Thanks so much for looking that up for me, so it is only an index to tell you what page, right? The ones in Wesley chapel are his son and daoughter in law. I will have to see about finding out if that John H. Russell is mine. Thanks so much. Pam

Some of the Russell came out of Dearborn Co In. Most of this family is buried in the Berlin Cem and some of the descendents still live around Oblong Il. My Grand Aunt was Anna Russell born 1885 in Dearborn Co, IN. She married Aaron David Perry in Crawford Co, Il and later moved to Monroe Co IN. Anna's father died in Dearborn Co IN at a young age. I believe he is buried in the Sparta Cem in Dearborn Co as the family still pays up keep on the Cem. I visited with some of the Russell descendants in the fall and plan to go back for the family reunion in the spring/summer. I will share what I have but it isn't much. all My Best Debra Barnes

Pam: I show a John H Russell and a John Russell in the index for teh Berlin Cemetery. page 4. Palestine Cemetery has a Goldie Russell page 97. There are some Russell's in teh New Robinson Cemetery Pages 111,112. Some Russell's in Oblong cemetery pages 84 and 94 and some in Wesley Chapel cemetery page 46.

I am interested in the listing someone said they had for the Palestine Cemetery. That is where my gg-grandfather lived. He was on the 1870 census for Crawford Co Ill but died by the time the 1880 census. His name was John H. Russell he was born 2-19-1813 in Pa.

For several years I've been trying to help genealogists as part of our work on church history and preservation of records. Have studied a great deal the life of Daniel Parker, who was a member of the Lamott church, an early state senator, etc. We have the records of some early Baptist churches in the Crawford co., area. Names of members have been entered into a database; we've been working on this since about 1986, and now have 20,000 names for Illinois, and another 10,000 for other midwestern states. I have no family connections, but as a church historian I would be grateful to learn of sources of information about early Fort Palestine. Best wishes to all, for Christmas and the New Year!

Bob , I see you have a listing of the Palestine cemetery, I would appreciate you checking to see if a Jacob Wolfe/Wolf is on that list. On the 1850 census he and his family were living in the Franklin TWP, 1860 census Palestine Post Office he and a daughter Emma J. Wolfe/Wolf b 1848 are not with the family. I have that he died Dec 31,1856, He was md to Susan Lambert. Any help will greatly be appreciated.

Bob, thaks for your answer. I believe the Riverton just across the river in Indiana is most likely the one I am looking for. The one in Illinois over by Springfield is out of the area I would normally expect these relatives. I know that Charles E. Ripple is buried in Palestine Cemetery but not who else. I would expect other Ripple, Watson and maybe Davis and Nevil. Nevil not likely but maybe. Ripple, Watson and Davis are the main surnames in Crawford Co. that I am associated with. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Bob Nevil Washington

Correction... the Riverton on the IN side of the Wabash is just a couple of miles from Palestine. Got to be it.

Just FYI, there were also FAUGHTs that probably came from VAUGHTs in the VA area.

Hi Everyone, and a Merry Christmas to all. Here's hoping you find in 2001 that one little piece of info you need to get beyond the "brick wall". I'm currently working on compiling info for the Historical Society newsletter and the genealogy society newsletter for Jan. 2001. Hope to go to Terre Haute just after Christmas and get them printed. In the Historical Society newsletter will appear reprints of letters sent home from Civil War soldiers that appeared in the Robinson Argus in 1865 and 1866. And info about the two Flat Rocks and early stories of that Crawford Co. area. The gen. society newsletter will have a contiuence of the old county directory, and some old stories from the Hutsonville area. We'll have at least two pages of queries this time, and a little bit about the '49ers from Crawford Co. Barbara is still hot and heavy typing the old obits that we have. Barbara sure enjoys all of you who get back with her and tell her how much you appreciate all her work. And that is surely a work of love! She's a good member to have! Rita is working on another probate for us, she's another worker that has hot computer keys for being used so much! Slowly but surely we're getting those old probate records all typed up and put on our shelves. I'm hoping we'll get one or two more indices on our web page from those probates shortly. Dave just finished an 1867 commissioners/road book. Thanks Dave, got your package in the mail today and it went directly to Richard with original pages and he will proof it over the holidays. Carla is still working on the 1860 census for the web, and she has Phil Youngs "Honey Creek Times" that will be put on our web page. Burl and Rena finished up Goodwine Funeral Home records and are on the library shelf. Let's see.. we have 4 3 inch binders on the shelf with index from that project. Oh by the way, Goodwine Funeral Home is on line. They have current obits on line. Mr. Goodwine talked to the society recently and I asked him if he could maintain an archive of obits so that people can come in and check them. He said he never thought of that but would see. I don't know what his address is on line, but suppose you could go to Google and put in Goodwine Funeral Home and it should come up. Try it anyway. I'll have completed some more years on the Argus "Wanderers" etc. Hope I will have time to get some of them sent to Jim to put on the web page. May I say thank you to all of you who have come forward to compile information for the genealogy society, our web page, and the library shelves. It is appreciated! And thanks Jim for taking care of our page so well. Let's see is this starting the 5th year? Where has the time gone? This has been a good year for the society, a busy year, and 2001 seems like it will be another year of growth and busy, busy, busy. Merry Christmas again Sue
