The SOHN farm rang a bell. My great great grandfather Johann Ernst Peter RASCHE is supposed to be buried there. I just couldn't figure out where Beaver Prairie was and this information has helped me to pull a few more loose strings together. Thank you everyone for your help.

These are excerpts taken from Carlyle newspapers: Oct. 16, 1876 Mr. Joseph Cornelius, a resident of this county for many years, died in Carlyle on Sunday morning last. The deceased had been afflicted with the dropsy for several years, and for some time previous to his death was wholly incapacitated for work. He leaves a wife and five children who are in a destitute condition and are worthy objects of charity. January 4, 1877 Ladies, take the combings of your hair to Mrs. Jos. Cornelius, and have it made into a beautiful "switch." By doing this you will benefit yourselves and help a worthy soldier's widow, with a family of children dependent upon her. March 8, 1907 The infant child of Mr. and Mrs. William Cornelius died Wednesday morning at six o'clock, and was buried at three o'clock Wednesday afternoon in the Pritchett cemetery. July 26, 1901 Keyesport news: John Cornelius, aged 20, and Jesse Cornelius, 18, both of whom reside near Boulder, were drowned in the Kaskaskia river south of here several miles Sunday morning. ----- Original Message ----- From: <gc-gateway@rootsweb.com> To: <ILCLINTO-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, March 28, 2008 4:38 PM Subject: [ILCLINTO] Cornelius of Virginia, that moved to Clinton County,illinois area > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Author: jandmmoran2 > Surnames: Cornelius, Bannon, Durbin, Lannert > Classification: queries > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.illinois.counties.clinton/430/mb.ashx > > Message Board Post: > > i am trying to research a Cornelius member or family that left virginia - > moved to illinois - they are in the 1840 federal census of perry county > illinois. listed as a husband, wife and 2 boys age around 5 & 10.

I will definitely keep my eyes open though - that is interesting ... i can go back to the 1840 Census in illinois with this family - have you been able to get back any further?? in illinois Here is my path backwards: me - my Dad, Robert Cornelius Lannert - his mother Anna Martha Cornelius - her father Daniel J. Cornelius - his father joseph Cornelius and his father J.W. Cornelius - but i am still trying to figure out where Cornelius goes in Virginia - there are quite a few of them - as i think there were quite of few in southern illinois too.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: ArthurBurch308 Surnames: CORNELIUS, BURCH, FUCHS Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.illinois.counties.clinton/430.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Hello, While I've never heard of your CORNELIUS family, your message certainly piqued my interest. My aunt's name was Ruby Cornelius BURCH, and I've often wondered where she got the name. I now wonder whether we might possibly have a connection? Ruby Cornelius BURCH was born 3/15/1907 to Enoch Arden and Anna Marie (FUCHS) BURCH. Enoch was born 3/11/1867 in Carlyle, Clinton Co., IL. Enoch's brother, William Allen BURCH was also born in Clinton Co. on 10/04/1859. Birth info for both Enoch and William is from their Death Certificates. I've never found any other information about them (or their family) prior to the 1900 Census, but later Census Records say that their parents were born in VA/WV. Do you happen to know of any connection between your CORNELIUS relatives and any BURCH or FUCHS family? Thanks for any possible clues you might provide.

I have a note that Theresa KOELMEL was born 16 Feb 1873 and is listed in the Clinton Co Birth Record Book 1 on page 300 but I can no longer find my record of that page/entry. If anyone has the ability to look this up, I would appreciate it. According to the 1880 Census, she was born in Baden, Germany but I have been unable to prove that, too.
