I am searching for information on my Grandmother, Carrie L. Marmaduke, born in Missouri October, 1862. She married William Clutter, who was, also, born in Missouri about 1852. In the 1870 Census of Shelby County, Clarence Twp, Mo., William is listed as 17 years of age. In the 1900 census of Macon County William and Carrie are listed with their children. I have hit a "brick wall" in finding any information about her parents (my g-grandparents). As late as 1900, Carrie and William were listed in the Census of Macon County so I feel confident that Carrie's parents came from the immediate area. In 1885 the Governor of Missouri was John S. Marmaduke. I have no idea if he was related to Carrie. Any help you could provide would be appreciated. Thank you.

I'm looking for information on the John Albert TOBIN family. John married Nancy Catherine COLE on February 17, 1885. They had eight children and one named Carl died at age 17 and is buryed next to his mother in Evergreen cemetery. The children grew up in Shelbyville. My
