Is anyone researching the extended DODDS or LONGSTRETH family from Morgan Co., OH, who moved to Cameron, Missouri?

My ancestor, Nancy LARIMER, widow of John DODDS (of Morgan Co., OH), went to live in Cameron, Missouri, with some of her family, and died there 28 July 1873.

I believe some of the children of Nancy's daughter, Mary Ann "Polly" and her husband, James LONGSTRETH, lived in Cameron, MO. In particular:

Mahala (LONGSTRETH) BAY
NANCY (LONGSTRETH) wife of Elijah HOLCOMB and George THRUSH

Thank you very much for providing the cemetery information for Mary (Dodds) Longstreth. I appreciate it greatly.

After my previous post, I realized that Mary's brother, Hugh L. Dodds, a Methodist circuit preacher, was in Clinton County, MO, where he purchased 2 Missouri land patents, 1 for40 acres and the other for 65.2 acres, from the Lexington land office May 1, 1843.

In the 1850 census, Hugh, his wife Harriet and daughters Isabella and Elaine, lived in the 16th district, Clinton Co., MO.

In an 1850 letter to his brother, James Dodds, Hugh wrote that he was 300 miles above St. Louis, 25 miles from Liberty landing on the Missouri River. Believe he was at Plattsburg, MO, at that time. I haven't been able to trace him or his family since then.
