I am researching the surnames Roberts or Robards, Edwards, Hall, Hummel, Ridgway or Ridgeway, Fountain, Short, Little, and Long, among others. These families lived or are living in central and southwest Missouri, particularly in Boone County and Jasper County. Most seem to have found their way to Missouri from Virginia, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina since 1820, although some of my data goes back into the late 1700's.
My parents are originally from Sturgeon, Missouri, and my wife's parents are from Monett and Carterville in southwest Missouri. In the late 20's and 30's both families found their way into Columbia, Missouri.

I have many blanks to fill in and many mysteries to solve, so help and sharing of information would be appreciated.
