I have an interest in the Gentrys; Ellis';and the Brittains
in Nodaway early history They came from the Carolina supposedly
together and should be descendents of Allen Gentry and Sarah (Sally)
Brittain.
Also on the other side of my line I have a Heddrick
connection moving from the Carolinas to Illinois about 1835. A
Thomas Hampton Davis Married Nancy Evoline Heddrick. Some of the
Heddricks moved to Missouri supposedly. The original Mr.Heddrick is
said to have lived to be 103.
Does any of this fit any of your names?
regards and thank you for any feedback.

From Pat: These people have written about
burials in the Cain Cemetery. I have a copy of the Cain cemetery that I
did and one that the county group did later, both of us list only the
one tombstone in Cain cemetery for Cordill. James D. son of J. & V.
Cordill, died Jan 18, 1868 11 months and 10days. Isom Cordill and a
couple of his daughters are on the county list as buried without
tombstones. Can anyone produce obits or any evidence about whether
these people are buried in the Cain Cemetery?? Pat
Dear Pat, Regarding the Cain Cemetery, I haven't tried finding it
yet but was told that it is in someone's field! There should be
quite a number of the "Cordill Clan" buried in that cemetery such as:
1. James Cordill, son of Wm. (brother to Isom & John) Jul 1830-1 Dec 1886 2. Elizabeth Cordill Hand, daughter of Wm. Cordill Mar 1827-6 Jan 1909 3. Nancy Ann Cordill Cordill, daughter of Wm. Cordill 30 Mar 1832-19 Aug 1910 4. Rufus Morgan Cordill 16 Feb 1823-9 Aug 1911 5. Melvina Hand Malone, daughter of Eliz. Cordill Hand 1855-8 Mar 1885 6. Manerva Hand Shell, daughter of Eliz. Cordill Hand 1863-May 1888 7. William Cordill, brother to Isom and John 8. Isom Cordill And there are probably more, but don't know about them!! I, too, was hoping to find headstones of these people. Must close for now. Marilyn ~~~letter from Monica about these graves also:

Hi Pat
My name is Margaret Greer and I
live near Liverpool in England.
My great grandmother's brother
Joseph Close emigrated to US in 1870 and settled in Dale, Atchison
after his marriage in 1876. He returned to England after the
death of his wife Hannah Winter Close in 1910 and is buried in
Westmorland, England
He raised his family of 6
children in Dale and it appears that some of his children and
grandchildren remained in Atchison and surrounding counties until they
died.
I have letters describing
their day to day lives between 1910 and 1914 in Dale and Skidmore,
Nodaway Co.
I'm very keen to find Joseph's
descendants in US.
Someone on the Rootsweb
MOATCHISON mailing list sent me the following extracts from the 'Gone
but not forgotten' book and I'm wondering if any of your
volunteers has access to obituary notices for the later deaths *
which could lead me to their living families
In Pleasant Ridge Cemetery, Clark
Township (Section 26, Township 64, Range
40), which is a mile and a half southeast of Fairfax, Atchison County, Missouri, there are: Howard Cecil Close - b. Feb. 27, 1913 - d. May 22, 1919 - age 6 yr - son of Jarvis H. & Lena Brunk Close Jarvis H. Close - b. 1882 - d. Nov. 26, 1918 - w. Lena Brunk Close *Lena Brunk Close - b. Jan 12, 1882 - d. Jan 5, 1963 - h. Jarvis H. Close - dau. of Henry Brunk In Walkup Grove Cemetery, Dale Township (Section 35, Township 64, Range 39), which is 7 miles east and 1 mile south of Fairfax, Atchison County, Missouri, there are: An unmarked grave on the Joseph Close lot Beatrice H. Close - b. Sept 30, 1878 - d. July 21, 1934 - age 56 yr - h. Charles William Close - dau. of Edward & Jane Tyson Huggins Charles Ernest Close - b. Jan. 21, 1915 - d. Apr. 12, 1918 *Charles William Close - b. 1885 - d. May 29, 1966 - age 80 yr - w. Beatrice H. Huggins - son of Anthony & Anna Lord Close Charles William is the son of Joseph Close's brother Anthony who returned to England in 1896 and died in 1900. It appears that Charles stayed in the US with his relatives whereas his US born brother and sister are living with their mother in England on the 1901 census and died in the UK Hanna Winter Close - b. 1852 - d. 1910 - h. Joseph Close (buried in England) Infant Close - d. 1885 - buried on the Joseph & Hanna Winter Close lot I've also found deaths of the following who were Joseph and
Hannah's daughter in law and grandchildren:
Hattie Mae Lawrence Close died April 2 1960 at Fairfax and is
buried at the Tharp Memorial cemetery, Holt Co
Sarah Evelyn Close ( New) died Jan 23 1994 at Fairfax and
buried at Tharp
Lawrence Richard Close ( "Beany") died July 24 1992 at
Maryville, Nodaway Co and buried at Quitman cemetery, Atchison Co. He
married Edna Graves in 1936.
I'm happy to pay any costs involved and would appreciate any
help you can give me.
Many regards

