HOPSON posted by Stewart Monroe on Friday, October 10, 1997

Need information on MARGARET ELLEN HOPSON b. 1839, Ohio; m. Isaac Stewart Vanlandingham, 8 Apr 1859, Shelby Co., Mo. I need to know who her parents were. According to the 1850 census, Nancy Hopson of Ralls Co. had a g/d Margaret of about the right age, and in the 1840 census Joseph Hopson is listed in Ralls Co. and has a daughter of about the right age to be Margaret. Another possibility is that Margaret was the d/o Hiram Hopson who m. Elizaeth Tutor, 18 Jan 1833, Marion Co. I would appreciate any information on Margaret Ellen Hopson, and would like to correspond with others interested in the Hopson family.

SHULSE posted by Michael Shulse on Saturday, October 11, 1997

I am researching Shulse, (and various spellings) genealogy. My ggg grandfather Peter Shulse came to Ralls Co. Mo. in 1840 from Nicholas-Montgomery Co. Ky. His father, Henry and Peter's brother Henry and sister Elizabeth settled in Adams Co., Ill. Peter's brother Marcus settled in Ralls Co. also. A brother Jonas did not stay long and went back to Ky. Indications are that they were in N. C. before going to Ky. Any help would be appreciated.

BRYAN, DAVIDSON, ENOCHS posted by Mary Pielemeier on Sunday, October 12, 1997

Wish to contact anyone with knowledge of the Enochs family of Monroe Co. Thomas Enochs and wife Nancy Bryan were married in Rowan County N.C. in 1786 and came to Jefferson Co. Ky about 1800. Had a large family in what is now Oldham County. After Thomas Enochs died his widow Nancy Bryan remarrried and migrated with children and other family members to Monroe Co., Mo. Where she died and is buried. Wish to get in touch with family members who would have information about this family. Nancy Bryan Enochs was related to Rebecca Bryan, Daniel Boone's wife. Nancy Bryan Enochs was the daughter of Samuel Enochs and Margaret McMahan from Rowan Co. N.C. Samuel was the Tory Col. who was a brother to the founder of Bryans Station in Ky. His brother Wm. was a presbyterian minister and these two men were the only ones who stayed loyal to the king during the Revolution. The other brothers came to Ky. Nancy Bryan Enochs was my gr.gr.grandmother. Her daughter Mary (Polly) who married Daniel Davidson came to Carlisle, Indiana and settled about 1817. I am trying to find where Mary Enochs and Daniel Davidson were married and who Daniel's parents were. The Enochs family is well documented in N.C. in court records and land transfers in what is now Davies County. Thank you for any help you can give me. Will be happy to exchange information. 4513 Lockerbie Court, Carmel Indiana 46033
