You should have the information now. Thanks for the Payne/Missouri tip.Different family.When my ancestors first got to Boone County, Central MO in 1817/8 there was probably not a big demand for horses and mules.My g grandfather said he helped clear the land and build the first houses in Columbia, MO.His son, my grandfather, was a horse and mule buyer/trader in late 1890's/1900's.The way my grandfather and grandmother met was her horse with buggy ran away with her.He stopped the horse and rescued her.I guess that was the way you met men in those days.At least, that is the way it was shown in old western movies.
