Biography

NOT to be confused with his Uncle Robert who married Jane McClure. To clear up Robert Modrall (Modrell-236); he is my 3rd great grandfather. I have pictures of his son’s bible as well as his son’s narrative of the family marriages which shows #236 married Jane Campbell Evans. #236’s uncle; Robert Modrell/Motheral (Motheral-32) married Jane McClure. This Robert’s will recorded in Buchanan Co., Mo lists wife and children. Jane's will mentions her nephew (Gilmore) who is Robert Motheral #32 sister Motheral #20, Elizabeth's son). This shows that this Jane married Robert Modrell #236 uncle Motheral #32.
