I have been told that there is a Bible record showing Aaron BARNES, of Butler County, Ohio was the parent of Jonathan and Samuel BARNES, of Mercer County. Does anyone have that record? I would appreciate a copy. I will share information on STANTURF and STUDEBAKER families, also of Mercer County.

My grandfather, John Nelson Briney, owned a cafe in Princeton, MO, in 1933. I'm wondering if anybody remembers the cafe. I believe it was near a gas station. Don't know how large Princeton was back then, but don't believe the cafe had a name, just a sign showing the word "Cafe". I'd like to find out where the cafe was located. Is there a census I can check for that year? I do have a photo of the cafe, but will have to submit it later. Thank you.

I am looking for the father and mother of Eliza Jane Clementine BRYAN JUDD, born 10 Apr 1877 in Ravanna, Mercer Co., MO. Eliza was married 13 May 1891, to Heman William "Bill" JUDD, Jr. of Alton, Oregon Co., MO.

Her grandfather as shown in the 1880 census is Benj. A. BRYAN of Ravanna, Mercer Co., MO. Her death certificate in 1959, states only: Father "Unknown BRYAN" & Mother "Amanda Unknown".

Benj. A. BRYAN had a daughter named Amanda C. BRYAN born 1859. We find no record of Amanda C. being married or having children.

Any information that can shed light on this family and/or their spouses would be appreciated.

I am looking for a SEYMOUR / OXFORD family. My gg grandfather was James Harvey "Harve" EASTIN who married Sarah Ellen "Ella" SEYMOUR according to Harve's obit. However, in my great grandfather's obit, Ella is listed as Sarah Ellen "Ella" OXFORD. My grandmother remembers a "Grandma SEYMOUR" who was a very old shriveled-up old lady who took care of Ella when she was growing up. Apparently, Ella was born an illegitimate child. Her mother later married an "OXFORD" as I have been told. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
