Turk Thomas Humphrey Sun May 15, 2011
David HUMPHREY was my great great grandfather from Wales. Swansea, Glamorganshire, I believe. He was born in 1816 and emigrated to the US in 1849 aboard the Clinton DeWitt, leaving his family behind.
His wife was Eliza (Price?) HUMPHREY, born in the same location in Wales, I believe. She and their four children emigrated in 1850 to the US aboard the Montazuma.
David and Eliza (Elizabeth) first appeared in the 1850 US Census living in Allegheny County, Penn with their children: Ann (age 10), Margaret (7), David (4), and John (2). They were living with Thomas and Francis PRICE, whom I believe were Eliza's brother and sister-in-law.
By 1860 the David HUMPHREY Family was found in two locations: Syracuse, Meigs, Ohio and Pitt Township, Allegheny, Penn. Both locations were coal mining areas. They had added three children to the family by 1860: Mary (9), Thomas (5), and Sarah (2+).
By 1870 the US Census shows the David HUMPHREY Family living in Bevier, Macon, MO, with one new addition: Elizabeth ("Lizzie").
The 1880 US Census shows David living in Arkansas River, Fremont, CO as a miner, and his wife still living in Bevier, Macon County with their daughter Lizzie. The 1880 US Census also shows their son, David HUMPHREYS (34) living in Bevier with his wife, Ann Sarah (27), and their children: Lizzie (8), Annie (6), and Albert (1). David died Sept 9, 1888, and his wife, Elizabeth, died August 1, 1893. Both are buried in the St. Charles Cemetery in Bevier.
Notes on the spelling of the "HUMPHREY" name. It is spelled as follows:
David HUMPHREY in 1841 Welsh records
David HUMPHREYS in 1849 on the the Clinton De Witt ships's manifest
Eliza HUMPHRYS on 1850 on the Montezuma ships's
manifest
David and Eliza HUMPHRY in 1850 US Census
David and Eliza HUMPHREY in the 1860 US Census (Pennsylvania)
David and Eliza HUMPHREY in the 1860 US Census (Ohio)
David and Eliza HUMPHREY in the 1870 US Census (MO)
David and Elizabeth HUMPHREY in the 1880 US Census
David and Elizabeth HUMPHREYS in the St. Charles Cemetery records
David and Elizabeth HUMPHREYES in the old Thomas HUMPHREYS
Bible
I'm hoping someone might be able to provide some information on the David HUMPHRY(S)(EY)(EYS) Family. For instance:
--what was his middle name?
--where in Wales was he born?
--what was Eliza's maiden name?
--are there any HUMPHREYS still in the Macon area?
I live in Australia, and usually when I go to the US it is for vacation purposes. Missouri isn't a likely spot to be visited, so I'll need to rely on 2nd hand assistance.
All the best, your assistance would be welcome.

I am searching for the grave of Mexican War Veteran, William T. BURTON.
He died in Macon County on April 15, 1864 of consumption contracted in the war. He was listed as a farmer living near the town of Callao in the 1860 census.
The only family members that may have been buried in Macon County are two daughters of William (Amanda & A?) listed on 1860 census; however not listed on 1870 census.
William was married to Elizabeth McDANIEL in Ohio, I believe her brother or step-brother may have been John McDANIEL. He died in 1929 and is buried at Mt. Tabor Cemetery with his wife Barbara.
William had a daughter named Demaries and she married Lymon PROSSER. A son named William PROSSER was also listed in 1860; however he is not listed in the 1870 census. The family stayed in Macon County until after 1880, then moved to Kansas City, Mo. Elizabeth filed for a widow's pension in Macon County.
Your help would be appreciated.

I am a high school student in Paso Robles, California. I'm interested in history and spend a lot of time at my local antique store.
Today I found a fascinating letter written in 1931 from a college boy to his girl. I am intrigued by these two people and would be interested in knowing more about them, where they lived, and if they are now deceased.
The address is La Plata, Missouri, which I'm aware is in Macon County. It was mailed with a stamp that says Kirksville, 8.30 p.m., Jan. 29, 1931, MO.
The sender is a Glen WHITNEY, 109 East Randolph, and the recipient is Miss Esther DAVIS, La Plata, MO. They seem to be young college students. The text of the letter is as follows.
Jan. 29, 1931.
Dearest Esther-Last nite after Warren and I started to leave, I found Mary E.'s "pep" cap. I brought it back in and called for you- but got no answer so I tossed it in at the door. I didn't find your "tam" until this morning.
Did you find your ring? I hope so-. I guess Warren and Mary E. must not have quarreled as they usually do.
Did you find out who won that last game? La Plata?Esther- I am beginning to think that you're too good a girl for me. I have more respect for you than you will ever know- or ever think I have.
Yours,
Glen WHITNEY
p.s.- Will give you your "tam" the next time I see you.
Can you help me in this in any way or refer me to someone who can?
Thank you!

I am seeking information on the family of Jacob HACKLER and his wife Sarah MOORE.
Sarah MOORE HACKLER died in Macon Co, Feb 16, 1877. Jacob and Sarah were originally from Grayson Co Virginia. Sarah was born in Grayson Co. VA in 1812 and Jacob was born in Grayson VA April 20, 1799. In the 1840's they move to McMinn Co. TN.
They had a son Francis Marion HACKLER born in Walker Co Georgia in 1852. On August 22, 1875 Francis Marion HACKLER married Virginia Florence SEARS who had been born 1858/1859 in Sinabar Twn, Stoney Point, Missouri who was the daughter of Peter Anderson SEARS born in Kentucky in 1822 and Mary Francis KIRBY from Kentucky.
Francis Marion HACKLER and Virginia Forence SEARS had five children born in Macon, Missouri. The names of three of them are known. They are twins:
1. Eddie Francis M HACKLER
2. Elva HACKLER born November 1879
and
3. Nora E HACKLER born May 1888.
This family appears on the 1880 Macon Co Census: Francis Marion HACKLER was a railroad laborer. Between May 1888 and 1900 Francis Marion HACKLER, Virginia Florence SEARS, and the three children named above, moved to Valentine, Cherry Co. Nebraska.
I would like additional information on Jacob and Sarah MOORE's family. Their children's names are:
1. Harriet A HACKLER, born 1843 in TN and perhaps married 1864 in Macon Co to Jasper HENRY born 1841 and died 1883 in Macon Co. Under the name of Harriet Manerva HACKLER there is also a marriage on Apr 10, 1873 in Macon County to Solomon C HENRY.2. Hiram
3. Catherine
4. Jonathan
5. George W
6. Jane
7. Francis Marion
Also I would like to know what happened to Jacob HACKLER because I have found no reference to when and where he died and when or where he was buried.
Any help would be appreciated

I can not find a Church called “Earing” and since I’m interpreting could some one please clarify the Church name and suggest other resources that I may research in finding this family.
Thank you for any assistance that can be provided.
