The following info came from Charlene Chambers King at the following web site:

Robert Faires and Susannah Orr were both born and raised in North Carolina. They married on May 23, 1816 in Mecklenburg Co., North Carolina. After Robert and Susannah married, they lived in North Carolina until Nov 16, 1831, the day they started to move west to Tennessee. They landed in Campbellsville, Giles County, Tennessee on Dec 20, 1831. They lived there until Sept. 1, 1836, when they started west. Robert and Susannah joined a wagon train headed to Pulaski County, Missouri. The Gribsbys and Brownlows were also part of that wagon train (Who were all the families in this wagon train?). They arrived at Onyx on the Osage Fork of the Gasconade River, in Pulaski County, Missouri, on Dec. 4, 1836. Robert built a mill and store there, which was destroyed by a flood in 1840. This forced them to move to higher ground. This is when many moved to the Drynob area and this is my understanding how Drynob got it name.
About 1839 Robert had a mill on Osage Fork and a store. The first Monday in April 1849, after Laclede Co. was formed, the first election was held resulting in the election of Robert Farris to be one of three Judges for the newly formed Laclede Co., MO. At the first meeting of the County Court Robert Farris was elected to be the presiding judge.
Robert Faires was appointed the school commissioner in 1851.
About some of Robert and Susannah's children:
Mary Elizabeth married Thomas Honssinger in 1846. They raised their family in the Drynob area. They are my great great great grandparents. Cynthia married Terrill Grigsby in 1838. They moved to Napa Valley Calif. about 1852. Jane Priscilla married William Grigsby Brownlow in 1842. They raised their family in the Drynob area.

Oct 1840 Robert Faires served as Postmaster in Onyx, Pulaski County, Missouri (source: History of Pulaski County, MO, vol 2, found in the Salt Lake City FHL.)

"History of Laclede County, First County Board
The First County Board below was taken from the book History of Laclede, Camden, Dallas, Webster, Wright, Texas, Pulaski, Phelps and Dent Counties published by Goodspeed Publishing Company in 1889.
First County Board. -- In accordance with the provisions of the foregoing act [forming of Laclede County], an election was held at the required number of places within the county, on the first Monday in April, 1849, and Robert Faires , William Smith, and Samuel W. Barnes were elected county court justices, John S. Shields sheriff and John L. Herndon clerk of the county court. In further obedience to the act, these officers, after being duly commissioned and qualified, met at the house of L. Murphy, about two miles east of the present site of Lebanon, on the 31st day of May following, and there organized the county court by electing Hon. Robert Faires as its presiding judge."

James Orr and wife Margaret are buried at Philadelphia Presbyterian Church, and are not the same couple as James Orr and wife Margaret Jane Lemmond who lived in the same area.

Boyd_Linda Roster of Soldiers from North Carolina in the American Revolution - NSDAR - NC: This book was reprinted in 1967, 1972 and 1977. It was originally published by the North Carolina Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) Durham, 1932. It was the goal of the National Daughters to produce a one-volume publication giving the names and records of the men serving in the Revolution from each of the 13 original states comprised in our Republic covering the 1776 - 1783 years. The NC Daughters, at the request and instigation of the National Board in April, 1929, undertook such a compilation for their own state. On 3 July 1929, the NC State DAR Officers , lead by Mrs. R. Duke Sloan, State Historian for NSDAR - NC met with the NC Historical Commission and Archives. At that time, Dr. A.R. Newsome was State Chairman of the Historical Commission. The Herculean task had begun. This is an outstanding record of research and hopefully there is a copy in a library near you - or even better, a copy on your own shelf. You will refer to it so often.
