To anyone who had relatives in the Stahl, Novinger, Kirksville, Missouri and surrounding areas that might have been buried in the Morelock Cemetery in Adair County, Missouri, we are looking for information. A cousin and I are currently trying to compile as much documentation on those who are buried in Morelock Cemetery. Names include, but are not limited to, Bachman(Baughman), Billington, Morelock, White, Capps, Stidman, Tade, Ledford, Pickens, and many more. If you have information you are willing to share, please email kinfind46@hotmail.com. Any information received will be available for use by any researcher interested in those in Morelock

Wow, this is cool! I have lots of info about Alger, Morelock, and Pickins from Adair and Sullivan Co's in Missouri. I have many relatives from this area. Many are buried at the Morelock Cemetery. My mother was a Morelock. My grandmother was an Alger, and her mother was a Pickins. You may email me at
t_wethington@hotmail.com or through my ancestry site.

Thanks for your email. We have currently identified 474 known or suspected burials. We are trying to get copies of births (certificates or newspaper articles), marriages (certificates or newspaper articles), deaths (certificates or newspaper articles), obituaries, military and land records. Have most of the census records for them. We are also interested in copies of pictures of them. Our 3-ring binders now number 9 (2") binders. Eventually this information will be available in the local Adair County historial society. I will look to see if I can identify your relatives(or you can make it easy on me and tell me who they are!) and then email you about what we have and would LOVE to get! Since this is an active cemetery, the job will never be finished.

I also have family members buried there. I am related to Bachmans. Elbert Bachman was my gg grandfather.

My husband is probably related to you then. We are definitely interested in talking with you. I will take a look at the chart and see if there is something specific we are missing that we might be able to work together to get.

Thanks for your email. I will be in touch.

Thank you for your contact. My husband is related to you...shirt-tail cousin. His gr-grandfather is a brother to Elbert. For Elbert, I have birth date, marriage date (would like proof), death date & certificate, have obituary, grave picture, need probate records, have some land records and census records for 1880-1920. Because he is related, we also have much more on the Bachman family. If you wish to contact me directly, you may email kinfind46@hotmail.com.

We will be in Missouri in mid-March if you live anywhere near and would like to get together or want us to do specific research, just let me know.

I am the oldest grandaughter of Floyd Billington and related to the surrounding Billingtons buried there. I can be reached at tinacarlson@theshadowlands.net if you have any questions about my family.

Thank you so much for your reply. We are looking for pictures of those buried there. We also are trying to locate documentation (it would be EARLY, I know) of marriages for Rufus and Nellie and Thomas Porter's marriage. We don't have a lot of documentation on the deaths either as they are recent enough we haven't pursued the more recent death records. Would love to have an obituary on Jerry Bob Billington as well.

Any help you can give is greatly appreciated. We are getting many of the blanks for the 484 graves filled in.

Thanks for your help. --Eva

I have a lot of info on the Billington family starting in New Arc, New Jersey.
I have several Morlock names and Alger names, so I know we are loking at the same families.
I am Marvin Barger (Shmsb@charter.net)
My grandmother was Sarah Billington, daughter of Hardy Billington, he was the son of Samuel Billington, he was the son of Ezekiel Billington, and we beleive Ezekiel was the son of James Billington, but have no proof of that connection.

Thank you for your posting. Are any of your Billingtons buried in the Morelock cemetery in Adair County, Missouri
