BARCLAY, BRESHEARS, CARUTHERS, DAVIDSON, WOLLARD posted by David A. Barclay on Tuesday, February 18, 1997

Can anyone in either Dallas or Polk County furnish me information as to identity of my great grandfather. My great grandmother, Mary Delilah BARCLAY, daughter of Durrett Hubbard BARCLAY and Lucretia DAVIDSON, gave birth to my grandfather, David BARCLAY, on September 26, 1859 at St. Joseph, MO. She had been living in either Dallas or Polk County before his birth. Family history indicates just prior to the Civil War she had been dating an older man (father of my grandfather) and her family did not want her to marry him. He reportedly fought in the Civil War and never returned as far as we know. His last name may have been CARUTHERS (several ways to spell name). Mary Delilah later married John BRESHEARS of Dallas County. My grandfather, David BARCLAY, married Louisa Jane WOLLARD at Buffalo, MO on April 5, 1891.
