| 202 | I00759 | Information on this line received from Marvin Owens. Burton was a farmer. His education and religion was unknown. According to Marvin Owens, few knew of Burton's marriage to Cora, at about the age of 19, and those few knew only unverified rumors of what happened. The most likely story is that Albert Burton and Cora had a son, Burton, shortly after they were married, and that Cora took the son and moved to Oklahoma. No one has been able to verify this. Marvin thought he possibly was born in Tennessee. Per Sonja Bentley, Burton and Marion Arminda were married June 3, 1892. Per Sonja Bentley, Burton and Marion have another child, Luther Owens, b. 1890. This was before they were married and no one else in the family has this information. Could Burton's child by his first wife have been named not Burton, but Burton Luther and this was the child referred to. |

| 217 | I0079 | Johannes Phipps appears in a disposition of 1292, then declaring that he was about 60 years old, which means he was born about 1232 A.D. In an inquisition of that date by Robert, son and heir of the deceased, concerning proving his age; Johannes Phipps, 60 years of age, under oath and questioned about the age of Robert, soldier, son, and heir of the aforesaid Warini evidently in this year... And John himself knows this because on the next night after the purification (?) of Alice, mother of the aforesaid Robert, after the birth of the aforesaid Robert in the cur (?) of Calelton, certain...etc... The name does not occur again for another 200 years. Since we then find it in Cemeley, Somersetshire (mentioned in its latin form in the above inquisition), it would appear that the family continued to own property in that county and that Johannes Phipps was the progenitor of the name. Almost every source agrees that the name Phipps is derived from the baptismal name Philip, which comes from the Greek word for "lover of horses." |

| 221 | I00870 | MEMORIAL In loving remembrance of our mother, Mrs. F. M. Taylor, who died one year ago, July 29, 1928. Earth has lost its look of gladness, heaven seems to be more bright, Since the spirit of our mother Took its heavenly flight. In life we loved her dearly And in death we do the same. Dear mother, I often sit and think Of you and wish you were here again. But God called, it was His will But in my heart you linger still, Your memory is so dear to me As in the hour you went away. I think of you dear mother in silence-- No eye can see me weep But many a silent tear I shed While others are asleep. Dear mother, could you speak to us And live with us again Our aching hearts then would be eased But this we wish in vain. You are gone, Mother, but not forgotten Never will they memory fade, sweetest thoughts shall ever linger Around the grave where you are laid. Just the crossing of the river, Just a stepping on the shore; The the joys of life eternal All were yours. For the Master whom we follow In his word has plainly said, That you're only sweetly sleeping Though you're numbered with the dead. The stars are dimly shining Upon your new-made grave, Where you sleep without waking You were loved but could not save. Sweet and peaceful be your slumber Forget you I can never But God called you home, He knows best, His will be done forever. F. M. Taylor, O. L. Taylor, L. S. Taylor, Veda Owens, Dolly Dummit, Velia Stewart, Luvena Martin |

(His first four children were by a previous marriage. wlg) She became acquainted with William Thomas Taylor (b. l Septe., 1841 Tennessee), who had moved to Washington County, Missouri. He enlisted in Capt. C. J. Barnes' Company J, 5 Reg., Ks. Cav. on 24 April, 1862, during the Civil War at Springfield, Missouri. Records show him to be a man 6 foot, 1 1/4 inches tall, complexion light,eyes black, occupation, farmer. He was honorably discharged at De Valls Bluff, Arkansas, on the 23rd day of April, 1865, by reason of expiration of term of service. He and Anna were married 5 Oct., 1865, at Potosi, Missouri, by Robert H. Dickey, J.P. They remained in Washington County, Missouri, until the following year at which time they moved to Stone County, accompanied by John and James Owens, brothers of Anna Taylor. There they took up residence on land next to her parent's farm in Alp9ine Township (T22N, Range 24 W). They remained on the farm until 1902, when they moved to Monett, Barry County, Missouri, to live until Thomas died 29 June, 19113, of paralysis. He had attained the age of 72 years, 7 months and 29 days. Thomas had made applicationand did receive a $25 monthly pension for his Civil War service. Upon his death, Anna applied for a widow's pension and received $12 a month until her death. She died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J. W. Bougher, at 5:20 o'clock Thursday evening, January 28, 1915. She had a stroke of paralysis six days before her death and gradually failed from that time. (Her death certificate lists the cause of death as "apoplexy." The obituary said, "Funeral services will be held at 2:30 p.m. Saturday at the Bougher home, 1008 East Broadway, Monett, Missouri. Rev. W. A. Todd, pastor of the Baptist Church will conduct the services." Mrs. Taylor was a hard working woman, a good wife and mother. She had attained the age of 72 years and 3 months, less 1 day. Both Thomas and Anna are buried in the Westbay (now IOOF) cemetery at Monett. All 7 of their children and grandchildren were born in Stone County.

