HARDESTY, DAVIDSON

My name is Barbara Dannels Jameson. My uncle is Floyd E. Hardesty. I know that he was in the U.S. Navy and was born around 1911. My mom,

Ravedeenah Hardesty Dannels (Floyds sister) was born in Lakefield, MN and was in an orphanage. I found a 1925 U.S. Census that says a Floyd

E. Hardesty at the age of 14 years old lived with G.M. and Irene Belle Davidson in Labette, Ks and listed Floyd as an orphan. I would like to know if you would be able to give me any information on G.M and Irene

Belle Davidson. I am continuing my search for the Davidsons on Ancestry.com.



Thank you very much for your time in this matter.

PICKETT

My name is Charleen Pickett Schuster and I am trying to find out if my great Grandmother died in Labette County, Kansas or any other information about her after 1910.
The last information I have from the census shows that she was living there:
1910 Kansas, Labette County, 2 Ward Parsons Township, ED #147, Page 149  April 22, 1910
Blanche Pickett, 50 years old divorced, 6 children/5 living, MA MA Ma, Own income
My grandfather, Fred Arthur Pickett, son 19 years old MN, IA, MA Barber Shop
Bert Hiram Pickett son, 13 years old, MO IA MA
I know what happened to my Great  Grandfather after they divorced and where he died in Napa County, California.
Do not know what year they got divorced and if they got divorced in Kansas or not.  Just know that she is still there in 1910.
We think she may have died there sometime between 1910 and 1920  or maybe even later.
My Grandfather, Fred Arthur Pickett moved on to Colorado in 1920 and his brother was born in Utah on the way to Colorado.
I am in the process of joining the DAR and this is the only information I have not been able to find.
Please if there’s anyway you can help me find this information as to what happened to her after 1910 I would very much appreciate it.
Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

BOWEN

Peter Bowen came to Parsons in the early 1880's with his parents, Peter and 

Hannah Venters Bowen and brother Tolly and Samuel. His parents were ex-slaves 

who had traveled as enslaved servants from Georgia to Grimes County, Texas, 

where they lived until emancipation. After slavery ended, the Bowens, with 

several other families,(Bradleys, Tiggs, Browns, and others) moved on to Parsons 

in search of a better life in what they imagined to be a less racially charged 

environment. Life was not perfect for the early blacks of Labette County, but 

the family managed to expand and maintained an active life in the Parsons 

community. Peter H. Bowen, erroneously recorded ad Peter R. Bowen, was the only 

black to graduate from the City High School in 1899. Peter spent his latter 

years in Los Angeles where he died in 1945. Peter married Clara Fagan, and born 

to them was one daughter, Florine Bowen, who married Jim Whitmore. Florine and 

Jim had children Clarence and

 Willethel Whitmore. Florine Bowen, who's parents and grandparents migrated to 

Kansas from Texas during reconstruction, brought the family back to Texas in the 

late 1930's and settled in San Antonio, where she, her children and 

grandchildren were established for many years.

BAILEY

My great-grandfather William Ray Bailey was born 29 Apr 1883 in Chetopa, Labette County, Kansas. 
I have a copy of a transcript of his original birth certificate which I can scan and submit, if that is welcome.

His father Joseph M Bailey was also born in Chetopa, Labette County on 25 Mar 1848.  He and his family lived in Wichita for a time but then returned to Chetopa for a time before heading west.  Family stories say he lied about his age and fought in the Civil War.
I do not have any official records documenting his birth, military service, or other vital stats.  I would appreciate any info that could be sent to me.
 

Joseph's wife was Elisabeth Malvina McCulley who would have lived in Labette for only a few years.
William Ray Bailey married Neva Gertrude Breese in Wichita, Kansas.

I would love to find any birth or school records for these ancestors.
Thank you,
