ADAMS/DANIELS/FIFER A obituary notice in Augusta County, Virginia, shows that my gg-grandmother, Elizabeth DANIELS ADAMS, died in Scotland County on 16 Sep 1851 of Cholera. It listed her age as 39. She was the wife of Ezekiel ADAMS. We assumed she was also buried in Scotland County. The same obituary notice in Augusta County, Virginia, shows that Mary DANIELS FIFER, died on 20 Dec 1851 of Cholera in Scotland County. It listed her age as 44. She was the sister of Elizabeth DANIELS ADAMS and the wife of John FIFER. We assumed she was also buried in Scotland County. I am interested in finding more information (cemetery, land deeds, etc.) on these two sisters, and their families.

Saunders and Nancy Jane Wolgamott. She is the daug. of A. Endimyon Hall and Sarah Hale. Zenus and Lydia had at least 5 children, one of which died in just a few months (StellaG. Saunders--27 Feb. 1870 -13 Sep 1870)--buried Union Town Cem, Kilwinning. I did not go to this cemetery when I was there. I did locate Hall graveyeard, Hall school house and Endimyon's house and obituary. I am trying to determine where Zenus and Lydia Saunders died or anything about what happened to Lydia . I assume they must have moved out of state somewhere.They had children: Don C. Saunders, born about 1869, Stella G. prev. mentioned, Louis H. born about 1873 Scotland Co. Mo., Robert R., born about 1876 Scotland Co. Missouri and Hettie B. Saunders, born about 1879 in Scotland Co. Missouri. I lose this famiy after 1880 census. Could not locate them in 1900 nor 1920 census.I am trying to locate descendants of Zenus Wm Saunders and Lydia Ellen Hall Saunders. So if you haveknowledge of the marriages of any of their children, Don C., Louis H., Robert R. or Hettie B. Saunders, that would be extremely helpful to me.

My g-g-g-g-grandfather, Joseph Scott Matlick (1782-1864) is said to have migrated from Preston County, Virginia (now W. Va.) to Scotland County, Mo., in 1850. With him were his wife, Sarah Ervin Matlick, and a number of sons, including Samuel, Josiah, Joseph, Zachariah and Elijah. A number of his grandsons were said to have fought in the Civil War. I don't know when or where Joseph or Sarah died, other than a year (1864) for Joseph. This information from a 1914 county history of Preston County, W. Va., where another son, John (my ancestor) stayed. Joseph was born in New Jersey, came to Pennsylvania around 1798, then to Preston, then to Missouri. Would like to prove his and his wife's parentage, and find out when they died. Any information or knowledge of this family is appreciated. Are there death records in Scotland county that might give parents' names or birthplaces? Has the 1860 census been transcribed? Did Joseph or Sarah have a will or other estate record? Are there any cemetery indexes or newspaper obituary files that might shed light on this? Thank you!

There were several other RAINE families that preceded William RAINE's family to MO. William's Wife was Nancy PAWLEY. They had 4 children, Laura Ann, James Pawley, Joseph Shelton, and John Wesley. William died in May of 1852. His wife remarried by April of 1853. She married a man by the name of Henry Dickenson TULL. He was a widower with 10 children. I just came into possesion of copies of letters from Nancy to her family in KY, they span from 1851 to 1871. I am interested in any information on this family, as Nancy had a hard life. In late 1854 there were letters that stated that Nancy's children were having a difficult time with their new family and by August of 1856, they had been separated and were living with other families. The boys were all with members of the RAINE family and Laura Ann was with a family by the name of DALE (Dail?).
My main inquiry is -- What bacame of Laura Ann. The letter of August 13, 1865, says that she had married a fine man, (no name listed) moved to Memphis and had 2 daughters by the names of Nancy Elizabeth and Margaret Ann. The final letter dated, July 1871 says she had moved to Nevada. My Great-Grandfather Joseph Shelton and his brother James Pawley are buried less the 50 miles from my home. I'd really like to figure out who Laura Ann married and if she really ended up in Northern Nevada, as I have no record of her. Note: Other RAINE family members in MO, Joseph Shelton RAINE (William's father), Philip RAINE (William's cousin), George &38; James RAINE (William's brother's, I believe). I'd appreciate any assistance you might be able to offer. Thank you very much for any help you might offer.