| 230 | I00890 | Rootsweb entry from another researcher: (PART I) --- CRAIG RICHARDSON Dear List; HELP!! (With a Great Big Please!) I have been researching my GG Grandfather, William Thomas Taylor, b. Sept. 1,1841, d. June 29,1913. I have all the information up to his birth date and depending on which source is correct, his State of birth. Most entries indicate he was born in Tennessee, a couple of sources indicate Kentucky, (Horse Cave, Kentucky), and, at age 25, in the 1870 Census of Flat Creek Township #50, Stone Co., Missouri, he is listed as being born in Alabama. He is buried at the Oakdale Cemetery in Monet, Missouri. He purchased land, (40 acres), in Southern Stone Co., Missouri from the McDonald Land And Mining Company, (a Corporation of Missouri), on Feb. 5,1916. That land was sold by his children after William Thomas Taylor's death. The sale of the 40 acres was concluded on August 11,1947. I have hit a brick wall concerning HIS PARENTS and HIS ANCESTRY. With the info. that I have shared about William Thomas Taylor in this e-mail, can anyone suggest any areas of research, ideas, resources, anything that might help me find out who his parents were? He married Anna (Annie) Isabella Owens on Oct. 5,1865 in Potosi, Washington Co., Missouri. Anna Isabella Owens, b. Oct. 29,1844, d. Jan. 28,1915. She was born in Washington Co., Missouri. She died in Monett, Missouri, but she was buried in the Owens Cemetery in Stone County, Missouri. |
| 231 | I00890 | ROOTWEB entry: (PART II) I am very willing and intent on doing whatever it takes to get the research that I want for my families' history, most of all, for my Mother. We have been researching this together and she's so excited about the things we've learned so far. We found our Taylor ancestors pictured and their histories written in the History Of Stone County Missouri, Volume 1 and Volume 2. My hope and dream is to find this info. and break into the "old" family history and make my Mother happy. I am 50 years old now, Mom is still 39 & counting, of course. She has been the most wonderful, loving, PATIENT Mother to me that anyone could ever be fortunate enough to have. I love my Mother and I want to do this for her. We want to do this together. Thanks for any suggestions, Sincerely, Craig Taylor Richardson |

Owens Cemetery, Section 11; Owens School, Section 15; Fields School and Cemetery, Section 18; Jones School, Section 24; Hendrickson School, Section 28. Info. in last 2 paragraphs from History of Stone County Missouri, p. 555 written by Leonard E. Carey This is a rather large family, and I have the names and information on some 487 descendants as of this writing. Leonard E. Carey 1989 The Owenses were basically farmers and they became a part of the American Dream. Wherever new land was opened for homesteading, you will find them packing up their belongings and moving on to what they hoped would be a better life. Some found their "Utopia," but others could only see the hardships. From family statements, it is learned that William and his son Elias travelled from Tennessee into eastern Missouri looking for land that they could settled on. They found what they were looking for in Washington Co., MO, and sent word back to Tennessee that the rest of the family should follow them by wagon team. A house was built; crops set in and there was time for increasing the family. It was here that Ann, William B., Daniel, and Mary Dosha were born. This was to be their home for the nexxt 10 years or so. The children attended school in a one-room school house that stands today. It is located at Sunnan Lake, Washington Co., MO. I was fortunate in taking a picture of this building, though it is no longer used as a school Samuel J. Lamkey, a relative of the family, now lives on the old home place. The original house burned, as have three others that were built, so there is little remaining to indicate how it was when William lived there. We can, however, pinpoint the location as being near Ebo, MO. Sometime between the 1850 census and 1852 William moved his family to Newton Co., MO. His son, James Clement Owens, was born at Granby, MO 18 June 1852. Elizabeth and Elias were already married by thistime, and they remained in Washington Co., as did Reuben. I am not sure what happened to Elizabeth, but I have met many of her brother's descendants in Washington Co., MO. Hugh Jefferson Owens was born 15 June 1854, probably at Granby, MO. John Anderson Owens was born 14 April 1856 at Granby, MO, Sometime between 1856 and 1859, William moved his family to Stone Co., MO, His daughter Mahala America Josephine Owens was born in Stone Co., 31 March 1859. It was in Stone Co. that William built their home, a large one-room log cabin. The stove was in one corner and they slept in the other. Mildred Chism Bushnell remembers asking her grandfather, James Clement Owens, why his dad had moved down into southern Stone co. He said, "The fishing and hunting were better. They traded with Indians and the berries and grapes were plentiful. It was a very peaceful life." Daniel, John, and Dilly homesteaded close to their father. James also owned land nearby. James sold his son-in-law land adjoining the school house. As Mildred Bushnell says, "William Owens must