Thank you to all who answered my query about the church and cemetary near Braymer and Tinney's Grove MO. I was looking for the grave of Nancy J Moore (wife of Tilford Moore). Many of those on this list (and the Ray and Carroll lists) wrote to offer suggestions for places to look. So I thought I would send in my success story..

A REALLY big thanks to Fred Wood of CemPhoto WorkShops (www.cemphoto.com/) who actually went out to the Tinney's Grove Cemetary and located the stone (it had not been on prior published lists--probably because it was half buried and broken) and sent me pictures. It was really great to correspond with Fred --I located him through the 1860 census that gave me his gggrandparents name (Teavault) and and some family records that indicated his gggrandparents were neighbors and friends of Tilford and Nancy Jane Moore. In corresponding with Fred I also discovered that his gggrandparents had named a son for Tilford Moore---something that didn't show up in later census records because deaths in the family led to children being placed in other homes.

So, I urge you all to hang in there and explore every lead...

Thanks again for your help---

Jackie Jardine-Moore
