SMITH
I am trying to locate the burial place of Earl Smith, s/o Jacob
and Ada Curtis Smith. The Shaddy Cemetery records show that
Earl
is buried there and that there should be a flat stone marking the grave.
I have been unable to find the burial plot or the marker. Does anyone
have information about the date and place of death of Jacob Smith
or his daughter Eunice. Eunice would have been born
and died between Oct. 1904 and the 1910 census. Jacob was
also the father of Alfred who was born March 9, 1909.
Jacob
was not listed on the 1910 census.

WALKER; DOWDEN; TUCKER; HELSLEY
I am trying to discover more information about my Walker family
heritage because so very little is known. This Walker family
spent a great deal of time moving from place ot tplace, therefore it may
be hard to keep up. Beginning with Garner Mack Conco Waker
(1829-1906) and his first wife Jane Dowden (--1872) were born in
TN. Nothing else is known about her. Apparently the family
moved back and forth between Jefferson County IL and White County TN as
their children's birthplaces seem to indicate. Their children were
Amanda,
George, W. S. "Doc", Robert, Freeman, Mary, Charles and Susan.
By 1879 the family settled to stay in Van Buren Township, Wright County
MO. Robert Lewis Walker married Florence Tucker, possibly
born in Jefferson County IL. Nothing is known about this Tucker
line. I have information about Robert's life in Wright County,
but the Walker and Tucker families in TN and IL are lost
to this line of the family. Can you help me?

I am searching for information about the parents of my grandmother,

was a town or county. Hattie's mother was Martha Jane Moore
born in Mansfield. The 1900 census shows a new wife, Melinda M.
(1870). There are three siblings: Samuel R. (Oct. 1889), HarleyL.
(July 1895) and Cora A. (June 1898). The census indicates
that George was a section foreman, which leads us to believe he
worked for the railroad. Does anyone know anything about any of these
people? I am especially interested in Martha Jane Moore, who
her parents were, etc. Also, does anyone know of any history books
that talk about the building of the railroad in that part of the country

NEWTON; BRENTLINGER; O'DELL
I'm looking for any information on Henry Garrison Nevels Newton
and
his wife Mary Almeta Jane Brentlinger. They are my
husband's great-grandparents. I've just started researching this
line. He remembers visiting them with his grandparents in the late
thirties, maybe forties. They lived near Mountain Grove. Their children
were Charles A., Oscar D., Orin N. (Oscar and Orin were twins),
Jesse O., Henry V. and Lester F. My husband's grandfather
was Charles. Charles married an O'Dell.
I have no other information on Mary Brentlinger. Thanks in
advance.

BUTTRAM; PRIESTER
We are very interested in information regarding Kirk Buttram who was
born in the Grovespring area in the 1880's. We know he had a lot of siblings,
but know little about them. Also, any information relating to Viola Priester
Buttram's ancestors would be helpful. We do have some information on her,
however. Let me know if I can share what we have with you.
