six sons (George Washington, Milton, Joseph, David, John
Hamilton, and Abraham
Deuteronomy) moved to Montevallo, which was Bates County
in 1840. At that time
he purchased 160 acres of land. His wife died after the
birth of a daughter, Rebecca
Lucinda Ray, and he married Asenath Martin Abner in Bates
who had four children
living with her from her first marriage. The Abner children
( Margaret, Rebecca C.,
Eliza, and Joseph Abner) lived in Bates County with their
step father, James Ray
until grown.
Asenath's parents lived in Bates County on 1850 census.
They were Joseph and
Jane Martin. Their children also lived there as adults
in 1850, Ephriam, Lewis and Evan.

20 OCT 2006
Query: In my search to find what company my ancestor Chester
Snider
served in, I find his 3rd wife Amanda Snider tried
unsuccessfully to
get a pension,but their house had burned after Chester's
death (21 May
1901 at Grants Pass, Oregon), so she could not
tell what company was
in, but in those papers she said he joined the confederacy
same time as
Phil Stanford. She filed her papers where she lived
at the time in Tom
Green Co. Tx. I obtained Phil Stanford's records, and
verified he joined
in Bates Co. Mom
So, I am searching for a list of those who joined Co.
B. col. Payton's
Reg. in Bates Co. Mo. (This is the Company Phil
Stanford was in. He
had joined this company in May 1861 for 6 months, after
which he
re-joined for 3 years.)
Does any one know of a list of those who served in that
regiment?. I
would sure like to see it.
Chester Snider was in Vernon Co. Mo on 1860 census (borders
Bates Co.,
so it is certain he would have joined there in Bates
Co. with Phil
Stanford.
Can someone help me?
