I watched a Docu on that I was shocked at how far in a farmers field that thing was buried as you said quite far from the old flow.I could see a hundred ft or so but it was substantial.Guys were digging in spots that you or I would have been looking
this was long before the US Army Corps of Engineers started messing around with the channel

For pure genealogy purposes, there are a couple out of the way places I would like to see.  I have not made it, but my brother came back from New Jersey a couple weeks ago, and he stopped in Kentucky to see Argabright (my maiden name)  Hollow, which is over by Lodiberg (sp?).  Really pretty backwoods valley where our ancestors settled in the 1820's.  There is also an Argabright Fort around there somewhere.  On my husband's side of the family, we want to make a trip to Idaho to check out Schweitzer Valley.  Seems like our ancestors sure liked to live in out of the way places.  

Speaking of New Jersey, there is a great museum in Monroe, NJ. It is a geology and natural history museum, showcasing practical masonry with full size displays of stone products used in various building and landscaping projects.  There is also a man-made lake with a gazebo jutting out over the lake.  My brother married his wife there back in 2004.

Surname Database: Argabrite Last Name Origin (surnamedb.com)

My last name stumped them, and it is from England. 

So it's written in English, and it doesn't even have all the English surnames covered? 

Pretty lame.

When we were there an old timer was there giving his own version of the event. He claimed from his study this was not the Steamboat Bertrand at all. He claimed the Bertrand went down north of this site and this was an entirely different Steamboat. I believe over 400 steamboats sunk on the Missouri. Sometime in the past 5 years a similar exhibit was opened near Kansas City.
