My Azariah and his siblings, who were living in 1850 (except for sister Esther Jamison), reported their birth place as Missouri on the census. I think they were identifying the area of the French territory that became Missouri. kdduncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02324473106970005553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3064169550240768591.post-59306345268077897572016-10-03T09:59:04.840-05:002016-10-03T09:59:04.840-05:00Kathy,

That Azariah (born 1799) could very well exist, he is just not yours. One other comment, I wonder if it is possible that these siblings (Enoch and Azariah, for example) were actually born in Missouri in 1799 and 1800; only because that was still French territory. I have pioneers who ventured west from Virginia/Kentucky about that same time to Saint Clair County (about half of present day Illinois and then claimed by Virginia). They were very near Saint Louis but on the US side. From their story, I know that the area was very sparsely populated and if-fact, the first white settler there was William Scott and his party in 1797. I am speculating and you may have proof, but would your ancestors have settled in French territory at that time? Brucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06585405199121767395noreply@blogger.com
