1900 Soundex stated they were living in Bates County; Mt Pleasant Twp. - Butler City, MO
Question re all their traveling around? says Grandpa "sim" just seeing the world.
Aunt Lou said he was very easy going to a point - good to Mom, he was hurt in RR accident (leg) spent a few years in bed and was still agreeable. Wayne Titsworth said "Sim" was from a well to do family (lumber) from KY and when he married was ousted from the family, headed by wagon train (everyone born on route near Lincoln, NE) Mom says they all lived in Butler, sounds like they were). They were heading back east to Butler. She doesn't know how far North or West they had been.
Lew Cook of OH states another spouse named Mary Ann Irwin married Sept 3, 1831. ?? children? did she die? where?
