Bowles Chapel Cemetery

NAME / DESCRIPTION:  John P. Moreland are William Lewis Pinnell are buried in the Bowles Chapel Cemetery. William named one of his sons William Bowles M. Pinnell. He in turn passed the Bowles name down to his son.  John’s mother Sarah Bennett and her third husband Josiah Carter were active members and Trustees of the church during the latter decades of the 19^th century.    Bowles Chapel Cemetery is located in Jefferson Township, Maries County near the town of High Gate. Only the foundation of the old church establishes its location next to the cemetery. Bowles Chapel was once a part of the Lane’s Prairie Charge, Methodist Episcopal Church, South.  The Lane’s Prairie Charge was, successively, in the Vienna, Salem, and Washington dis­tricts of the St. Louis Conference.  During the period 1889‑1893, the charge included congre­ga­tions at Bowles Chapel, Cedar, Corinth, Elrod Schoolhouse, Liberty, Talbert Schoolhouse, Vichy, and Wesley Chapel.  The number of persons represented by the charge probably numbered about one hundred.  The congregation at Bowles Chapel was the largest in the charge, and quarterly confer­ences were held there more often than any other location.

LOCATION:  Country: United States;   State: Missouri;   County: Maries;  Coordinates/Map: 38.1044N  91.7109W

NAME / DESCRIPTION:      Around 1838 our 4^th great-grandfather George Moreland settled in Johnson Township of Crawford County. Johnson Civil Township makes up most of the area of township 39.  In 1855, Johnson Township fell into the southeastern most part of the newly created Maries County, where it is situated today.  He acquired land on the Little Bourbeuse River in section 4, township 39, range 7 west of the meridian. Everett Marshall King, in his book History of Maries County, states that George's "only known home in this county was on the Bourbeuse, later owned (and mostly entered) by his son Andy, and now owned and lived on by Emmett Duncan. An Indian trail crossed the creek on this land, and later on one of the many forks of the Potosi road also crossed there. Its easy access probably led to its having been settled early."   The land was later owned by George’s son Andrew Moreland who died here in around 1881.  The property was subsequently owned by an Emmett Duncan.

NAME / DESCRIPTION:       High Gate is an unincorporated community in eastern Maries County, Missouri. It is about fourteen miles east of Vienna. Its post office closed after 1972 and mail now comes from St. James.  The town is named after High Gate in England where the original settler’s families had came from.       In the late 19^th and early 20^th centuries when one of the primary social organizations High Gate was the local chapter of the Agricultural Wheel.  The Agricultural Wheel was a nationwide secret society of individuals connected with farm­ing.  The first meeting of this group, in 1888, was chaired by Ambrose Smith.  Discussions on various aspects of farming were featured at the meet­ings, and members enjoyed a discount on purchases at the Wheel’s store at High Gate.  The min­utes also indicate that the local groups had charitable and social concerns.  Sick or distressed members were aided by committees appointed by the Wheel.  The Wheel insisted on certain standards of behavior by its members, calling individuals to task for di­vulging the secrets of the organization, and for drunkenness. Member­ship records indicate that forty‑six men and women belonged to the High Gate organization.

High Gate Cemetery

LOCATION:  Country: United States;   State: Missouri;   County: Maries;  Coordinates/Map: 38° 9′ 28″ N, 91° 40′ 30″ W

NAME / DESCRIPTION:       High Gate Cemetery contains the gravesites of Emmett C., Laura A. (Kinsey), and Josephine (Kinsey) Moreland.  This tragic story begins in 1880 when Jeremiah E. Moreland* married Miss Laura A. Kinsey, and his brother William married Laura's sister Josephine in that same year.  The brothers and their new spouses subsequently took up residence in Jefferson Township near High Gate.  A little more than a year after they were married Jeremiah and Laura's first child, a son named Emmett C., was born on June 2, 1881.    This good fortune was followed by much grief and tragedy. On October 4th William’s wife Josephine died at age 22 years.  The day after Christmas Jeremiah’s six-month-old son Emmett left this earth.   As if that wasn't enough, three months later on March 29, 1882 his wife Laura passed on at the tender age of 21 years.

Lanes Prarie

LOCATION:  Country: United States;   State: Missouri;   County: Maries;  Coordinates/Map: Lat: 38.19N, Lon: 91.73W;   Driving Directions: Take US Route 63 from Vienna. Travel 11.6 miles.  Turn slight left onto MO-28. Travel 5.2 miles.  Total Est. Time:  18 minutes; Total Est. Distance: 16.95 miles.

