Surnames: DUNKLIN, SULLIVAN, McELROY, SWINNEY, SWEENEY
Seeking any information on a man named Dunklin SWINNEY/SWEENEY, listed as head of household in the 1830 Washington County census. I am trying to determine if he would be kin to a Micajah SWINNEY/SWEENEY that supposedly married Sarah Margaret "Sally" Sullivan Dunklin, mother of Gov. Daniel Dunklin. Sarah married first, Joseph DUNKLIN, Jr. in Greenville, South Carolina and moved to Caldwell County, Ky. After Joseph's death, Sarah married a John McELROY on July 6, 1809 in Caldwell Co,Ky. The marriage is on record along with a prenuptial agreement between Sarah and John. According to the "Scrugg Genealogy" and "Register of the Sullivan Family", written by members of the Dunklin family, Sarah is said to have married a Micajah SWEENEY after Joseph's death, but no record has been found of this marriage. If anyone has any information on Dunklin SWEENEY/SWINNEY or Micajah SWEENEY/SWINNEY family, please contact me. Thanks, Paula Dunkliln

Name: Von Johnston
I am seeking information on the parents of my great grandfather, James Monroe JOHNSTON. He was born in Washington County on July 14, 1837. I believe he was the oldest of four children, the last two children were twins born between 1846 and 1848. James had a brother, William, who was born in 1844 or 1845. It is possible that his mother´s first name was Curency, born about 1816 in Virginia. I believe her maiden name was THOMPSON. Apparently, James´ father was killed in the Mexican-American War. The family moved to Reynolds County at a later date and they are listed there on the 1870 census.

These were Catholic folks and Mary is especially likely to have been buried in a churchyard.

Are there Parish death records for St James Church between 1866-1875? From the records copied on microfilm, it seems they were between Priests..Eugene O'Heay and M. Reilly.

I am looking for any info on the Gilliam/Gillam families of Washington, Mo. My ancestor was George GILLIAM 1819-?, of Washington County, Mo., and his son George Wilson Gilliam 1847-1924 and G.W.'s wife Anna Mathis 1879-1954. They mostly lived in Harmony Township, near Quaker, MO. I have quite a bit of info on the Gilliam/Gillams and believe they derive from a forebear named Solomon Gillam, originally from VA. by way of N.C. thru TENN. Maybe some day there could be a Gilliam forum.

This William could possibly be my g-grandfather, Albert William DOWNEY, supposedly born in Missouri, date unknown. He married Emmie Armelta Cadle in Dunklin County, MO, 20 June 1886. He died before 1900, because she was found with second husband, Henry Otte in 1910 Poinsett County, AR census. Being married 11 years in 1910.

Was Belleview once a part of Washington County? One other question: Is the White Funeral Home at Caladonia, MO still there? In September, at the Missouri Archives in Jefferson City, I came across a book "White Funeral Home Register, Caladonia, MO Sept. 8, 1907-Oct. 1924." On page 12 an entry says "Mrs. Kirkpatrick, died of old age on Feb. 20, 1914. Ordered by Walter Farley."
Mrs. Kirkpatrick could be my great great grandmother, Margaret Jane HUGHES, who married David W. KIRKPATRICK in Washington County in 1859. The last record I can find of her was the 1910 Belgrade Township, Washington County, Missouri Census.
I am interested in verifying her death date and location andperhaps finding where she is buried. Sorry to trouble you, but any help would be appreciated.

Subject: Washington County Lodge
I am wanting to find if anyone in Washington Co. has any knowledge of the Potosi Lodge No. 39, chartered by the Grand Lodge of KY in 1816. None of this information was known to the Grand Lodge of MO until I told the Grand Secretary of MO. I found this Lodge in the records of the Grand Lodge of KY. In 1816 Stephen F. Austin, founder of the Austin Colony in Texas, was the Junior Warden. The Lodge surrendered it's charter to the Grand Lodge of KY in 1818 without giving a reason.
Any information on this lodge and it's members would be greatly appreciated. An article on this lodge and Stephen F. Austin was written by me and was published in FOOTPRINTS, the quarterly publication of the Fort Worth Genealogical Society.
