Putnam County, - Union / Unionville and Liberty

Morning folks, new to GeneologyWise and the Missouri Group ....
Looking for connections to Waite, Hodges and Baccus families in this area of Missouri in the 19th and 20th century. Elza Hewitt Waite, my grandfather 1888-1964, his father of the same name, 1851-1890, and mother Mary Elzina Bacus, 1838-1934. Typical westward movement families, from the east (Vermont, New York) through Ohio in the mid 19th century
