I would like to make contact with anyone who has knowledge of the following early Hermann families. I am trying to find the town in Germany where my gr gr gr grandfather Wilhelm Stoehr/Stohr came from. He was in Hermann by 1839 as he is listed in a 1839 membership list of the German Settlement Society of Philadelphia. In the 1850 census he is listed as William Stair, 60 years old, a carpenter from Prussia. Listed with him is a Christopher Stair also age 60, a farmer from Prussia and 15 year old Charles Stair from Prussia. His daughter Fredericka is my gr gr grandmother and a family record which hung on a wall says she is from Saxony. No mention of a mother is ever found in any records or family papers.

The 1851 probate file of George Christoph Stohr, administered by Mathias Klenk, listed his heirs as:

Johanna Kengie/Keugel (?), formerly Johanna Stohr,

Frederica Moltenhauer/Multhaupt, formerly Frederica Stohr,

Augusta Klenk, formerly Augusta Stohr, and

Johanna Stueck (do not know the circumstances of the change in last names, her husband at this time is John Reinhardt Stueck) ,

Frederica Henze (she remarried on 10 Jan 1856 to William/Wilhelm Henze),

Sophia Wittig (a copy of an 1843 indenture is found in Gasconade probate records where Wilhelm Stohr, guardian of 9 year old Wilhelmina Sohia Mary Stohr, bound to Jacob Schiefer the said Wilhelmina Sophia Mary Stohr until she turned 18) .... Gasconade CO Marriage Records list the Jan 1 1853 marriage of William Wittich to Sohia Wilhelmina Stoehr.

Also found in Gasconade Marriage Records: Casper Schubert to Maria Sophia Stohr on Dec. 17, 1854. From Goodspeeds' History of Franklin, Jefferson....and Gasconade COS Mo comes the information that "Casper Schuebert was born in Bavaria on 12 Aug 1825...married Mary Star in May 1855 who bore him one child now deceased....Mrs. Schuebert died Jan. 20, 1857." Do not know who this Maria Sophia Stohr is.

William/Wilhelm Henze came from the area of Einbeck Germany. His father George Henze and third wife Elizabeth and three of chis children settled in Roark Twsp (Sec, 34, Twsp 46, R 5). William had first married Rosine Schramm (11 Sept. 1853). She died soon after daughter Lina (m. Joseph Rebsamen 18 Aug 1870) was born. The Henze roots and army service in Germany is well documented.

I need to know if there are records of births and deaths for Gasconade county 1890-1910, if so I might be able to find his parents names.

Researching gggrandfather, Francis W. Brinkman born about 1810 Hanover, Germany his wife Mary born about 1816 Hanover, Germany. I located Francis in the 1850, 1860, but not in the 1840 census. In the 1850, 1860 Francis lived next door to a Henry Brinkman whom was older than him. I believe that they were brothers, but I have not proven it yet.

I recently received a copy of Francis's naturalization paperwork from Gasconade County, MO, but it did not give any information regarding the ship, port or what town he was from. I'm sure he came over between 1840-1846.

Looking for any suggestions as too where to start looking for Francis W. and Henry immigration???

I don't know if you will be able to help me or not, but I was wondering if you have any information on Mt. Sterling in Gasconade Co.

I am researching Charles Samples, who was born in VA then migrated to Clay Co., MO. His father died in 1850 in Russel Co., VA. Family legend says that he sent two of his sons, James & William Sample to collect his inheritance and that James & William died in a hotel fire in Mt. Sterling before reaching VA. Some researchers believe this was Mt. Sterling, KY, it could be but a careful search of the news in that area has not yielded any hint of their deaths or of a hotel fire.

Since my GGrandfather Robert Samples married Nancy Crider and lived a time in the Maries & Gasconade area, I thought that the Mt. Sterling referred to in legend may be Mt. Sterling, MO, in Gasconade Co.

Surnames: DOUGLAS / DOUGLASS, BARNES, MARTIN GLO records show a Martin DOUGLAS deed dated 7 Sept 1838 (or 9 July 1838?) in Gasconade Co., MO. We have a Robert M. (Martin?) DOUGLAS(S) who apparently came to St. Louis Co., MO from TN with his parents in about 1815. He married Sarah BARNES on 13 Feb 1838 in Polk Co., MO, but there is no evidence that they ever lived in Polk Co.. They are in Jackson Co., MO in1850 (census), then Sebastian Co., AR (land grant) in 1860 and 1870 (census). Robert M. was believed to be the son of William Isom DOUGLAS(S)and Nancy MARTIN. Could this be the same man that was in Gasconade in 1838?

I am doing the research on my husband's family of Clarks.

