Hi, Lonnie. Good work on the DUBOIS CENSUS INDEXES. They did not help
me, but I know that there are a lot of folks our there, like me, who
appreciate such hard work in the cause of our mutual research in Dubois
County, IN.
You have helped me with look-ups in the past. Thanks for that. But
aftervisiting your Home Page, I noted that a number of your ancestors
moved, I assume from Dubois County, IN, to Missouri. I noted the
following that was of particular interest:
"Descendants In Missouri
GOODMAN almost everywhere it seems! St Francois Co, Stoddard,
Atchison,Clay, RIVES, Saline Co,MO
WARD in Marion,Knox co,MO
JAMISON/NICHOLS In Callaway and Boone Co,MO prior to 1850
HUEY,HAWK, & CROSSWHITE in Missippi Co,MO after 1880 Direct ancestors
SMITH in St. Genevieve Co,MO prior to 1850"
There must have been a big movement about 1850 from Dubois County, IN to
the counties of St. Francois and St. Genevieve, Missouri. My own
family of WHITACRE and BEARD made that move at the same time your family
apparently moved to southeast Missouri.
Do you know what might have cause such a movememt? And are there any
other families that you know of that I might contact who had family make
such a move? Thanks, Buddy Whiteaker. , PIne Bluff, Arkansas.
