HAMER, LLOYD, UNDERWOOD posted by Nancie Faulkner on Monday, July 5, 1999

Searching for any family connection to Mary Lloyd UNDERWOOD, born in Ray County MO. I have no dates of birth, or death. She had a daughter, Marietta Underwood HAMER who was born in Caldwell Co. on Feb. 27, 1873 and who died at the age of 58, on June 17, 1931. Mary LLOYD was married to W.S. UNDERWOOD.

MCGAUGH, PRICHARD, WOLLARD posted by Andrew Dannemann on Sunday, July 11, 1999

Looking for any information about John Wollard (or Woollard), who was in Ray county by 1830. He came from North Carolina, and married a Nancy Lill, who was born in TN. They had a large family, and farmed in the Richmond area. They were in Ray county before 1830, and are found in the 1850 census with their younger children: Narcissa E., Thomas H., Charles P., Mary Jane, Martha, John M., Nannie, Callie, Samuel A., and Swain. There are 4 older daughters who must be married and out of the household by then: Benetta, Bettie, Huldah, and Polly. Also looking for information on the Prichards, who were also in Ray county by 1830. They are not in the 1850 census, but their children are, making me think that they may have died. Robert Prichard and his wife Sina (Selena) McGaugh, had 6 children: Emmeline, Leorcy, William W., Madison M., Narcissa Clementine, and John. John, at age 12, is living in the Wollard household, in the 1850 census. Sina may have been the second wife of Robert, and may not be the mother of the children. I have further information on many of these children, but would like to extend the lines back further, so I'm actually looking for earlier information, migration information, etc. Any leads appreciated! Andrew F. Dannemann
