Name: Joan Benner Luby 
I am looking for information on my 3rd great grandparents, Samie BENNER and Sarah BOOHER. Samie moved to Grundy Co. Missouri from somewhere in Pennsylvania. He was a tailor by trade. Family history says he and a brother came to this country from Germany at an early age. I would like to find out the brother's name, who their parents were, and where they came from in Germany.

Also, I would like to find out more about Sarah and her families. In 1843 Samie married Sarah. They had four children - John Henry, b. 1844, m. 1865 to Nancy Elizabeth WILKINSON, Eliza Jane b. 1845, m. Mark TRUSSELL 1866, Frances Elizabeth b. 1847, m. William CROCKETT, and Sammie b. 1850, m. Amanda ETHERTON in 1872. They had two daughters. All were born in or near Spickard. Son, Sammie was a grocer in Spickard. In 1902 he was burned to death while lighting a hanging kerosine lamp in his store. Is it possible there is a news paper article about his death or obituary notice available?

Sometime after Samie the (father ) died, Sarah remarried to a man named BARNES, and they had children. Who were Sarah's parents, where did they come from and where is she buried?

John Henry, William CROCKETT, and Mark TRUSSELL were all in the Civil War, 23rd Regiment, Missouri Volunteer Infantry, Co. C.

About 1860 John Henry moved his family to Ava, Douglas Co. Missouri, and in 1909 they moved on to Oklahoma. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
