My direct ancestor emigrants who entered the Taney area are: St. Clair The emigrants were James William St. Clair/Sarah Slater coming from Kentucky, Tennessee, or West Virginia in the 1840s (I haven't found which and they reported all of these in the census) Cook The emigrants were William McKinley Cook/Margaret Lucinda Jackson coming from Grainger (now Union county Tennessee in the 1840s. Evans The emigrants were William E. Evans/Martha Jane Witten and their family coming directly from Miller county, Missouri and he before that from Morgan county, Illinois. His predecessors came from Grainger county, Tennessee and Taliaferro county, Georgia before that. Hers came from Wayne county, Kentucky and Tazewell county, Virginia before that. Since arriving these folks have intermarried with most of the other families and spread to most counties in southwestern Missouri, including these surnames among others: Adams, Beard, Berry, Bilyeu, Blansit, Bookout, Boyd, Brown, Browner or Brauner, Brumley, Bryant, Clevenger, Coats, Compton, Craig, Cummings, Farrar, Florence, Gideon, Handy, Hannah, Keithley, Lair, Meadows, Melton, Palmer, Petty, Smith, Tittsworth, Vinyard, Wade, Weatherman, White, Wood Consequently I'm interested in all the early residents of the county and I've found the current and former residents I've met (in person or electronically) to be very fine and interesting folks.

John M. Brown (1882-????) married my grand aunt Elizabeth Eudora Evans (1883-1963)in Phillips county, Kansas in 1906 after both families relocated from the Taney area to Kansas. John came from a large family (11 kids that I know of) I haven't followed his sibling's families much but his parents are Samuel James Brown (1857-1943) and Lucinda Handy (1858-1945). His grandparents were William Marion Brown (1830-1866) and Floy Lucinda Swadley (1833-1880), both of whom died in adjacent Douglas county. Does it appear that these could be your Browns? > -----Original Message----- > From: Lady Leeann [mailto:rood01@mtaonline.net] > Sent: Saturday, May 03, 2003 8:33 PM > To: MOTANEY-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: Re: [MOTANEY] ROLL CALL - St. Clair/Cook/Evans, and others > > > I was wondering if you would be willing to tell me some of your > BROWN names? > > Dana > Researching Surnames~Walters, Pena, Brown, Alexander, Arredondo, Snowder/ > Snawder, Richards, Woroch, Rood & VanPrice
