Greetings!
I am looking for information on the following:
Samuel C. Kincheloe, born in Shelbina, Shelby Cnty, MO(1855)
married Sara F. Mann, born in Chetopa, Labette Cnty, KS (1856).
Their children are:
Earl C. Kincheloe, born in Chetopa KS (1883),
Iven C. Kincheloe, born in Clinton, Henry Cnty, MO (1884),
Daphna Ruby Kincheloe, born in Monroe City, Monroe Cnty, MO (1890),
Ray P. Kincheloe, born (?)(1892)
Atrophia Kincheloe, born (?)(1894).
Looking for information on Sara Francis Mann and her family.
(Daphna Ruby is my G-grandmother)
This Kincheloe family branch seems not to have moved out of Missouri right away. George, Archibald, Elias. Philip, Robert, and Thomas
Kincheloe all owned property in Missouri 1835 thru 1912.
Believe Samuel C. Kincheloe is son of George Kincheloe. Any information would be greatly appreciated!

It was said that John Harrington (maybe Herrington) Anderson
came to Monroe County from Kentucky where he had raised tobacco. I don't know WHEN he
came, whether he was married in Kentucky or Missouri, or whether the first of his seven
children was born in Kentucky or Missouri. Robert Miller Anderson, the second
child, was born July 3rd, 1862-- so that is the first date I KNOW for SURE that
they were in Monroe Co.
John Harrington (Herrington) Anderson
+ His wife was Isobel (Isabel ?) Gilmour, and I've found no
trace of her in either Kentucky or Missouri.
James Anderson, the oldest--who
+ Married ?
Freda. Anderson
Robert Miller Anderson b. 7/3/1862 Monroe Co. moved to Carrollton where he met and married
+ Emma Jane Holman in 1891. (These were my grandparents)
John Anderson b. in Monroe Co. (Never married-stayed on the family farm near Florida )
Mary Anderson b. in Monroe Co.
(Never married-stayed on the family farm near Florida, where Mary kept house for her two brothers.
)
Thomas Anderson b. in Monroe Co
+ Married ?
Nelson Anderson
Mathilda Anderson b. in Monroe Co
+ Fred Utterback of Monroe Co..
Roy Utterback, both lived and
were raised on a farm near
Stoutsville
Virgil Utterback
George Anderson b. in Monroe Co.
(Never married-stayed on the family farm near Florida )
Of these seven, I only know the order of birth of the first four.
George and Mary were still living "on the old home place" where the family gathered for a reunion in the very early 1930's, according to a newspaper clipping that I have. I was there with my sister and mother (though I don't remember it). Also present were Thomas Anderson, and son Nelson (apparently from the Monroe Co. area) and Mr. and Mrs. Fred Utterback (Mathilda Anderson), Stoutsville area, plus other cousins that I don't know about, named Crabtree and Greening.
So all these relatives were around in Monroe County in the thirties---I just can't turn up anyone who might have more information than I do.
Looking for anyone who has information on the parents or siblings of John Harrington Anderson and wife Isobel Gilmour Anderson who were living in Monroe County, MO by about 1860. Thanks

Although on Robert's SSN application he lists his mother as Lide DAVIS?
and I can't find Ashley, Lizzie, Mary E. or Robert C. in the 1920 census although he and Mary E. YOHE from the family listed below were married
in 5 Apr 1930 in Madison. Mary died in 1945 after them having 4 children; James Ralph, Robert Davis, Betty Jean, and William Ashley.

Craig Marks 2 Jul 2000
I are searching for information on the gravesite of an ancestor of ours, Cptn. George Edward
Cecil Marks (CSA). We understand from our family records
that he was killed in June of July, 1862 in a skirmish b/t Union and Confederate forces in
Florida, Mo. Two men were killed. We found a reference in a Civil War
magazine article on the CSA campaign to a Cptn. Marks as one of the dead.
Unfortunately, in the one book written on the campaign (written by a doctor who was on the campaign and written almost 50 yrs later), the Cptn is
referenced as John Marks, our ancestor's brother. George Cecil's wife wrote that it was her husband killed there.
Nonetheless, the article we found suggests the grave site is still there in Florida although the city is apparently gone. Can you help us determine what
is on the headstone for "Cptn. Marks"? Is there someone we can contact/call to get this info? Any assistance you can give would greatly be appreciated.
Thank you.

I am researching BARTON, SPARKS, CRIM, DULANEY,
these families married into each other.....
I am trying to find a Louisa A. Sparks who married James Stephen Barton.. I have a photo of these two for they are my ggggrandparents.
He was well known in the Paris community as Uncle Jim.. I found his obituary in the local paper there and it said that everyone called him Uncle Jim.. Well Jim died in the county poor farm in 1904.. But he is not buried there as far as
I can tell.. I think he is buried in the Holliday (Bethel Cemetery) with his brothers Thomas, Wesley, and Elizah..
I need to find where his wife is buried and confirm who her parents are...
Her name is Louisa A. Sparks.. She was born in Ky. in 1822 and married James in Monroe co. in 1841. She is in the 1850 census,1880 census but not in the 1900 census with James nor is James.. So 1880 is the last time
I found her.. I need her death year... I was hoping someone could search the newspapers for her death.. Or if anyone has come across her name.. There were
a lot of Sparks in the area back then around Holliday.. I need to find where
their farm was maybe there is a cemetery there.. For I think her parents are James and Nancy Sparks.. this is one of many of my mysteries
I can't seem to solve.. But if I could have a death date of her it would really help me
a lot to close this chapter..
For I am wondering why my ggrandfather left home early in his life and never went back. I am thinking it's because his mother died and they were poor and he went to seek his own way of survival.. Please help..
The Bartons, Sparks, and Dulaneys came from Bourbon Co. Ky. Thanks

