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

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.

Bill, I think you may have seen the roster at: http://thelibrary.springfield.missouri.org/lochist/periodicals/wrv/v1/n6/w62k.htm a search on the Captains name turned up this: Isaac N. Chenoweth - Isaac enrolled March 10, 1865, Forsyth, Taney Co., Missouri as a Private in CPT W.L. Fenix's Taney Co., MO, Volunteer Missouri Militia. Ordered to active duty on March 10, 1865 and relieved on April 9, 1865. Number of days actual service - 182(?) By the way... a search for "Weaver" at: http://thelibrary.springfield.missouri.org/lochist/periodicals/wrv/qwrv.htm gave 46 hits, although I didn't look through them all.
