His father, Henry, was born August 14, 1800, in Mongalia Co., VA (now WV). His mother, Mary Ann, was age 33 in 1850 born PA. In the 1860 census for Center Twp., Buchanan Co., MO, Pliney was age 22 and working with others on a farm.</div> <bR> <div> His grandparents were John Merrill and Jemima Batton.</div> <bR> <div> Pliney's children by Sarah Jane DeVorss were probably adopted by her 2nd husband Josiah J. Elder, or at least took his surname. They were listed on the 1880 census as Elders, and son Edwin was known to go by Elder. However, in 1900 Edwin Marrow, son, age 30, was listed with Sarah and John J. Elder.</div> <bR> <div> Notes for JOSIAH J. ELDER:</div> <div> Mrs. Sarah Jane Elder is listed as an heir in the final disposition of John J. DeVorss' estate, and  J. J. Elder was paid $125 in the course of settling John's estate. J. J. Elder was also an appraiser of the 1875 estate of Lewis R. DeVorss, a brother to Sarah.  J. J. Elder was also a witness on an account of John J. DeVorss' estate filed by Maglin A. DeVorss in 1879.</div> <bR> <div> The only clue as to Josiah's family is that his son Wiliam Calvin was listed as a nephew (nearest relative in Mount Auburn Cemetery records) of Joseph J.

The daughters are Mrs. H. S. Jenkins and Mrs. Steve Lonnich of St. Joseph, and Mrs. Daniel Hill of Kansas City."</div> <bR> <div> Henry P. Smith, Adelene's father, was a juror in 1859 on a case that brought national attention. During the time that the southern states were threatening to secede from the union, a band of men from Missouri chased a wagon transporting slaves from MO to Kansas. The driver of the wagon was caught and jailed. The legislature of Kansas hired the best legal talent in the country to defend him and the trial lasted 3 days, but after only a few moments of deliberation the jury returned a verdict of guilty. The case was appealed to the U. S. Supreme Court, but while pending a party of Kansans broke the wagon driver out of jail and escaped back to Kansas. (Henson DeVorss 1818-1900 was also on this jury.</div> <bR> <div> More About ADELENE SMITH:</div> <div> Burial: Mount Mora Cemetery</div> <div>      </div> <div> Children of JAMES DEVORSS and ADELENE SMITH are:</div> <div> 56.     i.     EDWIN BECK<FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" >5</FONT> DEVORSS, b.

Rebecca and Patrick were in Forbes, Holt Co., MO in the 1880 census. After Patrick died Rebecca refused to accept financial help from her father. To support herself and the children she ran a boarding house and took in laundry. She also sold books for a while. There are several pictures of Rebecca with her mother in later years, but it is not known if her relationship with her father improved before his death.</div> <bR> <div> In the 1900 census Rebecca was with her second husband in Lincoln Twp., Andrew Co., MO. With them were Mary and George Quinn.</div> <bR> <div> Rebecca liked to tell stories to her grandchildren. Almira Quinn related this story from Rebecca:</div> <div>      "One day when Patrick was away several men came to the house. A man (probably Jesse James) came to the house and asked to come in. He asked questions about Savannah. As he was leaving  I looked out of the window and saw two black hats sticking up back of the wood pile. I remained calm. Later a store or bank was robbed and Patrick happened to be present. He saved his money by dropping it on the top of his hat as he raised his hands."</div> <bR> <div> Notes for PATRICK QUINN:</div> <div> Was an Irish Catholic who was born aboard ship as his parents were coming from Dublin, Ireland. It is thought they came to Virginia. Later Patrick moved to Missouri and worked on the railroad. Levi DeVorss gave some land to the railroad which ran near the DeVorss home in Forbes, MO, so maybe Patrick and Rebecca met then. At any rate, Levi opposed the marriage and Patrick and Rebecca eloped on a hand car, probably to St. Joseph. Their children were christened as infants in the Catholic Church, possibly in Savannah, MO. </div> <bR> <div> May be related to James and Annie Young Quinn who came to St. Joseph, MO in the spring of 1842 to be near family who were already there.</div> <div>      1850 census Buchanan Co., MO: transcribed Queen</div> <div>      James Quinn age 46 born in Ireland</div> <div>      Ann age 32 born in Ireland (next door was her brother Thomas Young age 38 born Ireland)     </div> <div>      Robert Moffit Quinn age 12 born in VA (now Wheeling West Virginia)</div> <div>      Eliza Quinn age 9 born MO</div> <div>      Sarah age 7 born MO</div> <div>      Thomas age 5 born MO</div> <div>      Tetia age 3 born MO</div> <div>      Martha age 3 born MO</div> <div>      Ellen age 1 born MO</div> <bR> <div> August 7, 1885 newspaper article: Patrick Quinn, a long time section foreman at Forbes, Mo., died last Sunday at his home near Forbes of consumption.</div> <bR> <div> Notes for MARCUS LAFAYETTE MINER:</div> <div> Had a son, Jim, from a previous marriage.
