I am trying to find out all the information that I can about my father's side of the family that lived in Trenton, Halfrock & Spickard Mo. My Great-grandfather was Andrew Smiley. He was born
in Indiana & relocated in Halfrock. He enlisted in the Mo 44th Inf in the
Civil War & was killed in the battle of Franklin Tn near the end of the
war; 1864. He left behind a widow & two sons. One son was also known as
Andrew ( I do not know the other son's name) & he was my Grandfather. He
was a blacksmith in Halfrock or one of the little communities close by. My
father's name was Cecil W Smiley. He was born in Halfrock in 1900. He died
in 1979. I know there is still family around Spickard, Trenton, Laredo. My dad's mother's side of the family was Garrett. John Garrett was my
Great-grandfather who also fought in the Civil War on the northern side but
he returned home. He was a farmer & I believe he had 12 or 13 kids. He is
buried in Halfrock. I believe the only thing left in Halfrock is the
church & graveyard. The Garrett family reunion used to be held there. I only
met some of the family when I was very small.
My dad had three sisters-Ninnie, Ethel & Flo. Aunt Ethel & Aunt Flo stayed
around those small towns the rest of their lives. They are also gone. I
know they had children. Aunt Ethel married Frank Russell & I believe their
son's name is Kenneth. Aunt Flo married Jess Warren. I believe they had a
daughter named Mary or Mary Jane. I suppose I'm lucky to know as much as I
do but I really would love to locate some of my cousins & find out more
about the family background. I hope you can pass on some information to me
or let someone know of my search. Thank you so very much.
My G.G. Grandfather, Samuel KELSO was one of the earliest settlers of Lincoln
Twp. Grundy Co. MO. having arrived there in the fall of 1837. He was born in
Spartenburg Co. S.C 10 Jul. 1794. A group of KELSOs and others left S.C.
about 1807 and settled in Daviess and Dubois Cos. in Indiana. In the group
was the Henry FOSTER family. In Daviess Co. IN on 16 Oct. 1819 Samuel
married Dorcas, the daughter of Henry and Sarah FARIS FOSTER. Nine of the
12 children OF Samuel and Dorcas were born in Indiana before they left to
come to Missouri. The youngest daughter was born in Illinois. I haven't
determined if they lived there for a while or if she was born while passing
through. The youngest child, my gr. grandfather, Hiram A.H., was born in
Grundy County on 16 May 1840. The oldest daughter of Samuel and Dorcas,
Margaret (Peggy) married Robert SPEER. They moved to Harrison Co. MO where
Robert died in 1876 and Peggy in 1903. They had a daughter Nancy (Sis) who
married Thomas ALEXANDER and two sons, Samuel P. and Robert E. I will
exchange information about any of these families.
I am looking for descendants of Nicholas DENNIS who lived in Galt
Missouri until his death in 1933. Nicholas was born in Bath County

moved to Douglas County and after the death of John in 1910...he
returned to Grundy County with his family and John's widow and
children. Nicholas and his wife Nancy Ellen are buried at West Galt
Cemetery with son William and daughter Nellie.
He was survived by 4 daughters: Lucy Cox, Esther Bromenschinkel,
Stella Miller, Alpha Gasperson and one son: Homer

I am looking for anyone who has more information concerning Jewett NORRIS who was the benefactor of the Jewett Norris Library in Trenton, MO. I am interested in the NORRIS' and WIGGINS' from NH. I saw the information on the Grundy Co Web page and realized he was the Jewett NORRIS in my family.
I have an 1880 census record of Trenton Township, Grundy County, MO that
lists my gggrandfather Charles N (could be an H) LONG. He is listed as a
farmer and there are 4 children. It says that he was born in Ohio about 1842
and that his parents were both born in PA. Shortly after this Annie LONG
died and Charles enlisted the aid of his neighbors to care for the children.
A family named NICHOLSON took my grandfather, William LONG with them when
they moved to western Iowa. He never saw his family again. Annie LONG was
born in KY and we don't know her maiden name. They were married about 1869.
Any help in finding this family would be greatly appreciated.
