Over the Summer months, I have come across some obituaries, photos and articles on my family connections. I have added that info to my tree on ancestry.com . I've come across info that have solved some mysteries. There were some shocking discoveries.
Indeed, I've been making more discoveries and have been updating some family connections. It's interesting. There are articles that could be connected to the family tree. But, I can't make the connection.
I'm going back over articles. I'm looking at other family trees. I believe someone has the missing clues to make the connections. I continue to work on my Project Find A Grave and updating the biographies.
In Memory sections.
Branches of Spencer WHITE, John WHITE, Martha WHITE, and Richard WHITE
I can't find leads on Spencer WHITE or John WHITE. I've been searching newspapers. I will re read the articles. I continue to search and update info on the two.
I've been searching the 1876 Missouri Census for the WHITEs and the BLAKEYs. ~ Looking for leads. There was a Isaac White was listed with Andrew White. They are the same ones on the 1880 Census next to Julia WHITE and her family.
I have come across "Lawman" BENTLEY in news articles He was the father of Bob Ella (BENTLEY) CARR. Her mother was Martha " Mattie" WHITE. In the article, Lorman was killed in 1899. He had a wife and three children. (According to the 1910 census, Mattie was the mother of 5 children...I can't locate info on Alice WHITE and Jane WHITE.)
I have found one marriage record on Mattie WHITE. I don't think she is related. This Mattie married George BUTLER in Keyesville, MO in 1892.
Martha / Mattie WHITE, (daughter of Julia) was listed as a widow since the 1880 Census.I have come across two black Martha / WHITEs in Chariton / Howard County in MO. One was born in Missouri and the other one in Kentucky.
I've been searching for Richard WHITE on the Missouri 1870 census. There are at least two black Richard WHITEs in Chariton / Howard County in 1876.
I continue to search for leads on Isaac BLAKEY. a.k.a. Private Isaac BLAKER.
