All of my Missouri family come from the Kansas border region. Mostly Johnson County. Here are a list of the names, and the state they migrated from: Coleman of Indiana, Hedden of Indiana, Edwards of Ashe Co, North Carolina (*note* the Edward family also lived in Marshal, Saline Co, Mo and Lafayette Co, Mo.), Smith of Ohio, Elliott of Virginia and Kentucky, Talley of Franklin, Tennessee, Hayden of Indiana, Craig of Indiana, Smythe of Georgia and Kentucky, Russell of Alabama, Fox of Tennessee, Collins of Virginia (possible Quakers), Smith of Kentucky, and Lundy of Grayson Co, Virginia (possible Quakers). I know next to nothing about the Fox family, and the Georgia and Kentucky Smythe and Smiths are still quite a mystery for me. Any help is appreciated! :)

Greetings, all. I'm here because I'm interested in the area around Newton and Jasper Counties. My maternal grandfather, Joseph Dernier Kearney (b: 1892) was fostered by Martin and Mary Kearney who had a farm in Sarcoxie Prarie. Joseph travelled from New York City to Missouri at the age of three on an orphan train. Martin Kearney was originally from Scranton, Pa. and I've wondered what brought him all the way to Missouri. In my research I learned that there were a large number of Kearney's living in the area, so I've theorized that he might have had extended family there. Haven't been able to find anything to support mt theory yet.

I see the name Searcy came up in my Kentucky group! Hubby's GG Grandpa Edward (Edwin) Remington Adkins (Family moved from Owens, KY, before he was born in Platte Co, MO 4 May 1852) married a Harriet Searcy and moved to UT, but then she disappears. Anyone know anything at all about a Harriet Searcy? I've always suspected her family followed the same migration pattern as the Adkins.