have been a pretty nice guy, or he would not have kept his children so close." In keeping with the thought of togetherness, William had the idea of a family cemetery, and such a plot was established in 1881 on about one acre of land that William and Sarah purchased on 5 June 1875, in the southwest corner, Section 11, Range 24W, Township 22N, Stone Co., MO. One of the stipulations in establishing this cemetery was that WJilliam would be the first buried there. He has now been dead and buried over 101 years (he died 15 Jan. 1882). I have been to the cemetery and have pictures of the stones and have the names of most of the people buried there. It is located 9-10 miles east of Hill City (on Highway #39, Barry Co., MO) on the banks of Table Rock Lake, turn right on the first road past the Owens Public Use Area and continue approximately one mile. The only road to thsi cemetery is unmarked and unpaved. The Owens cemetery was established in 1881. Mildred writes, "I remember before Dilly tore down his father's house, Grandmother and I picked baskets of roses and went to the cemetery. She draped flowers on everyone's grave and she would call them by name. We would then visit William King and Sarah Owens' log house just across the road. It had the biggest fireplace I ever saw." Nearby to the cemetery is what remains of the Owens School house. It has not been used for many years, but some of the relatives can tell stories about their teachers and teh lessons they learned there. James Clement Owens donated the seven acres of land, and James F. Banks, husband of Mary Dosha Owens Banks, built the Owens School house. Leonard E. Carey |

| 236 | I00899 | William moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma, ca 1906. His grandson, Tober, remembered seeing his "Grandpap" coming back to Stone county from Tulsa for a visit. He was driving his team and wagon, and Tobe ran down the road to meet him. As boys will do, Tobe was jumping on and off the wagon; and when he tried to jump onto the break, his foot slipped and the wagon ran over him. As he told the story: "I had the lockjaw, and we went over to see Granny Gore, and we had to go through a lot of huckleberry bushes, and when we saw Granny, the first thing she said was 'The first thing I want to see is Granny Gore.' She made me a glass of huckleberry juice, and I took a sip of that - and I went to eating real quick." William B. is known to have worked in Tulsa, Oklahoma, for a brick company during the time bricks were being laid in the streets. He was a foreman for the company and in a position to hire as he wished. Many of the relatives knew where to go when they were looking for work. They are both buried in the Oaklawn Cemetery, Tulsa, Oklahoma. There were no stones erected as of this writing, but their loacation is Block 205, Section 11, N.W.2 and N.W.3. p. 556-557 Leonard E.

Second Row: Gilbert "Gib" and Sarah Jane Owens. Back Row: Arthur Anderson, Andrew Thomas, and William Nathan Owens. Daniel was 11 years old when his father moved the family to Stone County in 1859. He grew to manhood sharing the closeness of a pioneer family living in a one room cabin with a loft and a fireplace at one end. Custom was hinged upon necessisty, and the boys' opportunity for a formal education was limited by the scarcity of schools plus the need to be in the fields when weather permitted. Daniel farmed a quarter section of land in Section 24 of township 22 adjourning property owned by his brother, James. The brothers decided that the river bottom was a bad place to live, and they would move to get away from the "chills" that plagued them yearly. Daniel sold James 40 acres, including the hosue, and moved across the river to a place on the bluff. At this point eh was just four miles north of Baxter. James built further up on his land where the house presently stands. Whenever he referred to the 40 acres purchased, it was known as "Dan Farm." The house was used from time to time by relatives needing a place to stay. Dan bought 80 acres of land from the Missouri Land and Live Stock Co., Limited, of Scotland. Home office: 16 Castle Street, Edinburgh, Scotland. Business office in the United States at Rogers, Arkansas. In addition to farming, and at one time owning a mercantile store in Baxter, Daniel was a Freewill Baptist preacher. There are family stories about Daniel's death that have not been substantiated, of how he was killed. One such story has Daniel preaching at the Jones school house when a man came up to the window and started a disturbance, and Daniel had him put in jail. Sometime later, Daniel was riding his horse home from a meeting and was hit in the head by this man, and left for dead. Cecile Townsend, who later married Bryan Owens, was walking to school and saw a man lying on the road, and she ran to Crittendon and Pansy Owens' house to tell them of what she had seen. Daniel was carried to their home where he remained in a coma for three days before he died. The death certificate states that Daniel died of a concussion of the brain, caused by being thrown from a horse. Daniel died 7 Sept., 1912, William Township, Stone County, Missouri; bd. Owens Cem. Handbills were printed and distributed for the big sale held September 28, 1912.

