The author’s search for her elusive French ancestor, Achilles Godin (or Gaudin), has led to this volume of Missouri records and abstracts which collectively span the years 1766–1839. This time period is often puzzling to the Missouri/Arkansas researcher because the region changed ownership from France to Spain, then back to France, and finally to the United States in what became known as the Louisiana Purchase. These records were chosen, in part, to help fill the gap created by the lack of an 1810 and an 1820 census. A wide variety of information from thirty-four counties and the state as a whole is included: marriage records, Spanish censuses, tax lists, estrays, letters at the post office, cemetery listings, petitioners, animal marks and brands, slave bills of sale, French and Spanish land grants, military records, steamboat disaster victims, and much more. The surname index includes the French “dit” names (aliases), and contains several thousand entries.

Volume two of Missouri Genealogical Records and Abstracts was compiled by the author in her search for her elusive French ancestor—Achille Godin (or Gaudin); it collectively spans 1752–1839, a time period which is often puzzling to the Missouri/Arkansas researcher because the region changed ownership from France to Spain, then back to France, and finally to the United States in what became known as the Louisiana Purchase. The records were chosen, in part, to help fill the gap created by the lack of a complete extant Federal census for Missouri prior to 1830. A wide variety of information from over forty counties is included: petitioners, tax lists, cemetery listings, estrays, wills and bonds, marriage records, licenses, grand jury members, Indian trade records, indictments, letters at the post office, marks and brands, and much more. This volume also includes a special section devoted to the French and Spanish of the Mississippi Valley, because when researching a French or Spanish ancestor that lived in Missouri, Arkansas, Indiana, Illinois, or Louisiana, one must think of the Mississippi Valley as one area. The French especially were a mobile people engaged in trade in this area with the Indians. French and Spanish records include censuses, military statements, grants, petitioners, regiment members, and more. The surname index includes the French “dit” names (aliases) and has several thousand entries. This volume covers the following counties: Arkansas, Audrain, Barry, Benton, Boone, Callaway, Cape Girardeau, Cass/Van Buren, Chariton, Clay, Cole, Cooper, Franklin, Gasconade, Greene, Henry, Howard, Jackson, Jefferson, Johnson, Lafayette/Lillard, “Old” Lawrence, Lewis, Lincoln, Macon, Miller, Monroe, Montgomery, New Madrid, Perry, Pike, Platte, Ralls, Randolph, Ray, Saline, Shelby, Ste. Genevieve, St. Charles, St. Francois, St. Louis, Warren, Washington, Wayne and Warren.

In this, her third volume of Tennessee newspaper abstracts, Mrs. Eddlemon has again attempted to capture all names of local residents from all types of announcements, ads, and notices. They are drawn from three early Tennessee newspapers, all of which predate the first complete Federal census, and hence, are of great genealogical interest. The material includes lists of delinquent taxpayers, dead letters at the post office, runaway spouses and slaves, and all kinds of sales of goods and services, in addition to the usual marriage and death notices. The papers covered in this volume are: The Jackson Gazette, 1825-1828, The Sparta Review, 1823-1825, and The Knoxville Register, 1821-1822.

Volume four contains the earliest records yet compiled by the author in this valuable series. Anyone seeking Missouri ancestors will quickly find himself tangled in the history of the region, which changed hands between France, Spain, and the U. S. and whose boundaries often included the neighboring territories of Orleans and Indiana. Straying ancestors also tended to spill into Arkansas, Louisiana, Illinois, Kentucky, and Tennessee. The author has simplified the search by including many records from these areas. The researcher will find the usual birth, marriage, and death records as well as tax lists, wills, letters at the post office, jury lists, loan reports, and other information from forty-nine counties. Some of the specific county sections include more recent records, such as the Webster County Poor Farm records of 1883. Also featured is a section on statewide/territorial documents containing French and Spanish prisoners on the U.S. Connecticut and the U.S. Constellation in 1799 and 1800, passengers arriving at New Orleans from January 3, 1820 to May 29, 1821, and appointments by the Governor, 1810-1811. The Missourians out-of-state section includes the 1860 Jeffersonville, Indiana, penitentiary census; Missouri war veterans in Iowa from the War of 1812, Mexican War, and Revolutionary War; and obituaries and tax lists from Kentucky, Kansas, Texas, Arkansas, and Tennessee, just to name a few. French "dit" names (aliases) are included in the vast surname index. This volume covers the following counties: Andew, Audrain, Barry, Bates, Boone, Buchannan, Cape Girardeau, Carroll, Cass, Cedar, Chariton, Clark, Clay, Clinton, Cooper, Dade, Franklin, Gasconade, Henry, Hickory, Howard, Iron, Jasper, Johnson, Laclede, Lafayette, Lawrence, Lewis, Lincoln, Maries, Marion, Monroe, Morgan, Nodaway, Osage, Perry, Platte, Pulaski, Ralls, Ray, Reynolds, Saline, Scotland, Stoddard, St. Charles, Ste. Genevieve, St. Louis, Washington and Webster.

alls County was created in 1820 from Pike County and lies deep in the heart of Mark Twain country, on the banks of the Mississippi River. It was named for Missouri legislator, Daniel Ralls. Settlement records give information such as names of heirs, disposition of property, and, in a few cases, dates which help establish an approximate time of death or burial. The genealogical abstracts contained in this volume are taken from Roll No. C5637 obtained from the Missouri State Archives. Some entries contain interesting details, such as sales of property, monies owed to doctors and undertakers, funds set aside for schooling of heirs, clothing handed down to slaves, and money value of slaves, while others give only a date with voucher numbers and no names. Every effort has been made to retain the original spelling of names and any other genealogical data included with the settlement record. All entries are in order as they appear in the original records. A handy surname index (with approximately 5,000 names) is included for ease of reference. (
