NAME: Brenda Theus E-MAIL: [email protected] DATE: 5 March 1998 SURNAMES: HOWELL I am researching Henry Clay Howell b. 1848, Marion County. Both parents were also born in Missouri. I am also interested in learning of any siblings Henry might have had. Henry could very well have been a slave. Both or one of his parents probably were slaves as well. He appears in the 1880 with his wife Nancy and children and is listed as mulatto, which suggests he very well might have been owned and perhaps by a white Howell family in Marion County. Only few families in Missouri owned slaves in large number; however many families owned between one and six slaves. Around the turn of the century Henry moved with his family to Quincy, Illinois. There is some indication that Henry may have served in the Civil War. All information will be greatly appreciated!

I thought that it was in Clark county, but I have found that in Marion County there is a small town called Emerson. Am I right? The grave that I'm looking for is that of Nell (could be Nellie) Perry Savage and her husband Louis (could be Lewis). From a family Bible, I was told that they were buried near Wyaconda, which is in Clark County. However, I have come across a letter from a daughter of Nell and Louis written at the time Louis passed away saying they buried him "next to mother at Emerson" . I am hoping you do have an Emerson town, and really hoping there is a cemetery there with the same name.

I had always heard that my grandfather came from Hannibal, Mo. and (his claim to fame) was that he was a friend of Samuel Clemmens. I mention this only to set a time frame for this search. My grandfathers name was James Lemuel Finnie. I don't know his father's name but his mothers name was Harried Mead Holt Finnie. I am sure they moved to Texas prior to 1889 because she, Harried Mead Holt Finnie, died in Gainesville, Texas, Sept. 12, 1889. If you happen to run across any of these names in your records, I would really appreciate your letting me know. Also, if you can suggest any other lines of research that I could follow, I would be most grateful as this is my first attempt at tracing my families history.
