Tell me about your family. What are the surnames etc. My family was in Lawrence county Mo in 1858. My gr gr grandfather John McGehee's probate records record that he was a "non resident" of that county. I know that in 1850 he had been a resident of Carroll County Ark, but most of his family was in Lawrence co Mo. He had bought and sold land all throughout the dade and Lawrence Co area in the 1850s. Then he must have died prior to 1858. In April his belongings were sold off and two of his daughters were listed as purchasing beds. Sidney McGehee, and Martha McGehee. this was April of 1858. In Feb of 1859 less than one year later, Sidney MCGehee married Richard M Hartzog in Grayson County, and several other of her siblings married Whitesboro residents over the next 6-7 years.
