Looking for descendants of Larkin Geffs. Found marriage license in Clark Co., Il. in 1855, where he married Nancy Barton. I am interested in the Barton side as my husband's gggrandmother was Nancy Barton, b. 1840/41 in Illinois, then enumerated on the 1850 Reynolds Co., Mo. census as 10 year old living with parents John and Mary Earles Barton. Nancy gave birth to William Lands who was born in April, 1861, either in Illinois or Indiana. What took our Nancy Barton back east to Illinois and/or Indiana, I'm not sure, and when? Who is this mysterious Lands? and is our Nancy Barton the same as the one who married Larkin Geffs? I am almost sure they are from the same Barton family as the Bartons who settled in Reynolds Co., Mo. were from Clark Co., Il. I cannot find Larkin Geffs or any others in the next censuses, 1860, 1870. Does anyone know what happened to him and whether he had family with Nancy? There are still Geffs today in the Clark County, Il. area. Anybody know anything?

I am the granddaughter of Robert C. Geffs, daughter of Paul Thomas Peyton Geffs. I think granddads father was Thomas Geffs from England. I would like to find anyone who knows anything about my family since they are all gone. I know that some things granddad did were not good but that was him and I would like to know where I came from. Thanks Judy Geffs Turner
