Hi there! This is my family. I recently moved so my records are a MESS!!! But if you would let me know what you have so far, I might be able to fill in the blanks. The Deeds were one of the early pioneering families of Sullivan County, MO. They have been in the area since around 1850. Alma McDowell, I believe, is my grandfather's sister. I would have to ask my mom or dig out all of my records. If she is, then her father was "Wid" McDowell and her mother was Mary Yardley...sound familiar? It would not take me long to look ups for you so let me know what you have! Marsha Sears
