“J.F. LLEWELLYN, druggist, Mexico, and one of the prominent and popular business men of this city, is a native of Kentucky, born in Louisville, September 13, 1845. His parents were Robert Llewellyn and wife, whose maiden name was Mis Abbie Knott, both originally from England. They came over to this country many years before the civil War, and the father was a bookkeeper in Louisville. J. F. Llewellyn, the son, was reared in that city, and had the benefit of a high school course as he grew up. He early began to learn the drug business, and was for three yeas in the Louisville Chemical Works, and was afterwards with George H. Cary, druggist, for seven years. While learning the business he also occupied his leisure with study so that at the expiration of his experience in the drug and chemical houses mentioned above, he was justly regarded not only as a superior theoretic and practical pharmacist, but also as an experienced chemist.
“…On the 2d of October, 1879, Mr. Llewellyn was married to Miss Sallie C. Duncan of this county. They have two children, Henry and Frederick. Mr. L. is a member of the Episcopal Church.”

1841 - John Lewellen in Linn County. Was acting justice of the peace and owned land:
Dr. John F. Powers came to section 10, township 58, range 18, on the first of April, 1841 … John Lewellen on Section 21
While Brownlee was here John Lewellen was acting justice of the peace. Lewellen was a man of but medium scholastic achievements, but had few superiors as a woodman. He was famed for his skill in making rails, splitting clapboards, and work of that sort. Brownlee on the contrary, knew little of rail making, or any sort of carpentry, but was something of a scholar and a skilled penman. On one occasion, Lewellen had an important case before him. A man was up for trial, charged with hog stealing. The case necessitated a great deal of writing, which the backwoods magistrate was not competent to do. He was somewhat embarrassed, and in his perplexity went to Brownlee and accosted him:
“Bruce, I want to swap work with you. I’ve got that ornery cuss of a hog thief to try, and there’s a big lot o’ papers to git out, an lots o’ writin’ all mixed up with it, an I’m no hand to write, an’ never wuz. Now you’ve been foolin’ round tryin’ to build that cabin, but you don’t know how to make a clapboard. Now just suppose you take my place as ‘squire, an’ I’ll take your place and make all the clapboards an puncheons you need.”
Brownlee had a little trouble to convince Lewellen that a magistrate could not delegate his judicial powers to a common citizen, but at last agreed to act as a clerk, and “do all the writin’,” provided old John would split enough clapboards and puncheons for his cabin, to which the “squire” readily assented. And thus the records of the hog-thief’s case were properly kept, and Brownlee’s cabin properly roofed and floored, and the beauties of a system of reciprocity of labor fully demonstrated.

World War I Dead: Merle Thurman Lewelling & Vernie Denzil Lewellyn
Billie,
I can add some details to two men listed under Jackson County on your Missouri chronology. Gathering those details, I went off on a few tangents.
There’s information on Merle T. Lewelling and Vernie D. Lewellyn in the Missouri State Archives “Soldiers' Records: War of 1812 - World War I” at
[NOTE: broken link]
The notes in brackets are mine.
MERLE T. LEWELLING
Army Serial Number: 2,184,469
Race: White
Residence: 1410 East 6th Street, Kansas City, Missouri
Inducted at: Larned, Kansas; 4 September 1917
Age at Induction: 29 years, 1 month
Place of Birth: Salem, Indiana
Service: Company E, 356th Infantry, 4 September 1917 to 11 November 1918
Grades: Cpl 6/19 [19 June 1918]
Served Overseas: 4 June 1918-11 November 1918
Remarks: Killed in action 11 November 1918. Father, William Penn Lewelling, Larned, Kansas, notified.
Googling a little, I found this biographic sketch of Merle Thurman Lewelling in “Indiana World War Records -- Gold Star Honor Roll: A Record of Indiana Men and Women who died in the service of the United States and the Allied Nations in the World War (1914-1918),” published by the Indiana Historical Commission, Indianapolis, in 1921. Under Washington County, it reads:
“Lewelling, Merle Thurman - - - Corporal
Son of William P. and Ada D. Lewelling; born August 15, 1888, Salem, Ind. Graduate of Northern Illinois College of Optometry. Optometrist. Entered service September 15, 1917, Kansas City, Mo. Reported as the first man from seven states to report at Camp Funston, Kan., for training. Assigned to Company E, 356th Infantry, 89th Division. Overseas June 3, 1918. Killed in action 11 November 1918, Armistice Day, near Beaumont, just before crossing the Meuse River. (Burial place not known.)”
