Hi Dan - My family all trooped right to Callaway Co. and stayed there. I didn't know any Lavinders were there. I know that my Hodges family stayed in touch with quite a few Franklin Co. folks who moved to the same area. Are you aware of any Dickerson/Dickinson family that went to Callaway Co.? If you are following the Missouri River, Montgomery is the next county east of Callaway.
