Here is data I have on these towns - some derived
from this e-mail of yours:


Hunter's Ford (historical) - Located in the NW corner of Jefferson county on the
Meramec River across from Franklin County. (New Atlas of Mo., 1874, Campbell, Map
#29.) Located on the Meramec R. just a little W of Eureka. Hunter's Ford road goes
down to the river access at the Allenton Bottoms.


Quinette (historical) - Located in central Bonhomme Twp north of the Meramec River,
where Quinnette road and Big Bend road meet near the town of Valley Park. Located
near Valley Park on Big Bend road near the Tree Court Industrial park.


St. Stephens (historical) - Located in southern Meramec Twp, near Allenton Missouri,
west of Eureka, back on the horseshoe road that leads to the Allenton River Access at
the top of the hill. Lat/long given is for Saint Stephens Church, which is shown on
the 7.5' Pacific topo.

Sandy Bridge Post Office (historical) - I've been looking for
information on this one. Thanks alot. I put it just a little west of
Goldman, which may be very close. This is north of Hillsboro.
But if anybody has more accurate information, let me know.



Mike
