What has happened to the Jefferson and Washington Counties websites? At one time, I had added a LOT of information on my ancestors that lived in these 2 counties and now I can't find hardly any of it and the one page I found, the story of my ggrandfather, George Washington Jackson, has a link to his ANCESTOR(?) I think meaning me? I also sent a picture of him and "The Survivors of the Battle of Shiloh," which I can't find on either website. When I tried to go to main page, it sent me to Ancestry.com and it said "I did not have permission to go there." What has happened?

My Grandparents were from Missouri and made their way to Texas after the Civil War. My GGrandfather was killed between 1865 and 1870 in Taney Co. There doesnt seem to be anyone who has any information about him. I was told that the carpetbeggers killed him but with no proof I don't know where to go from here.

A family book says that Benjamin Franklin Payne, my GGGrandfather was wounded at the battle of Pea Ridge. I need to know what side he was on. Also the Maddox family shared property lines with the James family in Karney Mo. The Maddox and McCorkle names are listed with the JAMES and Quantrell exploits...Very interesting and I now have the "Geneology BUG". Any information would be greatly appreciated.... Steve Maddox

Surnames being researched? William Clay
Comments:
Seeking information on William B. Clay, born in Giles County, Virginia in 1818 Married to Malvina Harman, born 1817. They were married on January 6, 1837 in Tazewell County, Virginia. Their 5 Children were David P. Clay, born 1849, Rebecca Clay, Born 1851, Pricilla Clay, born 1853, John Clay born 1857 and Wiliam Zach T. Clay born in 1859. He moved to Missouri in 1850. He served in the Civil War for the Confederates. I did some kind of verification that this is the same William Clay that enlisted in Company B, 5th Missouri Cavalry from Davies County, Missouri. If you can find any of the information that I'm requesting it might give me a better chance of getting into the UDC. The only records that I have received reports him as missing during the raid on Missouri from August 29tn through December 2nd, 1864. He was with Shelby's Brigade.

Surnames being researched? Murray
Comments:
Trying to find information about Bennett Murray. He joined the Fremont Ranger on August 8, 1861 in Cape Girardeau, MO. He was mustered out of the Fremont Rangers on October 1, 1861 and mustered into Missour State Militia on December 12, 1861 in Cape Girardeau, MO. I find very little information about the Missouri State Militia. I have found out that he was activated by the 56th Regiment of the Enrolled Missouri Militia on April 30, 1864 in Cape Girardeau, MO. There is a note at the bottom of the record that says, "Killed by guerriles after being ordered into service". His tombstone says he died on July 3, 1864 by guerriles. My question is what was he doing between December 1861 to July 1864.
