When OGS received Earl Stephenson’s genealogical books and papers, there was a large framed
photograph of the Charles B. McAfee family. Earl’s note accompanying the photo reads: “I can’t
remember how I came to be in possession of this portrait. I helped clean out a basement of a
downtown store in the 1960’s and it may be from there. I am a member of Ozarks Genealogical
Society and because of my training thought I could locate a living relative. I wrote letter after letter to
any and every McAfee I could locate. No one claimed kin.” Written on the back of the photo is “Judge
Chas B. McAfee Born Lexington, KY Mar. 28, 1829 Capt (Major); Wife Mattie Martha E.; Ernest C.
Captain 9th MO Vol 1898 (Spanish American War); John R.; Chas B.; Justin J.; Robert B.; Raised
Co[mpany] of 100 men Capt for 3 years Nevilles Battalion & 3rd Mo State Militia; Major 7th MO Vol
Inf.” Earl also noted son Robert B. died in Greene County in 1919. I have researched this family and
do not find that any of the sons left issue. I started researching Charles Bingley’s siblings to see if
there might be some nieces or nephews. It appears Charles B. was the son of Robert J. (1804-1872)
and Martha Jeter Kavanaugh (1803-ca 1880). Their known children were John Thomas, Charles
Bingley, Hance, Elizabeth, Douglas, M. and James P. If you know of any relatives of this family who
might like the portrait, contact the President.
