Looking for descendents of Rosco and Nellie (SIEFKES) HAMMERSLEY. Nellie's parents were Albert and Eliza (BIXLER) SEIFKES. They moved from Indiana to the Nevada, MO area in the early 1880's with her father, Adam BIXLER. Albert may have died before 1900 since he is not listed in the 1900 census and Eliza was living with Roscoe and Nellie at this time. The 1920 census has Eliza living alone at 314 N. Clay St. in Nevada, MO. Adam BIXLER was my gg grandfather and I would really like to know about this branch of my family.

During research of my great grandfather, Ava E Page of Bates Co., Mo, I found that he was enumerated with the family of A.G. Anderson in the 1860 Federal Census of Nevada, Vernon Co., Mo. Ava E. Page was then 25 and a school teacher who owned land at the time in adjacent Bates County but could not occupy it because of the Border Wars.
Can anyone offer any insight about A.G. Anderson and perhaps my Ava E. Page? Do you know if A.G. Anderson served during the Civil War? If so, in which unit and in what capacity?
