1/8/1998 Joyce VetterJoyce Vetter I am researching James Hoke who was married to Nancy Trowbridge. They are both buried in the Wilkerson Cemetery. When they came to Missouri with at least one child, Joseph L. Hoke. He married Mahala (Haley) Perkins. They are also buried in the Wilkerson cemetery. Buried next to these family members is a headstone with Viola E. Ryan b. 5/24/1911 d. 5/24/1911. I would like any info on these people.

1/8/1998 Andrew ShafferAndrew Shaffer I am searching for any info on Matilda C. Beagle and her ancestors. In a copy out of a county book sent to me by Phillips county, KS Historical society, it states she was married to my gggrandfather David Dodge in 1858. All it says about her is that she was from Pratt county, MO. Since there is no Pratt county, I assume it was a printing error and should have been Platt county, MO. Their children were Alice, Sophia, Martha (Mattie), George, Mary Anna, Charles, David Jr., and Minnie. David was a land attorney in Kansas. He was a law student at the land office of Vorhees and Vorhees in St. Joseph, MO. He first came to KS in February 1854 and took up the first claim of land in Leavenworth. His daughter, Mary Anna was my ggrandmother and was born Nov. 8, 1869 in Atchison county, KS. Any info on the Beagle family would be greatly appreciated.

1/8/1998 Barbara RobinsonBarbara Robinson The John Marshall Rogers family moved to Platte county where John and Sarah died after 1880 and are buried in Rogers cemetery. Is there a listing for this cemetery since a copy of this would probably answer a great many of my questions. I believe the Stone family that I am trying to locate must have been in the area about 1870 to 1890 because both of the sisters, Matikia and Nan(cy) Stone married and had children who were born in Platte county., I think the Stones migrated from the Danville area of Kentucky. Mattie's oldest child was born in 1875, the youngest in 1884, they were all born in Platte county, on a homestead between Dearborn and Edgerton. Matikia Stone married Thomas Stobaugh abut 1874 (from 1900 OK census). There are notes, jottings, etc., thqt indicate that both their families were close by. Thomas (K.T.) had at least one brother living in the area. Perhaps named Rueben. I know this is a lot of rather unorganized data, hard for an unrelated resercher to make sense of. I do research for people in Harper county, KS and Grant county, OK, and I do know it can be difficult. Thanks for any info.

All their children were born in this area. They should be listed in the 1880 census. They probably resided near other relatives, I would appreciate any info on surnames - ATHA, STOBAUGH, STONE. Thanks.
