it to anyone else? There are no section numbers, but I'll find a link to that sort of thing (there's a page at Rootsweb) so that you can familiarize yourself with the US method of townships, ranges, and sections; then you can guessitmate exactly where the cem is. Again, the new website planned for next year is supposed to be able to do that. Plus, all Taney Co. cems are supposed to be on the GPS mapping system, so you can go there to find it. If I sound confused, I'm really not. I'm just not wording it right. I don't want to just list the cems, then leave you wondering where the heck it is, in relation to where your people lived. What do you think? Vonda

It's Football Friday! The servers are fixed, and Greg re-upped the business site. I didn't do any mail yesterday, and after I fixed a snafu this morning that not even Greg found, my mail seems to be going about its business. I have been feeling more gray/silver hairs popping out this week--I can tell. I am in the midst of doing up some maps for Taney County at the WRV site. It occurred to me that the volunteers for cem transcribing in Taney County would be greatly helped by having a map to look at, so after a few days of frantic digging, I came up with one (why that notebook ended up where it did is a total mystery) that I've been working on. More about it on the Taney list later. Now... Pama Wilder came by yesterday (after I called and bribed her), and while I had to back her into a corner and then beg, hair standing on end and all, she agreed...I am going to take a week off from the puter next week (starting when I get the maps uploaded and I'll notify you). I don't know that I am suffering from burnout, but I'm not taking a chance, and so Pama will be ListMom for a few days. That means that she will be doin' the "howdies" and trying to help folks when she can; I don't expect any trouble, and she may even get y'all jumpstarted on the fall research season. I might even get some new research done--I tend to forget that's what it's all about, research...there's so much to share in the way of our history, I get in a hurry to try to do all-around research and writing, and guess what? After a while, you get to wondering how you got down the path you're on. Speaking of all around history--if some of you have some stories about when your families moved to the WRV, or the "whys and wherefores" of why they left, let's hear about them. Y'all just jump right in on Monday and make Pama feel like she's doing me a big favor...LOL Vonda ListMom for MOTANEY and MO-AR-WRV at Rootsweb http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~moarwrv/
