I am seeking information on the whereabouts of two siblings by the name of Angeline and Charles Bennett. Believe their mother's name may be Olive. Found them living on the 1860 census of Knox County, IL with their grandfather Clark Benney (should be Bennett). Their father COULD be Levi or Daniel Bennett. Found them( Angeline and Charles) on the 1870 census of Champaign County living with Clark's daughter Calista Bennett Holmes, the wife of Cyrus Holmes. Charles was next found on the 1880 census of Champaign County with Clark Bennett's granddaughter Alice Holmes. Alice was the daughter of Cyrus Holmes and Calista Bennett------she being the daughter of Clark. Have not been able to find Angeline on the 1880 census or any marriage listing that "fits" for either Angeline or Charles. Can anyone help with this puzzle??? I appreciate your time and your thoughts and suggestions. Deanna

Hello Fellow Champaign County Researchers, I live on the West Coast, so going to Illinois is on the "impossible" list for right now-------perhaps you can help me with some of the following surnames. All of the following came to Champaign County from 1850-1870 and lived and died there: I have BROWN, PAYTON, ROSS, EARLEY, WRIGHT, COOK, COLLISON, PITTS, HOLMES, PRILEY/PLILEY, PLUE, TILGHMAN, LONGSHORE, ZORGER, HARNIT-------just named a few for starters. Rev.John H. Payton came from Indiana and settled in Ludlow, often preaching at the local Methodist Episcopal church. He married Temperance Dragoo in Delaware County, Indiana. They had several children one being Rebecca Emeline Payton who married Courtland Brown. Courtland was the son of Isaac J. Brown and Margaret Coffin/Coffing. Courtland had a brother by the name of William Taylor Brown who married Laura Stewart. Courtland at times was a school teacher and he also was the "clerk" for the 1880 census of Harwood, Champaign County, IL census Courtland Brown and Rebecca, known as "Emma" had several children with one surviving childhood---my grandfather: Lloyd Logan Brown. He married Golda/Goldie Pitts, the daughter of Orren Pitts and Rose Earley. Rose was the daughter of John Earley and Alice Holmes. Alice was the daughter of Cyrus Holmes and Calista Bennett, another early Champaign County pioneer family. They raised a large family in Champaign County. Orren was the son of Esther Ross and Thomas Pitts. Thomas was the son of Henry Pitts and Margaret Wright who came to McLean County, IL in 1830 and then moved on to Champaign County. Margaret was the sister of William Garrison Wright of McLean and DeWitt Counties. Orren and Rose had Goldie/Golda Pitts who married Lloyd Brown( as previously mention). He was a barber in Gifford in the very early 1900's. Lloyd and Goldie had 4 children from 1916-1922. The father died in 1921 and the mother in early 1923. The children were adopted by Fred Priley and his wife Nettie Plue Priley. The Priley's were friends of Goldie Pitts Brown. John Ross came from Wetzel County, West Virginia. He married Marinda Ullom Butcher (a widow) and they lived in Compromise and Gifford. They had four daughters: Priscilla, Henrietta, Savannah and Esther. John married 2nd: Mary Dickerson. The four daughters of John and Marinda married men by the name of Isaiah Zorger, Charles Cook, Alfred Collison and of course--Thomas PItts. .ANY INFORMATION ON THESE PEOPLE WOULD BE APPRECIATED. I DO HAVE EXTENSIVE DATA ON MOST OF THEM, BUT AM LOOKING FOR THE "HUMAN" HISTORY OF THEIR LIVES. IN OTHER WORDS, MORE THAN A DATE AND A PLACE, BUT A HISTORY, A TOMBSTONE, NEED PICTURES, ETC. THANKS SO MUCH. JUST WANTED TO RUN BY ALL OF YOU A FEW OF MY NAMES TO SEE IF I CAN LINK UP WITH ANYONE. Deanna

Jeanne- I don't understand- I am not playing any games- I am really confused here! I just sent you an email about- this all!

The so-called ``My Party'' worm, which is not considered destructive, spreads by infiltrating popular email software Microsoft Windows Address Book and Outlook Express Database. The worm emails itself to every person in an infected users' email log making it look as if the worm comes from a colleague or friend, experts said

Diane, Funeral homes today are required to have that death certificate, and for a death as recent as the 1950's they surely would still have it on file. It would be worth a try! Marian

Jennifer, Have you tried to contact the funeral home for a copy of his death certificate? They should have had a copy. Marian

Hi I sent for a copy of my great grandfather's death certificate (died 1958 in Champaign). The IL Dept Public Health sent back a certified statement that they could not find his death certificate. His daughter is still living and in good mental health and she tells me I have the correct death date and city. What should I infer from the Dept of Public Health not being able to find his death certificate? He was Catholic and attended St. Patrick's Church in Urbana. Is it likely they would have funeral records? THanks for any help. Jennifer Auten

Is there someplace in Illinois where I can write and have them do a lookup for me on the 1890 Veterans Schedule? I'm seeking a William CONNER who is supposedly on this schedule. Thanks!

I have only found bits and pieces of my Hays family in and around Champaign county in 1800's. My ggrandfather was Rankin Hays, married to Hannah Crance Hays. They are in the 1860 census, shown on a farm with farm hands and some family members. I was sent some info about their son, John C. Hays and the article said Hannah died in 1860 and Rankin in 1864, but gave no place of death or burial. Rankin's brother, Benjamin, his sister, Sarah (Mrs. Laban Blackmore) is said to be buried in the cem. at Sydney along side her son, but she is not listed on the Sidney cem.list that I have, although her son is. Rankin also had a sister,Jane Thompson who lived in Champaign co.---I have visited the library there, but had only a small amount of time to search as we were only passing through. If there are any Hays, Thompson or Blackmore descendants still living there, I would really like to hear from them. thank you, Shirley Taylor
