The Following is taken from a History of La Belle Missouri history
 furnished to me by a descendant of the Quail Family (Barbra Miller) She states
 My parents live in Lewistown Missouri.A history of LaBelle was written a few
 years ago,my aunt has a copy and this is what I copied from it.This tidbit was
 written by Jennie Murphy (a distant cousin).In the year of 1857 my father William
 Chapman and Uncle Robert Quail came from Uniontown Pa to Locate in Lewis
 Co MO,a perfect wilderness at that time.Uncle Bob and Bill Chapman could only find log cabins in the
woods to live in.The pioneers at the time were Uncle Jake Haldeman
 Uncle Dennis Sutton,and Uncle Jake Victor who had arrived with their families
 a few months before and located on farms near La Belle then called LaPrarie.
 Robert Quail married a girl by the name of Mary Ann Haldeman.They lived for
 a while in Smithfield Pa for a while before moving to La Belle Mo when the town
 was 3 years Old.
 Jacob Victor was still living at home in the 1850 census of Fayette Co Pa.He
 married about 1853 in Fayette Co and his first two children were born there.
 About 1856 he migrated west to Missouri where by 1860 two more of his
 children were born in 1858 and 1860.He was Married to Elizabeth Haldeman
 probably the sister of the above Mary Ann Haldeman.Apparently these families
 migrated from Fayette Co together.
