I know the Moore/Baumbach side of my family is somehow related to the Carroll family from
Gascondade county, MO but I'm not sure how.
I have a picture of Sharon Kay Carol born October 16, 1959 but I don't know what her
relationship was to James Lafayette Moore (my great grandfather). I'll attach a copy
of Sharon Kay Carol and a couple of others that I know are relatives but I don't know
who they are.
From the 1900 census in Caanan Township, Gasconade county, MO
Henry David Moore
b Oct 1849
Emma C b. May 1876
James Lafayette Moore (my great grandfather) b March 1891
My great grandfather wrote part of his own obituary and listed his mother's name as
Caroline Baumbach. He also talked about having a brother Henry and a sister (I don't
know a name).
Somewhere around 1902 the children were orphaned. His brother Henry "took off"
and was never heard from again. His sister died young. James was about 12 and lived with
different relatives in Gasconade county.
If anyone has any information on this family. The Caroll family (and spelling) or the
Baumbach family (any spelling) as well as the Moore's in Gasconade county in this time
period please contact me. I've hit a brick wall on this side of the family and would
greatly appreciate help anyone can give.
