Other Hughes families listed in 1840 Pulaski group were: JOSEPH - 217 Pulaski '40 (male b. 1770-1780, alone). Listed also on 178 Crawford '30 and 188 Pulaski '50. Census reports he was b. c1790 in North Carolina. King (p 515) defines him as a bro. of old William. He d. single. Thomas Johnson also was listed on p. 217. Moved to Maries in 1818.
WILLIAM HUGHES? (HAUGHS?) (10001-10001). Listed on 219 Pulaski 10 in the Robinson-Musgrave-McElroy neighborhood. No further record, tho one William Hughes m. Bathiar Newberry in Crawford Co. Mo. in 1835. (Woodruff: Crawford Marriages, p. 13. ) correction No. 170

WISEMAN - On the Wiseman family: Brothers Albert G. Wiseman your line (I imagine) were listed in 1840 Pulaski Census study group.
Albert G. Wiseman was listed on 223 Pulaski '40 (000011-203001) and again on 180 Pulaski '50, in which entry he was reported b. N.C. c1804. Birthplace of ch. indicates residency in Tn. in c1831. Poss. dau. Mary America Wiseman b. Knox Co. Tenn. 1823, says Goodspeed, p. 1109. In the 1840 Surname Index many of you bought from me, I see Albert was given the wrong family number. Change "950”–to read "754," please. Albert made entry in Maries in 1834. says Goody p. 590.
According to Mr. King, the Wiseman, Copeland, and Taff fams moved to Mo. from East Tennessee. I can add the 1830 census information to the picture viz:
On my census listings, read 'page number,' 'county,' and 'year.') Albert G. Wiseman: 89 Monroe, '30 (001010001-31001), near Isaac Whitinburg, Turner Climate, and Abraham Whitinburg, who also came to 1840 Pulaski.
Oliver Davenport Wiseman ("Porty”); 147 McMinn '30 (001011-120001). I have not located him in census of 1840 or later. Same with James Wiseman of 232 Pulaski '40 - no info of whereabouts in 1850 tho a poss. son James was listed in Mo. on 673 Camden '50, b. Tn. c1829. Porty's neighbors in 1830 McMinn were:
William Copeland (212001-011001), Joseph Copeland (00001-20001001), Peter Taff (000110001-01211), all on p. 147, and familiar family names Rowden, Lawson, Elder, Vinzant/Vincent. Carnes, Rodgers, Fitzgerald (to Laclede 1852); Moreland, Gresham, Forester, Coffey, Cansler, Boone, and Moss. See McMinn's 1830 census pp 136 to 159.
Nancy Wiseman, b. N.C. c1797, lived with Wm. Rowden fam. on 186 Pulaski '50.
In the 1790 N.C. Census, this family name appears in only three counties: 1) p. 109, Burke Co.; nearby is Martin Devenport; 2) p. 167, Rockingham Co.; 3) p. 177, Rowan County, wherein is listed one James Wiseman. I can't guess which of these fams might have been connected to our Missourians.
We found only three apparent Wiseman listings in 1790 N.C. Census. But, let it be remembered that this particular census is notoriously incomplete. Through the years lotta folks have had an idea that the Government actually might be more interested in men of military age than pure numbers, or planned a new tax—the result was that many families, though definitely residing in N.C. during 1790, do not appear in its Federal Census! As I recall, Pres. Washington himself complained of its inadequacies.
Mrs. Alvaretta K. Register's State Census of N.C., 1784-1787' DOES NOT include the entire State, I was to learn only after purchase. Wayne County, in which listings the Musgrave families should have been found, was omitted without explanation. Ditto Rowan, where the Stockstills were. Others not included are Anson, Beaufort, Brunswick, Craven, Cumberland, Guilford, Hertford, Lincoln, Mecklenburg, Moore, Orange, Randolph, Rockingham, Rutherford, and Wake Counties.
Point is. be aware that even if you come up empty, your family could still have been there, and perhaps further checking in area courthouses is called for. (Yes, ending a sentence with a preposition is a practice up with which I should not put).

