- 40 acres of land was deeded to Mr. Pleasant Gentry by the US Government on 5 July 1832. In 1850 Mr Gentry's land was purchased by John Gosney, who with the help of Jesse DeBarry, had the site surveyed and "right of way" was established for roads to be constructed. The developing town was named "Gosneyville". Around 1884, Gosneyville was renamed "Paradise", reprotedly a descriptive name. (Clay County, MOGenWeb, 2006)
