| 3601 | Letter from Adeline mentions "Mary Ford's out in Iowa" Letter from Adeline mentions "your Uncle Will"; I believe this letter was written to Cora Emma ROUSH. Possibly it refers to a Will CUNNINGHAM, who might have been Cora's mother's brother? There was a Wilson CUNNINGHAM early in Howell Co. Could it have been him? 1870 census - found a W.H. BURNHAM in the 1910 Calloway Co MO census, with wife A.D., parents b KY., I was hopeful this was them, but checked the 1880 census for Calloway Co, and found the wife's name to be Angie, not Addie or Adeline. Eliminated as a possibility. From a look-up volunteer re Gove Co KS census ------------------------------ I have transcribed both the 1880 and 1900 Gove county census. I am sorry to report that the Burnham family does not show up on either census. In the other references I have there is one small reference to Burnham. I will quote the reference so that you can see it isn't much. "In the year 1884, father [father is William Blackwill] put up the first windmill, erected in Collyer for the purpose of grinding feed. It was a Holliday with a large twelve foot wooden wheel and built on the ground which Pete Meier now owns. It was used for a year to grind feed, although the Kansas winds were hard on it. Along with this mill, father ran an implement store, selling mowing machines, breaking plows and so forth. He sold more breaking plows than anything else. I remember one time when he got half a carload of mowing machines, and Burnham took the other half. ..." From this I would guess that Burnham also sold farm implements. Since Collyer is in Trego County, just east of Gove County, maybe your family can be found there. I'm sorry there wasn't more. Clark | Cunningham, Adaline D. (I1674)

| 3603 | Letter from Lavada FINDLEY to her sister in Georgia, Mary D. HOLT: "Dear Sister, "I take my pen in hand to let you know that I am still in the land of the living, though many miles from you. Sis, I traveled 60 days. I crossed mountains, hills, rooks, large rivers, creeks, and branches. I came through towns and cities. I had snow, rain, hail and sleet more or less all the way here. I camped one one week in this state on ---- Creek. It rained on us all the time we stayed there. Water and mud were shoemouth deep. I came on to Mr. Williams' in this state. I stayed in my tent three days in the rain and snow. We were aiming to go to the Indian Nation or to Nebraska. We thought we would stop till spring, so Mr. Findley looked about and got a school house. We started to it through the snow, eight miles. There we stayed about four weeks. Mr. Findley found a place that suited him. He went and bought it. He was gone two weeks. Sis, I slept and ate on the ground floor over three months. "Sis, I can not tell you much about the country. I have been here four months. I have not been out of sight of my house but one time since I have been here. From what I can see and learn, the land is good and productive as anyone need to want. It lies in hills and valleys. The hills are rocky and covered with grass and blackjack. There is some other timber. The valleys are the good land. Running water is scarce here. There are several good springs at the head of this valley. I came through Tennessee, Kentucky, and Illinois to Howell County in this state. I think I will be satisfied if we can have our health. People look well here, and they tell us it is healthy here. We have good well water. It washes well. I don't think I will lack for water. Some have to haul water in summer here. They are careless about their wells in this country. They will dig one and throw some poles over it and let it stand for years. There is a better chance to get a good home here than in Georgia. Land is cheaper and chance to enter or homestead. "Sis, our place is bad out of fix. There is a heap of work to do. The land is not much to clear; shrub off the largest bushes and hitch two or three yoke of oxen to a large plow and tear it all to smash. We have a good chance for a crop. It was dry here last year. The drought was from Georgia here. "Sis, I must tell you something about my children. I have got as pretty baby as you ever saw. It is seven weeks old. Its name is Alfred Webb. The rest are all well and growing fast. Sam has grown and is as well as I ever saw him at this season of the year. They send you howdy. I am not very stout, though improving. "Sis, I want you to read this letter to all the rest of my brothers and sisters. I want you all to go to old Ebenezar to meeting and visit those graves. Look at my baby's for me as I never saw it. I never shall forget that place. Notice my little cedars and write to me how they all look. Ann, I want you and Jim to write. John, you and Lou write. Bob, I want you to write how you are getting along and what you have done with the Neals. Tell Taylor and Columbus to write. "Now don't fail. It is all the pleasure I ever expect to enjoy in this life with any of you without a mere accident. Sis, read it to all the connections on Tieanetly. I want them all to write. Give me all the news of your country. Give my love to all inquiring friends. Now Sis, I want you and John to write. Don't fail. I have not heard a word from you since I left. "So I close. Farewell to Mary D. Holt and John." Lavada M. Findley [found online at http://www.angelfire.com/biz/finleyfindings/VOL1.html | Findley, William A. (I3482)

| 3604 | Letters from George Hayden to Emeline Cunningham regarding the estate distribution of Jane Hammond refer to Jane as "your Aunt Jane Hammon." The will of George McClure, father of Emeline's mother Martha Hayden, names his children--among them a daughter 'Jane.' It is likely that Jane was the daughter of George McClure and a sister to Emeline's mother Martha (Hayden) Cunningham. | [Inknown], (I4086)