Camp Funston was on Fort Riley, southwest of Manhattan, Kansas. It was one of sixteen Divisional Cantonment Training Camps established at the outbreak of World War I. Major General Leonard Wood, a physician who had served as the Chief of Staff of the United States Army (1910-1914), commanded Camp Funston. The 89th Division, known as the “Middle West Division,” trained at Camp Funston. One estimate was that more men in the 89th were from Missouri than from any other state.
The 1910 census shows Merle T. Lewelling, age 11 (b. August 1888, IN), living with his parents -- farmer Wm. P. Lewelling, 38 (b. March 1862, IN), and Ada Lewelling, 32 (b. January 1865, IN), married 13 years -- and younger brother Wilber A. Lewelling, 9 (b. January 1891, IN), in the north part of Washington Township, Washington County, Indiana. Salem, Merle T. Lewelling’s reported birthplace, is the seat of Washington County.
The LDS FamilySearch Web site has an IGI Individual Record identifying the parents of William P. Lewelling as William Lewelling (1818-1880) and Ruth (Overman) Lewelling (1822-1908).
Another IGI Individual record lists the parents of the 1818-born William Lewelling as Shadrach Lewelling and Sarah (Hobbs) Lewelling.
The LDS FamilySearch Web site has an IGI Individual Record noting William P. Lewelling married Ada D. Peden in Washington County, Indiana, on 31 March 1877, a date consistent with the 1910 census information.
In 1880, William P. Lewelling was living in a Washington County household headed by his widowed mother, Ruth Lewelling:
LEWELLING Ruth Head Widowed Female White 57 IN NC NC Keeping House
LEWELLING Thomas S. Son Single Male White 22 IN IN IN Farmer
LEWELLING William P. Son Single Male White 18 IN IN IN Farm Laborer
BANTA Jane Sister-in-Law Widowed Female White 68 NC NC NC Visiting in Family
RENICK Alice Niece Single Female White 26 IN IN IN Teaching School
HOGDEN Walter Cousin Single Male White 22 MO IN IN Farm Laborer
IGI Individual Records note Jane Lewelling (b. 1812, NC), a daughter of Shadrach Lewelling and Sarah (Hobbs) Lewelling, married Jarvis P. Banta (b. ~1808, NC).
During its November 1877 term, the Supreme Court of Indiana heard a case, “The Western Union Telegraph Co. v. Lewelling,” in which Western Union appealed a lower court decision in favor of William Lewelling. In the earlier case, William Lewelling had alleged that a Western Union agent had failed to deliver a proper message, delivered to him during office hours on 22 September 1874 in Salem, Indiana, which had been accompanied by payment or tender of the usual charges. The message was from William Lewelling to his sister Jane Banta, in care of T.A. Banta. It appears Jane Banta was living in Bloomington, India, at the time. In the telegram, William Lewelling advised his sister Jane that their mother had died on the evening of 21 September 1874, and that she would be buried at 11 o’clock on 23 September. Jane Balta apparently never received the telegram. The draft message had been delivered to the Western Union office in Salem by farmer Josiah Diefendorf (58, who lived three miles north of Salem) at the request of William Lewelling.
In 1870, William P. Lewelling was resident in this household in Washington Township, Washington County, Indiana:
Dwelling 384
LEWELLING William 52 Male White IN Farmer
LEWELLING Ruth 48 Female White IN Keeping House
LEWELLING George F. 14 Male White IN At Home
LEWELLING Thomas S. 12 Male White IN At Home
LEWELLING William P. 9 Male White IN At Home
LEWELLING Sarah 87 Female White NC At Home
I assume the 87-year-old Sarah Lewelling was Sarah (Hobbs) Lewelling, the widow of Shadrach Lewelling. According to William Lewelling’s telegram to his sister, she died in September 1874.
In 1880, Ada Peden was living in a Washington County household headed by her father, Charles Peden (47, b. IN). The household included, among others, Ada’s mother Rebecca Peden (42, b. IN) and brother A. Thurman Peden (12, b. IN). Perhaps the middle name Thurman in Merle Thurman Lewelling and A. Thurman Peden repeated in the Peden family?
In 1870, Ada Peden was living with her parents in the household in Dwelling 382, Washington Township, Washington County, Indiana, separated by only a household headed by Josiah Diefendorf (54, b. NY) from the household headed by the 1818-born William Lewelling.