(See William Nathan Owens for further notes.) p. 562 History of Stone County Missouri His marriage to Cathern Parlee "Kitty" Gore was a double ceremony with his brother Hugh. The 1880 Census lists John as living between his brothers, Daniel and James Owens. he lived close tohis mother-in-law until her death, at the age of 96, in 1917, at teh home of Crittendon and Pansy Owens, across the White River at the Jones settlement, near Lampe, Missouri. She was visiting there prior to her intentions of going up near Jenkins (between Shell Knob and Aurora, Barry County, Missouri) to visit Walter and Kate. John and Kitty moved to Butte County, California, in 1920; and he lived 5 years before his death, 17 Sept., 1925, at Thermal, California. He is buried in the cemetery plot, at Sutter City, California, that his son-in-law, Furman Knight, had purchased at the death of his child. Kitty moved back to Stone County, Missosuri, to live with her daughter, Sara Amanda Knight, until her death 5 March, 1935, at Cape Fair. She is buried at Cape Fair. John and Kitty were the parents of 8 children.

| 244 | I00908 | Perhaps the name has caught your attention, and you wonder where it came from. Sorry, I can be of no help. The 1880 census runs the two names together and appears to be Dilefate. Marriage and probate records list him as D.F. But Dilly Fate is the spelling his daughters used. Maybe the name Dilly stems from the fact he was the last of 14 children and Fate because his Mother was 46 at the time of his birth. But this is another of those questions to have ready when the last trumpet sounds. Dilly was born 24 May, 1872, in Stone Co., MO, to Wm. K. Owens and Sarah Ann McCray. We can assume he had the normal life of any young boy of that time, working on the farm, hunting and going to school. I don't know what education Dilly had but he could read and write. When his father died in January 1882, I am sure after that his life changed with more responsibilities thrust upon him. When his mother Sarah, became ill, Dilly looked for someone to live at the home and help care for Sarah. He found a young woman of the community, Mary Elizabeth Davis (b. 15 Aug., 1865, Miller Co., MO, daughter of John Thompson Davis and Nancy Jane Davis). How long the employer-employee relationship lasted I am not sure, but August 2, 1888, Mary and Dilly were married in Stone County. To this marriage three children were born in Stone Co., MO, as follows: Sarah Naverett Bell Owens, b. 1/27/1890, d. 1/9/1971, in Pryor, OK. She was married 2/28/1909, in Stone Co., MO to John Henry Victory; Dosha Elizabeth Owens, b. 12/4/1891, d. 11/23/1979, in Tulsa, OK. She was married 10/27/1910 in Stone Co., MO, to John Franklin Graves; Charles Weaver Owens, b. 10/20/1893, d. 9/30/1961, in Fayetteville, Arkansas, was first married October 10 1927, Stone Co., MO, to Rosa Francis Strimple. His second marriage, in 1938, was to Julia Grace Shannon King. From accounts of Dosha Owens Graves, they were a happy family with lots of aunts, uncles, and cousins to visit. The Owens School house was a center of activity--school, picnics, and preaching services. Fortunately for many of us the traveling photographer made his way through Stone County in July 1905 and preserved on film one of the last happy days of this small family (see photograph). Only one week after the picture was taken, Mary fell victim to a common disease of that time, dysentery, and died within a week. The heading for the photo is: The Owens family: Charley, Dilly, "Nett", and Dosha, July 1905. Dilly remained a widower till 6 Nov., 1907, when he married in Stone County, Lucy Melissia Francis Taylor, b. 24 Feb., 1883, Stone County, daughter of Geroge W. Taylor and Lonia Jordon. Born to Dilly and Lucy, in Stone Co., MO, were five children as follows: Lee Marshal Owens, b. 5/4/1909, d. 6/4/1968, at Reeds Spring, MO. His first marriage was to Allie Mae Blankenship on 7/17/1931, at Galena, MO; his second marriage was in 1938 to Opal Gardner, and his third marriage was in April, 1953 to Edna Teague. George Farris Owens was b. 3/22/1911, and d. 10/26/1984, Springfield, MO. He was married 6/3/1934 in Barry County, MO, to Alta Mae Lewis. Trude Margaret Owens was b. 8/1/1913, (living in 1988), married Albert Franklin Tilden 3/27/1940 in Stone Co., MO. Florence Owens was b. 11/1/1915, and d. 6/6/1987 in Caldwell, Idaho. She was married 8/19/1936 at Cassville, MO, to Kirby Maxwell. Gladys Leona Owens b. Feb. 8, 1917, d. Jan. 17, 1957, St. Joseph, MO, m. Oct. 3, 