General Notes

 WILLIAM A. CRESON,

farmer and stock raiser, section 31, owes his nativity to Surry county,
North Carolina, where he was born in 1832.  George CRESON, his father, also
born in North Carolina in 1798, married Miss Eunice HADLEY, of the same
state.  Nine children were born of this union, six of whom are living.
William accompanied his parents to Missouri in 1840, locating in Howard
county, which has since been his home.  In 1858 Miss Nancy J. ROBB became
his wife, and they have four children living--George William,  Sterling
Price, Caleb W., and Ann M.  Mr. CRESON was not in the service during the
war, though his sympathies were with the southern cause.  Politically he is
now a greenbacker, though formerly a democrat.  His farm contains eighty
acres.
