Joseph LAFERNAIT died in 1824 in New Madrid County and in his
will Richard J. WATERS was appointed guardian for Joseph's minor
children. I believe Stephen D. LAFERNAIT b. 1814 and James
Monroe LAFERNEY b. 1818 were two of those children. I have
checked Joseph Lafernait's probate file at the New Madrid Court
House but have not been able to find any other record to tie
the three names together. Are there any records of Richard J.
WATERS available that might contain the connection?
Joseph LAFERNAIT married Margaret POURCELLY in New Madrid
territory in 1796. Joseph died in New Madrid County in 1824
leaving a wife Mary LAFERNAIT and minor sons and daughters.
Mary LAFERNAIT married John PASQUIN about 1826. Looking for
marriage record of Mary ? to Joseph LAFERNAIT around 1812. Also
looking for information about the parents of Stephen Decatour
LAFERNEY and of James Monroe LAFERNEY. Are there any church
marriage records for New Madrid county for this time perioid? I

CO from Ripley CO, IN, was killed by wolves in 1835, leaving a
widow,
Ellen, and 3 small daughters, Elizabeth, Mary J., and Rebecca.
If he is the man I want him to be, his daughter Elizabeth
married a Wm.
Hamilton Branscomb in Mississippi CO, MO in 1845. Later she
migrated to

were
cousins of Wm. Hamilton and also moved to AR. Ellen may have

I understand that his mother was a widow(my great grandmother)
by the

work for
the railroad when he was 12 or thirteen to support his mother and
sisters. I seem to recall that my great grandfather was a "high"

grandfather's middle name--Le Valle--was his mother's maiden
