Notes for Larkin Norfleet:

Larkin Norfleet was born on 30 September 1815 in Wayne County, Kentucky. He was the youngest child of James Norfleet. He was educated at home using the subscription schools of the era. As stated above, he worked with his brother Ivy in the stock raising/droving business for a period of twelve years. In 1839, he married Frances Gann (the daughter of Thomas and Frances Gann) in Wayne County, Kentucky, by whom he had ten children:

Larkin acquired his father's old 105-acre tract on the Cumberland River, from his siblings, by Russell County indenture, dated 8 October 1846 (see Deed Book F, Page 181). Larkin's father James died on this farm in 1849. Larkin sold the old 105-acre homestead to William Heriford by indenture, dated 3 March 1853 (see Russell County Deed Book F, Page 102).

In 1852, Larkin and his family moved to Miller County, Missouri and there acquired some excellent farmland. His farm was very prosperous in the years before the Civil War. However, during the War, Miller County was the scene of much guerrilla warfare and he and his family suffered greatly. In 1869, he moved to Lafayette County, Missouri where he acquired another farm in the Mayview Township area. He remained in Lafayette County until his death on 17 August 1904.

Madison went to Saline County, Missouri about 1841 and died in 1844 before the lawsuits were resolved.