COPELAND - TAFF - MOSS - ROBERSON - BADE - BLANTON SEWELL - SAMPLE
(Ref. S. the Past, Feb. 15, '84 in Maries Co. Gazette-Adviser)
My ancestors were William Copeland, who m. Martha Taff; and their son, Davis Copeland, who m. Sybilla Moss; and their son, Henderson Copeland, who m. Martha Lucinda Roberson, whose daughter was my mother, Eunie Copeland. My father was Lewis Henry Bade. Searching for further info.
Recently I located about one-half dozen Taff graves at the Crismon Cem. near Junction of Highway 42-133 in Maries Co., Mo., my home county. There are Copelands buried in sites in Maries, Phelps and Osage Co's. but I have not yet located the burial place of William Copeland and his son Davis.
Davis Copeland m. Sybilla Moss: Maries Co: census lists Sybilla as the wife of William Moss. He d. about Jan. 1, 1851. Moss had come to Mo. after his first wife and one dau. died. He came here in 1830's with dau. Salina. b. Tn. c1833.
We assume that after Moss died, Sybilla married Davis Copeland, my great-grandfather. We can't locate her maiden name. My grandmother Copeland spoke of her as "Sibie'' and I have a small sampler that she made with S.C. initials, so we believe that Sybilla or Sybil Moss was Davis Copeland's wife. Henderson, son of Davis, was b. July 24, 1862; Davis Copeland and Sybilla Moss could have m. between 1851 and that time.
I assume you have King's Maries County History. I use it a lot, but, of course, it doesn't always have the correct information...
Leonard L. Bade, Rt. 2, Box 506. Rolla, Mo. 65401.
REPLY: So happy to hear from you. as our ancestors ran the same ridges down in Tennessee, it appears. See my reply to Mrs. Lois Malone's letter in previous column. Do you agree with me that your William Copeland is listed on p. 147 of McMinn's 1830 census (212001-011000?
No lack of Moss fams in either McMinn Co. or East Tenn. in general, says 1830 census. In McMinn are Edward. p. 159; Eli,. p. 193; John, p. 175; and William W., p. 148— the latter you note, quite near the Copeland fams. on p. 147. It's likely the fams. Were acquainted, then, before coming to Missouri.
An exhaustive search of records of McMinn, Monroe, Blount, Rhea and Roane Counties is indicated; there are, however, Moss fams. scattered up and down through all these valleys; Sullivan Co. (2); Blount Co. (1); Hamilton Co. (3); Roane Co. (1); Claibone (3); and Bledsoe (1). There MAY BE Moss families still living in that area - try checking telephone hooks and City Directories, available at larger libraries. Same for Copeland, of course.
William Copeland, Sr. was listed on p. 856 of Osage Co., Mo. 1850 census, which reports him born in Tenn. in c1796. King reports his d. as 1862 at Stony Point. His bros., according to King. p. 329f and 351f, were John, b. Tn. c1795, who m. Sewell sisters; Joseph Copeland (of 1830 McMinn, prob.); and Solomon Copeland, Sr., b. JEFFERSON Co., Tenn. in 1804, who m. twice. First wife d. Tenn.; 2nd wife was Malinda Sample. Solomon is on 856 Osage '5O and 542 Maries '60.
Sarah Copeland, sister of Wm. Copeland, Sr., was the wife of 1st ( ) Taff. then Ezekiel Blanton. Ezekiel, b. Ky. c1807, was listed on 855 Osage '50. Sarah, his wife, is reported born in Tn. in c1805. Mr. Blanton poss. came from East Tenn. also -- might be listed on 102 Monroe '30. There's a Vincent Blanton in same county, but I can't identify him.
In John Copeland's household (617 Maries '60) resided one Catherine Sewell. b. Va. c1777, poss. Anna's mother.
Eliz. Yarnell Copeland m. Chas. W. Vinson in 1850, according to Goodspeed's Hist. of Hamilton Co., Tenn., p. 209.
WISDOM - EATON
Wish to learn pars. of Harriet Wisdom, b. Mo. c1840. Ann. her sister, m. ( ) Eaton. Her bros. were Miller, Jeff, and Bert. Miller Wisdom, or H. M. Wisdom, was b. c1829 in Mo., while his pars. were from Virginia (this from 1880 Kansas census where he lived by then). In the same census, Harriet lists her parents as from Kentucky.
Mrs. Louise Hawthorne, 2122 Kolmyia. West Bloomfield, MI 48033.
REPLY: Best source of Wisdom wisdom (I couldn't resist, sorry) is Mrs. Jack Powell, Box 657, Quanah, Texas 79252. Her lines were in Cumberland and Barren Cos., Ky. and Lawrence Co. Tn. as well as Camden Co., Mo. Your family should be listed in Index of 1830 Census of Mo. available in many gene libraries. My cardex shows a John and a Pollard Wisdom in 1830 Crawford Co., Mo., p. 171 and 181. Over in 1830 Boone census are listed these same two—John and Pollard Wisdom—but the ages seem different. Search entire 1830 Mo. census. then narrow the evidence through county records.
Two Wisdom fams. were in 1840 Pulaski: William P., b. Ky. c1807, was listed on 1830 Lawrence Co., Tn. census, p. 309, 229 Pulaski '40, then 273 Laclede '5O. Michael S. Wisdom was on 229 Pulaski '40 but moved to Barry Co., Mo. by 1850, p. 384. Michael was b. Ky. c1814. Pollard Wisdom, Sr. was b. N.C. c1780.

