The McGready, Richeson, Dunklin, & Perrys of Missouri

This page traces the ancestors and descendants of the MCGREADY,RICHESON,DUNKLIN, PERRY, SULLIVAN(T), and HORD families of Washington County, Missouri. It contains over 4700 individuals and many other related families including Millner, McIlvaine, Austin, Bryan, Denton, Desloge, Cropper and Caffey. The Austins and Perrys were among the original settlers of Washington County in the late 1700s and were closely followed by the McGreadys, Dunklins, Sullivan(t)s, McIlvaines, Hords, and Desloges. The Dentons arrived in the 1850s and the Richesons migrated from Virginia after the Civil War. Most of the trees and reports go back to the first ancestors to arrive in America. Some go back even further to England, Ireland, etc. I am still searching for McGreadys and would welcome correspondence from any descendants of McGreadys. I also welcome correspondence and sharing of information with other family historians researching any of the families on this page
