I am searching for my great grandfather. He would have been alive before 1875, living in
Missouri, USA and possibly died after 1896 in Missouri, USA My grandmother was the first child born to Mary Christine Ellis in Oct 1876 in Dunklin, Missouri, USA and to this unknown Stever Father. Mary Christine Ellis went on to marry Henry PARKS 18 Feb 1891 in Dunklin, Missouri, USA, then F. H. WARD 13 Jul 1899 in Lawrence, Arkansas, USA, then John Albert MASSEY in 1904 in Swifton, Jackson, Arkansas, USA. Mary Christine Ellis was the daughter of W John Scott Ellis, born 26 Jan 1843 in Texas County, Missouri, USA and Elizabeth
HARRIS 1845-1913


I would SO appreciate any leads! I have been unable to come up with any marriage records or anything that might give me a clue as to what my GGfather Stever's first name might have been.
