This body of work has taken 35 years of record searching in courthouses, interviews with living relatives, cemeteries, microfilm reading of census records, deeds and most important of all…libraries from the local town library to the National Archives, resources gathered from all over Missouri and Tennessee.

I have had help from many researchers sharing their research over the years with the intent that one-day, I would be able to compile and share what was found with others seeking their family histories. It is with great pleasure I am able to share this accumulative descendant research in this comprehensive volume of work.

Please make copies of this file for future preservation. I am the only one who knows how to create a book of this caliber.

It is and always has been my desire to share what I have found with others so they may use our research as a springboard to launch their family histories. Only through knowing our ancestors…can we know ourselves. Floyd Thomas Pratt F.H.C., M.A.G.I. 2010
