GIDEON
GIDEON---family and town
I am researching the GIDEON family and I know that one of my
ancestors spent some time in GIDEON, Missouri. He helped start
what I was told was called the GIDEON/ANDERSON Box Company that
was there for many years. Many years ago my father contacted
someone there in GIDEON and they sent him some wonderful
information on the town and the above company. But we had a
fire and lost everything and I am now trying to recoup all the
of the lost information. The fire was before the time of
computers etc. so there were not copies floating around. Times
change for the best in gerenalogy terms! If anyone can tell me
where to find information, or if they have any information on
the Town or the GIDEON family that spent a short time there I
would deeply appreciate it. Thank you in advance----Jackie

in
Kentucky, had Rucker in Missouri so it sounds like they were on
the move
quite abit. Rucker Tanner married a Sarah ? abt 1823 (but I
don't know
where) and moved on to Hempstead Co. AR. He died in AR in 1829.
Any

County early

TROTTER
My ancestor David Trotter was killed by Indians in 1802
in New Madrid.
David Trotter was a proven settler acc. to the Am. State papers
with
permission of the Spanish or French Govt then in power and his
heirs and
ch. rec'd land when it was finally settled with the U.S., I
think abt
1812.The doc. written in French states that David Trotter came
from KY and
owned land in KY. Further research showed me that he was from the
Fayette/Bourbon Co KY Trotter family that came from Augusta Co.
VA.
Trotter may have had a trading post, but that was not stated. I
just wonder how he could sell liquor if he didnt have a store. I
have the dimensions of the
house and what was on the first and the second floor. He had
sold liquor
to Indians previously and was told by the other inhabitants not
to do it
again. When the Indians arrived at his house, he told them that
he was not
allowed to sell them liquor and they killed him. Some of the
Indians were
captured and one of them was shot, Tewaneye. This was done with
the permission of Indian chiefs, Chief Agypousetchy and chief
Kaskaloua, who took the other killers into custody to mete out
their own punishment. There are other accounts of David
Trotter's murder and the subsequent law that was passed because
of it.

WALLACE
I am looking for any information on a John WALLACE who
lived in Parma,
New Madrid County, Missouri. He had a son, James Wallace, who
was born
about 1915, so John would have to have been born before 1895 or
so. I
have no other information on John Wallace
