• Notes

  E-mail correspondence 2014 from descendant Dianne Gomez: "My FamilyTree Maker notes are as follows: Elizabeth Ann McFarland's family came to Cooper County, MO on a New Madrid earthquake claim about 1816. They lived in tents on the Edwin Carl farm and she told her granddaughter, Robna Rankin, that her family kept a fire going outside the tents and were never cold all that first winter. She was born in a log cabin on the Carl farm in 1824. ... The Carl farm was just down the road from our homestead which became Rankin's Mill on the Petite Saline creek outside of Boonville, MO. ...I don't know if I told you that my cousin, Dale Smith, now farms the old homestead and is the 5th generation to own the farm. It is a place of deep emotion and memory for all of my Smith/Rankin family. The "big" house was built in 1850 by William Rankin and Elizabeth McFarland Rankin and my aunt lives in it now. The family story is that they lived in a log cabin at the foot of the hill by the creek and William Rankin milled the boards to build the house at Rankin's Mill. They carried their infant son, Robert, up the hill through the wheat fields to the house and his gown (as babies wore in those days) dragged across the top of the wheat. I've heard that story all my life. "
