Cherl; There are two SHAKE families in the 1860 census, both with a Taylorville address. No connection as far as I can tell. Bill Puckett

I am researching the Shake family in Christian County. Could this be the same family?

I don't have the Fayette Co, IL cemetery records. There are many cemeteries and many TRAYLORS buried in them. This was not my direct line, so have not had time to persue TRAYLOR. I just thought in case the Fayette Co. IL area might help I would tell you about it.

My husband's uncle, Russell North (1892-1959/60), married Gladys MARIE Cummings (1894-1964), dau. of John Lytle and Ella May Springer Cummings. I don't have anything else - the North's lived near Mechanicsburg, on the east side of Sangamon County, with Christian County right next door. Sorry I cant help more. DRoss

Hi, Tim: My Fraze family is from Grayson, County, Kentucky. I don't think we have a connection. Thanks. Pat

Were your TRAYLOR related to the ones in Fayette Co, IL? TRAYLOR is not a surname of mine, but my uncle by marriage was Wilbur TRAYLOR whose family came in to the Fayette Co, IL area early. There are many buried there. I hope this helps somehow.
