SADEWHITE posted by Michael D. Sadewhite, Sr. on Tuesday, January 6, 1998
I am very interested in finding out anything I can about the SADEWHITE's around the Marshall, Mo. area. My Grandmother was Julia Sadewhite, who was the first female Rural Route mail person in the nation. She started in about 1918, when her husband John died. She lived in Marshall, Shackelford and Blue Lick. She was the daughter of Dennis Desmond. What we are trying to do is find out about John, her husband, where he came from, who were his relatives (Sadewhite)? We heard about a split in the family when he married Julia. And an earlier split in the family during the Civil War when one son fought for the North and another fought for the South. Several relatives (cousins and their sons and daughters) still live in the Marshall area, but, they know as littlle as I do about the Sadewhite line prior to about 1900. Many thanks for any help you might be able to provide.

I am researching my father's family from the Saline County, Mo. area. My father was Ralph Eugene KING. He was born in Nelson, Mo. Jan 19, 1920. His father was James Houston King born Oct 24, 1897. He married Bessie Mildred BERLIN, who was born March 3, 1895. His parents were William Riley King (1857-1921) and Laura Bell SNAPP (1860-1944). My grandfather's siblings were as follows: Nora Agnes (1880-1969) m. Earnest PHILLIPS; Margaret May (1882-1948) m.Harry STRONG; George Watson (1883-1950) m. Pearl Alma DYE; John William (1885-1939) m. Iva LONG; Ollie Oleta (1887-1962) m. Ben Lakin; Carrie Ellen (1889-1908); Joe Arthur (1891-1958) m. Velma WILSON; Simon Roy (1893-1957) m.

When I was a kid we came to Marshall to visit Nat and Bea Berlin, Clyde and Minnie Alfrey, Chet and Verona Kintz, Willis and Metabel Alfrey, and Simon and Geneva King. I have a fair amount of information on the King descendants, but very little about the Berlins or the Hubbards. So would like to hear from anyone who knows of them.

DIAMOND, JOHNS posted by Gary J. Vincent on Friday, February 27, 1998
My maternal grandfather, Thomas Jefferson DIAMOND, was born April 13, 1880, in Wingham, Huron County, Ontario, Canada. In April 1898, at the age of 18, he immigrated to Sweet Springs, Saline County, MO. He worked for the Sweet Springs Milling Co. as a flour miller apprentice for two years. In June 1900, he moved to Charleston, MO, where he worked for the Charleston Milling Co. When he immigrated, he used as a reference Thomas Jefferson JOHNS, whom I believe to be his uncle (his mother's maiden name was Johns). Johns resided in Sweet Springs in 1898, but I do not know whether he was a US citizen at the time. It is possible that Johns was also in the milling business. I would be interested in learning whether Thomas Jefferson Johns may have settled in or near Sweet Springs, and whether he had any family there. This information may help me establish the ancestry of my grandfather's mother, which is currently a complete mystery.
