Research and source notes: Deborah Sweet - 3X Great-Granparents
1) From: Sandra Cooley:; 11/26/2001: Sandy has
my eternal gratitude. Once again, I am inawe of the generosity of other
researchers, and their willingness to help others out. If not for her, it
would probably have taken me several more years to find Cinderella's
parents.
[I had inquired about Lucinda (Larkin) Weston,my 2X Great. Have
since discovered that her first name is actually Cinderella. Here is
Sandy's reply:]
"Here is your info on Lucinda. Your Lucinda md. James W. Weston. Her
parents were George W. Larkin b. 2/15/1813, d. 8/1/1870 bur. Miner Cem.,
Doss, Dent Co. MO. He was killed in Dent Co. MO by Tom Wardenwith a
knife. The first murder case to be held in Dent. Co. George was md. to
Elizabeth J. Strobaugh [act. Stobaugh, but was prob. originally STOVALL
inKY; d.sweet] They had 9 children:
Isaiah b. 3/3/1843 near Valles Mines, Jefferson Co. MO d.1933 bur Miner
Cem
John R. b. 2/25/1835 Allen Co. KY d. 3/30/1924 Dent Co. bur New Hope Cem.
Salem, Dent Co
[These are all the children that Sandra knew of although she knows
there were 9 total. I have found all thenames, as shown in the body of
this work, and am still trying to track theirdescendants! IF you can
help....]
George later md. a woman by the first name 'Lonad' [The census shows her
to have been named ODEAL. nee unknown. Sandragot the name Lonad from the
"Ozark Heritage" book, which stated George md. a'Lonad' after Elizabeth,
who had d.1853, Jeff. Co.] They had:
Luther "Doc"b. 12/5/1855 Jefferson Co. MO d. 1/24/1899 bur Cedar Grove
Cem, Salem, Dent Co
Alex b. 8/1861 Dent Co. d. 7/13/1939 Eminence, Shannon Co. MO. He lived
inJoplin and worked at Zinc mining. Later returned and bought a farm in
Shannon Co. MO
Lucinda [Cinderella] was the daughter of George and 'Lonad' [Odeal][Odeal
& Geo. also had 9 children, also as shown in body of this work. d.sweet]"
2) NOTES: I think that George was b. in Hardin Co., KY, poss. Little York
Twp., and that the family moved to Allen Co. KY, poss. after the death of
thefather, William.
George's wife Elizabeth's name is probably Stovall, not Stobaugh
[even though it appears as Stobaugh in the blurb on Isaiah - see his
notes], as there is a marriage record in Allen Co. for George Larkin and
Elizabeth Stovall. There is a Thomas B. & Nancy (Franklin) Stovall family
in Allen Co. KY who had a daughter Jane, though Stovall fam. info says
Thomas d.1825, but Nancy is alone, as the Head of Household on the 1820
census. If ThomasB. is ours, and was the h. of Nancy, and f/o Elizabeth
Jane, and died bef. 1820, then the last two children the Stovall fam.
info gives either had to be born earlier than they think, or are not
related (unknown Stovall, b. abt 1821...in TN maybe; Thomas B. Stovall,
Jr. b 1822 in ....TN maybe - this dob would be impossible, further, they
give a POSS. son, David, as b. Oglethorpe, GAabt 1814. Of course, I
could be looking at the wrong Thomas & Nancy Stovall.
There were 3 hits for Stobaugh fams. on the 1830 KY census, one of
which, John, was in Hopkins Co., and so would seem to be out of the
running, althoughthere was a female in the household who was ae. 10 to
under 15, and would seem to be just a tad too young to be our Elizabeth
Jane. The other two Stobaugh fams. are loc. in Lawrence Co., which is WAY
east, next to VA., so would also seem to be out of the running.
George's parents may have been William and Elizabeth (Washer?)
Larkin. It is known that there was a Cinderella Larkin, parents not
given, b.1811, Hardin Co.KY, mar. Thomas Florence. This was probably
George's sister, hence George naming a daughter of his own, Cinderella.
The people who listed the Florence line, when contacted originally, did
not think George was connected. However, since finding