J. B. Clark was born in Williamson County, Tennessee circa 1867

He is listed in the household of T.J. Clark and Annie Clark. In his early adult years he married a woman unknown to us, and had 5 boys...probably in the Memphis/Nashville Tennessee area. Mary Mueller (daughter of Minnie Oberdeck and Henry Mueller) was born in Bland, MO (Gasconade County) in 1887

In the 1910's he was working on the Rankin brother's farm in Atchison County, Tarkio, Missouri. I did find him on the 1920 census with wife Mary, daughter Laura and son Johnnie. Mary was a Mueller, and I found her mother and brothers in Tarkio City listed as Minnie Miller (head of household) along with sons Lewis, Herman, Fred W. and William W. and daughter Rose. They lived on 3rd Street in Tarkio City.

In 1923 I know they were living in Mt. View, Missouri ( Howell County) where my father-in-law was born. William E. Clark was born on 1-28-1923. I am thinking they may have had a farm there, as the story goes that Dad only weighed 2 pounds when he was born, and his grandmother, Minnie, saved him by keeping him in a dresser drawer right by the wood stove.

We recently found out that Minnie Oberdeck Mueller was buried in Tarkio with her husband, Henry Mueller. Dad was very happy to receive that information, as he never knew the correct date of her death, nor did he know when she died.

My paternal grandfather, FRANK HOENER, married my grandmother, MARY EHLER, in Gasconade County where they had six children: JOHN HOENER B 5/4/1889, HANNAH HOENER B 3/13/91, SAMUEL HOENER (my father), B 8/23/1893, FREDA HOENER, B 3/3/1896, WILLIAM HOENER, B 4/27/1898, and LYDIA HOENER, B 3/1/1900. They left Gasconade County with their children around the turn of the century, moved to Saline County, MO where they lived for many years. Any information you can provide will be appreciated.

Trying to locate death records of Jeremiah Wilson, whose wife and children were in Washington Co. AR at the time of his death traveling in Gasconade Co. MO.

James Reed Wilson died February 3, 1898. His obituary in the February 20, 1898, issue of the Cedarvale Commercial describes J. R. as "adevoted Christian, admired by all his friends and respected by all who knew him. Before his death J. R. was confined to his bed for weeks, but was always patient and agreeable to those who attended him... His remains were buried in the cemetery on his farm, by the Pleasant Valley school house."Reverend Kidd preached J.R.'s funeral sermon from Hebrews 11:14, "These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and embraced them, and confessed they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth, declaring plainly that they seek a better country."

My name is Amy Frick, and my great grandmother was born and raised in Hermann, Missouri. Her name was Thelma Breuer Turner (b. c. 1898). Herfather was Ransom A. Breuer, and mother was Josephine P. Kragle Breuer. I can't find anything on the Breuer's before Ransom. Does anyone have anyinformation on the Breuer family?

George Jr. was born in Herman, Gasconade, MO. around 1863. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Vaughan, Branson, Murphy, Turnure

I have a Canaan Township, Gasconade County mystery that I hope someone can help me solve. The 1870 census indicates that two young women, Sarah Branson and Sarah Murphy, were living with my great-great grandparents, William and Arabella Williams Vaughan. I know very little about Sarah Murphy other than the fact that she married Daniel Webster Turnure in 1874 after the death of Daniel's first wife, Mary E. Vaughan (William's daughter). I know nothing about Sarah Branson. I would appreciate any information that would shed light on who these young women were and why they were living with the Vaughans.

He lived in Gasconade County prior to 1840, and supposedly served as sheriff of Gasconade County during that period. @ 1840, he moved to Bates County, and resided in the area which later becameVernon County. Most of this information is from a _History of Vernon County_, published over 100 years ago.

I am looking for ANY family information on the Tayloe or Rutz families. Harris Tayloe, of Bem, was my Great Great Grandfather. He had two wives, both named Elizabeth. Between them they had several children, I don't know all their names. Some were, Wilbert E., Earl, Henery, and Nora, (from second wife). I believe there were all girls from the first wife. Wilbert E. Tayloe is my Grandfather. He married Caroly Hazel Rutz-Tayloe. Earl never married. Henery married and had children. Nora married and also had children. Only Wilbert E. is left living. Until the last year my Grandparent's lived on a farm in Bem on Tayloe road. Earl, until his death several years ago, still lived and worked his families farm in the same area. His son. my Father, has heart problems and we are trying to do a family tree as far back as possible. (not much luck) I do know that someone in the family did have a large family tree history that was hanging on a wall in someones home. I saw it as a child. If anyone has any information on any on these family names please let me know. Thank you.
