I worked with an elderly lady, who never married with the last name Hewitt, many years ago. She and her family was from Carthage, Hancock Co., IL. I can't remember if this was the way she spelled her last named but would assume so. Her name was Percy. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Margaret Christensen" <mardarch@fmctc.com> To: <ILADAMS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, 13 October, 2002 11:53 AM Subject: [ILADAMS] Hewitt > Lucy, > > I am sorry, I do not have any other Hewitt names except that of my grandfather, James Oliver Hewitt, born Jan 1856 9n Illinois.

Do you have this cemetery book or books? Or have access to them . I am looking for my Hess family. My gg-grandfather and some of his children lived near Meyer, Adams Co. IL. I know where he, James G. ( probably George) HESS and his wife Mary E., a Cherokee, are buried, but wonder if any other family is buried in Adams Co., IL My grandmother has told me that he and quite a few brothers and one sister came to America from Germany. It is believed that he was a fur trader at one time. His son John David Hess was my g-grandfather. Would love to find an obit for both gg-grandparents. The picture of their tombstones looks as if James died possibly in 1913 and Mary died May, perhaps the 2nd, 1917. Mary was either born in June 1832 or 1852. I've never been to the cemetery but have a picture of their tombstone. Other living children of James and Mary at the time of the death of my g-grandfather, John David Hess, were Otto HESS and Mrs. Belle MURRAY, of La Salle, IL. John David's obit states the family lived thirty years on a farm near Meyer. John David Hess later moved to Canton, MO where my grandmother was born. Would appreciate any help.

Sorry to cross-post, but I am sooo excited. I am going to the Illinois State Historical Library tomorrow for the first time. My sister is watching my 2 youngest kids and I am going to have about 4 hours there! - not enough, but beggars can't be choosers. It's going to be my first visit. I am trying to get together a list of must-dos, but I didn't know if any of you who had been there could give a recommendation. I don't know what the best resources are there. Is there anything you would suggest? Carla
