Stephen Monroe HANCOCK is my Great Grandfather who settled in (I believe) Stevens county or what would be that county in 1886. He was involved in education and I believe that he was the first supt. of schools in that county. He died while still a young man and I don't know where he is buried. Since I will soon be "coming home" to live in Kansas, I would like to know where my great grandfather was buried. It may be Liberal as that is where my Grandfather would settle and where my father was born. I think that Stephen died around 1888 to 1890. He was involved in trying to bring peace to the antagonists of the county seat wars at Hugoton at the time, but did not die as a result of the war but of illness. |

Seek record of family and descendents of S.P. GALLOWAY, who moved to Moscow, Stevens County, between 1870 and 1890 from Ralls County, MO. Thomas Fulton MORROW, born in Monroe Co, Ohio, enlisted in the Union Army. After service he joined his family in Ralls Co, MO, where he married in 1865. On June 22, 1866, Thomas' sister, Ruth Ann, married John A. Galloway in Ralls County. Later, Thomas F. Morrow applied for a pension from Coffeyville, Montgomery County, KS. S.P. Galloway filed an affidavit from Moscow, Stevens Co, in support of the pension. James W. Galloway also filed an affidavit in support the pension from Benton, Butler County. Both Galloways stated that they knew Thomas F. Morrow in Ralls County from 1865 to 1869. The affidavits are undated, but appear to have been filed about 1890. I am interested in tracking both Morrow and Galloway families.

I am researching the William Elwood BUNDY family. He practiced medicine in Hugoton in the 1900-1928 period. His son Clyde BUNDY is listed as a newspaper man in the 1910 census for Stevens County. William's wife was Elmira COOK, and they were married in 1880. Their daughter Truellla BUNDY married my grandfather, George JOHNSON, probably in Hugoton, in 1910. He worked as a station agent for the Santa Fe Railroad. |

Seeking info on Herman W. Cann and his wife, Mary C. Moore. Their son, Ralph Wendall Cann, was born in Hugoton, Stevens County, Kansas on October 7, 1891. My 2nd cousin showed me a history book (it was red if I remember correctly) when I was a teenager and I remember reading about Herman Cann. He was a United States Marshal with a reputation, "known to dodge a bullet". I am having difficulty finding any more information on Herman and his family. Where they originated from, when and where they married, thier parent's names, etc. How long did they reside in Kansas? Did their deaths occur in Kansas? Any and all information would be greatly appreciated. Herman is grandfather of many generations. Thank You, Andrea |
