The McCorkill's
The McCorkill family has been in America since at least the early 1800's
as my Great Great Grandfather Thomas McCorkhill was living in Hamilton County, OH at the time of the 1840 Census and later
records indicate he had been born in Kentucky. My Great Great Grandmother had been born in New York, according to records
I have uncovered. Great Great Grandfather McCorkhill died in 1840, soon after the census had been taken. He left behind
two daughters and a yet unborn child who was a son. Within three years my Great Great Grandmother had re-married and with
her husband, Mr. Isaac Loper, had several more children.
The Loper's moved to Fulton County. Illinois with their
combined family and remained there until his death. By 1870 Mrs. Loper had moved, with several of the children, to Buchanan
County, Missouri and in 1880 she was in Atchison County, Kansas. Later she moved to Montrose County, Colorado where remained
the rest of her life.
My Great Grandfather, William Thomas, grew up in Fulton County, Illinois and married Sarah
Marsh They had seven children before moving to Atchison County, Kansas in the 1870's. She died in 1876 and is buried in
Pardee Cemetary, Atchison county, Kansas. William Thomas continued to live in Kansas for most of his remaining life.
My Grandfather, Thomas Holleny, dropped the "h" from the spelling of his name. He married Flora Anna Tebow
and they lived several places in Kansas, as well as in Colorado before moving to Springdale, Arkansas in 1914.
My
Father, Lee Holleny. was born in a sod house in northwest Kansas. He spent a major portion of his life in Kansas though he
lived, at various times, in Arkansas, Oklahoma and Colorado. He married Hazel Marie Smith in 1935 and they moved from Montogmery
County, Kansas to Greene County, Missouri in 1960 and spent the remaining years of their lives there.

The Smith Family
I have documented my Smith ancestors back to Virginia in the mid 1700's. I
have not located records showing their presence earlier than that but I believe they may have arrived up to 100 years earlier.
From Virginia the family moved to South Carolina, then to Kentucky and Indiana before my Great Great Grandfather, Eli, came
to Harrison County, Missouri in the early 1850's. My Great Grandfather William Preston Smith was born in Boone County,
Indiana and came to Harrison county, Missouri as a child. He married Martha Francis Grinstead, whose Grinstead family had
also come to Harrison County, Missouri in the early 1850's. They both lived their entire life in Harrison County.
My Grandfather, Arthur Beaman Smith, was born and raised in Harrison County. After his marriage to Dell Chamberlin they
lived in Missouri, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arkansas before moving to Kansas where he spent the last years of his life.
My Mother, Hazel Marie Smith, was born in May, Oklahoma and live in Oklahoma, New Mexico, Missouri, Arkansas, Colorado,
and Kansas in the years of her life before moving to Greene County, Missouri.

The Tebow Family
The Tebow family
came to America from Flanders in the early 1640's and settled in New Amsterdam when it was still a Dutch colony. The family
moved between New York and New Jersey for many years until my Great Great Great Grandfather Tebow moved to Hamilton County,
Ohio in the early 1800's. He and my Great Great Grandfather and their families remained there throughout their lives.
My Great Grandfather George Tebow moved to Kansas in the early 1870's and he remained in Kansas for most of his life.
My Grandmother Flora Anna Tebow was born in Jefferson County, Kansas and grew up there. After her marriage she lived in
Kansas, Colorado, and Arkansas. After my Grandfather's death she returned to Kansas and in her later years lived in Oregon
and Washington with two of her daughters.
The Tebow's are a large family and the descendents of the original immigrants
can be found in virtually every State.

The Chamberlin Family
The Chamberlin's were in Pennsylvania in the 1700's and moved to
eastern Ohio soon after 1800. My Great Great Grandfather, William, lived in Williams County, Ohio. I have not identified
the date of his death but believe it to have been in the early 1860's. My Great Grandfather, William Augustus, came to
Harrison County, Missouri as a young man and spent most of his life there before moving to southwestern Missouri late in his
life. He married Rachel Sellers. Her family came to Missouri from Tennessee after the Civil War.
My Grandmother, Dell
Chamberlin, was born in Harrison County, Missouri and except for the time they lived in Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arkansas and
Kansas spent her life in Missouri.