In the 1850 Monroe Co census there is Henry SPARKS and wife Nancy THRELKELD who married 12/9/1830 in Shelby Co, KY. Nearby is
Robinson THRELKELD and wife Eliza T. REED who married 12/31/1835 Shelby Co, KY. Robinson is the son of John THRELKELD and Jane
ROBINSON. Is Nancy THRELKELD a sister to Robinson THRELKELD. Henry SPARKS had a son Oliver, born 1833 who married 10/12/1854 Henry Co, KY Susan A. MADDOX. They appear in the 1860 Monroe Co, Clay Twp, census.
Who were the parents of Henry SPARKS and Susan A. MADDOX? The MAGRUDER families of Monroe & Shelby Co, MO appear to be associated with the SPARKS & MADDOX families in Henry Co, KY
before 1850.
There sure are a lot of SPARKS in Monroe Co, MO and a few in Marion Co.
Notley seems to be a MADDOX family given name which was later used in the SPARKS family.

Am looking for info on the Ben & Rosie Huggins' family. I have been told
that one (or both) of them (?) was of Indian Ancestry, possibly Navaho. That their daughter Minnie Missouri Huggins Adams was named for the state of Missouri because that was where the Indian Tribe originated. Can't confirm
whether either one was in fact Indian but really would like to know anything in this regard. Thanks

I am searching for information on the family of EPHRAIM SMITH, who married [1] Polly Bryant and [2] Lucinda Powers. Ephraim
and family were in Monroe County, Jackson township; in the1860 and 1870 census record. Ephraim farmed about 600 acres in
Monroe county, had a Paris Post Office. He was still living in 1880. He may have died May 1, 1893. Are there any property
records or a probate available for this Ephraim Smith? He was born abt 1810 in Mercer county, Ky.
Thank You
------------------------------
I am researching the family of Ephraim Smith, born in Mercer Co, Ky abt 1810. He moved with his family to Ralls/Monroe County, abt 1822/23. After losing his parents when he was about 17, {James H. and Prudence McGee Smith}, he stayed in Monroe County, buying abt 600 acres of land in Jackson township. I know he died after 1880, but ? A possibility may be 1 May 1893. Since he had a Paris P.O. Box in 1870, I am assuming he would have had an obit in the Paris Newspaper. One of his sons was named John W. I would appreciate very much if someone could find an obituary. I am researching the Smith family, so any help in sorting out the Smith's is really appreciated. His obit or a county history may tell also what happened to his parents.

I am searching for census record of related ancestor George W. Smith. He was living in Polk Co at the 1860 census with one of his
brothers. But he is not at that household in 1870. As he had been judged as mentally incapable of handling his own affairs earlier
in Monroe Co., {abt 1835} thought perhaps he went to live with brother Ephraim after the death in 1867 of his Polk County brother.
George W., born abt 1814 in Mercer Co., Ky. May have been living with brother Ephraim in 1870 census. Ephraim born abt 1810
also in Mercer Co, Ky. Ephraim may have been married to wife Lucinda Powers at that time, always lived in Monroe Co, MO.

In researching the Smith and McGee families, my question is: Are there any records of the Pleasant Hill Presbyterian Cemetery? I may have several relations buried there. Thank You.

I am researching surname BEARD, and specifically right now, Ferdinand W. Beard.
Following is info for your Monroe County Missouri surname list, which I obtained from the Kansas City Missouri branch of the National Archives. I
have hard copies of the following:
1850 Monroe County, District MO 59 Census
BEARD, Ferdinan -- lists wife and children.
Note: Incorrect spelling of first name Ferdinand.
1860 Monroe County, Clay Township, Granville Post Office Census
BEARD, Ferdinand -- lists wife and children.
Family rumor has it that Ferdinand W. Beard married Mary Wyatt Howell January 11, 1841, in Monroe County, but I have no solid proof of that as yet.
Thanks

Un-located Monroe County Tombstones/graves
I am searching for the location of the graves, tombstones, death records of ancestors James Harvey Smith and wife Prudence McGee Smith. It may be an unfound farm cemetery.
James Harvey Smith filed for 2 parcels of land in 1823, formerly in Ralls County, but since 1831 in Monroe County.
The location of the land is 100 acres in section 23 and 80 acres in section 22. James Harvey Smith died before Feb of 1829, as at
the date his eldest son James. H.M. was made guardian of his 3 younger unmarried brothers.
Prudence McGee Smith may have died before 1855, and at her husbands death may have gone to live with her daughter and
son-in-law, Molly and John L. McGee. A Jane Smith was made a ward of John L. McGee. In 1832 the
Monroe County circuit court ordered the land of James H. Smith sold and the proceeds given to his heirs, including a Jane Smith, whose guardian was John L.
McGee.
We had been thinking that Jane Smith was a small child of James Harvey and Prudence, but could Prudence have used the
name of Jane and been a ward of John L and Molly McGee at that time period? Jane Smith's death is recorded as before November
1845, as in November of 1845 a E.G.B McNutt was named the administrator of her estate, Jane Smith being deceased.
Some of the McGee family, i.e. a brother to Prudence, and her mother, lived in the Paris, Mo area, and are buried at Pleasant Hill
Presbyterian Church cemetery. Thank You for any and all help.
