SURNAMES: GILBERT, STAFFORD, BLACKWELL, TURNEY & TURNER
Am researching Nathaniel D GILBERT and his wife Elizabeth STAFFORD who lived in Crawford Co during the 1840, 1850 and 1860 census. They were married in St Francois Co in 1825 and came to Crawford Co about 1837. The census say Nathan was born about 1804 in Virginia. Who were his parents and where was he born? The census say Elizabeth was born about 1807 in Missouri. Were her parents Noah and Sarah (BLACKWELL) STAFFORD who also resided in Crawford Co and died and are buried there? The Gilberts were always living next door to one of the Stafford daughters. I have seen several family group listings for Noah and Sarah but none of them list Elizabeth as a daughter.

Was the Nathan GILBERT who married Mary TURNEY in 1864 this same Nathan?

I have located all of Nathan's children except Francis E who married Matthew TURNER in 1861 and William E who married Mary M TURNEY in 1873. Where did these two children go after their marriages?

Would like to hear from any descendants of Nathaniel and Elizabeth (STAFFORD) GILBERT.

They married and I am working on one of their children Bertha Gertha-Frueh-Robertson who resided in St. James for a while. They should be on the 1880 soundex but I am an hour away from any library. Can you help? I will gladly share all information I have gathered on this group. They are buried at the Gerth cemetery. Can anyone tell me where that is? Thanks so much. God Bless, Diana

SURNAMES: ANDREWS & BANTA
James Andrews and his wife Malinda arrived in Crawford Co in 1854 from NC. Their son Henry married Samantha Banta daughter of Willam Banta, about 1870. Is there anyone who has access to the 1860 and 1870 Censuses that would be willing to look up the James Andrews & William Banta families in 1860 Census? The same for 1870 plus the Henry Andrews family if any. They probably were all in Osage Tnsp. Thank you very much.

SURNAMES: EGGERS
Trying to clarify marriages of Daniel EGGERS Jr. born about 1823 in Indiana. Crawford Co marriage records indicate that he married Sarah THOMAS on 26 November 1840 and Caroline REEVES on 11 March 1840. Appears to have had kids by both women. Can these dates be correct.
