SURNAMES: JARVIS/WALKER

I am researching my family and have hit a snag in Reynolds Co MO.  James JARVIS (b. 1830 TN) and his family were listed in the 1870 Reynolds Co. Census.  His daughter, Elizabeth, married William Joseph WALKER (my ggrandparents) there on 13 Aug 1874.  His wife is Leona (b. 1837 IL) and children are Elizabeth (b.1855 MO), James (b.1850 IL), Eliza(b.1866 MO), Rheubin (b. 1867 MO), Lewis (b. 1870 MO), Levi (b. 1872 MO), and Henry (b. 1873  TX).  Who are his parents and where was he before 1870?  What is his wife's maiden name? Where was she from?
