I am searching for Michael McGRATH.
He left Knob Noster, Johnson Co., MO for Excello in October 1890 with his
family.
He was to be "in the mining business."
He was born in Ireland to John and Margaret MCHAHON
McGrath and had at least 2 siblings:
a brother, John, and a sister, Mary.
They continued to live and die in Knob Noster.
Michael disappears from family lore when they moved to Excello. Any leads
would be greatly appreciated.

I am seeking information on two Civil War soldiers in a Macon County,

Their names are Capt. William H. LEWIS, and Capt.
Peter THOMPSON, and they served in the 42nd MO Volunteers
(US). Anyone who can tell me how these men died post-war, or know of any
vets of the 42nd who were murdered after the war, will be greatly
appreciated.
Legend says that my ancestor's son tracked down each living vet of Company
A, 42nd MO Volunteers, after the war and bushwacked them all. Fact or
fiction?
Were Capt's Lewis and Thompson murdered after the war? Was your ancestor
in Co. A, 42nd MO? Was he MURDERED? If so, I would like to hear from you!!!

Researching my grandparents, Alex GARRISON and
Ann HARRISON GARRISON.
They both lived in or near Sue City, Macon Co., MO.
Ann and Alex had two sons, Lloyd and John.
Ann died shortly after John was born.
I have acquired unconfirmed information that my grandfather then married
Annie Ferguson and I found a grave of a child born to them.
Ann's mother Louisa C. Harrison reared the two boys, and for some reason
the Macon Co. Court changed their last name to her name.
I know very little of Alex from that time up until now.
I have been told my grandfather died in the eighties.
Alex father was a prominent Dr. of that community for many years.
Confusion exists regarding which physician, Benjamin or Frank Garrison, was
his father as both practised in that period in Sue City, Mo.
I would very much like to find out more about him. If he ever remarried,
if so, to whom, and if they had a family.
I hope you can help me to learn more about him. Sincerely,

I have been looking into the DEAN genealogy for
a while now and have gotten stumped with Joseph DEAN and Mary Ann(e)
(BELCHER) DEAN who lived in Macon or thereabouts.
Joseph DEAN was born in Ohio in 1849 and died in Joplin. Mary Anne BELCHER
was born in 1850 in Virginia, both by census records.
Some land records show Abraham (or Abram) DEAN owning property adjoining
Joseph's and Mary's, but the details are sketchy and I am unable to follow
up on Abraham.
The census records show that they lived in Macon County.
Here is the genealogy:
My father: Prentice Walter DEAN b. 15 May 1928/Kansas City, MO d.
1978/Seattle, WA
My Grandfather: Prentice Walter DEAN b.9 Nov 1898/Macon, MO d. 23 Oct
1949/Seattle, WA
My GGF: Albert DEAN b. 27 Dec 1874/Keota, MO d. 31 Oct 1901/Joplin, MO
My GGGF: Joseph DEAN b. 1849/Ohio d. ???/Joplin, MO
My GGGM: Mary Ann(e) Belcher b. 1850/VA d. ???
If you could shed a glimmer of light on this, I would be very happy.
Do you have any info about these people that would help me connect my part
of the DEAN family to one of the main DEAN lines?

A book entitled, "Revolution Soldiers Buried in Missouri", published
by Missouri DAR states:
KING, Aaron, born ca. 1745; died after 1840, age 95 years. Wife: Hannah DYER
I am trying to find out if there is more information about these two
people in Macon County, MO.
Hannah died in Kentucky, but I am seeking information about Aaron, where
was he buried in Macon Co., etc.
Aaron King is NOT proven for DAR, according to the DAR Patriot Index.
Thank you for any information in this matter.
Vickie Luster for:
Martha Kimbrough, descendant of Aaron KING and Hannah DYER.
