Nov 2002 email from Connie Clappier to Pam Wagner re Laura Irene Francis-Austin TX: Hist of Platte Co MO: "In 1836 several families resided in Platte Co (considered Indian lands). Gov't authorities issued a preemptory for them to move & abandon their claims, farms, houses, everything; & the troops at Ft Levenworth followed up the order by expelling those who were not prompt to go. At that time about 20 families composed the settlement, including Solomon Eads. Three of the settler's houses were burned by the soldiers-those of Robert Asher, Charles Cook & Solomon Eads. The treatment these pioneers received was considered an outrage, especially when in less than a year afterwards the country was opened up for settlement."

NOTES: Oct 1954 letter from Elsie Johnson Hosmer to Mary Marks: "There is a girl living here [Eugene] by the name of Dorothy Kathleen Eads... She is from Kentucky and didn't recognize anything that might connect the families. But she is only starting to hunt up history for their family. She is working at the University... She said before her grandfather died, they spelled it Eades but dropped the last E and in that book I have, the names were spelled with 2 E's. Here are the names from that book [assuming it is the "History of the Eads Family" by Rev George R Eads] Soloman, Abraham, Henry, John and Clark Eades. So it looks as tho they formaly spelled it that way too. She looked at Grandma's picture and said she looked quite a bit like her father...said her people were Baptists but that they hadn't found any link with James Buchanon Eads."
