LEWIS FRANKLIN HUME, farmer. Mr. HUME was a son of Staunton HUME, a brother of Joel, mentioned in the sketch of John G. and Joel L. His father Staunton, was born in Virginia but reared in Kentucky, and 1816 came to St. Louis county, Missouri, where he married and lived until his death in 1851. His wife, the mother of L. F. HUME, was formerly Miss Sarah A. BRECKENRIDGE, of the distinguished family in Kentucky of that name, and was born in Madison county, Kentucky, in 1804. Although the mother of twelve children, and now seventy-nine years of age, she still enjoys good health and is active in mind and body. Staunton HUME was a successful farmer in St. Louis county, and there reared his family. The son, Lewis Franklin, was born in that county, August 25, 1826, and in youth obtained a good ordinary education in the common schools. When in his twenty-first year, March 16, 1847, he was married to Miss Mary A., daughter of John CASIN, one of the early settlers of this county. She was born in Fauquier county, Virginia, September 19, 1826. Mr.
HUME having been reared on a farm adopted that occupation, which he has followed thus far through life, but for about three years in connection with the milling business, in which he was also engaged for that length of time. Five years after his marriage, in 1852, he moved with his family to Carroll county, Missouri, where he lived until 1864, and then returned to St. Louis county. During his residence in Carroll county, in 1861, he enlisted in the Confederate service, but in December, 1862, was captured at Black Water, and a month afterwards released on parole. In the spring of 1866, he moved from St. Louis county to his present place in Howard county. His farm numbers 160 acres, and the distinguishing feature about it is, that it is one of the neatest, best kept farms in the county. The farm itself reveals the fact that its owner is an intelligent, progressive, business-like farmer. As a citizen and neighbor Mr. HUME is respected and esteemed by all who know him. Mr. and Mrs. HUME have lost six children and have four living, viz.: Katie, Mattie, James, and Staunton. Both parents are worthy and consistent members of the Christian church.
Mary A. CASIN was born on 19 Sep 1826 in Fauquier Co., VA. She married Lewis Franklin HUME in 1852.

Pgs 573 & 574:
MAJOR JOSEPH H. FINKS.
Prominent among the citizens of Howard county who give character to the community in which they live, and are a credit and an honor to the county, is Major Joseph H. FINKS, of Prairie township. Descended from an ancestry of soldiers and excellent citizens of the Old Dominion, where he himself was born and partly raised, he inherited undiminished the sterling qualities of his family, which have given him a standing in his adopted state not unworthy of his name nor of the old commonwealth that gave him birth. The founder of the family in this country came originally from Switzerland, that cradle of the republican institutions of modern times. Mark FINKS, the major's ancestor of the third generation, was a captain in the revolutionary army and served under General LAFAYETTE. He died in Virginia at the advanced age of eighty. His wife was previously a Miss FISHER, whose family subsequently became prominent in Kentucky. He was a man of great personal worth, and of a more than ordinarily generous, kindly disposition, and quitted a long and useful life without a known enemy. This quality--kindness, generous, courteious bearing to all--is a marked characteristic of the family. Major FINKS' grandfather, James FINKS, was a soldier in the war of 1812 and served his country faithfully until the close of the struggle. He distinguished himself in several important engagements by his resolute, unfaltering courage in the most trying circumstances. He was born in Madison county, Virginia, in 1776, and and died in that state in 1846. He was married in his native county to Miss Mary ALLEN, and subsequently removed to Orange county of the same state. Captain James FINKS, the major's father, was born a short time before his parents left Madison county, September 1, 1808, but was reared in Orange county. He married his first wife in the last named county, Miss Mary E. DULANY, but she survived her marriage only a short time, dying in 1835. The following year Captain FINKS made a trip to Howard county, this state,
where he met and married Miss Caroline, daughter of Joseph S. and Cassandra HUGHES, old settlers of the county, but originally of Kentucky. He then returned to Virginia with his wife, where he lived about fourteen years, but in 1851 came back to this county with his family and made it his permanent home. For many years he has been one of the most highly respected and substantial citizens of the county. Joseph H. FINKS was born in Greene county, Virginia, August 7, 1838. He was, therefore, thirteen years of age when his parents settled in this county. Before he left Virginia he had attended the neighborhood schools a number of sessions, and had made a substantial start in the acquirement of an education. In this county he also had the advantages afforded by the ordinary local schools, and in 1857 was well qualified to enter college. He then returned to his native state and became a matriculate in Randolph-Macon college, where he studied diligently for two years, thus acquiring an excellent education. Reared on a farm, he early acquired a taste for the independent, honorable life of a farmer, which decided him to devote himself mainly to agricultural pursuits. Accordingly, after his college course he located on a farm in this county, and went to work with a resolution and energy, united with a degree of intelligent management, that could have but one result...complete success...which he was not long in achieving. He has long been regarded as one of the best farmers of the county.However, coming of an ancestry he did, and in every sense a worthy son of the Old Dominion and of his adopted state, it was but natural to expect that when the bugle-call of the south was sounded in 1861 he would be among the first to rally to her defence. He enlisted under Governor JACKSON's first call for troops, and was at once elected first lieutenant of his company. Shortly afterwards he was commissioned lieutenant-colonel by the governor, and assigned to a position on the staff of General John B. CLARK, Sr. In this service he continued until the expiration of his term, when, in 1862, he entered the regular Confederate army and followed the meteor-like flag of the south through three long years of privation and danger, and until, like the cross, defeat was made more glorious than victory. After his entrance into the Confederate service he was commissioned major by President Davis, and successively occupied positions on the staffs of Generals FROST, John B. CLARK, Sr., and PARSONS. He was member of General PARSONS' staff at the time of the surrender. In 1870 he was elected circuit clerk for Howard county, and such was his efficiency and popularity in office that he was re-elected in 1874, thus holding that position eight years. Following this, in 1878, he was elected to the legislature from this county, and in that body took high rank as an able and conscientious legislator. December 17, 1873, he was united in marriage to Miss Lizzie, daughter of William J. HARVEY, of Chariton county. As a citizen and neighbor, and in every relation of life, Major FINKS is without reproach.
Lizzie HARVEY [Parents] was born about 1850. She married Joseph Hughes FINKS Major on 17 Dec 1873 in Missouri.

