Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Wg.2ADE/3868.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Lynnea, this comes from a book entitled "People's History of Quincy & Adams Co., Il.", published in the early 1970s. "Along the Norfolk & Western Railroad (previously the Wabash) which runs through the northeastern part of the township(Houston), a town was organized in the 1880s. A store & depot were built, and also a post office. Soon after a grain elevator was erected and ever since large quantities of wheat, corn and soybeans are loaded here. The elevator is all that is left of the town which was named after B.I.Chatten of Quncy. (The spelling is now Chatton)" There's also a list of county officials which contains a B.J. Chatten--not sure if this is a misread name or a different person. Anyway, he was a county surveyor from 1851 to 1861. Thought the part about the town was interesting. Libby

Also, if you have access to the census thru Ancestry.com, the 1900 census has an entire district (144) in Quincy devoted to the residents of the Soldiers & Sailors home. Most were civil war vets. There are 39 pages of censuses with about 50 names per page.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Wg.2ADE/3891.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Okay, Rick, here's what I found: the only mention of a Rueben Smith was in "People's History of Quincy & Adams Co., Il." published in the early 1970s. Under the heading McKee Township, Ruben (sic) Smith is listed as an early settler, presumably before 1850. Found quite a few McCoys, so will list them all (from same book): In 1839 a John McCoy sold a parcel of land in Adams Co. to Jim Hopper. The next year McCoy sold him more land; no township listed. 1906 Blatchford A. McCoy elected county treasurer. 1832 Joseph McCoy & Robbins McCoy mustered in on April 20 to fight in the Black Hawk War The Mexican War--(late 1840s) J. McCoy, private, member of Quincy Rifles, 93 Irish Co 12 early 1840s R.McCoy started the first store in Beverly Twp. Robert McCoy (same person?) built & operated the packing house. "Shortly after the Civil War, the Rev. Reuben K McCoy, a Presbyterian minister, residing in Clayton, Illinois, discovered and developed Siloam Springs and recommeneded the spring waters to the public. He named the springs "Siloam" after the scriptural waters mentioned in John 9:11." Now, from the book "Quincy & Adams Co.", published 1919; "The McCoys Found the Village" "....the founding of the village of Clayton, in the summer of 1834, by the three McCoy brothers, Charles, Rev. Reuben K., and John. ...Charles McCoy, being an ardent admirer of Henry Clay named it in honor of the great statesman. Rev. R.K. McCoy, a presbyterian minister, erected the first residence in the new town. Two years afterward, a church of his denomination was organized at Clayton, and he presided over it there until his death in 1874. Charles McCoy built & opened the first store, but sold....a few months afterward." That's about it; hope this helps. Libby

Can I ask you about this Reuben McCoy. I have a Reuben McCoy who married a Octavia Castleman Hawkins. Her parents being Moses and Sarah (Castleman) Hawkins. Is your Reuben in this family?

I can get them from the Library. I'll go Tuesday.
