Looking for decendants of Francis M. BLACKABY, son of Chatherine SHRADER and Henry BLACKORBY, found on the 1860 and 1870 census of Monroe County, Missouri. The above name difference is not in error. Henry could not
write his name; the marriage clerk spelled it BLACKOBY. Later Catherine and Henry got a divorce. Henry remarried and his family went by BLACKORBY. Francis M's year of birth is about 1841 in Oldham County, KY. I have not had access to the 1880 census to know if BLACKABY he is on it or not. In the in Mt. Zion Cemetery, located 8 miles south of Paris, Missouri, there is a tombstone that has Francis M. BLACKABY b.1833, d. 1892. With an 8 year variation in the ages, I believe this may be Francis M.

Would appreciate anyone's help on determining if it is BLACKERBY or BLACKABY buried at Mt. Zion. Thanks.