Rooting around for information on Merle Lewelling, I found a bit about his younger brother Wilbur.
There’s a record in Wichita, Sedgwick County, Kansas, for the 4 February 1922 marriage of Wilbur A. Lewelling to Coral E. Lozier.
The Social Security Death Index has an entry for a Wilbur Lewelling, born 21 January 1891, who died in Shawnee, Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma, in July 1977.
The Social Security Death Index has an entry for a Cora Lewelling, born 19 September 1887, who died in Altus, Jackson County, Oklahoma, in February 1974.
On to Vernie D. Lewellyn.
VERNIE D. LEWELLYN
Army Serial Number: 3,261,268
Race: White
Residence: 1518 Troost Ave, Kansas City, Missouri
Inducted at: Kansas City, Missouri; 24 June 1918
Age at Induction: 25 years, 7 months
Place of Birth: Monroe City, Missouri
Grades: Private
Service: Casualty Company, 152nd Depot Brigade, 24 June 1918 to 28 July 1918; 12 Company, Replacement Group, Medical Department, Camp Greenleaf, Georgia, to 22 August 1918; 4 Corps Replacement Battalion to 29 October 1918; 314th Sanitary Train to 10 November 1918.
Served Overseas: 27 August to 10 November 1918
Remarks: Died 10 November 1918 of wounds received in action. Mother, Mrs. Oscar P. McNess, Lawrence, Kansas, notified.
Camp Greenleaf, an Army Medical Corps training camp, was on Fort Oglethorpe, located on the Civil War Chickamauga battlefield.
The 314th Sanitary Train, in which Vernie D. Lewellyn was serving when he was killed in action, was an element of the 89th Division controlled by the division surgeon. In addition to a headquarters and a medical supply unit, the 314th had an ambulance section with motorized and animal-drawn ambulance companies, a field hospital section with motorized and animal-drawn field hospital companies, and eight camp infirmaries. I don’t know in which part of the 314th Vernie D. Lewellyn served.
I found a WWI draft registration for Vernie Denzil Lewellyn of 1518 Troost Ave, Kansas City, Missouri. It listed Vernie Lewellyn, age 24, as having been born on 5 December 1893 in Monroe City, Missouri. He was a “Natural Born Citizen.” It listed his race as “Dutch” and his marital status as “Married.” It listed his height as “Tall.” It listed his build as “Medium.” It listed his eyes as “Blue” and his hair as “Dark Brown.” It listed no disabilities. Vernie Lewellyn was employed as a paper box maker at the National Paper Box Company.
There is an Application for a License to Marry issued by Jackson County, Missouri, to Oscar P. McNees, age 41, of Douglas County, Kansas. His intended was Mrs. Elizabeth M. Lewellyn, age 42, of Willow Springs, Howell County, Missouri. Oscar P. McNees signed the application on 7 August 1910.
On the 1900 census, Oscar McNees, 32 (b. March 1868, TN) and Elizabeth McNees, 34 (b. March 1867, IL) are living in Wakarusa Township, Douglas County, Kansas. The Oscar McNess household also included sons Murlin, 4 (b. April 1896, KS) and John, 1 (b. December 1898, KS), as well as stepdaughter Mable Osborn, 12 (b. October 1887, KS), and stepson Clifton, 10 (b. September 1889).
There’s a Douglas County marriage record for Oscar P. McNees and Sarah E. Osborne dated 7 March 1893. That date is generally consistent with the 1900 census, which reflects Oscar and Elizabeth McNees as having been married for 8 years. It also shows Elizabeth McNees as having had four children, all still living. I assume the 1900 Elizabeth McNees was Sarah Elizabeth (--?--) Osborne McNees.
I found Vernie Lewellyn in this “Llewellin” household on the 1900 census in Liberty Township, Clay County, Missouri:
Dwelling 71
LLEWELLIN Charles Head White Male 38 (b. Feb 1862) Married MO KY KY Telegraph Operator
LLEWELLIN Lutie Wife White Female 32 (b. Mar 1868) Married Children 4/4 MO KY VA
LLEWELLIN Floyd Son White Male 13 (b. Mar 1887) Single MO MO MO At School
LLEWELLIN Percy Son White Male 11 (b. Dec 1889) Single MO MO MO At School
LLEWELLIN Jodell Daughter White Female 8 (b. Nov 1891) Single MO MO MO At School
LLEWELLIN Vernie Son White Male 7 (b. Dec 1892) Single MO MO MO At School
I assume Lutie Llewellin was the Mrs. Elizabeth M. Lewellyn, who would later marry Oscar P. McNees.
