Am searching for any info that one might be able to provide on my great-great-great grandfather Joseph Wilcox HELM. I know that he married my great-great-great grandmother
Nancy Washington MALLORY on 30 Jul 1835 in Missouri. He and Nancy had at least one child: Susan HELM who was born on 25 Dec 1849 in Monroe Co., Missouri. Susan HELM (my gr-gr-grandmother) married a THARP (I've yet to discover his name).
I have found a Joseph W. HELM in 1840 Census in Randolph Co., Missouri and in 1850 Census in Monroe Co.
But now am at a deadend...Greatly appreciate any help. He may have migrated to Missouri from Kentucky since my great grandmother used to tell us that her family (the THARPs) came from there.
