BRANCH, DUNAWAY/DUNNAWAY, ETHERIDGE, HOLLING, JORDAN, ROBINSON, SCOTT, SLATER

tcward@columbus-ks.com Carolyn Ward Sat Jun 21 1997
I'm looking for information on the DUNAWAY/DUNNAWAY family that lived in Bourbon County Kansas in the late 1800's. There are several marriages listed in the Bourbon Co. Marriage Index 1855-1893. I recognize several of these as siblings of my great-grandmother Lurana DUNAWAY.

The marriages listed are:

*DUNAWAY Elvira D. m. 1869 to JORDON James
DUNAWAY John W. m. 1890 to SLATER Rosa B.
DUNAWAY Lillie H. m. 1893 to SCOTT Robert E.
*DUNAWAY Melissa L. m. 1881 to ETHERIDGE S. D.
*DUNNAWAY Amanda J. m. 1875 to BRANCH John C.
*DUNNAWAY Cordelia C. m. 1872 to HOLLING John
DUNNAWAY Dorinda m. 1866 JORDAN Frances M.
DUNNAWAY Nancy Ann m. 1875 to ROBINSON William B.

Lurana b1859 in Bourbon County Kansas, m1879 in Bates County Missouri, r1880's in Chase County Kansas and d1893 in Cherokee County Kansas.

Based on census records, family photos, etc. Believe the parents might be Harvy and Treasy H. DUNAWAY. I'm fairly certain that those marked with a * are probably sisters of Lurana. Would be interested in knowing and verifying this and learning how the others relate to this DUNAWAY/DUNNAWAY family. Also interested in descendants of this family.

I am researching the following families who lived in St. Paul, Neosho County, KS, from 1865 until 1909. Jacob and Catherine Sellman BEECHWOOD (name changed from BUCHHOLTZ in 1840s) and their children John, Barbara, Anthony, Charles, Victoria and William all raised families in Neosho County. The ones I don't know much about are Anthony and Victoria. (John married Elizabeth KLEIN and moved back to Lewis County, NY. Barbara married George KARLESKINT and moved back to Bourbon County, KS. Charles married Mary MEEKS and later moved to Joplin, MO. William is my great grandfather. He married Mary Alice BELL, daughter of John Thomas BELL and Louisa SAUNDERS, all of St. Paul, KS. William and Mary Alice moved to Coffeyville, Montgomery Co., KS in 1909, with their family.) Anthony died in a mill accident in 1882 at the age of 32. He left behind a wife and baby, neither of whom I've identified yet. Victoria married a man named Frank BLAISE. She died at age 27 and left 3 children. Her oldest, Lydia, married John DUMAS. I know nothing else about her. If anyone is researching these names, please contact me: Beechwood, Sellman, Blase, Bell, Dumas, Karleskint, Jarboe, Kendrick, Cavanaugh, Redinger, and many others. I have been to St. Paul, KS and have done a great deal of research on Beechwood and Bell. I'd like to share it with anyone who's interested, and am always looking for more leads. Thank you.