I suspect the 18-year-old Charles in this household on the 1880 census in Monroe Township, Monroe County, Missouri, was the father of Vernie Lewellyn:
LEWELLYN John W. Head Married Male White 59 KY VA MO Farmer
LEWELLYN Mary E. Wife Married Female White 54 KY MO MO Keeps House
LEWELLYN Charles L. Son Single Male White 18 MO KY KY Farmer
I found a World War I draft registration card for Vernie Lewellyn’s brother Floyd. It lists his full name as Floyd Sullivan Lewellyn. His address was 425 W. 15th Street, Kansas City, Missouri. His date of birth was 21 March 1887, which is consistent with the March 1887 birth date listed for him on the 1900 census. He was a “Natural Born Citizen.” His place of birth was listed as New London, Missouri. New London is the seat of Ralls County, which neighbors Monroe County to the east. He was listed as married. He was a telegrapher with the Western Union Company at 7th and Main Streets in Kansas City, Missouri. His personal particulars were Caucasian, tall, and slender build, with light blue eyes and dark brown hair. He had no disabilities.
I found a 33-year-old “Floyd S. Llewellyn” heading a household on the 1920 census in Kaw Township, Jackson County, Missouri:
LLEWELLYN Floyd S. Head Male White Married MO US US Telegrapher/Western Union
LLEWELLYN Cordelia Wife Female White 40 Married IL IL IL No occupation
Cordelia Jane “Delia” Laman, a daughter of Andrew and Margaret Laman, is reported to have married Floyd Lewellyn on 12 January 1914. It’s not clear where they married.
I think this was the household of Cordelia (Laman) Lewellyn’s father Andrew in Greenbush Township, Warren County, Illinois in 1880:
LAMAN Andrew Self Married Male White 36 IL NY OH Farm Laborer
LAMAN Margaret Wife Married Female White 25 IL --- IL Keeping House
LAMAN Mary M. Daughter Single Female White 3 IL IL IL
LAMAN Cordelia J. Daughter Single Female White 7M IL IL IL
LAMAN Cornelia J. Daughter Single Female White 7M IL IL IL
I assume Cornelia was Delia’s twin sister.
A Floyd S. Llewellyn (1887-?) and Cordelia J. Llewellyn (1879-1946) are listed as having been buried in the Oak Grove Cemetery outside Clarinda, Page County, Iowa, as are Cordelia’s parents, Andrew (1843-1930) and Margaret (1855-1944) Laman, and at least one of Cordelia’s sisters: Nora Ellen (Laman) Montgomery (1889-1976), the wife of William Burl Montgomery (1884-1947).
I can’t find a Missouri Certificate of Death for Floyd S. Lewellyn. However, there is a Missouri Certificate of Death for Cordelia Jane Llewellyn:
Place of Death: Parkville RFD 3, Platt County, Missouri
Usual Residence: Parkville RFD 3, Platt County, Missouri
Length of Residence in Community: 21 years
Date and Time of Death: 14 February 1946; 7:55 PM
Cause of Death: Carcinoma of Liver
Attending Physician: Chas. C. Montgomery, MD, 306 E. 12th Street, KC, MO
Date of Birth of Deceased: 26 October 1879
Age at Death: 66 years, 3 months, 18 days
Birthplace: Henderson County, Illinois
Personal Particulars: Female, White, and Married
Name of Husband: F.S. Llewellyn
Age of Husband if Alive: 58 years

Mother’s Birthplace: Illinois
Informant: F.S. Llewellyn
Informant’s Address: RFD 3, Parkville
Date of Removal: 15 February 1946
Burial Place: Clarinda, Iowa
Samuel King Montgomery, the father of Nora Ellen (Laman) Montgomery’s husband William, is reported to have been a physician. Samuel had a brother Charles, who also was a physician. I don’t know if the Charles C. Montgomery who was the Attending Physician at Delia Llewellyn’s death was that Charles Montgomery, some kin of his, or just coincidence.
I’ll quit here.
Perhaps you or some other reader can add more details.

Clete, thank you. This is wonderful. It sounds to me like this group from Jackson County would be descendants of William Lewelling of Randolph County, N.C. I'm glad you posted that and instead of trying to incorporate it above, I'll refer to your posting here.
GREAT find and research. Thank you so much. I can't tell you how much information such as this helps.
