African American Residents of Paris, MO
I am searching for descendants of my father. His name was Harry Franklin Hill; his father's
name was James Hill; his mother's name was Nellie (Troy) Hill. There were seven siblings;
all raised in Paris, MO; however, they relocated to other states. One sister, Bessie, did
not leave until the late 60's or early 70's. She married Ray Lasley, who was also from Paris. The
Hill siblings were born approximately between 1900 and 1918, and all are deceased. Are their
marriage and birth records of African Americans? Are there any records of slave ownership or
manumission papers? Any help you can provide will be helpful.

Gary James Nov 13 1999 William JAMES family I'm trying to confirm a family rumor that the rest of my great-great grandfather's (William James SR.) family emigrated from Iowa to the Macon Co. Mo. area. Consequently, because of vagueness, I am including Monroe Co. in my blanket inquiry of Macon Co. and its contiguous neighbors. It has been reported that his date of death was 1876, but that is unconfirmed. A widower-emigrant from Wales, he brought his six children to America --- The children: William Jr., David, Stephen, John, Gad & Mary. Arriving in NY in 1852, he then traveled west (about a year later) through Utica, NY, to West Liberty, Ia. to the Macon Co.(???) area - where the Iowa family lost them. Gad and Mary stayed in Iowa. She married and he set himself up in farming (after a trip to the mines in Virgina City, Mt. to raise a stake). It has been suggested that Stephen went with him, but that has not been confirmed. Anyway the Iowa family has lost all track of William Sr., William Jr., David, Stephen & John - thus the reason for this query. Thanks in advance for your effort. G. James

Robert S. McGee, Jr Nov 5 1999 MCGEE, Robert, 1850 Monroe County census Looking for information and connection on the McGee family line from 1850 Monroe County census. The census lists the following: Robert McGee, 57, M, Farmer, $300 real estate owned, b Kentucky Nancy A. McGee, 47, F, b Kentucky John McGee, 20, M, Blacksmith, b Missouri David McGee, 19, M, Blacksmith, b Missouri Mary M. McGee, 16, F, b. Missouri, attended school Josef McGee, 13, M, b. Missouri, attended school Robert McGee, 12, M, b. Missouri, attended school My research suggests that Robert, age 12, is my gr-gr grandfather. Robert and his brother, Joseph (Joshua) went west to Oregon via the Oregon Trail in 1856. I then find Robert and Joseph (Joshua) listed in the 1860 Oregon census in Marion Co. Robert (b 14 Nov 1836, d 19 Aug 1912) was thought to be born in Cooper Co., MO but I found only 3 McGee families in Cooper Co, none of which contain a Robert and Joseph(Joshua). I only find a McGee family here in Monroe with the combined male children of Robert and Joseph (Joshua) living in the same household, and with approximate ages for 1850. Robert married Martha Drinkwater (possibly from Cooper Co., MO) on 8 July 1860 in Marion Co.,OR. Joseph (Joshua) married Martha's older sister, Amanda Drinkwater, on 11 Sept 1860 in Marion Co., OR. I have the complete McGee lineage from Robert almost completed. I have just started to work on Joseph (Joshua). Any connections, leads, or tie-ins would be greatly appreciated.

Sally Watts Haithman Oct 9, 1999 I am looking for a needle in a hay stack. My great great great-grandfather, JAMES WILSON HAITHMAN (a variant of HEATHMAN) was an enslaved half-Native American. He met his wife in Monroe County, in Paris. Since he has two last names, I assume he was owned by someone named Wilson, and sold to someone named Heathman or Haithman. Since he was born in Lexington, KY, I can't be sure whether he was sold before or after moving to Missouri. I am hoping to find information about the Monroe County Heathmans (and Wilsons), in order to straighten this out. Many thanks.

James Madison & Elizabeth DAVIS settled in 1833 about 3 miles northwest of Madison, where
their son was born and raised. They were married Dec 9, 1833 in Shelby Co., KY, prior to
settling in Missouri.
This family appears to have originated from Shelby County, Kentucky. Other related surnames
are EVANS, SWINNEY, ABERNATHY and to Monroe DAVIS, his wife was Sarah MCHENRY and they married
abt 1865.

