SURNAMES: MANN, SWEAZEA
Does anyone know who the JOHN MANN was who was married to Mary L. Sweazea
Mann? Her obituary was in the Dec. Newsletter of the Rey.Co. Hist. and Gen.
Soc.
She was b. about 1855 in Wayne Co., MO.
Would like to know if this JOHN MANN was connected to ARNOLD MANN (b. 1798).
Arnold Mann was probably the son of a Jacob and Mary Arnold Mann who were in
Lincoln County, Kentucky in the late 1780's . (There was also a Thomas, John,
Andrew and George who were probably the brother's of Jacob. This assumption
is based on the fact they were all in Lincoln County, Kentucky together and
that Jacob son's were given these name's as well.)
Arnold Mann was first found on the Missouri census, in 1840. He was in
Wayne County, Missouri. According to the census, he was age 42 which would
establish his birthdate as about 1798. It is unknown where Arnold Mann was
living previous to this census. He possibly may have been living with
Andrew, Charles, Issac, or James Mann, who were all in Wayne County, Missouri
in 1830.
Thank you for your time.

SURNAMES: FLOYD, SMITH
I am looking for information about my grandmother, GERTRUDE DOVE FLOYD.
She married CLARENCE A. SMITH, son of ALBERT H. SMITH who lived in
Renolds County in the 1880-?'s I know very little about her. I do know
that Clarence and her lived with Albert Smith for a while on his farm at
Bills Creek. and that they were married on Sept. 3, 1887. They separated
and grandma, I believe, moved to Kirksville with her daughter, Thelma.
Clarence ended up in CA. I am curious about the Floyd line and have
been told that my grandmother is related to Pretty Boy Floyd in some
way. She was born on 6-9-1896. I would like to know where she was born,
if she had brothers and sisters and if she is related in some way to
Pretty Boy Floyd? Can anyone help? Please e-mail me at
dhorsey@slonet.org with any information
Thanks

NAME: Jo Wilson
SURNAMES: HASTY, LESTER
In all Reynolds Co. records I have seen accounts of how Mary's Chapel came to be called by that name, the reference has been to Mary the daughter of Jordan & Sally Hasty. In an obituary dated Jan. 21, 1916 for Joseph, the son of Benjamin and Lydia Hasty, it is noted that Mary for whom the Chapel was named was his sister, and related the story of the log falling on her. Who is Mary's father?
Thanks, Jo Wilson

NAME:Jane Lands
SURNAMES: BARTON
I am looking for anyone out there who might have information regarding the
facts behind an article I read that said John Barton and his wife Mary
"Polly" Earles Barton, early settlers in Reynolds County, circa 1850, were
part of the Trail of Tears. This article was about Rev. John Barton, their
grandson and the son of George W. Barton and Catherine Reese Barton. Is
there anyone out there with proof or just remembers a story about that?
They came here from Clark County, Illinois. Many sources say they were part
Cherokee-but how? They were originally from Va/Ky. My husband's
gggrandmother, John and Mary Earles Barton's daughter, was Nancy Barton
Lands, b.1840 Il. - d. 1912 Mo. She has been confused in several charts and
lists as being several different people. One story says she was Nelson
Barton's first wife. She was his aunt! His first wife was Mary Ann Johnson
who died of a tick bite. He then married Nancy Barnes, called "Nant" and
both are buried in Centerville Cemetery. Also, she has been confused as
being Jake Clements' wife, he was married to a Nancy but not Nancy Barton
Lands. Jake and Nancy Clements are buried in the Barton cemetery. My Nancy
had a son William Lands, born in either Il. or Indiana in 1861 or 1862.
Nancy eventually md. Edward Lewey, a Canadian Frenchman who served in the
Civil War. They lived in Centerville before moving with her grandson Rev.
Edw. Mitchell Lands' family to western Missouri. Nancy's sister Sarah, or
Sally, md. John C. Blankenship. Sarah had a bible with some family history,
births, marriages, etc. in it that was copied from and I eventually got
several pages copied. Does anyone out there have the original bible that I
could see? Are there any people out there who can help me with this line,
or
anybody who knows or is familiar with someone who knows about this family's
history? If so, I would appreciate hearing from you. Thank you so much.
Jane Lands, Florissant, Mo.