1937, Monett, MO, Harold Presley Colboch. Lucy died Nov. 2, 1918, from complications of child birth. She was buried in the Owens Cemetery, one space from Mary David Owens (Dilly was later buried between them). Again Dilly was a widower with five children under the age of nine. Soon Dilly married Alice E. Fly, but the relationship was not long lasting; they were separated at the time of Dilly's death Oct. 2, 1920. Dilly became very ill with stomach pains, and was aware of his impending death and made arrangements for the five children. He didn't feel that either Nett or Dosha could handle any of the chilren; Net had 5 and Dosha 3 at the time. I don't know who all the childdren were raised by, but on a whole they were well taken care of. Dilly was a progressive type of person--he inherited his parents' land and purchased other land. He operated a store and post office at Norwalk. He understood that the way of life was changing in Stone Co. from hunting and farming. Just before his death he had purchased a herd of Jersey cows to start a dairy. After his death the herd had to be auctioned off to settle the bank debt. The land was free of debt, and the court ruled Alice Fly Owens could have use of the land until her death, then the land went to the eight children. When the Table Rock Dam was built, part of the land was covered by water and the remainder sold. I remember the Christmas my grandparents bought me and four cousins new shoes from Sears. For each of the three children they bought a set of "good dishes." One was the Blue Willow pattern, one Roses, and my parents' was Gardenias. I have my Mother's Gardenia set, and one of my sons has already asked to inherit them. So in a way the Owens "land" is still in the family. There are many of Dilly's descendants in the U.S., mainly settling in MO, OK, Idaho, and CA. by Linda Melson Mulkey From: History of Stone County, Missouri p. 532-533.

| 246 | I00913 | MEANING OF SURNAME "OWENS" The Surname Owens means "Son of Owen", the personal name Owen being derived from the old Welch Ewen and ultimately from the Old Greek Euyenee (well born). Early records mention Robertus Filtus Yewn in Warwickshire Pipe Rolls of 1200 A. D.. Nicholas Filtus Owen of Oxfordshire and Richard Filtus Owen of Cambridgeshire in the Hundred Rolls of 1273 A.D. Owen Owens who died in 1593 was a noted eccleastice who held office of Arch Deacon of Anglesy. Among early emigrants from Britain to America were Thomas and Jonathan Owens who are reported in Virginia in 1655. Michael Joseph Owens (1850-1923) was a talented American inventor. Like most of the counties in Middle Tennessee, Maury was settled largely by revolutionary soldiers or their decendents. The population of the county in its early history was largely from North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. North Carolina gave grants to her soldiers for military service in the Revolutionary War. These grants were located mainly in Middle Tennessee from which cause a large number of North Carolina soldiers settled in that part of the state and not a few in Maury County. Santa Fe is near the center of District No. 22. It is one of the oldest settlements in the county. The Indian title having been extinguished north of the river before they were south of it, settlements began there earlier. The following families are said to have settled in the county in 1806: the Cougheons and Brooks on Snow Creek; McLeans, Neelys, Cinders, Griffins, Mitchells, Fitzgeralds, Dotys, Aydelottes, Piggs, Ayers, Bakers, Hills, Todds, Seagraves, Lockharts, OWENS and Emistons. In 1807 came the Reaves, Binghams, Wrens, Hunters, and McCrackens. It is said that Santa Fe was called Pin Hook at first but was changed later to Benton. But on application for post office another change became necessary and it was given its present name of Santa Fe. Reuben Owens Reuben Owens was born in 1785 in Georgia. The family moved into Maury Co., TN, and settled in Dist. #19. Reuben married "Polly" Randall February 9, 1814. The marriage was officiated by Robert Sellers, Justice of the Peace in Columbia, TN. Born to this union were William King Owens, David, Noah B., Rachel Ann, Gilford I., Jemina, Thomas, John, and Martha Ann. William Owens married Margaret Nance February 11, 1832, in Columbia, TN, and four children were born in Maury Co., TN, to this union. Elizabeth: b. Nov. 1832, m. William Cole Aug. 15, 1849, Jefferson Co., MO. Elias "Ike", born May 31, 1834; d. Aug. 1, 1915, Potosi, MO; bd. Shirley Cemetery, Shirley MO; m.

