Sharing My Journey

I've enjoyed exploring my family genealogy for many years but as a retiree, I've been able to devote more time to this hobby.  As a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, it is always fun to find a new Patriot in one's family tree.  I have found over a dozen currently on both sides of my family.*  Unfortunately, in the pursuit of these Patriots, I haven't always taken the time fill out my trees like I should.  It is now a goal to do more comprehensive research, filling in siblings and sharing the stories that make these ancestors interesting and relevant.  Since there are photos, documents and artifacts, using this format will hopefully make it easier to archive and share these with others. As with all genealogy, the work is never complete.  Sometimes we accept information as accurate that we later discover to be in error.  I will be sharing my research here and provide documentation as proof but if you find anything that you believe to be...

James H Clark and Urcelia Katherine (Kate) Williams Clark

James H Clark and Urcelia Katherine Williams Clark were my maternal great-grandparents.  James was born in Lincoln County, Missouri on 9 July 1840 to William Clark and Eleanor Ervin.  He was the oldest of three children.  His siblings were Nancy Jane (who married Daniel Boone Martin in 1863) and David Clark (who died at the age of 14 in a hunting accident).  His mother died in 1853 when James was 12 years old.  He and his sister, Nancy Jane were listed in his grandfather Ervin's probate record as grandchildren. James's name appears on the U.S. Civil War Draft Registration Records for the Fifth Subdistrict in Lincoln County, Missouri in 1863.  However, his obituary stated that he joined Price's Army when the Civil War broke out.  Troy Free Press  Troy, Missouri, Mar. 27, 1903; vol. XXV, No. 14, pg. 4 Sterling Price was a former governor of Missouri and influential figure.  Although he publicly supported the Union and opposed succession by Miss...

Sallie Mae Groshong Brown

  Sallie Mae was my mother's oldest sister.  She was born December 13, 1906 in rural Troy, Missouri.  I was fortunate to be gifted some of her personal items after her only daughter, Marion, passed away.  As Marion and her husband, Loyd, had no children, he wanted the items to stay with her family.  When I was able to look through these items I was surprised and delighted to find a sort of time capsule of her early life!  Aunt Sallie Mae was a kind, practical and intelligent woman and one of my very favorite relatives.  She loved telling family stories and sharing bits of wisdom.  She was also one who met her challenges with grace and acceptance and always persevered.  Here is her story.  I hope I do her justice. I included this rough draft as it was with her other pages and it includes a few other details. As Sallie Mae mentioned her teaching career, she said she taught at several different schools in Lincoln County....
