CHILTON/CUNNINGHAM/DAVIS/GOFF/HAWKINS/MORRIS/NESBIT/
SUGGS/WARREN
Looking for James NESBIT who applied for a divorce from second wife Eliza in Reynolds County in 1902. What a time trying to find this gggrandfather of mine. He was in Shannon in 1850 w/my husbands ggggrandparents Willoughby and Sarah SUGGS. In 1860 he and a brother were with my gggrandparents Stephen and Sena WARREN. He is not found again in census anywere until 1910. To complicate matters His first wife was Elizabeth HAWKINS who died in Shannon in 1893. Then this div. record found in 1902. In 1903 he married Angeline MORRIS in Shannon. And in 1910 He is married to Margaret and has a dau. Lila Geen born 1897. Also Bethel (male) born 1906 and May E. born 1910. He and Angeline divorced in Oct 1915 and he died in 1916. Joseph WELCH adopted Bethel and May E. then Joseph died and his niece May E. Goff CUNNINGHAM adopted May E. and changed her name to May E. GOFF. Would love to find descendants of May E. or Lila Geen family history states Bethel died young. To make matters more complicated James NESBIT brother Samuel NESBIT married first Elizabeth DAVIS and second Eliza CHILTON. So we have four Elizabeth/Eliza NESBITS. Does anyone have the Reynolds co 1900 census and would look for James Nesbit in Reynolds 1900 for me. Thank you very much.

SURNAMES: HOLLINGSWORTH
My 3rd great grandfather, Harbin HOLLINGSWORTH, served for the Union in the Civil War, and was released with disability in May 1863 in Lake Springs, MO. Family story was that he was killed in the war, but I just recently found this record of his being released. Why Lake Springs? Was there a hospital there, or some place of rehabilitation? He was born in Illinois, but his family moved to Springfield when he was very young. His wife and two young sons lived in Greene County, as far as I can tell. His sons were raised by relatives, and I don't know what happened to his wife, Elizabeth Minerva Reese Hollingsworth. Thank you for any info on Lake Springs!

NAME: Ronald Black
SURNAMES: BLACK/EARLES
John BLACK b. 1825 or 1826 in Tennessee married to "Abby" or Tabitha EARLES b. 1826 or 1827 in Kentucky; appear on the 1850 Census of Reynolds County. I am looking for earlier census data that may contain their names and family (if any at that time), and/or marriage and death record. For information purposes, the entire family without John BLACK moved to Sullivan County after the start of the Civil War. I believe the farm was taken by Confederates, and John BLACK was killed during the Civil War.