CARNES - DAVIS
I am the great-granddaughter of Matilda Carnes Berry b. 1829, and John Jehu Berry. Matilda's father, Jehu Carnes. and her grandfather. Josiah Carnes. are mentioned in your article published in the Maries Co. Gazette-Adviser of Feb. 15, 1984.
King's Hist. of Maries says the Carnes family came to Mo. from Tenn.; I'm very grateful to know the counties they came from and hope one day to visit there. King reports that Josiah was b. in Virginia, where, exactly?
Searching for country of origin for the Boyse or Boyce family. John Arthur Boyse, b. 1784, m. an Osage Indian girl. He was my mother's great-grandfather.
William and Harriet Davis moved to Maries Co. from North Carolina and settled on Spring Creek. not far from Rolla, in the early 1850's. Need pars, N. C. county of origin. Thank you for your interest, and I hope to see more of your articles in the Gazette.
Eliza Bieber. 3049 E. Lombard, Springfield, MO 65802.
REPLY: One John Berry (on 914 Osage '50) was b. Ky. c1804, of an age to be the father of John Jehu Berry.
With the Berry/Barry surname, remember the possibility that the' name may originally have been "Greenberry" or "Littleberry."
REUBEN BERRY was an 1840 Pulaskian, listed on 232 Pulaski '40 (0001001-0000101) Slaves (100000- 010000). Goodspeed p. 290 reports that he was one of Camden Co's. first settlers, in 1827, on the Dry Auglaize (pron. "AW glaze"). He furnished security in estate settlement of George Dell, who d. intestate (without leaving a will) in Pulaski in 1834.
Reuben Berry was b. Ky. c1795 and, was there as late as 1822, says census on 661 Camden '50. His early listing was on 180 Crawford '30; a JOHN Berry was on adjoining page 179 Crawford '30, b. 1810-1820.
Need some details on him, though. Where born in Kentucky? Wife's maiden name? List of ch. and their marriages? Can anyone help? Appreciate it.
CARNES
Josiah Carnes has a special place in "my affections, because he is listed on the SAME PAGE of 1830 Rhea Co. Tn. census as my great-great grandfather, John Vincent. Unfortunately, just as right now I can only guess where in Virginia the Vincents sprang from, so also am I lacking solid Carnes data... Jehu Carnes was b. Va. c1801, says census entry on 891 Osage '50. I have not located Josiah in 1840 or 1850, but his 1830 Rhea Co. Tn. listing defines his birth as 1790-1800. Hold the phone. Something fishy here - how could this Josiah, b. during the decade preceding the birth of Jehu, have been the father?
This Josiah is more probably Jehu's brother, upon closer examination...it needs some detective work. Certainly your search should start in McMinn County. One Nicholas Carnes is on 162 McMinn '30, while one Frederick Carnes is not far away on p. 83 of Monroe Co. Tn. 1830 census. There are only two Carnes/Karns families listed in U.S. Govt "First Census" of Virginia (1782-1785) and both are in FREDERICK County...hmmmm.
Glad you saw the Gazette's article; I had hoped for several more letters from the Maries Co. area, but the Vienna, Mo. newspaper somehow doesn't usually print my address, nor the column's title, despite phone calls...unable to fathom this, I have sent few columns lately. The Springfield Library has a large back-file of these cols.
Also maintaining column files are the Missouri State Archives, Jeff. City; the Mo. State Historical Society (on the U. of Mo. campus. Columbia); the LDS Genealogical Library, Salt Lake City; and the Seattle Main Library.

