Chauncey L. Wright married Jane English location unknown, date unknown. One of their children was my great-grandfather, Henry Harrison Wright b.Edgar County 1859. I am deadended with Chauncey Wright's parents and also with Jane English's parents. Also, Jane died and Chauncey married a second wife, name unknown. Henry Harrison Wright m. Rose Triphena Ellen Folger 4/2/1891. Rose's parents were George W. Folger and Sarah McDonald who were married in Edgar County 4/26/1865. In the Illinois marriage index, George's name is misspelled as "Foulger." I cannot seem to figure out who George Folger's parents were nor who Sarah McDonald's parents were. If anybody has any information, it would be greatly appreciated!

In the Edgar Co. Atlas, Brouillets Cr. twp., there are 3 SMITH families listed: William, Jr; Fred A. and F. A. Smith. Does anyone know anything about these Smiths? Were they related? The F. A. SMITH may be my ancestor, Frances A. Smith (wife: Margaret Gore.) They all lived close to each other, just northeast of Logan. I could not locate the actual year that this information was taken from (although the Atlas was printed in 1935.) Would anyone happen to know? Thanks. Marsha

Dear List members, We have now completed the Illinois counties family history links on our website, except for further updates as we receive more church records, which is an ongoing task. We are now preparing to enter some information for counties in Iowa, and Missouri, and have already entered a few counties for Wisconsin. We have the research well underway for Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Oregon, Washington, and Idaho, but in Missouri, Kentucky, and Indiana, we have a great deal more original research work to do, and will appreciate help from anyone who knows of the existence of Primitive Baptist church records or membership lists for those states. We have made enough revision and addition to our site, to warrant giving you the URL addresses again, in case you wish to check our site again, or see it for the first time. We encourage you to write on the guest books which are at the bottom of two or three of our webpages. Our main homepage (with links to research completed and in progress for several states): http://www.carthage.lib.il.us/community/churches/primbap/pbl.html Or, for Illinois counties, go directly to: http://www.carthage.lib.il.us/community/churches/primbap/FamHist.html Best wishes, Robert Webb The Primitive Baptist Library Carthage, Illinois Edwards County Effingham County Fayette County Ford County Franklin County Fulton County Gallatin County Greene County Grundy County Hamilton County Hancock County Hardin County Henry County Jackson County Jasper County Jefferson County Jersey County JoDaviess County Johnson County Knox County Lake County LaSalle County Lawrence County Livingston County Logan County Macon County Macoupin County Madison County Marion County Marshall County McDonough County McLean County Menard County Mercer County Monroe County Montgomery County Morgan County Moultrie County Ogle County Peoria County Perry County Piatt County Pike County Pope County Putnam County Randolph County Richland County Rock Island County St. Clair County Saline County Sangamon County Schuyler County Scott County Shelby County Stark County Stephenson County Tazewell County Union County Vermilion County Wabash County Warren County Washington County Wayne County White County Williamson County ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

Many THANKS to those who have given me very useful suggestions on finding an obit. Will give them a try. Jackie

Does anyone know where I would find an obituary for the time period of 1896? Would the Historical Society have them? Jackie Researching: BRENEMAN/BRENNEMAN
