We are looking for information on James Yowell family and their connection to other Yowells in your area. The two year old son,Charley, in the 1880 census is the grandfather of a couple of researchers. I don't think the family is any near connection to my Yowells down in Phelps Co. (Do you know how rare that name is in the rest of the country - except for KS, MO, NE, and VA?)
The family would be happy to provide information on the history of Charley's life and family. They (& I) are among the rat race crowd so they don't have much time for research. Thank you for your time.

I recently discovered that my Powers ancestors left Greenup Co., Ky for Monroe Co., Mo. I think the earliest ancester was Richard Dean Powers abt. 1831 with his wife Harriet, along with his sister Polly married to Thomas Poage, Elizabeth married to Edmund Damrell.
I found a sale for indebtedness in Greenup by James Powers and his wife Sally and I believe Richard Dean Powers was his son. There are too many Powers in Monroe and I'm having troubles sorting them out! Is anyone else researching this family? I would love to exchange information. Thank you.

Would like to have family origin of Buell/Bealle as listed in cemetery records, relating to family ancestors. Would also like to know if a Joseph Martin Roby is listed in cemetery records.

Have done extensive Robey/Roby family research. Have heard rumor of some earlier graves located in St Stephens Cemetery to have been lost due to extensive flooding back in the late 1800's. Thank you very much for you time and effort.

Brenda Hinton Aug 14 1998

I am originally from Moberly, MO but currently reside in Riverdale, GA. My cousin and I have been in the process for sometime trying to trace our grandfather's family. We learned from Rev. L. B. Troy before his death that he and our grandfather, Elmer Hinton, Jr. and his brothers and sisters had apparently grew up and attended the black school in, I believe, Paris,MO. This would have been the early 1900's. Rev.Troy had provided a picture taken at the school which I beleive is now hanging in the Monroe County Historical. I had a copy of this picture but it was destroyed with other materials collected when my car was stolen some months ago. So now I am back to square one. I would appreciate any assistance that you might be able to provide on my family. We know almost nothing about my grandfather's family. Grandfather died in Kansas City when my father was five years old, he is now 72. My dad is just as anxious as we are in putting together these puzzle pieces of our family.
I thank you in advance for any assistance that you might be able to provide. Thanks again.

I am looking for information on Dan and Hannah Quarles, Qurrells, Qualls, an African American who lived in Monore/Ralls County, from as late as 1842 (maybe earlier) through 1870. The Quarles were attatched to the John A. Quarles family of Florida, Mo. Their son, James Harvey Quarles left Florida with Benjamin L. Quarles when he moved to Henry County. Ben sold James Harvey to a Charley Guinot or Guniot who took James to Madison County, Texas about 1861. In 1870 Dan and Hannah and their younger children, Frank, George, Margaret and Mary lived in Clay Township of Ralls, County. However by 1880 none of the Quarles can be found on Missouri Census Records. James Harve Quarles lived in Madison County, Texas until his death in 1842 and has grandchildren here in the Houston area. We would like to find any information on the African American Quarles, and know if there are any resources available specifically for African Americans. Our Quarles were born in Virginia, so we are of course, interested in knowing if they came with the white Quarles from Virginia via Tenn.

Are will, probate and settlement records available from the 1850's?
Are slave sale records available?
Were early African American Marriage Records maintained separate from
those of whites?
Were there many free blacks in the area prior to Civil War?
Are there manumission or freedom papers available at Court House?
Are there Quarles, black or white in area? Thanks.

(County Coordinator's note--If you can answer these questions, I too would be interested for a new African-American webpage.)

I have a photo album which contains photos of the QUISENBERRY and BIGGS families (possibly others) which lived in the Santa Fe area. Most of these photos are from the period 1870-1920 and unidentified; but if someone was interested, I would work with them to identify. My connection here is this: My great grandmother's twin sister, Luella CHAPEL married Fred QUISENBERRY in Monroe Co., MO. abt. 1893. Fred and Luella had no children, so the album was passed down on my line. Fred was the son of Phillip QUISENBERRY and LucindaGeorgia Ann TANNER. Phillip was born in Clark Co., KY. 8 Dec 1835; Lucinda was born 2 Oct 1839 in Santa Fe.
