WELCOME!

My name is Denise Woodside and I am the new county coordinator for the Ripley County MOGenweb page.  We are transitioning to our new site on the MOGenWeb domain, so we will have several broken links until we get them fixed.  Thanks for your patience, and don't hesitate to email if you have information that you would like to share.



Ripley County, missouri
MOGenWeb

Ripley county was organized January 5, 1833, from Wayne County and is named for Eleazer W. Ripley, a soldier of the War of 1812.

The County Seat is located at Doniphan, Missouri, and is divided up into the following political townships:
Pine, Kelley, Jordan, Johnson, Sherley, Doniphan, Flatwoods, Washington, West Doniphan, Varner, Gatewood, Union, Poynor, Harris and Thomas.

The Current River runs through the middle of the county. Like it's neighboring counties to the north, it is a popular resort area for fishing, float trips, and canoeing. Ripley County is rich in heritage and I am proud that my ancestors made Ripley County their home.