Scott: b. 1839, Kentucky; 6 children. Andrew: b. Oct. 24, 1938, and it is believed that his mother, Margaret, died in TN. Andrew appears in the 1840 Washington Co., MO, census, Harmony Twp, and we lose track of him after that. William King Owens' sister, Rachel Ann, m. Clement Nance May 1, 1938, in Maury County. Clement was a brother to Margaret (Nance) Owens. Huge lead fields were discovered in the rich Mississippi Valley country as early as 1700. This brought abut the migration of emigrants and the settlement of communities such as Potosi, MO. In the years between 1820 and the Civil War, Potosi continued as a dynamic community, prominent in State affairs and center of the mining industry. Court records will verify that Clement and Rachel Ann moved from TN into Washington CJo. in 1839. It is natural that William and his children should make the trip at the same time. The 1840 Washington Co., MO, Census lists William and the four children in Harmony Twp. He had found what he was looking for, and there was promise for the future. Now, all that he needed was a wife to help raise the children and to share in his new found life. William met a young red-headed girl in southern Illinois by the name of Sarah Ann McCray (McRay). They fell in love and planned to marry, but her father did not think it right that a 17 year old girl should marry an old man of 27 with 4 children. Love has a way of winning out, even though it meant running away from home and never seeing her parents again. This was a new beginning--in a new land. A house was built, crops set in, and there was time for increasing the family. The children born here were Anna Isabelle, b. Oct. 29, 1844; William Brantley, b. April 17, 1846; Daniel McCray, b. Aug. 28, 1848; and Mary Dosha Ann, b. Feb. 16, 1850. Sometime between the 1850 census and 1852, William moved his family to Newton Co., MO, leaving Elizabeth, Elias and Reuben in Washington Co., as they had married and were settled in their own homes. Three more children were born to William and Sarah Ann at Granby, MO. They were James Clement, b. June 18, 1852; Hugh Jefferson, b. June 15, 1854; and John Anderson, b. April 14, 1856. A photograph shows Dilly Fate Owens, 15th child of William King Owens, and his mother, Sarah Ann (McCray) Owens. The picture was taken a short time after William's death on January 15, 1882. In 1858, William moved his family to Stone Co., MO, where he built his one room log cabin near the confluence of the James and the White rivers. Here they had four more children: Mahaila, b. March 31, 1859; Drucilla, b. April 25, 1861; Roland, b. April 20,1865; and Dilly Fate, b. May 24, 1872. The information contained herein does not include the families of the first group of children, as they did not live in Stone Co., MO, as far as we have determined. All of the other children grew up in Stone Co. Their families are limited to the children and grandchildren for this account. by Leonard E.

Joseph was first married to an Indian Chieftains daughter. Choutau's were his kinsmen. Another source says it was the Delawares. Grandson Littleberry Dotson says he was born in 1800. JOSEPH PHILIBERT AND PERNINA YOACHUM According to the old St. Louis Church records, Joseph was born February 13, and baptised February 14, 1804. The History of Greene County published in 1883 says Joseph Phillabert (pronounced Fillabare) and William Gilles were traders with the Indians. This was back in the days when the Delaware Indians were there, then Phillabert remained in Greene County when the Indians emigrated to Indian Territory. In a speech about pioneers of Greene County in 1876 he was the oldest of SW Missouri at that time. The Reminiscent History of the Ozarks say Joe Philibert settled at old Delaware Town, Greene Co. in 1822, ten years before a store was opened at Springfield, Missouri. Greene Co. marriages list Joseph Philibert and Peniniah Yoachum on February 26, 1833. In 1837 Taney County was formed from Greene and in 1851 Stone County was formed from Taney. The 1850 census was the first to list members of the household by name, age, where born. Children of this marriage, as deciphered from the census were: Augustus M Born 1835 in Missouri Mary Eliza F Born 1836 in Missouri m Elives Horn Sarah Elizabeth F Born 1839 in Missouri m Thomas Dotson John Jacob M Born 1841 in Missou Charles Edward M Born 1844 in Missouri Josephine M Born 1851 in Missouri m William White William Adolphus M Born 1852 in Missouri Joseph died February 4, 1884. The Probate Court of Stone Co. has heirs: Eliza Mobley, Sarah Dotson, Charles E. Philibert, Josephine White, John Philibert, all residing in Stone Co. and Adolphus Philibert who resides in Nolan Co., Texas. As Inventory: a total of 327 acres of land, 6 cows, 4 heifers, 2 calves, 5 steers, 2 horses, 1 lot shop tools, 1 grind stone, 1 maddox, 1 umbrella, 1 saddle rider, 1 two-horse wagon complete, 1 set harness, 4 plows, 1 lot of corn (60 bushels, more or less), cash on hand $392.50. The administrators of the estate were listed as William White and Thomas Dotson. When the government built Table Rock Dam, thereby inundating this land, they moved a cemetery found there to higher ground and named it the Philibert Cemetary. This is located 18 miles south of Galena, in the area once known as Radical. One of the headstones is inscribed: Joseph Philibert 2-11-1802 - 2-4-1884 Perninia Philibert 1816 - 8- - 1852 INTERVIEW WITH LITTLEBERRY DOTSON, REEDS SPRINGS, MISSOURI, CONCERNING HIS GRANDFATHER, JOSEPH PHILIBERT, JULY 11, 1954. Mr. Dotson, 77 years of age, states the following: Joseph Philibert was born in the year 1800 in St. Louis, Missouri, of French parents, who came to the New World in the 1700's from France. When Joseph Philibert was 15 years of age his father attempted to get him to become a Roman Catholic priest, but Joseph Philibert objected so strongly that his father bound him out until he was twenty-one years old. However, about the time Joseph Philibert was 16 years old, he ran away from the man he was bound to and went to live with the Indians, believed to be the Delaware. A year or so later, Joseph Philibert came to the mouth of James River with a group of Indians who established a camp on the bottom land now embraced by the Lester Loftin farm. Joseph Philibert was the first white man to come to what is now Stone County, Missouri. About 1818 James Yoachum came up White River from the mouth of Little North Fork River and landed at the mouth of James River to establish his ome. Joseph Philibert helped Yoachum unload his boats and family and assisted him in erecting a one-room log cabin on the right bank of James River at the point where James enters White River. While Philibert was unloading Yoachum's boat he was attracted to one of Yoachum's daughters, and made the statement to Yoachum, "Someday I'll marry that girl." A short time later, probably around 1819 or 1820, Joseph Philibert established contact with St. Louis and started an Indian trading post at the mouth of James River. He erected three log buildings; two were due south of the present Philibert cemetery and are where the barn of the Lester Loftin farm is now located. The trading post building was due east of the Philibert cemetery on a terrace between the cemetery and James River. In later years, this trading post building was used as a large smokehouse. At the time Yoachum arrived at the mouth of James River, Philibert was living with an Indian woman and raised a son. However, this woman and her son left with the Indians when they moved to Kansas about 1830. In February 26, 1833, Joseph Philibert married Peninah Yoachum. This marriage was performed by Thomas Henson, a Baptist minister, and was the fifth marriage performed in Greene County, Missouri. Greene County at that time embraced all of Christian, Taney, Stone, Lawrence and part of Barry County. Peninah Yoachum was the daughter of James Yoachum wo had attracted the interest of Philibert a few years earlier. Joseph Philibert and his wife, Peninah, raised seven children, four sons and three daughters, as follows: Sons: Jacob Philibert Daughters: Elisa Philibert Augustus Philibert Elizabeth Sarah Philibert Edward Philibert Josephine Philibert Adolphus Philibert Elisa Philibert was first married to Elivus Horn, he died and she married John Mobley, who died while in the Union Army at St. Louis. Elisabeth Sarah married John Horn, who died, and later married Tom Dotson. Josephine Philibert married a Mr. Van Hook. Mr. Dotson has no information as to who the Philibert sons married. After the Indians left the mouth of James River, James Yoachum entered the land from the government, and Joseph Philibert purchased land from him. Philibert later purchased what is known as the Fossett farm at White Rock Bluff on White River between the mouth of Schooner Creek and White's Branch. Philibert also owned the trading post, he freighted in ox wagons and canoes from Springfield, Rolla and St. Louis. Philibert is described as medium in size with black hair and black eyes. He was very gracious to his neighbors, and is said to have killed 30-40 head of hogs and one beef each winter and helped feed his neighbors in adverse conditions. Dotson has no information about the Yoachum Dollar, but recalls his aunt, Elisa Philibert Mobley, stating in later years that she knew what the molds were that the Yoachum Dollars were cast in. Littleberry Dotson is a tall angular man with curly greying black hair and dark eyes. Marvin E. Tong, Jr. 7/15/54 From the files of Barbara Moore Deakins: Among the white men amidst the Indians were two who arrived about the time of the big influx of the Delawares. They were fur traders licensed by the government to serve the Indians living along the water courses of upper White Rivers. One was a Frenchman named Joseph Philibert. The trading post of Philibert and Gilliss was established near the confluence of the James and White Rivers. Early accounts