Thanks for this information. Now I'm curious as to who this S. N. Farris may be in Reynolds Co., MO. Remember, Benjamin married Laura Farris who is believed to be the sister of Lucian Farris of Reynolds Co., MO.

As I mentioned before. I have so much info on Benjamin Talbott I have even given a talk on him for our genealogical society, stating that I probably knew more about him than his wife did. Wish there were pictures of Benjamin but with a picture of his son - my great grandfather, James Carter Talbott (notice the other Carters around there, too), it may be as close as I will get to knowing.

Anything new would be welcome. Sounds like this hunting excursion is very exciting. Never know what you will turn up next. The research is interesting, isn't it.

Thanks again - Ruby
