Thanks, Marlene, for your prompt reply & for the additional data. In looking back at the Index to 1900 Taney Co Census, I can see that Sammie Petty 23-MO-Unk-MO is living in same HH with Nathaniel & Almedia St. Clair along with their 4 children: James, Artelle, Reben & Jacob B. I note in the Taney Co Marriage Index that Sarah Pety(sic) married 25 Oct 1901Jacob TODD, both shown as being from Hercules. Looking at the Index to 1900 Taney Co census one can find Jacob TODD 21-MO-IND-TN b.Dec 1878 as s/o Thomas & Sarah E. TODD living in Beaver Twp HH #224. Index to 1910 Taney Co census, this family shows Jacob F. TODD 32-MO-IN-TN with wife Sarah J 29-AR-US-US md 9 years with 2 children both living: Thomas L. 7 and Herman 2. At first I thought this Sarah might possibly be Sammie but age doesn't work out too well in the 1910 census index????? As to Asbury "Buck" PETTIS, I see him b.Mar 1860-MO-TN-MO & wife Malsa b.Feg 1866-MO-KY-NC listed in the Index to 1900 Taney Co census in Jasper Twp HH #152 with M-I-L Sarah E. St Clair b.Nov 1822-NC-SC-TN plus the 4 daughters you listed. I can also see your Isaac PETTY's widow Frances b.Oct 1853 & her 2nd husband Joseph MOELEY(sic) b.May 1848 living in Beaver Twp HH #196 with their 4 children plus the 4 PETTY children from Frances's previous marriage to Isaac. Although I had not previously researched the PETTY family, I try to look at any of the families who lived in the vicinity of those whom I am reasearching, and am so grateful to you for providing that information. I too do not see your Jesse Boone PETTY after the 1800 Taney Co census, but with the additional info that Vonda is making available to us for the surrounding WRV area, perhaps that family will again surface. Thanks again so much as I am mot grateful for the data you gave which probably helps several others besides me on this List.

I have a daughter Sammie born to Samuel and Almeda Cummings Petty about 1876 (after Samuel was killed). She is listed on the 1900 Taney Co. Census living with her mother and step-father, Nathaniel St. Clair. I have information from another researcher that she married someone from Gainsville, moved there and had two daughters. I don't have her married name. Asbury "Buck" Petty, Samuel's brother, married Melissa St. Clair 12 Jul 1888 in Taney Co. I don't know if you are researching St. Clairs. I have four daughters for them, Minnie, Estella, Laura and Gladys. I'm descended from their brother, Isaac Petty, who married Tabitha Frances Estep. After Isaac's death she married Joseph Mosley in Taney Co. I have the same children listed for Jacob and Mary Ellen Petty Cummings that you do. I was told that Mary Ellen died in childbirth (I assume when Sarah was born). She died in Taneyville and is supposed to be buried in the Cummings Cemetery. I'm afraid that's all the information I have on these lines. It has been slow gathering facts about them. I just keep trying. I also need information on Jesse Boone Petty who married Catherine Roller if anyone has information on them or the Roller family. I can't find them after 1880 in Taney Co.
