Hello ~ interesting! I’m researching Heuston/Hueston myself. My grgrgrandfather was William Heuston m. Almira Hatch Barber. Their children were: Theodore, Ebenezer and Jerome DeWitt. This Heuston family migrated from IN>IL>KS between 1850 and 1870. Would love to find Wiliam’s parents/sibling info. Any shared info or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Sherre
Sherre,
Was your Heuston family originally from Ireland?
I’m sorry, I have no information on any Heustons in the U.S. other than my own. My Elizabeth Bridger Hueston’s father was Patrick Hueston and they immigrated to St. Louis, Missouri from Ireland in about 1863.

30 yrs. ago i met arvilla drinkard gill thru the phone and mail. somewhere between’79-81. she was looking for the family of dennis and minnie drinkard. i gave her info.. and pd. $15.00 for the book. my son in 1st grade wanted to take the book to school to show his ancesters and lost it. 2o yrs later i was back in touch with my aunt pat drinnkard johnson. she was dennis and minnie’s grandaughter as was my father. i have looked cannot find the records for callaway county only a few and they are obits. i was born in fulton and still have family there. all of my drinkard relatives that iknow of are all buried there or mokane a smaller town on the river. reading the story of the brothers gave me joy as i have heard it also. my aunt has sent me photocopies of origiinal land deeds. a pa per htat shows when william became a door keeper,the william that was secretaary of war, the drinkard tavern(apicture),ect. i am interested in my family and do want to put it all together for my children and grandchildren. i would like info on the drinkard that was in the revolutionary war. arvilla had given it to me and so had my aunt. i cannot find it. also, the drinkard or drikard’s that were in the civil war. i know about the drinkard wagon in oregon. my aunt went there and sent me pictures. just would like some help putting all together. thank you rhonda drinkard
Hi Rhonda,
It is good to hear from you. I also corresponded via mail, emai,l and phone with Arvilla — but in the early 90s. I purchased the Drinkard book and still have it. I have not as yet entered all the information from the book into my family tree program. I’ve only entered information on my individual descendant line from William. I also have a copy of the document that shows William as a Doorkeeper of the House of Burgesses, as well as William Rollerson Drinkard’s document about him operating a tavern in Williamsburg. He was the son of William Drinkard. I have been to Colonial Williamsburg and have found additional documents regarding William Drinkard. I have plans to scan those in and put them on my website. At one time a Colonial Williamsburg Actor/Interpreter played the role of William. I believe it was John Drinkard that was in the Rev. War and he was Arvilla’s ancestor. He is not my ancestor. I also personally do not have a Drinkard Civil War ancestor and cannot recall which Drinkard was in the Civil War, without looking at the book. It will be a while before I can get the Drinkard documents scanned in and the webpage updated, as I’m currently working on my Bridger family documents. Arvilla sent me a lot of copies and most of it does not pertain to my particular line of Drinkards. Eventually I will be happy to make copies for you and can send copies to you. Please email me directly at Elaine64@aol.com and send me your mailing address and I will send those copies to you.
Regards,
Elaine
Larry,
Logan had 3 wives. Logan died Jan 1906 in Purcell, Jasper County, Missouri. Susan died 13 jul 1901 in Missouri. That’s why you can’t find them in the 1910 census. They were married Oct 3, 1890 in Missouri. I have a copy of their marriage license, and a photo of Logan. I do not find a death record from the Missouri death records archive. If you have a subscription to Ancestry.com you can find more info. I am sending the marriage license copy and the photo to you via email. If you need more info, let me know.