List of surnames which will appear.
Our Man in Chattanooga Reports Tenn. county name guide
Clarence Vincent's ancestors lived in East Tennessee as early as the 1820's. Here is his approved pronunciation for nine counties whose names are dangerous to guess. Most Tenn. counties' names are obvious; these are the tricky ones:
BLOUNT..." Blunt"
COCKE..."Cock"
LOUDON..."Lowden" (Ow! sound)
MAURY..." Murry"
MEIGS..."Meggs"
RHEÀ..."Ray"
ROANE..."Roan" (one syllable) SEVIER..."Severe" WEAKELY..."Weekly"
Thanks for the help, Mr. Vincent. An effort should always be made to say local names exactly as do the residents of an area; a searcher gambles on alienating himself in an insular locale, without preparation. Some years ago, a nice lady in Portland told me her grandfather was I from "LAKE-teed" County! (Say it "Luh-CLEED," please.)

Charlotte Austin, Rt. 3, Box 116, Strafford, MO 65757 keeps up with "Sharing the Past" at the Springfield Library, where the cols are being put in a scrapbook. She saw Mary Jane Moore's Bible Records, which included several other families, and it set her to writing a fine, long letter which is one of the best received so far. Due to length, we'll print it in three parts.
(Many of my families were in the same places at the same time as Charlotte's; I bet a quarter we're related in some distant fashion.) The Hillhouses came out of South Carolina to Livingstone Co. Ky. to Lawrence Co Tn, thence to Missouri, reported Charlotte. She gives data on 1840 Pulaskians, too, as you'll see. I'll reserve my comments until we get her whole letter printed. dv.
SMELSOR - WORTHEN
Dear Mr. Vincent
Wilson Hillhouse was my great-great-grandfather. He was born in Kentucky on March 22, 1803 and died December 27, 1855. He was on his way home after driving hogs to St. Louis to sell. He must have been close to his home when he died. Because he is buried close to the Gasconade River in Wright County, Missouri —just south of the Laclede County line. This land is known as the Ruben Nobles Farm, it is in Section 24 Township 32 Range 14 Elk Creek Township. Wilson's home was in Section 6 Township 31 Range 13 Montgomery Township. My brother owns this land now.
Wilson Hillhouse married Nancy Montgomery. Nancy was born January 13, 1806 in North Carolina (Probably Buncombe County).She died March 10, 1845 and is buried in the same cemetery as Wilson. I have not been to this cemetery, but I have been told that there are four graves there. After Nancy's death, Wilson married Mary Ann Moore. She was a daughter of James Moore, Sr. (#523 1850 Wright County, Mo.) Mary Ann Moore was married to a Bohannan before she married Wilson Hillhouse. But I cannot find any other information about her first husband; After Wilson died Mary Ann (Moore-Bohannon) married Sam Rose. He was a widower with four children. Mary Ann Moore was born c1825 and died December 7, 1907. She was buried in the Veasman family plot in the Williams Cemetery not far from Brinktown, Maries County, Missouri. Sam Rose was killed March 11, 1864 by bushwhackers. After Sam's death Mary Ann took his children and her daughter by Wilson Hillhouse, and moved to Maries County. I do not know why she moved there.
Children of Wilson and Nancy (Montgomery) Hillhouse: Sarah, b. 10 Mar 1832, d. 5 Jan 1904, m. Hiram Young; John, b. 29 Jan 1835, d. 18 Aug 1861, Never Married; Newton, b. 9 Oct 1838, d. 2 Feb 1917, m. Charlotte Young; Andrew, b. 27 Feb 1841, d. ?, m. ?; Frances Jane, b. 11 Dec 1843, d. 6 Aug 1925, m. William Bohannan, 'Jr.
Child of Wilson and Mary Ann (Moore-Bohannan) Hillhouse: Martha Ann, b. 13 Feb 1851, d. 1925, m. Frederick Veasman.
Nancy Montgomery was a daughter of John and Sarah (Moore) Montgomery. And a sister of Jefferson, Robert, John, William, Jesse and Easter Ann. Giles County, Tennessee 1850 Census:897-939; Jesse Montgomery, 27, TN: Ann Blackard. 59, NC; Sarah Montgomery, 87, Cyntha A. Montgomery, 18, Elizabeth M. Blackard, 16, A.F. Blackard, 14.

