Looking for help in finding the family members of John R. Thomas and Elizabeth Birdwell. They came to Phelps Co MO by 1870 from TN. All of their children married in MO. The children were: William, George W., Thomas J., Minerva, Segel(also known as John), Mary A. and Charles. William marries a Bohannon, Thomas a Warner and George W. a Higdon. I have not found the spouses for the other children. Charles dies young. John R. dies abt 1897 in Springfield but was brought back to Phelps Co to be buried. Elizabeth dies in 1916. I need more information on their children and on their parents. Kathy Garcia Killeen, TX
