288 pages with 74 total maps Locating original landowners in maps has never been an easy task-until now. This volume in the Family Maps series contains newly created maps of original landowners (patent maps) in what is now Monroe County, Missouri, gleaned from the indexes of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. But it offers much more than that. For each township in the county, there are two additional maps accompanying the patent map: a road map and a map showing waterways, railroads, and both modern and many historical city-centers and cemeteries. Included are indexes to help you locate what you are looking for, whether you know a person's name, a last name, a place-name, or a cemetery. The combination of maps and indexes are designed to aid researchers of American history or genealogy to explore frontier neighborhoods, examine family migrations, locate hard-to-find cemeteries and towns, as well as locate land based on legal descriptions found in old documents or deeds. The patent-maps are essentially plat maps but instead of depicting owners for a particular year, these maps show original landowners, no matter when the transfer from the federal government was completed. Dates of patents typically begin near the time of statehood and run into the early 1900s.

"We are so privileged to have these special places that help connect us to the history of Monroe County, called cemeteries. Every headstone in a cemetery is a marker documenting a life that had an impact on the formation of that area, our county, and even our state. Even if the headstone documents a baby that died very young; you have to believe that had an impact on the family. Sometimes one headstone will document a health crisis that affected an entire family: such as influenza ; water borne diseases like cholera; or even small pox. Other burying grounds document families that moved from slave states, prior to the Civil War. With some of those families their former servants (slaves) moved with them to Indiana, a free state. Other burials document veterans of the Revolutionary War, that were given war bounty land warrants in Indiana, in place of wages for fighting in the war. While some cemeteries have been lost/destroyed over the years, in traveling around to visit the county cemeteries we have met some people whose families have been taking care of "their" cemetery for generations. They do this even if they have no relations buried there. They view this as a special trust and promise for future generations. Some cemeteries might be the only thing that documents that a group of people ever lived there. The headstones that have been erected are not placed for the dead, but rather for the living. Sometimes they have elaborate and beautiful carvings that are magnificent outdoor artworks. Other times there are amazing details about the life of the person being memorialized. We want to make sure that no one gets the idea that the information that follows was developed all on our own. Through the years families maintained and passed down the information about the cemeteries where their ancestors were buried. Early on the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) collected data about the burials of Veterans, and individuals collected more information about the county cemeteries. In 1939 and 40 the Works Projects Administration (WPA) talked to families and church organizations and compiled an index of all the cemeteries. And they created sketch maps of locations of the cemeteries. In the 1980s members of the Monroe County History Center, led by Claude Rice, attempted to revisit all the cemeteries and build an index of all the readable names on the headstones. But as hard as the earlier groups worked to gather the information, in this round we did find a few "new" cemeteries that were not listed on any of the previous lists. And sometimes we were unable to relocate a cemetery that had been documented before. We hope that some of you readers might become infected by this curious affliction, to hunt down cemeteries out in the wilds of Monroe County. Please help us to find and document all of these final resting places - for the future generations. Good hunting! -- [iii]
