Comments:
I am looking for any information on Maggie Poole Summers who was married to John Summers in the 1890's and I think died in 1911 in Missouri. They had 6 children: Gertie, Bertha, Clyde, Raymond, Bessie. I have some of the census listing them in Dunklin County. I would like to know when Maggie Summers died and what her maiden name was (for sure). I know that her Mother's name was Mary Pool or Poole and that she later married a man with the last name McDaniel or McDaniels. What was Mary's maiden name and who was Maggie's father. If you have any information about these families please contact me. Thank you, Rena Gee

SURNAMES: DAVIS, PRUITT, ANDERSON, WAGNER
Comments:
Mr. L.V. Davis was murdered, stab wound to the heart, on November 16, 1924. According to his death certificate (#31397), Mr. Van ANDERSON, informant, claimed L.V. DAVIS was abt 35 years old and married (no spouse name listed), born in Henderson Co., TN and his parents were Asa and Rachel DAVIS. LV, a citizen of Salem, was buried in Senath cemetery on Nov. 17, 1924.

Earlier Mr. LV DAVIS married Rachel WAGGONER (many spelling variations) in Dunklin Co. and I believe she was related to the informant, Van ANDERSON.

Mr. LV DAVIS also consented to the marriage of his dau, Alsie (?) to GW PRUETT in Dunklin Co.

Otherwise, I cannot find information on this man other than he shows striking similarites to my own DAVIS family. We are descended of four DAVIS boys, born out of wedlock to Asa HAYS and Rachel Davis DERRYBERRY in Henderson Co., TN. One son, Thomas was said to have died young, having been murdered in Dunklin Co. I have not found a death record (or living record for that matter) for Thomas DAVIS, so you can understand why I am so curious about this LV DAVIS.

If you have any information about this people and the events listed, please contact me.

Thank you,
Gena DAVIS

John Snider Sr is no longer in Dunklin Co census in 1880. Most likley deceased. John's wife Julia b N Y about 1805
John and Julia's children, 1850 census :
Hiram, Sally, Franklin (Ben), John, Martha A, Rosannah, Elizabeth, Mily.
their oldest daughter Julia A married John Snider b tn. in Massac Co Il. 18 March 1848.
I think their oldest son was Dr James W Snider. b 1818 Tn/Va. He married 1842 In Pope Co Il Jeraldene Brown. By 1848 , he is in Franklin Co Il and married Elizabeth Umphrey Mutchlar. He is in Jackson co Il 1850 with wife Elizabeth . one year old son Obedias and Rosannah, who is 20 now.
They are a few doors down from John and Julia In Dunklin Co by 1860 also. James goes back to Alexander Co Illinois by 1880. His son Obedias lives there. I need a probate or land record from Dunklin co naming these children. the time is between 1870 and 1880. Hiram is still in Dunklin co census 1880.