Booker Bailey married Jane Nelson 17 Dec 1845 by Jacob Springer, J.P. Robert Nelson married Izabella White 26 Feb 1853.
Milus M. Green married Julia Harland 31 Dec 1850.
Jane Nelson is Marietta Jane (Montgomery) Nelson. This information came from THE GENEALOGICAL HELPER Vol 30, #5, Sept. 1976, page 482 Add #N 11.
I believe Sarah Montgomery is the Miss Moore that was the wife of John. Montgomery referred to in Goodspeed's History Of Wright County, Missouri page 1188:
Prof. Thomas J. Montgomerie. Son of Jefferson and Nancy E. (Anderson) Montgomerie.
"The paternal grandfather of our subject, John Montgomerie, was a native of Ireland, and after immigration to America located in North Carolina. The paternal grandmother was a Moore, and died in Tennessee at the age of one hundred and four years."
Nancy (Montgomery) Hillhouse named her first daughter Sarah. Jefferson and Robert Montgomery named their second daughters Sarah. I think this Sarah Montgomery, age 102, Lawrence County, Tennessee 1860 Census is the wife of John Montgomery and the mother of Nancy (Montgomery) Hillhouse.
Now to the WILLIAM MOORE -ELIZABETH ANN [ ] MOORE BIBLE. Who was Elizabeth Ann ( ) Moore-Sprague-Hart? What relation was she or William to Jefferson Montgomery? (You just don't usually put someone's family record in your Bible unless they are related.
Now for the Youngs: Fielding Young born August 23, 1828 was a son of William Fielding Young and Mary (Young) Young. Fielding married Margaret Evoline Montgomery a daughter of Jefferson and Nancy Evoline (Anderson) Montgomery. Fielding Young is listed in his father's family in the 1850 Wright County, Missouri #121. He died about 1858 and Margaret Evoline is listed in the William Fielding Young family in the 1860 Wright County, Mo. census.
#69. Edward. Benton Young is also listed with his mother. Evidently sometime after 1860 Margaret Evoline (Montgomery) Young married a Hawkins.
Back to the Hillhouse Family. Wilson Hillhouse was a son of John and Bethia (Sharp) Hillhouse. In the book A GENEALOGY OF THE HILLHOUSE-DICKEY FAMILIES 1639‑1972 by Bessie Hillhouse Young and Ruth Mackey Young, the family of John and Bethia (Sharp) Hillhouse is listed. The daughter Nancy is listed as having married M. A. Wilcox and lived in Wright County, Missouri. I have looked for them in Wright County and other counties in southwest Missouri and cannot find them. However I have found this marriage in Crawford County, Missouri: Moses Campbell and Nancy Bethiah Hillhouse married July 5, 1830. (Recorded August 25, 1832)
1850 Camden County, Missouri: 304; Campbell, Moses, 56, M, SC; Nancy*, 30, F, TN; Robert, 13, M, MO; James, 8, M, MO; John, 6, M, MO; Andrew, 4, M, MO; Margaret, 3, F, MO; Elvira, 1, F. MO.
*If this is Nancy Bethia (Hillhouse) the age is incorrect. Probably should be 50.
John Hillhouse, son of John and Bethia (Sharp) Hillhouse, is said to have gone to Washington and settled hear Soap Lake. I have not been able to find him near Soap Lake. I have been told that he made three trips by wagon train to Washington from Missouri.
I think John and Bethia (Sharp) Hillhouse came to Missouri.
1830 Crawford County, Missouri Census: Hillhouse, John, 0110001-00001001; Hillhouse, Josiah 00001-30001; Hillhouse, Wilson, 00001-1000.

