Some people
belive tha Aaron was the father of two sons...Joshua and John.  I don't know
that for sure...but thought I'd pass it along.  Wilson Perry Etherton was my
ggg great grandfather.  Here's what I have.  He was b. June 22, 1823 in KY.
and d. March 24, 1887 in Mercer Co., MO.  He married SARAH CAROLINE
THROGMORTON..(some spelled it THROGMARTIN).  She was the da. of Joseph
Throgmorton and Nancy--- . Wilson was a private in the Civil war, Co., C 25th
Mo Inf.  Sarah came to Missouri in 1831.  She couldn't read or write.  Their
children were: 1.MARY JANE b. 1849 Ray Co., MO. She m. ---MCLAUGHLIN.  2.
JOSHUA b. 1844, Mercer Co, MO. He m. ELIZABETH FLOWERS, Oct. 3, 1872 in Grundy
Co., MO. 3. JOHN b. July 16, 1847 in Mercer Co., d. Oct. 1, 1935 in Spickard,
Grundy Co., MO.(he was my gg grandfather.)4.MANERVA b. 1849. 5. JOSEPH b.

b. 1863.  12. LAURA b. 1863 Mercer Co.   Laura was a servant for the POWELL

generation...#3 JOHN ETHERTON m. LEORA FLOWERS, Sept. 9, 1870 in Spickard,
Grundy Co., MO.  Her parents were DAVID FLOWERS and  PHOEBE---.  Notes on
JOHN.  He died while his grand daughter, RUTH SCHOOLER HAMMONS and her family
were visiting from Yuba City, Sutter Co., CA.  Her da. LA VERDA RUTH was only
7 at the time but remembers it well.  She said that John was a tall man.  He
was very ill and died while they were there.  He had cancer and was being
cared for in a bedroom of his da. CARRIE'S home. After he died, the women in
the family prepared him for buriel.  His casket was put on the dining room
table chairs in the living room.  The funeral was held there.  Carrie didn't
have enough chairs for the funeral so all the neighbors brought their own.  An
interesting thing was that a man that had once lived in this same house had
hung himself in the closet of that bedroom.  JOHN  is buried at the Masonic
Cemetery in Spickard.
