Hi, Teri, I don't see anything on William Walker born Nov 1850. Couldn't even define him in http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=census/searc h_census.asp Have you tried to find any of their family in the 1880 census? There are many Walkers throughout the entire history of our County. I was more fortunate in finding Creel info. In 1850, Berryman and Lovina Creel (second wife?) are Household 611 in http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilclint2/census/1850census008.htm Son from first marriage (?) lives next door. 1860 Clinton County Census: Household 732 Creel, Berryman, 62, farmer, VA Lovincy, 42, Tenn Jane, 22, IL Jackson, 21, laborer, IL Harvey, 18, laborer, IL Nancy, 13, IL Lydia, 17, IL (age probably wrong based on 1870 census) Phebe, 5, IL Curlee, Eliza, 13, IL Household 733 Creel, James M., 36, farmer, IL Creel, Nancy, 20, IL Van, Emaline, 18, IL Unknown, Paul, 38, laborer, Germ Foster, Jackson, 19, laborer, Germ Household 696 Creel, Mary, 35, IL Mary, 16, IL Alonzo, 13, IL Lovincy, 8, IL Berry, 6, IL Theophilus, 6, IL Joy, Meridith, 26, laborer, IL 1870 Clinton County Census Household 58-59, Santa Fe Township Richard, Stephen, 21, farmer, $4,200 $1,230 IL Richard, Lydia, 19, housekeeper, IL Creel, Louvinia, 54, IL Creel, Febe, 16, IL Sandlen, Amen, 33, Farm Labor, Ger Household 59-60 Creel, James, 44, farmer, $5,000 $1,289 IL Creel, Nancy, 30, housekeeper, IL Bar, Cornelius, 13, IL The only Creel left in Clinton County 1880 census is 25 year old Berryman. There are none in 1900. There are 3 other Creel hits online at http://surhelp-bin.rootsweb.com/surindx.pl?site=ILCLINTON&letter=CP James M. Creel is buried in the oldest portion of the Carlyle City Cemetery. He was born 4 Oct 1823, died 10 Feb 1875. His probate box was # 117, administrator was Nancy Creel. Other probate boxes are: Lovincy's will is in probate box # 69. Dewitt Creels probate box 139, administrator Berryman Creel. Creel, Berryman, # 130, adm. Ezekial J. Creel. The Illinois State Marriage Data Base is at http://www.sos.state.il.us/departments/archives/genealogy/forms/marrsrch.htm l Again, I don't see William Walker - Creel marriage. I'd recommend you just insert Creel in the bride line and see what you get. Perhaps they married in Washington Co. which are not included in the data base yet. I recommend that you also list your query on http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilclint2/queries/subquery.htm so that if other researchers in the worldwide Rootsweb system search on your surnames, they'll be able to contact you. Let me know if you have more questions.