I am looking for Smiths
from New York, my Nodaway ancestors are Emory Smith and son
Fremont found in the 1870 census and the information in that census is
all I have to work with....so I'm hoping to find a clue somewhere in
the neighborhood. (Fremont Smith married Eve Ann Sharp on Dec 6
in 1882 at Quitman Missouri...she was the daughter of Daniel
Sharp born in 1825 in Orange Co North Carolina, he is found in the 1860
census of Nodaway. Eve Ann's brother Monroe married Fremont's sister
Delphena) I've had good luck researching Sharps but my Smiths are a
rock solid brick wall. Your efforts on my behalf are sincerely
appreciated, Leah Tourond : ltourond@nqis.ca |

Dear
Pat-- This is regarding the "Nodaway County Missouri Marriages (incomplete)" information I found at <.rootsweb.com/~monodawa/marriages/> in August 2004. One of the listed marriages is Thomas Bohannan & Gracy Wood,09 May 1860. Based on notes I have from conversations and correspondence among Bohannon relatives (including Thomas' granddaughter) in 1923-32, and what I have found in recent searches of Missouri census records, it appears that Thomas actually married Gracy Ann Good on the date you give (or one day later). Since I am working from indirect evidence and 2nd-hand information rather than primary records, I could be wrong.Below are 6 citations that together support the idea that Gracie's maiden name was "Good." [1] letter: Grace Bohannan Durrett to [Margaret (Jones) Conley?] [Source#8], approx. 1932 with [later?] notes by Margaret A pencil note on the letter shows "Gracy Ann Good" as (1) the wife of Thomas Bohannan; and (2) the mother of William Tilman Bohannan. [Grace Bohannan Durrett was a/the child of William Tilman Bohannan. I have only the part of Grace's letter that Margaret kept so I don't know for sure that the letter was addressed to Margaret.] [2] letter: Mrs. Edward D. [Margaret Jones] Conley to Miss Agnes Lee Smith [Source#7], 22 August 1932 with [later?] notes by Margaret. The letter describes "Gracy Ann" as (1) the wife of Thomas B; and (2) the mother of William Tillman Bohannan. [I have Margaret's carbon copy of the letter.] [3] census: 1850 US, Missouri, Nodaway cnty, [image at <freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~mackley/Mo1850Jpegs/Nodaway/Nodaway50__P371.jpg>, 6 Sep 2004]. The census page shows that "Gracy A Good" (age 12) and Samuel (16), Richard (14), Charles (11), William (8), & Joseph (6) Good were living with Samuel (38, household head), Grace (35), Thomas (8), Nathan (6), & Emily J (4) Roberts, and John Marion (11), in Nodaway cnty, Missouri. [4] census: 1860 US, Missouri, Nodaway cnty, pg 59, [microfilm #803637, at LDS Family History Center, Oakland, CA, 19 Aug 2004]. The census page shows that"Gracy Bohanan" (age 22) was living with Thomas Bohanan (24, household head), near the Pertilla Bohanan and Perdine Bohanan families, at Graham, Nodaway cnty, Missouri. [5] census: 1870 US, Missouri, Nodaway cnty, Series M593, Roll 795, pg 551 [image at <persi.heritagequestonline.com>, 11 Oct 2004]. The census page shows that "Grace A Bohannon" (age 30, household head) was living with William T Bohannon (6) & William S Good (27), in Hughs twp, Nodaway cnty, Missouri. [6] census: 1880 US, Missouri, Nodaway cnty, Hughs tnshp, p 44A, [transcript of Fam Hist Lib film #1254706 at <www.familysearch.org>, 25 Aug 2004]. The transcript says that "Gracie Bohanan" (age 40, household head) was living with her son (William T Bohannon, 16) & her brother (William S Good, 35), in Hughs twp, Nodaway cnty, Missouri. Sincerely, Katherine Pyle Berkeley, CA (kpyle@sonic.net) [a great-great-granddaughter of Perdine Bohanan (who was a sibling of Thomas, Pertilla, & Tilman Bohanan, & Prissilla Bohanan Brown) |
