a bit of trivia for you Carey... an ancestor named William McKown of Clinton County Mo fought under Gen. Sterling Price at Pea Ridge and another battle. This ancestor's mother was a Livingston and that family is one and the same of the Peter and Henry Livingston mentioned in the lengthly data posted above. We also have Heads in the family so it wouldn't surprise me if the General's mother was a head. They all came out together from Virginia, through Tenn. and up to Missouri.. The families often intermarried as at the time this was Indian territory and pickings were slim...
