The lived in the Christian, Macoupin County areas.

Cindy, I was born in Pana, Ill. There was a family owned photography studio called Morosko (sp?) Studios I don't know if it is still in business but check the yellow pages or Directory assistance for the phone number. If you have any luck let me know. My mother had my portrait done there when I was a toddler but we lost the portrait over the years. It would be nice to know if there are copies or records of old photos.

Mrosko Studio in Pana, Il. 222 N 2600 East Rd. ph. 217 562 4422. They've done good by me.

I found this site for SHARP and thought I'd post it in case the local SHARP family are dec's of this line. SHARP ROOTS: Genealogical data on the Peter SHARP family of Pennsylvania, beginning with Peter (1729-1795) and Mary (1733-1799) SHARP of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. They purchased a farm north of the present village of Intercourse, Leacock Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania on 5 May 1764 and this is the earliest public record discovered to date. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~sharproots/ THANKS.....:-)* Sally Hathaway.... sjhathaway@aol.com

Does anyone happen to know of this woman? She married a David Mills in Christian County in 1880 (according to index). Unfortunately, I can't locate her after the 1880 census where she is a servant for a family in May Township. The only David Mills listed in the 1900 Census for this county (that I have seen) is married to an Elizabeth A who claims to have been married for 20 years and with 6 children born/6 living. All the children are listed with them. The only marriage listed in the index to a David and Elizabeth took place in 1890 in Cook County. Now my problem... Is Sarah and Elizabeth A the same woman? And if not what happened to Sarah and how/why did David marry Elizabeth so quickly? I am trying to figure out if the Clyde listed in the 1900 census is my Great Grandfather. So far all the information I have recieved on him doesn't list a mother only the father (David Mills). I am trying to get a birth certificate soon. I did locate an obituary for an Alfred Mills who is also listed in the 1900 with them and he lists everyone including his parents. But unfortunately he lists Clyde as living in Indiana and as far I can figure out, my Great Grandfather was living in Peoria at that time. Sorry this is long and I hope it makes sense and someone can help me out. Or give me another direction to look. I have looked at it so long that it is really starting to confuse me. Tori

So far I find that Hazel was the dau of Dr Goldsmith of Ramsey IL. I'll keep looking. THANKS.....:-)* Sally Hathaway.... sjhathaway@aol.com Owner...ILROUTE66 LIST

Hi Jerry I'm related to the Dunbar's and I will look thru my papers to see if I can answer your querry. Daniel Dunbar was my Ggrandfather and he was also Sheriff of CC for 2 terms and a deputy and Justice of the Peace. THANKS.....:-)* Sally Hathaway.... sjhathaway@aol.com

Thanks for looking Sally. Tori

HI I only find 6 Shotton's and 2 Shotten's and they are in Oak Hill Cem in Taylorville. The names don't match nor the dates. Someone else might have some cemetery books for the Pawnee area thou. THANKS.....:-)* Sally Hathaway.... sjhathaway@aol.com

I am trying to locate a burial site or death information for 2 babies of Andrew and Mary Ethel Shotton. I am pretty sure that her maiden name was Minder but that isn't confirmed...doing that now. In the 1910 Census she lists she had 2 children/0 living. The time frame would be from 1908 to 1910 census. I have looked in the Pawnee Sangamon side as that is where the majority of the rest of the family is buried but no luck so far. Can anyone help me out or point me in the correct direction? Thanks Tori
