Peter and Nancy A. Simons and children: Peter L. (14), Philip A. (12), George E. (8), William Grant (5) are last known to be on the 1870 Census in Franklin Twp, Newton Co, MO. At least one additional child, James E. was born in 1873. Peter’s daughter from a first marriage, Elizabeth , and son-in-law Jacob E. Moore and three children are on the 1870 Census (her brother Christian is with them) in Richwood Twp and on the 1880 Census in Rocky Comfort Twp, McDonald Co, MO. There is a marriage listing in Missouri Marriages, 1766-1983, for a Mrs. Nancy A. Simon to Jesse Jones, 30 Apr 1876, in McDonald Co, MO. In 1880, I cannot locate Jesse, Nancy , nor any of the children, which would seem to corroborate family lore that the younger children were orphaned. I would like to know when Peter and Nancy died, where they are buried, and what happened to all the children. I know in 1910 William Grant is in Clay Co, TX and James E. is in Stephens Co, OK.
Thank you,

This question is about marriage records for McDonald County, Mo. circa 1895-1905. Specifically, if anyone has access to these records I am researching the William F. and Harriet Elizabeth Patton Moore family that resided in your county at that time. They had four daughters that would have reached marriage age during the period mentioned above. They are Mary L., Rosa F., Nomia E., and Myrtle S., Moore. I would appreciate the dates of any marriages for them as well as the name of the associated groom.
Thank you,

I'm reasearching any information on this family.My Great Grandmother Senora Alice Caldwell b.4-24-1869 in Southwest City,Mo.,McDonald county.She married John Doyle Putnam 9-15-1889 Southwest City,Mo.,McDonald county.When she married John she brought an 8 month old boy Alva F. Redfearn with her.Also on the marriage certificate there is a Jeremiah Redfearn as the minister.We have no prove that Alice was married when she brought Alva with her or that she had been married before because Caldwell is her birth name.Her mother Nancy shows up in the 1870 census at Prairie Township,McDonald county with Senora being 3 months old also in the 1880 census with Senora as 10 years old also in McDonald county.Now in the 1860 Nancy with a husband I guess Silas shows up in Honey Creek Township,McDonald county.Any one know the Redfearn's?Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please and Thank you.

I am searching for information regarding John & Christina Farmer. They moved to McDonald County,MO from Camden County,MO prior to 1870 as they show up in the 1870 McDonald census. Believe that Christina died in McDonald County. It was sometime after the 1870 census, believe it was about 1873, since John remarried and moved back to Camden County where he died in1878.
I am particularly interested in finding out where Christina may be buried. I am also be interested in finding the name of John's second wife.

Am looking for any information on Jesse Dobbs (born 1873) who died in
McDonald County, February 1909 at age 36. The newspaper obit states
that his body was being returned to Webb City, where he resided.
Jesse Dobbs was preceded in death by his wife, Lucretia Jones Dobbs
who is buried in Lake Cemetery in Lamar, MO. There are no records to
indicate that Jesse is buried there. Any clue to connect Jesse to a
Dobbs family in McDonald County is greatly appreciated.

Trying to find death/obit on Nathaniel T. Hutchison and Lou Kate Hutchison. Probably died between 1920-1930.
I am looking for information on the Thomas Jefferson and Matilda Harrill Mitchell Family. Thomas Jefferson was b. bet. 1800 – 1810 and mar. Matilda Harrill b. bet. 1800 – 1815 TN. Matilda was the daughter of Hazel and Catherine Shanks Harrill. They were in Monroe Co., TN in the late 1820’s; sale of her share of her father’s land in 1831. They are living in Monroe Co., TN in 1840. Jefferson Mitchell is mentioned in Monroe Co., TN Deeds in 1834 and 1836. I believe that Jefferson is son of John Harrill, who is in Monroe Co. at the same time and sells land in 1834 and 1835. Evidently they moved to Polk Co., TN by 1850 Census. However, he is listed as Thos. K. Mitchell (initial is difficult to read in the handwritten census). He and wife, Matilda 25 have the following children: Catherine 18; Minney 16; John 13; Mary 11; Sarah 9; Jesse 7; Martha 5; and Lurania 1. Matilda is sister to Absolom Harrill, Samuel H. Harrill, Mary Harrill mar. Humble; Martha (can not find after 1840); and Daniel B. Harrill. I recently found out that the Mitchells may have moved to MO along with Thomas Jefferson’s siblings. Some of Samuel H. Harrill’s family moved to Laclede Co., MO.

Looking for info on John W. Chase and his wife, Eunice, whom I believe may have been in McDonald County after 1880.
Their son, Elmer, (sometimes called Archie or A. L. or Arch) and his wife Minnie (Slavens) were in McDonald County, maybe Anderson or Split Log.
Thanks for your interest.
