Hi!
I can't recall who wanted to see a photo of MARY A. (SHIPMAN) FERGUSON and
TOM C. FERGUSON. She was my grandfather's sister. My grandfather was JOHN
WESLEY SHIPMAN. I also have a photo of JOHN scanned. He is seated with his
wife, LAURA ELLEN (STRINGER) SHIPMAN. Let me know.

Hi!
I am researching the Shipman family in Newton County and know that my great
grandmother ELIZABETH ANDERSON SHIPMAN was an herbalist and midwife assistant
to a "Doc Wood" or "Woods." Does anyone know if there is a hill or where
there is a hill in Granby that used to be called Doc Wood's Hill? Know
anything about getting any info on him? I'd like to try to get some more
information on his practice and maybe more concerning my great grandmother, wh
o she helped, or anything about her!
I'll take any

Linda & Deb,
The address of the cemetery is 20320 Elm Dr. Deb, Linda has the directions
right; here's the street names to compliment them. N. Main Street going N
out of Granby changes to "E" Hwy. Continue north 4.5 miles to Elm Dr., which
is dirt. Turn left or W and you will only go about 3/4 of a mile. If you get
to Pelican Rd, you missed it. There are 2 large flagpoles at the cemetery. A
friend says there are some extremely old tombstones there.

P.S. Current street names and directions I can giv
Jan, my Kincannon family left the Granby area after the 1860 census. I
think becuz of the war. They went to KS and then to Texas for the 1870
census. You might try OK territory or KS, if they don't show up in Newton
Co

Unfortunately, none of those names sound familiar. My Brewer family was from
Tennessee and married into the Bell family. They moved to Newton Co., MO in
1860s. Minnie Olive Brewer married an Orasha Smith.
Thanks for responding, if I find a connection, I'll contact you.

Could anyone please help me locate or determine how I can get a copy of a
book which I believe was published about 1984 and is about Granby, MO. I
believe it was compiled by Dixie Haase and its title is something like:
Granby, The Oldest Mining Town In The Midwest
I understand that there is a chapter in it about Doc Woodcock. Now that I
know and recall right where his house is in Granby, I know also know that my
great grandparents lived right across the road from him!!! (DANIEL SHIPMAN
AND ELIZABETH
One of my relatives was called Doc.(Woodcock).There is a place called
Woodcock hill.An old house still is standing there.A tornado came through and
leveled the place.It was is Granby which is in Newton County.Granby Memorial
Cemetery is in Granby and there is also an Old Granby Cem.(Very Old)Sometimes
on the listings I have gotten it is called OOIF cem.I wish I knew Docs name
because he is related to my George M Woodcock(great grandpa)
Can anyone tell me where the "Old Shiloh Schoolhouse" was in Ritchey?
It must have burned down a long, long time ago as it wasn't there in
1955 when momma took us home. I remember she pointed at a clump of
trees and said, "That's where the Old Shiloh Schoolhouse was." That was
also where we turned off the road and drove up a just a little way and
stopped at the "old Corner homestead" which had also been torn down.
There was only a well and a huge lilac tree. Wen we left there, we went
up a slight hill to

Brenda,
I didn't notice anyone telling you about Neosho's street system. It is
VERY unorderly and many of the streets are only a couple of blocks long.
I recently visited Neosho a few times and the one thing that helped me
most was to stop at a real estate agency and ask for a map. The Newton
County Sheriff's office also has maps. If you can get a map from
MapQuest, or another server online, it would give you a good start, but
don't depend on it. The online maps aren't quite complete. The
Sheriff'
It seems like there are some new listers, so I thought I would post my surnames that are associated with Newton County:
BLACK, BRUST, COLLINS, OTIS, SCOTT and SILER. My gggrandmother, Mary Jane EAST FUGATE SCOTT, married a BAKER, DOTSON and TUDOR (all from Newton County), after my grandfather, Charles SCOTT, died in 1863. A distant aunt, Caroline COLLINS, married into the STINSON family.
Any information would be very helpful.

Thanks to everyone who posted to me concerning finding the book with the info
about Doc Wood!
I can actually remember the hill now, although I have no memory of the house
across the road where my great grandmother who assisted him lived. Somehow I
have got to get a vacation back there (with a suitcase full of film)!!!!
I am now on a mission to use this little computer to shop for my very own

Hello Brenda!
Welcome in advance to the beautiful Ozarks! Neosho is not that large of a
town, so when you arrive, you can ask about anyone for directions to the
library. There is a separate genealogy room that is ran by some really fine
ladies that I can promise you will be of some help to you. They will point
you in the right direction.
The address to the library is 201 W. Spring St., and is 1 1/2 blocks west of
the courthouse and square. The genealogy room phone is 417-451-4231. There
is also a historic
