Dear Rhonda,
I have scanned, in addition to the ones I mentioned
to you, the genealogy of Sina Sharp who was married to Sgt. David
Tombs, as well as that of Agnes Ballew who was married to John
Walter Bayse.
I know that a book on the Bayse Family is at the
Louisiana, Pike Co., MO Library, because that is where I found it, got
the genealogy bug, and contacted the son of the author, Otto Bayse.
I had an unbelievable feeling of deja vu at the
library, which I found was located on the very spot that John Walter
Bayse built his first home.
I probably have more on the Bayse Family than any
other, so have not even looked on your website for him. Will do
so, and send anything that is missing, and might seem appropriate.
The Ballew journey has been the most interesting,
and as a former English teacher, I researched it as if for a novel I
hoped to someday write. (He was definitely my black sheep!)
Alas, this is not to be, but I did provide a lot of
information to others who are researching and writing about him, and
will be happy to share whatever anyone in Pike Co. finds of interest.
I also have the complete lineage of Arough Trout
back to Germany, (which includes Boogher/Bucher/ Read/ Christ) and
all that is known so far about her husband, Robert Mix. They
had Isabella Virginia Mix who married Pvt. Daniel Anders.
They had Laura Belle Anders who married James
William Tombs, son of Samuel Alexander Tombs and America Susan
Whitledge, with her sister Sara Whitledge Doyle, as his stepmother,
all of Pike Co. MO.
Also would share this, though these people are
buried in Sanger, Fresno Co.CA.

Dear Rhonda,
I do have records, copies, etc. but am hoping that people with specific questions will ask for them, because I will never be able to organize it all
physically.
The Mix Research is being done by a man who contacted me many years ago. He was still active on Gen Forum the last time I looked, and has not yet solved our Robert Mix puzzle. (Sorry I can't remember his name, and he does not include it with this research.)
Pvt. Daniel Anders served in the Civil War and I have his records. He was in a prison camp on Pea Patch Island in Delaware (Fort Delaware) for over a year. I went there and marvel at how he
survived. He was in a couple of others before then, and managed to escape.
His younger brother, Philip, also served.
Please send me questions, or requests for anything that is of interest.
Pat King
