Searching for Dayton and Mary Crider and Mary Corley Crider

Tom and I (Tom and Shirley Crider) traveled in Missouri the week of Oct 1 2007 doing genealogy research on the Crider ancestry and had some incredible finds. Tom is the son of Hugh Tom Crider, grandson of Clarence Crider. The purpose of our trip was to:

Locate graves of Dayton Crider (b. 1811, d. 1867) and Mary (Polly) Emison/Emerson Crider (b. 1811, d. 1852) as well as any other information. Dayton Crider is the great, great grandfather of Tom.

Locate grave of Mary Corley Crider (b. 1840, d. 1884). Mary was the Mother of Clarence Crider, Tom's grandfather.

Find any information possible on the above, as well as James Crider, husband of Mary Corley Crider, and any documents showing the “bonding out” of Clarence Tom Crider and his siblings (children of Mary Corley and James Crider) to different families after the death of their mother Mary Corley Crider. After this happened, we have no information as to what happened to James Crider except that he remarried 6 months after Mary Corley Crider's death.


This story is written in two parts; PART I will cover finding Dayton and Mary Emerson Crider. PART II covers finding Mary Corley Crider
