I worked on land\real estate ownership records in ten states as a realty specialist for the gov't, and I am not aware of any state that requires rerecording deeds once you have acquired real estate. There are annual tax records, mortgage records, etc., but unless the land owner passes the title thru sale, will or other device, there will be no further recording of the deed. In representing the gov't, I negotiated the purchase of a tract in Delaware Co., OH which had been in the same family since the ancestor had acquired the land by grant, signed by President Madison - in abt 1810, as I recall - and the only transactions since that time had been three records of probate. One of the common problems that we had in acquiring property for gov't projects, was that the owners of record had died, oft-times many years ago, and there was now no one living that could give title. Current occupants were often surprised and upset to learn that relatives that they had never heard of were considered by the law to be "part-owner" of the land, by virtue of the failure to have probated the estate, oft-times 50 or more years previously, and there were now many dozens of "heirs". I don't know of any state that requires the probate of an estate or transfer of title, as long as the taxes are paid currently. Think about your own property - if you died tomorrow, with heir(s), who continued to pay the taxes, it is most unlikely that the fact that the owner (you) had died would come to the attention of the local officials - unless there was an action in probate. Even in small communities, where everyone "knows" everything about everybody, it is not likely that any action would be taken unless the heirs took it. > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Author: joanlund > Surnames: > Classification: queries > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.illinois.counties.pike/3587.2/mb.ashx > > Message Board Post: > > I ran into the problem in Pike county that the land was still in the family and nothing was recorded in the court house but the original entry and in Illinois they apparently don't have to until the land is sold outside the family.

I originally failed to find them so located them in 1860 in Missouri. Since Susannah/Susan was the youngest, and all children had been born in Illinois, I went back to 1850 and asked for A Sus* b. Illinois, 1848 with a 2 year window in age in Brown County....thankfully you knew the county!! Anyway I have saved the image and if you would like me to send it to you PLEASE EMAIL ME DIRECTLY. At that time I will give you the names that were involved. They do match up with the first names in 1860 EXCEPT for the father (grin)! Hate this new system with no contact point!!

ANSWER TO BELOW: LP, I also put a message on the board but so no one would keep looking I wanted to reply here also. I found your family.....interesting experiment in finding someone!! Long story short I found them in 1860 in Missouri, and since Susanah/Susan was possibly the youngest, I asked for a Sus* b. Illinois 1848 with a 2 year window in Brown County, Illinois. Apparently Elijah had a middle name of Silas and that was how he was listed PLUS the surname was messed up. In 1860 he was listed Elijah S. Anyway, here's the data from 1850 and 1860. Since there was no EMAIL address for you on the board please contact me directly and I will send you the 1850 image.

I do believe that Robert O. is mine. His mother is living with him in 1900 and 1910 and one in of the census he says he is Divorced and the other one says he is widowed... He has a son Robert Clarence at this time also... John S. was born in Kentucky around 1807 and Martha was born in 1813 in Adair Co., Kentucky. I have seen where John and Matha married in October 1830 in Pike, IL but I can not find it in the marriage index... I am wondering if it was Pike Co., Mo... as supposedly that is where the O'Neals (Martha's family was from)... Thanks for the info!

Thanks Lois, I had found the site and see they started around 1849 so I'll bet that is where they sent her. Will have to see what the County Clerk in Quincy has on it before I get a hold of Jacksonville. Roberta Summers ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Thanks a lot. I know about Jacksonville but I don't know when it started. Will have to check that out. I don't think it's a mental hospital now but I can't remember what they call it. I do know they still have records. My Grandmother was there and I went through a judge and got her records. Again thanks for your answer.

When I grew up in the 50's and 60s, we just referred to as "Jacksonville" when we were talking about anyone in the mental hospital. This is a website that seems to give a pretty good history of the hospital. Note that the article is nine pgs long, so keep clicking thru the site. http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3945/is_199904/ai_n8830406/pg_1 [email protected] wrote: Thanks a lot.