NAME / DESCRIPTION:        Lanes Prairie was originally located in Osage county until 1855 when Maries county was formed.  The site of the town is in Section 30, Township 40, Range 7 west, about twelve miles east of Vienna and about twelve miles north of St. James.     The area is named after Charles C. Lane, the first recorded settler of Maries County, who entered the large Paydown tract on the west side of the Gasconade River in 1826. Lane remained at that location only a short time before moving to the east side of the Gasconade at Lane's Ford.  Family members Benjamin, Hiram, and Peter Lane also settled east of the river on the rolling prairie which came to bear the family name.  By the date of Charles Lane's death in 1850, a small community existed at Lane's Prairie.     Although practically nothing remains of the village today in past years it maintained at least two stores one of which was a general store thought to have been operated by Francis M. Johnson, one wagon shop, and a post office.  Records show that on Jan 1, 1851 William L. Pinnell* was appointed the first Postmaster at Lanes Prairie.  The Post office remained in operation until 1914.    An 1860 daybook from the general store at Lane's Prairie contains the names of the store's customers and reveals the mixture of Germans and “Old Stock” Americans who made up the population of Maries County before the Civil War. Frequent customers were William Ammerman, William Davidson, Elias Gradolf, Benjamin, Hiram, and Peter Lane, John Moreland**, John Nagle, Thomas Oliver, Frederick Overmayer, and William Wentzel.       There was a skirmish at Lanes Prairie during the American Civil War.  As a result Francis Johnson the proprietor of the general store, which no longer exists, made a claim against the United States for damages to the store during the engagement.  It is probable that the contents of the store were the real objects of rebel forces in this action. The fight is known locally as the Battle of Bloomington, after the post-war town site platted on Lane's Prairie.

LOCATION:  Country: United States;   State: Missouri;   County: Maries;  Coordinates/Map:

NAME / DESCRIPTION:  Our 2^nd great-grandfather, John P. Moreland, came to Maries County around 1855.  An 1857 U.S. Land grant shows John as obtaining 40 acres of land located in the Northwest quarter of the Northeast quarter of Section 17 in Township 39, North of Range 7 West.    In 1907 he sold 80 acres of land located in the North half of the Southeast quarter of Section 32, Township 40 of Range 7 West.  Between these years he was involved in several land transactions.      In 1860 the John and his family were living in the Lanes Prairie area of Jefferson Township, Maries County, Missouri. According to the census the Moreland's were neighbors of the William Lewis Pinnell family.  By 1870 John had become quite a successful farmer.  Census data cites the value of his real estate was $5,450, and his personal estate was valued at $1,875.  These numbers are quite impressive for the times and geographical area.  A review of his neighbor's assets shows that John's were at least three times greater.  It is also noted that John was affluent enough to employ two men who lived and worked on the farm.     Some time in 1907 John and his wife Lydia moved from Maries County, Missouri along with the families of their grandson John Alton Jones and granddaughter Martha O. (Jones) Cox.  They settled in the Voorhees Twp. area of Stevens County, Kansas.

Vienna

LOCATION:  Country: United States;   State: Missouri;   County: Maries;  Coordinates/Map: 38° 11′ 12″ N, 91° 56′ 53″ W

NAME / DESCRIPTION:  Soon after Maries County was formed in 1855 the newly elected commissioners put out bids for land to place the new county seat.   They decided to choose the bid offered by Thomas Shockley.  It was 70 acres of land located in Sections 20 and 29, Township 40, Range 9, which he had entered April 2, 1855, and then presented to the county to be laid out at a county seat and sold for the benefit of the county.  The town was surveyed by Reuben Terrill, the first county surveyor.  The commissioners, in consultation with the county court appointed by the governor of Missouri named the town Vienna.  According to local history this came about in the following manner: Dr. V.G. Latham, the presiding county court judge, it is said, had had a young woman in his family name Vie Anna, who had died, and he wished the commissioners to give the town that name in her honor.  One of the commissioners thought that this request was unwise.  As a result it was decided to outmaneuver the powerful judge by naming it in honor of the Austrian capital.  Thus Vienna, was a name so similar that any opposition from the Judge was quietly suppressed.   Vienna has remained the at this location without any serious efforts to remove it with the exception of one unsuccessful attempt in 1870 when some of the citizens suggested relocating near Lane’s Prairie.

County boundary changes

     Conducting genealogical research in the United States requires an understanding of county boundaries.  As the population grew more counties were created to meet the public’s need for localized governments.  This phenomena was common in all states during the 17^th, 18^th and 19^th centuries.  As such you must be sure that you are not looking for records in the wrong county or state. 

     The web-site for the Atlas of Historical County Boundary Project provides interactive maps for all states. This Atlas is meant to be a resource for people seeking records of past events, and people trying to analyze, interpret and display county-based historical data like Land Records, Probate Records, Court Records, Tax Records, and Vital Records that document birth, death, and marriage.   Listed below are the boundary changes for this county, the dates they occurred, as well as the government statute that decreed the change.  To see actual changes in a mapping format follow this link to the Atlas of Historical County Boundary Project .
