Sharon, Did you think of the possibility that Clara may have had a child, with her maiden name, before she left for IL? I would check Joseph Courtois in 1910 to see if a son was living in the household about the same age as Clara's age at the time. Then see if a Dorothy, age 13ish is listed in 1930 in another Courtois household -or- Frank's? John's? James? Thomas? Just some thoughts -Kay ------------------------ > then Pulled up the Kingston Dist. 1920 Washington Co., Census and it had: > > Courtois, Joseph, Head, Male, White, 53 > Courtois, Clara, Wife, Female, White, 53 > Courtois Sarah, Daughter, Female, White, 16 > Courtois, Teddy, Son, Male, White, 10 > Nephew, Dorothy, Grandchild, Female, White, 3 2/12 > > What confuses me on this is my Grandmother was Ella Nephew, born 1882.

A few years ago I ran across this Nephew Soundex, N100 for 1920: Dorothy Nephew, age 3 2/12 born in Mo. enumerated with Joseph Courtois. Relationship is Grandchild I then Pulled up the Kingston Dist. 1920 Washington Co., Census and it had: Courtois, Joseph, Head, Male, White, 53 Courtois, Clara, Wife, Female, White, 53 Courtois Sarah, Daughter, Female, White, 16 Courtois, Teddy, Son, Male, White, 10 Nephew, Dorothy, Grandchild, Female, White, 3 2/12 What confuses me on this is my Grandmother was Ella Nephew, born 1882. Her siblings were: Cloves, Agnes May (married Court Compton), Tresia Corabelle (married Fred Wilson of Jefferson Co., Mo.), Anna (married Fred Paul and lived in Herculaneum, Jefferson Co., Mo.), Frank (married Ava Studders/Studdard), John (married Estella Pickett, lived in DeSoto, Jefferson Co., Mo.), Clara (disappeared and the family last had heard that she moved to Illinois and got involved with the wrong crowd and was murdered), James (married Gladys Battreal), Thomas (married Mary Bertha Boyer), and Bertha (married Bert Grace, then Roy Torrence). So who's child could Dorothy be? Frank's? John's? James? Thomas? These were the only Nephew men in the area. Except for their father who was William Ernest Nephew who was living in and died 1923 in DeSoto. Can anyone set me straight on this one? Also, who was Joseph Courtois? I know there were several Courtois/Courtaway/Courtway's in the area. I've checked the 1930 Census, Richwoods Twp., but Dorothy is no living with Joseph. The names listed now are: Courtois, Joseph, Head, 74 Courtois, Clara, Wife, 62 Courtois, Fred, Son, 22 Courtois, Opal, Daughter-in-law, 19 Thank you, Sharon (Hartzell) Smith Arnold, Jefferson County, Mo.

Hi Listers My New Year's resolution was to be more proactive with posting information. I've been working on my husband's line - Jolly's and Whitten's from Worcester Co.,, Massachusetts and Hillsborough Co., New Hampshire - and it's been tough because no one has posted any useful information on the internet in these areas. Thank God for Ancestry or it would be almost impossible. I live in St. Louis so I have access to a great library with microfilm on St. Joachim's, St. James', and St. Stephen's records. I can't offer to do lookups at this time but I'll keep posting records as I research my lines - Barron, Degonia, Lore, Boyer, Portell - all the usual suspects ;-) Glad to be of help - Christine --------------------------------- Yahoo!
