Pg.512: James Duncan, a member of the firm of Duncan & Blatt, liverymen, is a native of Clinton County, Illinois, where he was born, July 22, 1837. He there passed his youth till thirteen years old, when the family removed to St. Clair County, Illinois, where he was reared to manhood. He has made the stock business his occupation through life, especially horse and mule trading. In the fall of 1865 he came to Henry County, Missouri, and was engaged in farming till 1876, when with E. Curtis he embarked in the livery business. Mr. C. remained a partner in the concern for two years, and after Mr. Duncan had conducted the stable alone a short time, the firm became Duncan & Curtis, (J. Curtis) which partnership existed for one year. Blatt & Homeyer then bought Mr. Curtis' interest in the firm, and they were together for six months when Mr. D. retired. After that time till February, 1881, he was for a while in and out of the livery business with different men, and part of that period was occupied in buying hogs. In February, 1882, he purchased the stock of Stevenson's livery stable, which he operated alone till Mr. Blatt became associated with him in November, 1882. They now do a fine business, and as they make a specialty of having conveyances suitable for commercial men, are having the greater part of the business in that line here. (MAD: 1850 Clinton Co.

The Heigira of Our Public Records. (By James H. Raybourn.)
Before the Civil War and until 1870, one man or one official held and performed the duties of county clerk and probate clerk, as the county court had jurisdiction over probate business. The same official was also circuit clerk and ex-officio recorder of deeds. Robert L. Duncan held these offices at the beginning of the war. Owing to conditions in the county in 1862, he removed the public records from Butler to the home of Oliver Lutsenhizer in Deepwater township. Some time afterward they were taken to Clinton, Henry county, as William Duncan, a brother of Robert L. Duncan, was an official of that county; and thence they were sent by John D. Myers to John B. Newberry at Jefferson City who was down there making settlement as county collector. The records remained in Jefferson City until an election was held at Johnstown in 1864, at which election John A. Devinny was elected to the Legislature, John Atkison sheriff, Van Buren Van Dyke assessor, and John D. Myers county clerk; C.I. Robards, H.H. Pipemeier and John Griggs as members of the county court. In the fall of 1865, the records, which had been returned to John D. Myers at Dresden, Pettis county, Missouri, were taken by him to Pleasant Gap as a temporary place of public business, as Butler was almost entirely wiped out by one party or the other during the Civil War; and public business conducted at Pleasant Gap was afterward legalized and validated by act of the Legislature, and the village of Pleasant Gap recognized as the county seat of Bates county, during the time the courts were held there. (MAD: more on the building, 1865-1866) As deputy circuit clerk and recorder, accompanied by Dr. N.L. Whipple, in March, 1866, I hauled the public records from Pleasant Gap in a farm wagon and placed them in said building. The county court and circuit court held two terms each at Pleasant Gap.
There was an election held in Johnstown in 1862, at which ... John D. Myers county clerk, ...
My understanding is, as stated in the old "History of Bates County," that the early court records beginning in 1841, at the house of Col. Robert Allen at Harmony Mission and covering the period down to 1852 of the county clerk and of the circuit clerk down to 1859, have been lost or destroyed; but so far as I know all the records which came into the hands of John D. Myers from Jefferson City, as above related, are still preserved and among the records in the proper office in the court house at Butler now.
I also understand that all marriage records prior to 1860 are lost or destroyed. From 1852 to 1856 the courts were held in Papinsville, which was the county seat. A brick court house was erected there, completed in 1855.