RAYBURN
I am researching James RAYBURN. I don't have his birth and death dates, but I know that he married Rebecca WELLS, and that on April 28, 1843, in Scotland County, Missouri, they had a baby girl named Mary Jane RAYBURN. Mary later married Lester Dockum in Clark county where she lived the rest of her life and died on September 17, 1923. Please let me know if you have any information. Thanks in advance.

RHODES
I would like to correspond/share information with those who research the RHODES name...pioneers of Scotland County. My association to the RHODES names is through the marriage of one Robert W. RHODES b 1827-1828 MO/TN. I believe he might be the son of George W. and Nancy RHODES who are interred in Campground Cumberland Presbyterian Church Cemetery, Vest Twp, Scotland co., MO.

Robert married 11 Apr 1852 one Harriet PRIME b 1832 Eng d ca Jul 1860. Harriet is buried in the PRIME row of Downing City Cemetery, Downing, Schuyler Co., MO. They had four sons prior to Harriet's death, viz., Samuel b Dec 1855 MO, George H(enry) b 1855-1856 MO, James b 1857-1858 MO, and J. S. RHODES (perhaps John) b 1859-1860.

I think I have followed Samuel to Clark Co., WA, and James from Vernon Co., MO, to Multnomah Co., OR, to Clark Co., WA; with James's son Revard Michael RHODES b 10 Aug 1913 MO, d 31 Jul 1988 Nehalem, Tillamook Co., OR.

I wonder if the young J. S./John is one and the same John Thomas RHODES who married Dovey Etta LAWS and Elizabeth SLAVIN. Or is it two different men?

I am eager to correspond with RHODES distant cousin. The abovementioned Harriet PRIME is the eldest sibling of my great-great-grandfather Henry PRIME, son and grandson of pioneering English immigrants, Henry and James, respectively, who are part of Downing, Missouri's, early history.
Thanks for reading.

SALISBURY
I'm looking for information regarding Joseph Jackson Salisbury, born 1829 in Ohio, I think, and his brother John, born 1831.  In the 1850 census they are in Scotland County, MO, living in the household of Daniel Morris and his wife Mary. Was Mary their mother who had remarried after becoming a widow? Did they just work there as hired hands? Who were their parents and siblings? Joseph Jackson was in the Civil War as was his brother John.  They were in the Ohio Volunteer 123rd regiment from Huron County. Why did they not join in MO? Joseph married Mary Susan Button in 1856 in Scotland County, MO, and he died in 1867. He was my grandfather's grandfather. I've been trying for years to track this family back further. HELP!
Yes, I've sent to NARA for pension records, but I've been told there are "lots" of files, but can't get them to send me copies. Any info or suggestions will be appreciated.

STIDGER/HAMPTON
My gr grandmother, Clara (STIDGER) HAMPTON, was widowed in Jefferson Co. Iowa in 1882. Her name disappeared from the records of Jefferson Co. in latter part of 1883. Her brother, Harmon P. STIDGER, also lived in Jefferson Co. IA for awhile and then went to Van Buren Co. Iowa where his family was shown on census records until 1900. After that time, their names were gone from Van Buren Co. Because Scotland Co. MO is across the southern border of Van Buren Co. IA., I would like to know if anyone has run across either of these two surnames: STIDGER or HAMPTON. Harmon STIDGER was a "Plasterer" and out of work a good deal of the time, according to census records. His wife's name: Kate, they were living in Van Buren Co. IA on 1900 census with children: John, 19, Daisy, 16 and Katy 9 yrs. old. Harmon was 45 yrs. old at the time and his wife, Cathrine, 44. I've been unable to find Clara HAMPTON anywhere after he husband Levi died in Fairfield, IA in Feb. 1882. She gave up her two daughters (ages 5 and less than one yr.) for adoption in about 1883......she also had a son, Edward, (b) 1879) but I don't know what happened to him. Clara STIDGER HAMPTON was born abt. 1857 or 1858 in Ohio and in her 20's when she was widowed. I believe she probably remarried, but no record has been found in Iowa. I'd appreciate knowing if her name appears in any marriage records of Scotland Co. MO. If anyone has found either HAMPTON or STIDGER in their Scotland Co. MO research, I'd be most grateful to know the particulars. Thanks.
