John and Mary Fletcher



John Fletcher was my 3rd great grandfather. He was born in Virginia about 1787, and died in Callaway Co. Missouri, between 1850 and 1860.

His wife was Mary Fletcher. I do not know what her maiden name was. She was born about 1790, probably in Virginia. She died in Callaway Co., Missouri before 1850.

I have not been able to find much information about John and Mary Fletcher. On the 1850 Missouri census he is listed as a wagon maker. We believe they came to Callaway Co., Missouri from Virginia about 1826.
