This is and update from my last query. I am still looking for the parents of Susan COLLIER. She was born in Jan. of 1844 in Kentucky, but must have moved to Saline Co. with her family, because on Nov. 13, 1864, at the age of 20, she married Philander GIBBONS in Saline Co. I do know that her parents names were John and Susan K. COLLIER. Does anybody know of any information on these people? I have SPRADLEY, GIBBONS, COLLIER and ULREY information to share with anybody who is wants it. Thanks --

I am searching for information about ancestors - some of whom lived in Saline County. In particular I would like information on EDWARDS, William Jefferson (1842-1913). He left wife Mary A.

ERWIN, LYON, MONROE, WOLFSKILL posted by Randal Dinehart on Monday, December 1, 1997
In a family Bible owned by my wife's Uncle Horace W. WOLFSKILL (Saline Co., born abt. 1910), we have found a list of ERWIN names going back to the late 1700's. Also in the uncle's collection are tintypes and photos owned by Hannah Susan ERWIN who married William Barney WOLFSKILL around 1880. Other family members born in 1850s include Rhoda Belle MONROE and George T. LYON. Finally, we found a paste scrapbook of newspaper obituaries from the late 1800's for Saline County. I have constructed a pedigree from W.B. WOLFSKILL to present. If there is any genealogical work already prepared for these people or any interest in the data, please contact.

EDWARDS, FISHER, MOON posted by Malcolm Swan on Monday, December 1, 1997
My grandmother, Mary Susan FISHER (nee. EDWARDS) owned a farm in Saline County beginning 1913, and sold it about 1966. We want to learn how she happened to obtain the property - believing that would lead us to her father (William Jefferson EDWARDS) , or her deceased mother's (Sarah Catherine MOON) parents. Is there anyone in Saline County willing to check this out at the courthouse and report back relative to the land and probate records for time around 1913. Anything found would be most appreciated. Many Thanks -

TRENT posted by Pat Adams on Tuesday, December 9, 1997
I am researching Saline County records on my great-grandfather, William H. TRENT, and his family. He was born (approx.) Nov. 1849 in Virginia (exactly where is unkown at this time) and migrated to Saline County, Missouri during the Civil War. He is shown in the 1870 census as a farm worker in Miami Township, Saline County, Missouri. I do not know the name of his wife, but his children included my grandfather, Henry W. Trent born May 3, 1886 in Saline County (most likely Marshall), Missouri. Other children may include Helen Trent (b. January 1883), Fletcher Trent (b. May 1880), Laura Trent (b. September 15, 1879), Frank Trent (b. June 18, 1873) and Kate Trent (birth date unknown). My grandfather always spoke of Marsahall, Missouri as his "home town," so I assume this is where the majority of the Trent children were born and/or raised. I'm hoping there is someone interested in doing research for a marriage record for William H. Trent and death records on William H. and his wife which would, hopefully, provide information on their birth dates, places of birth and, in turn on their parents. Birth records for the children listed above, newspaper records of births and deaths, tax records, etc. would also be very helpful. If you are interested, I can be reached by E-mail or by telephone at (718) 469-4032.
