Hi List, I have recently received a copy of a picture of the Hollister fire department in 1943-44 of which my father is a member. Several of the men we have put names with and I am wondering if there is a Historical society in Hollister to whom I could send a copy of the picture for further identification? I would love to hear from any one who can help us identify these men. Thank you, Pat Davis

Bill, One suggestion I have is to try and find the children in the 1900 census. By 1900 John B. Weaver would be 25 and perhaps married. The girls are a little harder. Since this family was in TX when the youngest was born, it's possible they went back there. I'd try the 1900 census for TX and OK. That's all I can think of right now.

I've hit a brick wall with my Weaver line. The LDS gave me a copy of the Beaver, Taney, Missouri 1880 census and it shows: Jefferson Weaver 33 MO Margaret Elisabeth Weaver 27 MO Pernecia Weaver 9 MO Sarah J. Weaver 7 MO John B. Weaver 5 MO Malisea E. Weaver 3 TX I find them on the 1870 Taney County Swan Township Census pg. 24 without children: Jefferson C. Weaver 23 Margaret E. Weaver 18 I can't find Jefferson C. Weaver before or after this 1870 census. Margaret was Margaret Elizabeth Moseley before she married Jefferson. Any hints as to how I can find out more on Jefferson? I've searched and searched for Jefferson C. Weaver on the net and the only record I can find anywhere on the net is that he was a Union Soldier out of Taney County. That's all I can find and haven't a clue how to order his military pension record through the National Archives if I don't know his birth date and place of birth, and which regiment he was in. Suggestioned welcomed. :) Thanks Bill

In Shadow Rock Park in old Forsyth, county seat of Taney County, Missouri there were county fairs in those years of which you speak I'm pretty sure. Although, we left Christmas Eve in 1935 and did not return until 1946 the old weekly newspapers would tell for sure about the county fairs there. They can be read at the Forsyth Library on microfilm. I hope to check if those years are included in their collections the next trip down the last of this month. Who are you related to in that area? My cousin, Mable (Coffelt) Stallcup did have entries in the "fair" there for years. She was the daughter of my aunt Nellie (Pickett) Coffelt who was a sister of Andrew Pickett, my Dad. ----- Original Message ----- From: Lady Leeann <rood01@mtaonline.net> To: <MOTANEY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, October 12, 2002 2:15 PM Subject: [MOTANEY] 1930's - 40's county fair > I am looking for information on a county fair, I believe this is what it was.

could you ask your cousin if she remembers a man named William Walters, he was from Taney Co. as well. My grandmother always talks about how her grandfather, every year had blue ribbons from his entries in the fair. Would your cousin maybe have clippings of the weekly paper? I am so excited because I feel like I am getting closer, just with this e-mail. Please let me know.

Did any of this INGRAM line move to Washington/Benton counties in AR? My husband's grandfather's name was Pleasant D. INGRAM and I have almost nothing on that family. I would love to correspond with anyone who has the INGRAM name in their family, even if it is just "shirt-tail" relatives.

Is there a death index or obituary index for the year 1954? I'm looking for an obituary of a Rose Cochrane who died on her 96th birthday while living in Hollister, Taney Co MO. She was born about 1858, so I'm assuming the year she died was 1954. Woul;d appreciate any help. Maureen

Anyone see Jefferson C. Weaver on the 1850 or 1860 census. He would have been about 3 or 13 depending on which census. Sorry this is a repost. I left info out on the last one. I'm trying to find out who his parents were and see if I can trace him back to the Dave and Tooley Weaver line. Thanks Bill

Does anyone see Jefferson C. Weaver on the 1850 or 1860 census? He would have been abt. 3 or 13 depending on which census. Thanks Bill

Any tips oh how to research Jefferson C. and his possible relationship to the Dave and Tooley family greatly appreciated. Bill

Bill, I don't have anything on Jefferson C. Weaver, but Dave and Tully Weaver had Pesta, Besta, John, Joseph, Frances, Robert and William listed as sons. They were born between 1786 and 1814, so any of them would have been the right age to have been your Jefferson's father. I don't have anything on John H. Mosely either because I haven't really researched the Moseley line (since it isn't my blood line--only related through Joe's marriage to Frankie. I'll get the photo out of my files and send it in the next couple of days. I'll send it to you privately.