Debra L. Burton Sep 26 1999 I am interested in connecting with anyone who are researching these surnames: BROWN, BURTON, SHEPHERD. The Shepherd part of my family came to Paris, Monroe Co. MO in 1845. George and Catherine Shepherd came from Bourbon County, Kentucky, along with their family, which included their daughter Rebecca Shepherd (my g-g-g grandmother, b. Sept 28, 1827; d. Aug. 9, 1925). Two years later, in 1847, Rebecca Shepherd married John William Brown (my g-g-g grandfather, b. June 6, 1823; d. Jan 14, 1900), who had moved to Paris from Mercer County, Kentucky with his parents, Frederick and Eady Riley Brown. John William and Rebecca Shepherd Brown's oldest daughter, Sarah Catherine Brown (b. between 1848 and 1851, in Paris Missouri; d. July 01, 1893 in Paris), married Henry Clay Burton (b. June 27, 1844 in Paris; d. June 25, 1932; son of John and Patsy Schumaker Burton of Paris, MO), on May 05, 1868 in Paris Missouri. John and Patsy were most likely originally from Kentucky like the other two families. After Sarah Catherine Brown Burton died, Henry Clay Burton left Paris and settled in Idaho, along with at least one of his sons, Frederick McNutt Burton (my g-g grandfather, b. March 30, 1872, in Paris). Sarah and Henry had 10 children, of which I have names and most dates. I also have children and dates for John William and Rebecca Shepherd Brown. All of the children in both families were born in Monroe County.

I am trying to find out the names of Sarah's parents. I only have them down as Father Snell, born in Kentucky in 1814 and died 4-16-1884; and Mother Snell, born in Kentucky in 1827 died June 3, 1851 soon after Sarah was born. I was told Sarah was an orphan but if her father died in 1884 this is not true. However I did find a Sarah E.

Kate Aug 5, 1999 I am looking for any information on Samuel D. Rigler and his 2nd wife Emma Hubert Miller Rigler. They were in Woodlawn Twp., Monroe Co on the 1900 census.

I found a short note taped to a page in Rev. M.L. Heifner's journal that leads me to believe he officiated at her funeral. She was entry 89. entry 88 was for Oct. 29, 1902 and entry 90 was for April 1903, which leads me to believe she died between those dates. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

John Stater Jul 12, 1999 John STEWART of Monroe Co. I am looking for information on a Stewart family that lived in Monroe county during and after the Civil War. The "patriarch" was John STEWART, born in 1808 in either Kentucky or Virginia. John's father was also John STEWART, born 1782 in Virginia. John Jr. was married to Melinda WOODS. This was his second marriage. From his first wife he had several children, including Hugh STEWART, who served as a captain in the CSA during the Civil War. Some of the children from his second marriage include Franklin STEWART (b. 1860), Henry Clay STEWART and Sterling Price STEWART. Most of the boys were hell-raisers, who always carried side-arms. At times they claimed to have killed people, and from some of the stories I've heard, that might indeed be true. Franklin later moved to Nodaway Co. Missouri, and his descendants lived in Daviess Co.Mo. I would appreciate any leads to where John or his father were born, who John STEWART Sr.'s parents might have been, or the identity of John STEWART Jr's first wife. Thanks!

Dave Miller Apr 30 1999 I am concerned McKamey Cemetery about the McKamey Cemetery which is located on Route A which runs east from Highway 15 and dead ends on a gravel road at a corner that was the site of the old McKamey Schoolhouse. The cemetery is about three quarters of a mile west of that corner. It has been mistreated and I was told a former resident of the nearby farmhouse used some of the stones for stepping stones. I don't know what happened to them. A few years ago I propped some of the stones up when looking for records of ancestors, but the stones are heavy and my wife and I could not do much. We live out of state. The cemetery is in disrepair and I wonder if someone is willing to give it some attention.

Rev. Marion L. Putnam Mar 26 1999
John A. Putnam is supposed to have bought 40 acres north of Paris when he returned from a failed move to Canada. Two bad crop years. I think the purchase would have had to have been about 1910. He died I think some time between Oct 7, 1910 and Nov. 1912. Any information on Him would be greatly appreciated. He was my grandfather. His wife was Ruth Ellen Holmes Putnam. Grandfather is reported to have had 13 children but I only know of 12 of them.
Rev. Marion L. Putnam May God's blessing follow you always.

Rev. Marion L. Putnam Jan 21 1999 3 FUNERALS IN 4 WEEKS I have been informed that There were 3 funerals in 4 weeks in the William Snyder family. Bear with me as I tell a short story. In 1901 or 1902 On a train going from Howell Co.,MO to Monroe County, My grandmother was large with my mother. The only thing I can think of that would have her on such a hard trip, Especially with a sick Daughter of 3, is a death in the family. I believe this was William Snyder/Snider, My grandmother's sister Minnie was Caring for Olivia Fay the sick daughter. As Minnie walked the train aisle carrying the child, Olivia Fay raised her head from Minnie's shoulder and said, "Minnie, Momma, I'm climbing the golden stairs." She laid her head over and died. If my grandmother was going to her father's funeral, then William Snyder and Olivia Fay Kysor make up two of the three Funerals that I have been informed by a Professional Genealogist took place within 4 weeks. If anyone can get my great-grandfather's obit I would be grateful. I just cannot afford to hire a professional Genealogist. My fixed budget is very fixed. My mother OPAL FERN KYSOR, was born in Monroe City on June 27, 1902. The funerals would have to have been within a nine month period preceding that date.