fail to mention it's name, but it may have been called Saline, a result of being an important salt market. Saline appears on early crude maps. Joseph Philibert remained in the upper White River region after the Delawares departed for their new lands in Kansas. He took an active part in the social and political affairs in Greene, Stone and Taney Counties. He served the cause of the Union in the War of Rebellion and the people of Stone County as one of their first judges of the County Court (white River Historical Quarterly, Vol. 2. No.2, p.7. He reportedly married a lady of Indian descent and lived his life out in Stone County. He was buried in an old cemetery on the banks of White River near his old trading post. His body was exhumed about 1958 and reburied in a new cemetery as a result of the creation of Table Rock Lake. ....from the article "Indians of the Ozark Plateau" by Ingenthron |
| 250 | I00919 | A newspaper called THE THURSDAY ADVERTISER, April 14, 1983 on page 3B printed the following article. JUNE 10-11 LAKEVIEW TO HOST YOCUM RENDEZVOUS Aurora - A southwest Missouri town, Lakeview, is inviting members of the Yocum family to a rendezvous June 10-11, and according to Leroy Armstrong of Aurora there are many in this area who are eligible to attend. "There are dozens...living in and around Aurora that are direct descendents of the first Yocums to settle in what is now Stone County," Armstrong said. A few of the family names are: Atkisson, Armstrong, Dummit, Robbins, Kenyon, Williams, Payne, McAnnaly, Lemaster and McKinley. Armstrong urged members of these families to "gather up your notepads, tape recorder, old family pictures and did up all the family history you can and come to the rendezvous. This is a unique event and here is a press release explaining the background: "Whether the name is apelled Yokum, Yocum, Yoachum or Joachim, the Southwest Missouri town of Lakeview, in cooperation with the Indian Point Chamber of Commerce and the Kimberling City Table Rock Lake Area Chamber of Commerce invites members of the Yocum Family and their relatives to attend the Yocum Family Reunion. Every single Yocum in the world from Who's Who to Who's Not is invited to pack vacation bags and head for Southwest Missouri. It is estimated that at least 500,000 people qualify. "Lakeview, Missouri, is a small village in Stone County, located near Table Rock Lake and three miles west of Silver Dollar City, the Ozarks version of Disney World. "The first white man to settle in Stone County was one James Yoachum. He and other members of the Yoachum family built log cabins in the early 1800's and lived here in what is now the town of Lakeview. "What is even more interesting and intriguing about this story is that these Yoachums had a silver mine and made their own money, the Yocum Silver Dollar. "A recent find of 7 of these Yocum coins in a cave near Branson, Missouri, has excited the interest of many Southwest Missourians. One of these coins will be on display at the Yocum Family Rendezvous. Learn how the Yoachums were able to keep the secret of the mine location. "All Yocum descendants are to be honored guests at the Grand Opening of the Lost Silver Mine Outdoor Drama. This is a historic re-enactment about the Yoachums, the first white men who came into Ozark Mountain Country. These courageous pioneers came here about 1800 and carved a place to live in the wilderness and a place in the pages of history forever. The Yocum Silver Mine Story, to be seen played out under the stars, is a dramatization of the book, "Traces of Silver," a history of the early 1800's in Ozark Mountain Country. "The Family Rendezvous date is June 10-11. The area's motels, restaurants and crafts shops will be offering special discounts to all Yocums. Registration to be in Silver Square at the north edge of Lakeview across from the Lost Silver Mine Farm. Here at the Farm, pioneers harvested the timber to build their cabins and then later to sell as railroad ties. Cattle and deer still graze along the mountain tops as they have for generations.

In 1983 there were 225 Yocum Family descendants present and over 150 in 1984. All enjoyed the fellowship and sharing of information on their descendanats. Many have indicated they will be returning next year. They came from Tennessee, Oregon, Georgia, Indiana, Ohio, Louisiana, California, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri and Texas. On Saturday night of the reunion, Yocum family members attended the LOST SILVER MINE OUTDOOR DRAMA. This drama is based on the Yocum family who were the first white settlers in this area during the 1800's. They obtained a silver mine and minted the Yoachum Silver Dolar which was dated 1822. If you are ever in this area, stop by to say hello and look at some of the information we have on display in the Welcome Center. There are 81 different spellings of Yocum, Yoakum, Yocam, Yokem, Yochuj, Yokum, Yoachum, etc. so you are probably descended from this family.
