LAFERNAIT / POURCELLY / WATERS
Joseph LAFERNAIT died
in 1824 in New Madrid County and in his will Richard J. WATERS was appointed
guardian for Joseph's minor children. I believe Stephen D. LAFERNAIT b. 1814
and James Monroe LAFERNEY b. 1818 were two of those children. I have checked
Joseph Lafernait's probate file at the New Madrid Court House but have not
been able to find any other record to tie the three names together. Are
there any records of Richard J. WATERS available that might contain the
connection?
Joseph LAFERNAIT married Margaret POURCELLY in New Madrid
territory in 1796. Joseph died in New Madrid County in 1824 leaving a wife
Mary LAFERNAIT and minor sons and daughters. Mary LAFERNAIT married John
PASQUIN about 1826. Looking for marriage record of Mary ? to Joseph
LAFERNAIT around 1812. Also looking for information about the parents of
Stephen Decatour LAFERNEY and of James Monroe LAFERNEY. Are there any church
marriage records for New Madrid county for this time perioid? I have quite a
bit of Information on Joseph LAFERNAIT that I can share.

MAVITY
I am trying to confirm that a Wesley Mavity who died in New Madrid
CO in 1835 is my ggg-grandfather. He was born about 1803, moved to New
Madrid CO from Ripley CO, IN, was killed by wolves in 1835, leaving a widow,
Ellen, and 3 small daughters, Elizabeth, Mary J., and Rebecca.
If he is
the man I want him to be, his daughter Elizabeth married a Wm. Hamilton
Branscomb in Mississippi CO, MO in 1845. Later she migrated to NW AR. I have
evidence that her sisters married brothers who were cousins of Wm. Hamilton
and also moved to AR. Ellen may have subsequentlly married a Mr. Martin.
Can anyone confirm anything about the Wesley Mavity story? All help greatly
appreciated.

"Dick and his Donkey" which I believe was a christmas gift to my grandfather
when he was about 9 yrs old. It has an inscription inside the cover
handwritten: Watson L. Stewart, New Madrid Mo. December 25, 1887.
I
understand that his mother was a widow(my great grandmother) by the time
grandfather was 12. I remember being told that he went to work for the
railroad when he was 12 or thirteen to support his mother and sisters. I
seem to recall that my great grandfather was a "high" (whatever that is)
sherriff in or around New Madrid. Possibly grandfather's middle name--Le
Valle--was his mother's maiden name.
