I KNOW that he lived in Canalou, MO in 1910 because my grandmother, Theta Allen, was born there on Dec. 28, 1910 in Canalou, MO. Thank you for your time. Mallory Webb Zanetta paternal - Allen

Was Henry HARPER Jr., (brother of Nelson HARPER), married to Sarah MOORE, who was b. 1838 in Roane Co. TN? She was the daughter of Henry MOORE & Elizabeth ANTHONY. Henry HARPER Jr. was first m. to Keziah Brown who d. in 1853. They had 2 children, Mary Kesiah HARPER, b. 1851, MO, and Samuel HARPER, b. 1853, MO. Henry HARPER Jr. bought property from Andrew Jackson MOORE in 1858. Andrew was Sarah MOORE'S brother. (I was told that a parcel of that land was donated for the Harper Cemetery, east of Aid, MO.) On the 1860 Stoddard Co. MO census, Henry HARPER Jr. and his wife, Sarah, age 21, b. in TN, were living next door to Henry MOORE'S widow, Elizabeth. In addition to children Mary K. and Samuel HARPER, there was a son, James Marion HARPER, age 1, in the household. Henry MOORE'S son, James arion MOORE, died in 1857. I believe James M. HARPER may have been named for him. By the 1870 Stoddard Co. census, Henry HARPER Jr. was married to Sarah CORBIN, age 28, b. GA. At that time the children in the household were Mary, 19; Samuel, 14; Marion, 11; Margaret, 8; Sarah A. 6; Rachel, 4; John A. 1. By the 1880 Stoddard census the children were Laura A., 16 (was she the "Sarah A." from 1870?); James M. 21; John A. 10; Hubert N. 7; Lele Adella, 5; and Ethel Arena, 2. Henry HARPER Jr. moved to Lamar Co. TX shortly after that, where Henry died in 1883. Sarah CORBIN HARPER m. Nathan FLOWERS in Stoddard Co. on 15 Nov 1884, and they moved to Cook Co. TX. On 3 Jul 1886 in Stoddard Co. Circuit Court a Petition for Partition was filed by Samuel HARPER, Marion HARPER, Laura BEAN (late HARPER) and her husband, Asberry BEAN, Plaintiffs against Sarah FLOWERS and husband Nathan FLOWERS, John HARPER, Herbert HARPER, Lelia HARPER and Ethel HARPER, Defendants; heirs of Henry HARPER dec'd; partition of 160 acres. D fendants were listed as non-residents of MO. Henry's descendants with whom I've corresponded list only two wives for him, Keziah BROWN and Sarah CORBIN, but I believe this information indicates another wife for him between Keziah and Sarah. Was she Sarah MOORE, daughter of Henry MOORE & Elizabeth ANTHONY?

Looking for information regarding Joseph TROTTER father of John Devero TROTTER who resided in Stoddard Co., MO, Joseph was the son of Ebenezer TROTTER and is listed on the Stoddard county census records for 1880, 1900 and 1910. 1910 census lists him with his wife Sarah. I know that he was in Homing, Oklahoma in 1935 when his brother George died and my father remembers visiting with him in Buckeye, Arizona. apparently son John Devero TROTTER returned to Stoddard Co., area--does anyone know what happened to Joseph?

Looking for a great grandfather in MO. Possibly married in 1881 in Stoddard Co. This is the story my grandfather, age 84, told in 1968, 2 years before his death: His father, Alonzo A. WILLIAMS, was "a big Mason" and raised tobacco on his farm. When Alonzo died in 1892-93, his wife Annie Sara(h) BRADFORD, took Freeman Arthur WILLIAMS and Grover Thomas WILLIAMS, to Kaufman Co. TX, for reasons unknown. A cousin (unk. if maternal or paternal), Dr. Leslie MCSWAIN, was appointed guardian of the estate. Another cousin, Ted WINN/WYNN(GWYNN), bought the farm in abt. 1905, when both sons had reached legal age. Coincidentally, Grover turned 21 on 17 Sept 1905 and married on 1 Oct 1905, possibly on the proceeds from the sale of the estate. If this rings a familiar bell for anyone, please contact me by email. This is the only information I have to go on for either side of the family. Is there a way to research Masonic membership in this era? How about medical licenses. I'm very new to this and would appreciate any leads. Thank you.
