I am trying to find death notices - or newspaper obits on the following father and son. Henderson Horsley died 1839 in Edgar Co. Francis(Frank)Horsley died 9 Jan 1879 in Edgar Co. Does the court house have records this far back? Would the Edgar Co. Gen. Society have film of newspapers from this time period? Any comments would be helpful Thanks Ann Irwin

Parents: Francis Marion Mason & Mary Alice Mason (nee Starr), (I do not know location of their marriage). There were 5 girls and 1 boy born of this union...Hazel, Bernice, Clellan, Clotilde, Christine and Nathan Starr Mason. Christine was the youngest, born around 1908; Nathan born Dec. 27, 1905. Both the Mason Families and Starr Families had migrated from Virginia and Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. It is believed that John Mason sired Francis Marion Mason (named after the Swamp Fox). Mary Alice Starr's Mother was Mary Ann Starr (nee Hess), her Father I believe to be William Starr. Her Brother, Dr. Nathan Starr, was a well recognized Physician in Pennsylvania, Illinois and elsewhere.

Barb, I have seen your query from last November, and if you haven't received an answer to your question yet regarding the marriage certificate by Eld. E. Pinnell , please email me directly and I will give you some information. Susie at [email protected]

Thank you! I do believe this is relative (pun intended) to the George DAVIS, father of Sidena Davis I have been looking for.. Sidena married John MASON in 1841 in Edgar Co., and now I know where to look. Do you have any other info? Willing to share my MASON and STARR that I have. Thanks again, Patricia

Marshall was born in 1819 (I believe in Ky?), lived in Edgar County,Ill. a while and then migrated to Taylor County, Iowa. His son, John L. Jared, was born in Edgar County, Ill.

I'm new to the list. I wonder if anyone on this list lives in Edgar County? I need one document from the Courthouse to help a friend join the SAR. If anyone can help, please contact me off list. Thanks, Paul Morehouse

Do you happen to have a Lucille Kerns in your family? I have a lovely photo of a young lady... her name on the back. She was about the same age as my great aunt, Fan Wells who was born in 1891. They were in a photo together. Thanks, hope we can help each other. [email protected] http://members.aol.com/pwilson411/indexe.html
