SURNAMES: CHRONISTER/MANN/QUIGLEY
Seek correspondence with descendants of Daniel CHRONISTER and his wife, Mary. My current research objective is to identify the daughters of this couple who resided in 1830, Wayne Co., MO; 1840 Ripley Co., MO; and in 1850, Reynolds Co., MO. Daniel is buried in a lone gravesite near the edge of the Current River in Shannon Co., Mary's deathdate and burial place, unknown. I believe one of the daughters to be Milly, wife of Isaac MANN, resident of Reynolds Co. in 1850, 1860, and 1870. Another may be the Laviney C. Cronister who married Thomas QUIGLEY in 1838 in Ripley Co., MO. I would appreciate any help with proving or disproving these theories.
