Kentuckiana Genealogy: Queries: Unsolved Mysteries: ARCHIVED QUERIES: Samuel David Sanders, Jr. Roots

I have for some time been trying to locate the
ancestral line of one of my wife’s ancestors,
Samuel David Sanders, Jr.. He was born in Kentucky
in about 1817, was married to Amelia Mosely in
Newton County, Missouri on 22 March, 1843, and
died in Sarcoxie, Newton County, Missouri on 10
January 1853.

According to family records, he was born in
Louisville, but I have not been able to find any
public records which would verify this. I have
located a Sanders family in Ghent, Gallatin
County, which had a number of Davids in it, but I
have not been able to tie him into this. There is
also a Thomas Sanders living in the same county in
Missouri (Jasper) as Samuel at the time of the
1850 census, who moved from Kentucky to Missouri
at about 1840. They may or may not have been
related.

Does anyone know anything, or have any suggestions
which would sh
