I found my mother Clara Mable Carney on the 1910 census for Greene Co., Springfield, MO. living with her father William H Carney b.1854 and 2nd wife Rebeca age 54. William must have died shortly after that census because I have pictures of my mother at age 10-11 with the Alexander Carnagie family of Humansville and her listed on the 1920 census for Polk Co, MO with the Carnagies. I found also found on the 1900 census in E. St. Louis, IL, William H. Carney married to Ida Mills in 1900 in Fayette Co., IL. It is said that some of the Mills may have removed to Missouri and that may be how the Carneys ended up in Greene Co although Ida Mills probably died before my mother was aged 2.

Dr. Bob Carskaddon, married Nancy Swadley, daughter of Henry & Mary Swadley, who had a farm near Lawrence in 1870 Census. Robert & Nancy had children: Minnie, James Henry, Synthia & Jackie (twins), Jess, Birtha & George--all born in MO 1874-1889.

I am searching for any information I can find on my mother, Clara Mable Carney Carnagie McKim. She was born 10-10,1901 we believe in Vandalia, Illinois. Parents unknown but possibley Carney. She was placed in a orphanage in Springfield at around the age of 7-11 years old. From there she was taken in by a foster family by the name of Carnagie of Humansville, Polk County. She was never adopted by this family. She married Roy Preston McKim I believe in Springfield in 1921. I would be interested in receiving information on the families mentioned or contacting the orphanage where she may have been placed.

My ancestor Jonathon Reno was stabbed to death in a Springfield brawl in 1838. I have heard that an account was written up in one of the Springfield History books, but which one? Jonathon had moved his family to MO from Schuyler CO IL after the death of his wife Sarah. What happened to their 14 children? Most of them moved to the Springfield area-anyone else doing Reno research?

David Stauffer, who I believe to be my great-grandfather, resided at 1027 Union Street, Springfield, MO in 1908. I don't know the range of years he lived there. Would appreciate hearing from anyone with Stauffer connections. Thank you.