Mary Jane Davis was the second wife of Gabriel H. Davis. She was a daughter of Isaiah T. and Mary (Moore) Webb.' Mary Jane's' first husband was Nelson Monroe Bohannon. Nelson Monroe Bohannon was a son of William Bohannon, Sr. and Margaret (Odle) Bohannon. I do not think the William Bohannon that is listed on the 1830 Overton Co., TN Census is the William Bohannon that lived in Laclede County, MO.
The reasons I do not think that is the same William Bohannon is:
1. William and Margarets first child was as a girl. 1 0000 1-000 1
2. Enoch Odle is not listed in White County. TN in 1830.
3. GOODSPEED HISTORY OF LACLEDE CO., MO. page 741. I.M. O'DELL "His father, Samuel O'Dell who was of Scotch-Irish descent, and a native of Tennessee, born in the year 1800, was twice married. He immigrated with his first wife (Cynthia Walker) to Illinois in 1830, and after residing in Macoupin County for six years his wife died. Being discouraged by sickness Mr. O'Dell immigrated to Laclede County, Mo., in 1836. ----"
Now I may have talked myself out of that. I have been looking at my Family Group Sheets on the Bohannons. William and Margaret had a daughter and a son born before 1830. Catherine 1827 and Lewis 1829. The third Child Enoch was born in 1831 in TN. Elijah and William, Jr. were born in Macoupin Co., ILL in 1834, and 1836. The last three children were born in MO. James D. 1839, Nelson Monroe c1844 and Margaret R. c1847.
The O'Dell's (Odle) may have moved to Macoupin County, Ill. before the Bohannons came.
In Ruth O'Dell Webb's OVER THE MISTY BLUE HILLS, she states that Enoch O'Dell (Odle) married Catherine Pryor in Greene County, TN. and removed to Ray County, Mo. by 1820.
A. Maxim Coppage, Concord, CA states that Enoch married Sarah Ramsey in White County, TN.
1850 Wright Co., Me. Census; 507 Johnson, David, 20 M KY; Rebecca (Odle) 26 F TN; Sidney G. 2/12 M MO; 508, Odle, Enoch 75 M NC; Mary 67 F KY.

Sidney G. Johnson was in the household with William and Margaret (Odle) Bohannon in 1860 Laclede Co., Mo. #341-768.

A deed dated 22, Nov 1855 in Deed Book T. Page 436 White County, TN Register's Office: William Bohannon, Elijah Bohannon, Lewis Bohannon. William McBride of Laclede County, Missouri sell certain interest in estate of Lewis Bohannon to James J. Bohannon.
The children of Lewis Bohannon were probably:
Sons: James J. Bohannon, Elijah Bohannon. Lewis Bohannon, Jr. and William Bohannon.
Daughters: Lucy, Rebecca McBride, Frankey Hargis, Mary Ann Barnes, Sally Stamps, Betsy Fox, one daughter that may have married a Horn and became the mother of Thomas and Dicey Horn, and another daughter may have been the mother of Pat Williams Henry.

John B. Bohannon evidently is not closely related to the other Bohannon families in Laclede County, Mo. John B. and Elizabeth were in Carroll County, Arkansas in 1855. Her father moved to Carroll County. Arkansas sometime between 1850 and 1855. There are several Bohannon families in Carroll and Madison Counties. Arkansas that moved there from White County, TN.
GOODSPEEDS HISTORY OF PHELPS CO., MO. page 650 mentions a George Bohannon. I think he is of this Carroll and Madison Counties. Arkansas group.
Rebecca and William McBride were in Arkansas in 1846.
Back to the Odle (O'Dell). Elizabeth Richardson (1840 Pulaski) 011000-001001 is said to be a daughter of Enoch Odle.

Who is this second William Bohannon? Could he be the one that was on the 1830 Overton County, TN Census? Or have I made a mistake when I copied this information.

Do you know anything about the Moores in Wright County, MO.? 1have several connections with the Moores. I would like to know if they came from the White County, TN area with the Bohannons and the Odles.Or. did they come from the Lawrence‑Giles Counties TN area, with these, Montgomery, Ballew, Wisdom, Nelson etc. families. Or, are they related to the William Moseley and David H. Wade families that came from Hardin County, TN in the 1850's.

