Hi ~
Still don't know where either one are buried.My hubby Max remembers some graves on the Hobbs farm in Stone Co., MO.One of these days, we might try to locate them.Also, there are 25-50 graves @ the old Hendrickson School nearby.None documented other than verbal recollection by Edna Hazel McCullough Lowery.She also remembers a couple of graves on the Hobbs farm and suspected they might be for Abner & Anna.
As I said before, Abner & Anna are on the 1880 Stone Co., MO census as Halls/Holls.They are also on the 1876 Stone Co., MO census (more of an agricultrual census)I've transcribed it and have a copy.Very clear on the names in the 1876 so I sure wish people would set their records straight.Neither was dead before the census of 1880.
Whoever reported Anna as D. in Ark. 1884, have no clue.Haven't found where.Maybe went to live with a child if Abner died first?
Also, something else I am trying to investigate, there are conflicts of who Abners parents are reported to be.One account states Nathan Hobbs & Mary Ann Wilson, a 2nd account states Nathan Hobbs & Mary Ann Lawrence/Laurence Tinney.
Keep us posted what you may turn up.
