Hi Nancy, Looks like you have several questions. Hope these answers will help. 1. There is only one Clinton, MO. It is located in Henry Co. about 65 miles se Kansas City. There is a Clinton Co. but they are not related. 2. Salem, MO is in Dent Co. about 100 miles se of St. Louis. 3. Harrisburg, Arkansas is in Poinsett Co. about 40 miles ne Memphis TN. 4. I don't know anything about Seely. Could it be Searchy, Ark. located in White Co. about 25 miles ne Little Rock? 5. I don't know anything about Bakersfield or Watanooga (sorry).

She was born in Clinton, Henry county, Missouri on November 18, 1884. She grew up around Clinton and Salem, Missouri until she was 9 years old when they moved to Harrisburg (berg), Arkansas. In Missouri her family lived in a smokehouse in her Grandma Adams yard. Grandma Adams was redheaded and Dutch. She also said something about a George Garvey's Store in or near Harrisburg (Harrisberg). She also mentioned a Bakersfield (a town) that used to be named something else but I couldn't understand the old town name. She also mentioned traveling through Seely and Watanooga (spelling?). I am assuming that these are in Arkansas. I can't seem to find a good internet site to answer these questions; and my Atlas don't have these towns on them (or I'm not looking in the right area). Now, for some questions. Where is Salem in regards to Clinton, MO? Are they in the same county? Is there more than one 'Clinton, MO'? Where is Harrisburg (berg), Arkansas? In What county? has anyone heard of Bakersfield in this area? Or a Mr. Garvey's store? Where is Seely and Watanooga? And most important, Can we have family a family connection? I would appreciate any answers.