REPLY: You'll want to check past columns for more info on the Montgomery, Hillhouse, Odle, Hickman, and Calton families.
Jonathan Yates, of 208 Pulaski '40 (111001-22001), reappears on 20 Texas '50, born S.C. c1802. Still in Texas Co Mo in 1860, house 642, p. 1063.
Washington Yates, of .209 Pulaski '40 (210001-102201), was listed in Laclede census in 1850 on p. 275. Born Tn c1798; there until 1834; Ill in '35. Goodspeed reports a Laclede land entry in 1857: Twp 32, Range 13, on p. 26. One Washington Yates m. Rachel Clarke in Ray Co Mo in 1836 (Ray Marriages). Washington was quite likely his middle name as we have previously discussed. One George Yates (002011-000101), listed on p. 368 of the 1830 Census of Warren Co Tn MIGHT be your man. On p. 354 of same census are William M. Robinson (10011-10001) and Roysdon Robinson (221001-100001). William is poss. same man who appears on 206 Pulaski '40 (spelled 'Roberson'). King's Hist of Maries p. 697 says William was a bro of Stephen Roberson and ROYSDEN Roberson, Sr.; prob. oldest of the three.
Thomas Moore of 209 Pulaski '40 is lost to my view after his listing, but I can report that Robert Moore, next door to Thomas in 1840, was listed in Wright Co in 1850 on p. 542, b. Va c1794. Birthplaces of ch. put him in Tenn from about 1825 to 1836; he was in Mo. by 1836. Wright's 1860 census carved six years off his age, making him b. c1800, still in Virginia Page 359 of Goodspeed Hist of Wright says he lived on the Gasconade River in 1840. Thomas' next door neighbor in 1840, Elijah Prock, was b. N.C. c1783 and was in Tenn c1832. I believe he was listed on p. 93 of 1830 census of Monroe Co, Tennessee. Robert Moore, of p. 98 same census, appears a doubtful match. Silas Prock of 209 Pulaski '40 was, in my opinion, listed on p. 96 of 1830 Monroe census. Can anyone confirm?
There are two William Bohanans listed in 1840 Pulaski census, as Charlotte indicates, and one of them quite probably came from 1830 Overton Co Tn census, p. 183. John Smelsor of 223 Pulaski '40 was listed on same Overton page.
Also from 183 Overton '30 was probably James Worthen of 223 Pulaski '40. Worthen's 1860 Pulaski-listing on p 328 states he was b. S.C. c1801 and had reached Missouri by about 1840.
Our sincere thanks to Charlotte Austin, Rt. 3, Box 116, Strafford, MO 65757.

CORRECTION: In col #161, (Mirror Jan 10, '85): some words were omitted in fourth paragraph. We meant to say: "WISEMAN
On the Wiseman family: Brothers Albert G. Wiseman and James Wiseman (perhaps not your line. I imagine) were listed in the 1840..." etc. Please reference this correction on your clipping of #161. Haven't yet heard where in N.C. the family lived. Anyone have this, out there?
MORTALITY SCHEDULES
The Federal Gov't ordered that, for the census of 1850 and 1860, a list be made of all persons who had expired during the year previous to taking of the census. These "Mortality Schedules" have become scattered, over the years, and sometimes have been lost or destroyed. I didn't learn that my great-great grandfather was listed on the 1850 Pulaski Mortality Schedule until I finally wrote to the Mo. State Historical Society at Columbia and asked for a copy of the data. The Ozark Gene. Society published this schedule a few years ago, but I want to put it in this series too, for your convenience. Headings are: Name, Age, Sex, Marital Status, State of birth, Month in 1850 of death, and Disease or Cause of death.

COMMENTS: Notice that the babies had not been named. Infant mortality rates were very high -- over 50 percent -- and the pain of loss was increased, seemingly, if the babe took with it one of the family names. Some children didn't win a name until the family judged that they would survive pioneer life.
Ellin Knap's middle initial resembles a 'J.' but can't be sure.
Note that Pulaski territory in 1850 included part of what would later be considered Phelps and Maries Counties. Asariah Davis was listed on 218 Pulaski '40 (011000001-00000001), and so was Jacob Stuart/Stewart (1001001-010101). Jacob had previously appeared on p. 181 of 1830 Crawford Co Mo census. One Jacob Stuart married Elizabeth Bristo July 11, 1827 (Woodruff: Gasconade Marriages]. One Elizabeth Stewart is listed on 231 Pulaski '50 and 285 Pulaski '60, b. Ga c1803; her ch. were b. Mo by 1838. Eight Stewart/Stuart fams are present in 1840 Pulaski: James of p. 200 d. intestate; bond Pulaski 1844 (Woodruff). John Stewart of p. 205 MAY have been listed ten years later on 229 Laclede '50. George and David Stewart of p. 214: nothing further. Michael Stewart of p. 217: no trace. Masoner Stewart of 222 Pulaski '40 was b. Ky. c1816, says his listing on 531 Wright '50. Last in the clan was Samuel P. Stewart of 228 Pulaski '40 who d. int. in Pulaski also; bond was dated 1840. It is possible he was listed in the 1830 census of Rhea Co.. Tenn., p. 373.
STEWART
There are several indications that at
