William HEDRICK

                      Wm. Hedrick of Pettis Co. to Wm. Steele of cooper Co. sec. 4 twsp 45 2 May 1839    Beverly Gardner puts together a family living in Chariton co. Mo.There is no proof that William is the son of Joseph. The info. for his family line has been put together with census records and what marriage info. I wasable to find on a brief stop in Keytesville in 1995. The courthouse was already closed but I found a little library/museum that was still open. The man there was very understanding and stayed open for me to search what he had avaiable. The original Chariton Co. Courthouse burned and all the old records were destroyed. More research is needed to prove these three sons are those of William, son of Joseph or the discovery of a distatant relative.