Ann, thanks so much for your offer. I do have a copy of those marriage certificates. There is a connection between the Esteps and Ingrams before this marriage. Perhaps you already have the information that Joseph Estep b. 1790 in Greene Co., TN, was first married to Jane Hammond in 1812, then to Mary Jane Ingram about 1830 (who I have as the mother of my Joseph Washington Estep) and lastly to Sarah Hall about 1836 after the death of Mary Jane. I have 21 children listed from these three marriages and records of many of them being made wards of the court. Much of my information came from Charles Stevens who interviewed several old members of the families years ago. Let me know if you have the same information. Also, do you have the parents of John Grady b. 1785 (Nancy and Louisa's father)? I've been trying to prove his parentage for a long time. Do you have his wife's name. I know there are some web sites that list Mary White, b. 1800 in Craven Co., NC, but there are too many discrepancies for me to accept that she was his wife--at least until I have more proof.

I'd love to have you send me via email the picture of Joseph and Frankie. That would be great. As far as the indian heritage goes on the Weaver side, do you know anything about my greatgrandmother Necie Weaver's Dad Jefferson C. Weaver and how he might relate to the indian heritage you mentioned in the Dave and Tooley Weaver line? I haven't heard of the Eddings family. Thanks for all the info. This is great. I've been discouraged lately cause I haven't been able to find anything, so this is encouraging. It amazes me how many folks on the net mention indian heritage in the Moseley line, but noone seems to come up with anything. I'm not sure what that's all about but maybe someday we will have an answer. Say do you know anything about John H. Moseley, Joseph's brother, who moved to the Indian Nations? Thanks again, Bill

marlene or bill i have some info about the esteps and grady familys my great great grandfather william martin ingram married nancy grady in 1848 in osage county mo and nancy sister louise married joseph esteps the same day it was a double wedding i have the marriage cert and more info if you want it ann ingram

I think perhaps whoever wrote in your Mom's Bible didn't know about Joe Moseley's first wife and thought Frankie was William's mother. In the 1900 Taney Co., Census William Isam is not living with them so I don't think she raised him. Children living with them from the first marriage are: Barbara E. 21, James J. 14, Lucy A. 13 and George N. 11--then there were Frankie's children: John Ruben Petty 23, Sarah J. Petty 20, Jacob H. Petty 15 (my grandfather) and James B. Petty 13. There appears to be some Indian heritage mixed in with all of these families, but I haven't been able to document anything--I think because they were never on the Rolls. I have a suspicion that Isaac Petty's grandmother may have been Indian. In the families of all of Isaac's siblings there is some family tradition of Indian blood. I don't know about the Esteps of Gradys (Frankie's families) because I haven't uncovered anything pointing in that direction. I do know that some of the Weavers were supposed to be Indian going back to Dave Weaver b. 1760 in Cherokee Indian Lands, N. Georgia and his wife, Tooley b. abt. 1764 in western NC. Does the EDDINGS family fit into your lines anywhere? I know that they were also connected to the Weavers. Going back to Joseph L. Moseley, do you have a picture of him? I have a really unique photo of him and Frankie sitting on the front porch of their house in Bradleyville. It was probably taken in the early 1900s. The fellow who framed the photo for me wanted a copy to hang on the wall in his studio because he liked it so much. I could scan a copy and send it to you via e-mail. A few years ago I visited a second cousin who was the daughter of Sarah Jane Petty (Frankie's daughter). She remembered visiting Joseph and Frankie as a young child. She said Joseph thought she needed some new stockings and he took her to the store in Bradleyville to buy her some. They only had white stockings on hand so he bought those for her instead of black ones she usually wore. She remembered that they didn't stay clean very long. Seems like he was a rather caring person. My aunt who is now 96 remembers getting letters from her grandmother Frankie when she was a child. It's very interesting how so many of the early Taney County families are connected in some way. Marlene >Hey Marlene, > >Joseph L. Moseley is my gggrandfather. Frankie is in my mom's Bible.

Yep, That's the same info I have on Easton's parents. By the way do you have any record of Joseph's middle name. My mom's Bible has it as Lynn. Thanks. Bill
