Date: 29 September 1997 Name: Cee Rodriguez My dad's mother's side of the family was Garrett. John Garrett [ed note: 'GARRIOTT'] was my Great-grandfather who also fought in the Civil War on the northern side but he returned home. He was a farmer & I believe he had 12 or 13 kids. He is buried in Halfrock. I believe the only thing left in Halfrock is the church & graveyard. The Garrett family reunion used to be held there. I only meet some of the family when I was very small. My dad had three sisters-Ninnie, Ethel & Flo. Aunt Ethel & Aunt Flo stayed around those small towns the rest of their lives. They are also gone. I know they had children. Aunt Ethel married Frank Russell & I believe their son's name is Kenneth. Aunt Flo married Jess Warren. I believe they had a daughter named Mary or Mary Jane. I suppose I'm lucky to know as much as I do but I really would love to locate some of my cousins & find out more about the family back ground. I hope you can pass on some information to me or let someone know of my search. Thank you so very much. Cee

Date: 29 July 1997 Name: Ed Book Between 1839 and 1867, at least two migrations of persons from the Plain Grove/Harlansburg area on the borders of the above three Pennsylania counties to Mercer Co., MO took place. In 1839, Jonathan VOGAN BARNES (1810-1885) and his wife Susanna (STUDEBAKER) BARNES (1811-1863), moved from Butler Co., PA to Mercer Co., MO, and are buried at Barnes Cemetery, Flat Rock, MO. Sometime between 1846 & 1848, William WASSON and Mary (STANDRIFF) WASSON also moved from Butler Co., PA to Mercer Co., MO. Finally, a William F. FITZPATRICK and Enoch F. DEAN, who were present at the WASSON-STANDRIFF marriage in the early 1840's in Butler Co, PA, are known to have moved to Mercer Co., MO by 1867. If anybody descends from these individuals, or from other co-migrators, I'd like to correspond with you. None of these Mercer Co., MO individuals are in my direct line, since my family stayed here in Butler Co., PA, but I do have a fair amount of information on the residents of northwestern Butler Co., PA during this period.

Lorenzo Dow COLLINGS was born 15-April-1835 in Putnam Co., Indiana the son of Abraham L. COLLINGS and Lydia GRAHAM. He married Sophia Catherine WEESNER 5-August-1853 either in Putnam Co., Indiana or Mercer Co., Missouri. They were among the large number of Putnam Co., Indiana residents who migrated to Mercer co., Missouri in 1850-1855. Sophia Catherine WEESNER was born 3-March-1834 in Rowan Co., North Carolina and I have her father as Charlie which could be a nickname. I have information on many other families who came to Mercer Co., Missouri from Putnam Co., Indiana at the same time including these surnames ADER, AKERS, EVANS, DUREE, PICKETT, YATES and others. Will share my COLLINGS data back to 1720.

Date: 13 February 1997 Name: R Ross I would appreciate hearing from anyone in Mercer County, Missouri. I was told that a family in Putnam County has the property.

His wife was Hannah and children William H., Elizabeth J., Flora Ann, George S., and David Nelson. David married Ella Yargus. I have other information if anyone is able to help. The courthouse fire in 1898 did not help matters in my research and also the destruction of tax lists by the county haven't helped. History should never be destroyed without trying to preserve it first. The genealogical society could have taken them off their hands and published this information for all other Mercer County researchers. Any help would be appreciated.

I am seeking information about a SHIELDS family known to be in Bates county 1860-70. Job SHIELDS and wife and children were found on the 1860 census in Mt. Pleasant in Bates Co.

I was wondering if anyone from my family has information concerning Michael EKISS and Nancy Cunningham Ekiss. They immigrated from Virgina and settled in Missouri sometime in the mid 1800's.

HIGGINS, James Jesse born June 23,1853 in either Ireland or Indiana. Was living in (Lineville, Mo) Mercer county and in (Lineville, Iowa)Wayne County as early as 1890. He married my great grandmother Mary Alice MARSHALL, either in Butler County Missouri or Lineville on October 10,1878. I have not been able to find much information on these two except for a 1900 Missouri Census, which lists all of their children as follows: Arthur, Lulu, Bert, Ira, Jenny, Everette, Earnest, Frank, William (My grandfather), not including my Uncle Claude who was not born yet. The story is that they had a hotel right on the state line, in Lineville MO/IA. I believe after some trouble, my great-grandfather moved to St. Joseph (around 1910) and my Great Grandmother moved with some of her children to Green City, Mo. Would appreciate any information on my Great grandparents, especially any news accounts of trouble in Lineville.

I am searching for a family by the name of DEAN who may have lived in Princeton, Mercer County, MO in 1895-1898. Nettie Belle KELSEY, born July 4, 1879 in Missouri married a MR. / DEAN, about 1895-1898. They had at least two boys. Nettie KELSEY was the daughter of James and Margaret CAMPBELL KELSEY who married on February 10, 1867 in Princeton, Mercer County, Missouri. Their other children, siblings of Nettie's were:
Mr. DEAN removed himself and the sons and Nettie never saw these boys again. In 1901, Nettie remarried Ethel Kethcart SHARP, and their first born son Edward Elmer SHARP was born in Mulberry, Kansas, just across the line from Mindenmines, Missouri on March 7 or 9th, 1904. Two more children were born in Missouri, and then the family moved to Montrose Colorado about 1910. By 1913, the SHARP family had moved to Somerset, Gunnison County, Colorado, where the rest of the children were born, and there they lived and died. Two sisters of the children of Nettie and Ethel SHARP remain. They know little of their half brothers, the DEAN boys. I have information, i.e. children's lists and dates behind these generations, but I would like to locate these two little DEAN Boys. Any assistance toward locating information on any part of these families would be most appreciated.
