Notes for Adelbert REQUA

!SOUR: History of Bates County, Missouri, p. 383
     Adelbert Requa, who is farming one hundred and sixty acres of land in Lone
Oak township, is also cultivating forty acres owned by his sister.  Hw as
educated in the schools of Bates County and has always followed the pursuits of
a farmer and stockman.  He raises thoroughbred Hreford cattle and is a capable
farmer whose place is a model of neatness and indicates close and thorough
cultivation.  The Requa home place is one of the most attractive places in
Bates County.  The land is well watered and was formerly covered with timber
which grew in the deep rich soil, which has yielded bountiful crops for many
years.  Mr. Requa is a genial, whole-souled fellow, a Democrat in politics, and
is prominent in political circles in his native county.  He has served as
assessor of Pleasant Gap township and as tax collector of Lone Oak township.
Mr. Requa is accounted one of the ablest and most substantial of Bates county's
citizens and the members of this famous old family are held in high esteem
throughout the county.  No name in Bates county history annals has greater
significance or figures more prominently than Requa.  It is an honored one and
will forever be connected with the cradling of civilization in western
Missouri.

Notes for Austin REQUA

!SOUR: History of Bates County, Missouri, p. 383-4
     Austin Requa was reared a farmer in Bates County and was insured to the
hardships of frontier life.  When he was an infant in arms, his parents made
the journey from Fort Gibson to Harmony Mission.   A crossing of the Osage
river was necessary.  The river was filled with ice.  An Indian brought the
family across the stream in a canoe, made of buffalo skin, towing by means of a
thong held in his teeth and swimming through the icy waters.  In 1856, he
entered government land in Pleasant Gap township.  Three of his brothers served
in the Union army during the Civil War.  The pine lumber used in the
construction of the Requa home was hauled from Pleasant Hill, a distance of
sixty miles. During the Civil War, Mr. Requa resided in Kansas for a portion of
the time, and also saw service under the Union flag in the Kansas HOme Guards.
When the Lone Oak Presbyterian Church was organized in 1868 he was made elder,
an office which he held until his death.
     The land upon which the old Requa home place ws built was entered by
Austin Requa from the United States Government and the land patent was signed
by President Franklin
Pierce.

!SOUR: The Daily News, Tarrytown/Irvington, June 1, 1978
by Marcia Moore, Staff Writer
    "Not a Tory among them, nor a criminal, hardly an indigent person to this
day" -- the Rev. Amos C. Requa, 1838
     The story of the Requa family, which this year will celebrate the 300th
aniversary of the birth of the French Huguenot immigrant from whom they are all
descended, is an American classic.  It has moments of high drama, courage,
patriotism, and tragedy.  It is lacking in the stuff of good soap opera --
scandals, violence, fortunes made and lost.
     The history of the 1,600 Requa descendants is in many ways the story of
the American middle class.  "It almost defines and describes what we call
"American," said Dr. Louis Brennan of Ossining, professor of archaeology at
Pace University, and an expert on the Requa family.
      "The most important thing about the Requas is how quickly they became
totally American.  They were hard-working and prosperous.  They stayed out of
jail and avoided court proceedings.  They are the bone, muscle and griostle of
society, thoroughly people of today through every generation."
     If no Nobel-prize-winning scientist, Supreme Court Justice or novelist of
note has emerged from the family tree, neither has the family produced any
scoundrels or horse thieves.  "The Requas have always had good, solid jobs,"
Dr. Brennan
said.

!SOUR: History of Bates County, Missouri, by W. O. Atkeson, GenR 977.82 B32 At;
published by the Historical Publishing Co., Topeka/Cleveland, 1918; p. 382
     George Requa, paternal grandfather of "Del" Requa, whose name heads this
review, was a well-educated and devout man, one who was interested in
Christianizing the Indians of the JWest.  In 1826, he went to Fort Gibson,
Arkansas, and was connected with the Union Indian Mission at that point.  In
1827, he came to what is now Bates County, and was connected with the Harmony
Indian Mission until its abandonment in the early thirties.  The Requas were
all people of learning and intelligence and had a wide acquaintance among the
men of letters in their day.  Washington Irving, the famous novelist, during
his travels, paid a visit to the Requa at Harmony Mission, and secured material
for some of his stories while here.  While a guest of George Requa, he took the
father of "Del" Requa on his lap, Austin Requa was then but an infant, and
played with him.
     When the Mission disbanded in 1832, George Requa entered government land
near what was formerly known as Stumptown, north of Lone Oak.  He was
postmaster for some years, the postoffice being located in the Requa residence.
 After his death, his widow still kept the
postoffice.
