Hi Linda, I do not have your information of the gravesites, but I do have some other questions of the Gish Family. I just found out that my Great Grandfather, James Gish Prather was born in Wheeling, Livingston County, Missouri. His father and mother are Marshall Prather and Susan Finley (on James' death certificate) ( a Prather historian has her last name as Ferily)from Linnens, Linn County, Missouri. Now, Marshall's relatives have come from Madison County, Kentucky. Marshall and Susan were married in 1857 by a Irvin Ogan in Lecompton Township, Douglas County, Kansas. I have found a nephew of Irvin Ogan and have e-mailed him. He replied and said his Ogan family came from Madison County, Kentucky and settled in Linn County, Missouri, Also, Irvin had a son Andrew Gish Ogan. There seems to be a Gish family involved here, either in Kentucky or Missouri. I have found several Gish families in Missouri and I'm wondering if you had any more information of a Ogan, Prather, and Gish tie sometime back? Thanks,Dale Looper
