WINNINGHAM posted by Donald Winningham on Thursday, August 10, 2000

Seeking information of John and Mary (Polly) WINNINGHAM. They had 9 children in Missouri, including John Jackson WINNINGHAM, born 1837, my great grandfather. The family traveled about a number of counties in Missouri, but while there are suggestions of the children being present in Missouri, the parents essentially disappeared. One source, maybe unreliable, shows John WINNINGHAM died in 1861 in Missouri. The same source lists wife Mary as dying in 1848 in Missouri. While all the children were Missouri born, there is no record in any census that the parents were ever enumerated. During this timeframe, William Sharp Winningham (1815-1850) and wife Malinda were in Ray County, and their daughter Mary Jane WINNINGHAM (WININGHAM) was born in 1840. They had 8 children, and probably 3 were born in Ray County. Shortly after 1840, William Sharp and his family moved to Harrison County. I believe John and William Sharp were kin, probably brothers. I am seeking information on any WINNINGHAM members.

BAIRD, BOGART, GRIFFEY, LYMAN, RIGGS, ROWLAND posted by Joyce Runyan on Thursday, August 17, 2000

I am looking for any information on my Great Grandparents, William GRIFFEY and Rachel ROWLAND. Rachel is the daughter of Jesse ROWLAND and Mary LYMAN. I do not know who William's parents are but would like to identify them. I was able to travel to Richmond last month and obtain the three marriage records for Rachel. Rachel died in 1928 and was buried in the Rowland Cemetery. I visited her grave and would like to contact someone who has records for the burials in this cemetery. Rachel ROWLAND married Jesse BAIRD. I would like to know how this marriage ended, death of Jesse or divorce. Rachel then married Dan BOGART. Their marriage ended in divorce. Rachel then married William GRIFFEY. They had one son, Ralph Burris GRIFFEY born in 1894. They divorced in 1900 and Rachel moved to Oklahoma with Ralph and some of her children from previous marriages. I would like to find out what happened to William. I think that William's first wife, Susannah RIGGS, is buried somewhere in Ray County. I would like to know where as this may prove to be a clue as to what happened to William. I would also like to have any information about the capture of Bill Anderson. It is said that Mary ROWLAND, mother of Rachel, was instrumental in his capture. I would like to prove or disprove this. Thank you in advance for any information that you may be able to provide.
