Swyres of Missouri

I am researching my husband's family tree. His paternal grandmother was a Swyres, from Saint James, Phelps County, Missouri. Her parents were Charles and Martha Shelton Swyres, also of Missouri. Charles' parents were, I believe, Abraham and Nancy Kidd Swyres, born in Ohio and moved to Phelps County, Missouri. Nancy was still alive at the 1900 census, but Abraham was not though as of the 1880 census he was still listed as living.

In going through GenWeb cemetery records on line I can find a few burial places for 'some' of the Swyres children but nothing for Abraham and Nancy. Abraham has census records from Ohio and Missouri as well as a Civil War registration, Nancy has census records. There is also a marriage record for them in Ohio from 1852.

If anyone has info they would care to share I would appreciate it greatly.