-=-=--==-=-=-=-=I wonder if the Benjamin with the 1783 dob could be this man?
Nellie BLANKENBAKER [Parents] was born in 1798/1804 in Virginia. She married Benjamin CRISLER on 10 May 1827 in VA.
Her age and her husband's are suspicious. I got this 8/99:
First, an abstract of the will of Elizabeth (Carpenter) Blankenbaker appears
in Mrs. Eileen D. Hicks, Wills Madison County, Virginia 1821-1840
(Alexandria, VA, 1959), p. 10. This is a typescript in the DAR Library in
Washington, D.C., prepared under the auspices of the Kate Waller Barrett
Chapter of the NSDAR. The abstract states:"BLANKENBEKER, Elizabeth Madison County, Va.
Dated: 19 March 1838 Probated: 27 April 1838
Sons: Nelson C. Blankenbaker; Elliott; Jonas
Daus: Mildred Carpenter; Nelly Crisler; Nancy Thomas; Mary Miller;
Sarah Carpenter
Executor: Son, Nelson
Witnesses: C.S. Strother, William Strother, Joseph Strother"Thus, this record confirms that Nelly (Blankenbaker) Crisler was the
daughter of Elizabeth Blankenbaker and the sister of Nelson C. Blankenbaker
and Mildred Carpenter. (It also gives the deathdate of Elizabeth
(Carpenter) Blankenbaker, which I, at least, did not previously have).The marriage records of both Nelson C. Blankenbaker and Mildred
(Blankenbaker) Carpenter identify them as children of Jonas Blankenbaker.
See John Vogt & T. William Kethley, Jr., "Madison County Marriages
1792-1850" (Athens, GA: Iberian Press, 1983), pp. 13 (Nelson C.), 91
(Millie).These records confirm that Nellie (Blankenbaker) Crisler was the daughter of
Jonas & Elizabeth (Carpenter) Blankenbaker. That leaves the question of her
birthdate.As an initial observation, somebody gave you a bad date (1784). According
to Claude L. Yowell, "The Blankenbaker Family" Germanna Record No. 13 (Oct.
1971) p. 14, Jonas Blankenbaker married Elizabeth Carpenter in 1790. Thus,
Nellie should not have a birth date before 1790.In addition, Vogt & Kethley do not name any parents at her marriage in
Madison Co. on 8 May 1827. Vogt & Kethley, op. cit., p. 91. This may
indicate that she was of age, thus born before 1806.I found Nellie (Blankenbaker) Crisler in four censuses, as follows:

daughter, single, at home, school in year; Crisler, Clyde, M, 4, son,
single, at home; Crisler, Nellie, F, 80, mother, widowed. All of these
persons were white, born in VA, and had both parents born in VA.The four census records give four different birth years for Nellie
(Blankenbaker) Crisler: 1798 (1860), 1800 (1880), 1803 (1870) and 1804(1850). The 1804 date would mean Nellie was 23 when she married (prime
marryin' age) and 35 when her last child was born. The 1798 date would mean
Nellie was 29 when she married (perhaps a bit long in the tooth for the
time, but hardly an old hag) and 41 when she had her last child. I would
guess the correct date is probably about 1802-3. Perhaps, when she was a
middle-aged woman, Nellie shaved a few years off her age and then, as a very
old woman, added a few extra years to appear even more venerable.However, this means that Nellie was 40 years younger than her husband,
Benjamin Crisler. I tried to find him in the 1830 and 1840 censuses, but he
was not listed in the indexes I consulted. May-December romances are hardly
unheard of, but the man would have been 77 when his last child was born.
John, I agree with you that, while this is possible, it looks suspicious.
However, my knowledge of the Crislers is next to zilch. Maybe someone more
knowledgable can weigh in on whether we have the right Benjamin.One more point. Vee Dove states that Benjamin and Nellie (Blankenbaker)
Crisler's daughter, Louisa Elizabeth married William H. Clore in 1855. Vee
Dove, "Madison County Homes" (Kingsport, TN: by author, 1975), p. 187. She
probably got this information from Claude L. Yowell, "The First Four
Generations of the Clore-Glore Family in America", Germanna Record No. 10
(April 1967), p. 25. However, Yowell did not mention an apparent first
marriage of Louisa Elizabeth Crisler, and, consequently, Dove missed it.Vogt & Kethley, p. 102, show that Louisa E. Crisler, d. of Ben Crisler,
married 9 Jan. 1849 in Madison Co., Thomas J. Berry, s. of Acrey Berry. In
addition, Louisa E. Berrey and her one-year old son are living in Nelly
Crisler's family in 1850. Thomas J. Berrey appears to be the son of Acrey
Berrey, Jr. and Sarah Finks, and the grandson of Acrey and Mary (Hurt)
Berrey and Mark and Eve (Fisher) Finks.Worth S. Anderson
