I have found in the Mo Marriage Index the following: Jasper J. Farrow and malinda J. Todd, Sept 11, 1853, by Jonas harmon, JP, of Johnson Twp, Washington co. MO. I found the census record for Joseph Farrer, age 30, born in MO, with the following listed: Malinda, age 28, John, age 6, George, age 4, Moses, age 2, and Rebecca, age 6/12's. They are Washington Co., Johnson Twp.. Jasper had died by 1870 as Malinda is remarried to James Hogan. Only Rebecca and Margaret are listed in the household. Where are the boys? I found in the 1850 census, Washington Co., Liberty Twp, page 143, John B. Farrar , age 42, born NC, listed with the following in the household: Mary, age 40, born in KY, Richard Jett, age 20 [all children born MO], Joseth A, age 19, Jasper J., age 16, Newton W., age 16, Wallis H., age 15, Elizabeth R., age 12, Sarah A. D., age 11, Thomas W., age 9, Johnson ! E.. B., age 7, and Walter S. C., age 1. Also in the household is Drusilla Farrar, age 27, born MO. The only one I can find in any 1860 census is Jasper J. if he the same as Joseph who married Malinda Todd. According to to an entry in the book "Crawford County, Missouri, 1829-1987" Malinda Todd married Jasper Farrar and gives same date as listed for Joseph Farrow index. It also gives children as being Moses, Richard, John, Rebecca, and Margaret Rachel. It gives no date, but says Jasper Farrar is burried near Shirley, MO. I also found John B. Farrar in the 1840 cenus of Washinton Co., Liberty Twp., with ages of children corresponding to the 1850 Census. Is this the John Farrar who married Mary Hopkins in 1828? Where did the families go after 1850? Of 10 children, I can only find Jasper after 1850. Any help will be appreciated.
