Amy JONES, d/o Isaac JONES and Rachel OSBORN I have Isaac Jones and his wife Rachel and a son Zebedee as being buried at the Skaggs Cemetery in Dry Grove Township in McLean County, Illinois. I got this information from the Skaggs Cemetery records at the Lexington Genealogical Society in Lexington, IL. Isaac is also on the McLean County 1840 census as age 70-80. Isaac died March 5, 1844 and was born about 1769 in Virginia. His wife Rachel was born in Virginia also and died Sept 18, 1837. Their son Zebedee was born 1803 and died 1833. There is also an obituary of Amy Jones Carlock in the Daily Pantagraph microfilm section at the library in Bloomington, Illinois. I have a copy of it and it reads: Pioneers Pass Away Two Aged Ladies, Mrs Carlock and Mrs. Wakefield Close Their Eyes in Death On Friday evening, at her home in Kansas township, Woodford county, occurred the death of Mrs. Amy Carlock. She was born in Eastern Tennessee June 12, 1787, and therefore lacked two months of being 94 years of age. She was the widow of Reuben Carlock who died April 17, 1854, just thirty seven years to a day before Mrs. Carlock died. They were married December 15, 1816 in Tennessee and all of their children now living except John J., were born there. Mr. and Mrs. Carlock moved to Illinois and settled in White Oak Grove in 1827. The following are their surviving children: Winton Carlock of Hudson, John J. Carlock of Watseka, Mahala Brown, widow of Reuben Brown, and Mihill Brown, widow of James Brown. The funeral took place at 10 o'clock yesterday at Carlock and an immense concourse of people attended. Rev. G. W. Minier condecuted the services and the remains were laid at rest in the old White Oak Grove cemetery. .......... Hope this is some help to someone. Helen MarleneYenerich (hmykeno@aol.com)
