Comments: Looking for any information on the WALDON (WALDEN) family who moved to Columbus Township in 1856. James R. Waldon was apparently a large land owner and it is said he had a school named after him. He never married. Does anyone know when he died and where he might be buried? I have an 1811 birthdate for him but on the 1860 and 1870 census he is shown as 10 years younger. His brother Jeremiah and sister Delila(?) came with him. Have no other information on them. His mother Ruth also came with them. She died in 1861. Have no other information on her other than that she was born in Virginia. Would appreciate if anyone can provide me with a maiden name and place of burial. Any help is most appreciated!!!

Marshall was living in Scotland Co., MO until the death of his wife in 1913 when he left home and was never heard from again. Have information that a Marshall ROBISON 1833-1920 is buried in Johnson Co. in a cemetery located on County Rd. M at Columbus adjacent to the site on which the first court was held. This is from CEMETERY RECORDS OF MISSOURI, Vol.II, 1965.

Comments: I am trying to find out some information on my ggreat grandmother Lydia Brant Shear. Her parents are Jacob E and Mary E Brant. (I have no maiden name for her mother) Lydia Brant was born in VA as well as her brothers Phillip and Charles. Her brothers Armond and Henry were born in PA as well as her parents. I know 3 of the 5 children that Lydia and her husband August Shear had were born in Warrensburg, MO. The children's names are Stella Shear born 8/22/1878, John Shear born 1874 and Maggie Shear born 9/14/1879. They had a son named Jacob who was born 6/1/1869 in Marblehead, IL. There is a possibility of another son named Albert who may have been born in Johnson Co. also but I can't seem to find any information on him. August and Lydia probably moved to Warrensburg around 1870. I believe her parents moved there first and then her and August followed them only to return to Marion Co., Palmyra, MO where they died in 1890 and 1897 respectively, and are buried. I can't seem to find out where her parents are. If you have any information on Lydia or her siblings or her parents, please email me.

Comments: I am hoping to find some information on Frances (CALLAWAY) LAMME (1785-1856). Frances is buried on my property here in Warren Co.....or at least she has a headstone here. This was the property she owned with her husband, William T. LAMME from Virginia. Frances was the grandaughter of Daniel Boone. I have read that she died in Warrensburg, Missouri. I think this is an error....I think she died here at her home but I would like to find any reference there might be to her and Warrensburg. Could it be that someone confused Warrensburg with Warren County? There are several members of her family also buried here in their little family cemetery including her husband, several children, and grandchildren. I appreciate anything anyone might share or point me to on this subject. Thank you.

He eventually moved in 1877 to St. Clair County,MO and died in Schell City in 1880. One of Samuel's 7 children from his second marriage was David. David also moved from the same area in Ohio a few months after his father to Johnson Cty. and lived near Warrensburg. In his 80's and early 90's David wrote a remarkable autobiography which discusses, in great detail, the names of farmers etc. that lived in his area near Warrensburg and stories about the vigilante committee that saved him and neighbors from local bad guys. Neighbors names like: Lyons, Nathaniel Bludget, Johnny Gardner, Tom Houts, Nick Bender, Henry Shoop, Henry Turner, W.H.Burford, Ben Bartley, Bill Linn, Sam Mathews,George Laufman, and many others. With the possible exception of David's one brother, Samuel, who probably died in Johnson County, most of the Reeds moved on to St. Clair Cty, MO. Thanks.

Comments: I am searching for information about my Grandparents and their parents and families. Grandparents: REBECCA ANN SMITH, b. 12-04-1884, Butler, MO, m. FRED L. LIVENGOOD, October 14, 1903, Nyhart, MO, b. 09-16-1879, New Home, MO. I believe that their families lived in the Warrensburg/Knob Knoster areas at one time and that some of the family might be buried in Warrensburg or Knob Knoster(as passed down by word of mouth). My GGrandparents were: ISAAC SMITH, b. Alabamba, d. 01-23-1889, m. SARAH LUCINA BRADLEY, b. KY, d. 04-04-1904; THOMAS M. LIVENGOOD, b. 02-14-1836, NC, d. 12-04-1909, MO m. MARY A. WILEY, b. 04-12-1847, d. 04-10-1908, MO (they are buried at Round Prairie Cemetery in Foster [Hudson Township], along with an ISAAC WILEY [Civil War headstone - no dates]), m. 02-17-1864, Johnson County, MO. If anyone has knowledge of these families, I would appreciate receiving whatever information is available. Thanks - Patricia (Pat) Tejeda, tejedap@vcss.k12.ca.us

Comments: Name: Nathaniel BIGHAM. I am trying to find anything for my ggg grandfather, Nathaniel Bigham. The only thing that I have that would tie him to Johnson County is a deed ( Or Patent) that was given or sold to Nathaniel Bigham of Johnson Co., MO in 1843 and was signed by President John Tyler. This was recorded in the Land Office in Lexington. I do not know where he died. May have been in Johnson County. His wife, Rebecca, died in Platte Co. and was living with her son John.I would be gratful for any help. Howard Bigham Garland, Texas
