Frances Thurman is listed in the Benton, Newton County,
Missouri census in 1850. With him are
two children who I am assuming are his daughter and son: Elisa C. Thurman, born about 1829 in Missouri
and Jesse H. Thurman, born about 1832 in Missouri.
Also in the household are B.F. McCoy, age 20, born in
Virginia and Mary Ann McCoy age 21, born in Missouri, as well as Parilla Powell
age 23, born in Kentucky and James Powell age 2 born in Missouri. Some researchers have identified Mary Ann
McCoy and Parilla Powell as daughters of Frances. However, they have not been able to document
this information. I am looking for more
information about them.
Elisa or Eliza
married Daniel Severs, about 1853 or 1854, probably in Missouri. I do not have a marriage record for this
couple and their information has been posted in another blog post.
Jesse appears in the 1870, 1880 and 1900 census records, in
White Rock, McDonald County, Missouri.
He appears to have served in the
Civil War as he had an invalid application filed in Missouri. He married a woman whose name was Cordelia
but her last name is unknown at this time.
I would like to find out more about Frances Thurman and I
would be willing to share with any one who would like to collaborate.
