Freda, there is a Robinson family 2 doors down from a Coleman family. That family is A.C. Robinson, 27 (Al, SC, AL) and wife M.E. 25 (has had 4 children, 3 living); Laura 7, Jesse 3, and Roy 1. I can't find a "Leila" anywhere in the 1910 Monroe census (at least she is not indexed).

Forgive my cross-posting, but there have been CHISHOLM queries on both lists recently and the families are probably related. Does anyone have a connection they are aware of to Catherine CHISHOLM below? Catherine CHISHOLM was born 6 June 1772 in Scotland. She married John D. McCASKILL on 5 October 1797 in Scotland (Isle of Skye.) They immigrated to South Carolina in 1811 and moved from Kershaw Co., SC to Pike Co., AL in 1841. They are on the 1850 census of Pike Co. They are both buried in Brundidge, but I do not have the name of the cemetery. She died in 1855 and her husband died in 1859. We have a good bit of information on our McCASKILL line but nothing more on Catherine CHISHOLM. Evelyn Leslie Remlap, AL [email protected]

As a result of harsh conditions, thousands died at the camp; they were buried in unmarked paupers' graves in Chicago's City Cemetery, located at the southeast corner of what is now Lincoln Park.
