Im Just curious, do you have anything on Richard Herman Venable 1852-3, Ripley Co. Missouri. Wife (Miriam)Mary Rushing. Marriage in Johnson Co. Ill., anything ya have on the ancester's or Decend.,would be a real addition to my vague info., on my GGGrandad. His wife died in Beaver Co. South on her son Ephriam Thomas's and wife Lida Ann Miller's homestead. Family said she died of Rabies from a cat bite or a scatch. I saw several Venable's in the Beaver Co. cem., Clyde, Gaylin, Donald Ralph(my grandad),Ephriam, wife Lida Miller, Mary E. Rushing, Jesse Franklin, son of Richard H.,and Mary Rushing, his db is 1878 on the headstone. Also there a Bently Venable. Richards Wife Mary died in 1913, in Beaver county Ok, Richards Grave is in the Arnold Cem., in Ripley Co., Missouri, Family said he died as a result of a gunshot delivered by H>C> Dalton, We know that Richards Family had know the Dalton family and lived in communities beside and with the Dalton family in many different locations i.e>Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky, Carolinas, and as far back as Europe. Richard was aquainted with the young boys, had been involved according to records in Little Rock, Government Deputy Marshall and Bounty law contracters. Richard came riding up to there farm in Missouri to water his horse and to say hi to the boys, well, as the story goes a drunkin H>C>Dalton stumbled out on the porch thinking that he was part of a posse or something and shot Richard Herman in the hip and as a result died of an infection from this gunshot wound? My GGrandfather Ephriam Thomas Venable, while elderly and diabetis riden in 1956, told my Mother Elaine Ruth Welch (Retired Chief of Staff Airforce four star General Larry Deane Welches sister)This information, infact this was how most of the VENABLE'S IN BEAVER CO., info., was obtained I>E Family. My father is Donald Dale Venable, His is Donald Ralh, and his is Ephriam Thomas Venable, his RICHARD HERMAN. Sorry I get a little carried away, love a good mystery, can you help found out some of these things if you have time and interest? Let me Know?
