Baldwinville is now just a cross roads in Edgar County. The North Arm Church is still in existence and in use. It is located just east of the cross roads. The church records are located in the main parish...St. Mary's Catholic Church in Paris, IL. Fr. William Overman is the current resident priest. The Edgar County Court House may have the marriage records too. >From my understanding and others may correct me, Baldwinsville used to be a small village/town, but was primarily residents and a school house. The area around Baldwinsville is farmland. It's location is just north of Paris and East. The township name is escaping me at the moment. Hope this helps, but I expect you'll get many more replies. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Amy Ritterbusch" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, January 07, 2001 8:58 AM Subject: [ILEDGAR] Baldwinville > Posted on: Edgar Co., IL Queries > Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/Edgar/467 > > Surname: Sudduth, Twigg, Curl, Mattingly > ------------------------- > > Has anyone heard of Baldwinville County or Town or Township?

Your Strother Sudduth is a brother to Sarah Ann Sudduth that married John Craig. John Craig is the son of Eli & Experience (Jones) Craigo that come to Edgar Co., IL early. John's mother, Experience Jones, was the daughter of Lt. Jacob & Mary Jane (Yeaton-Burks) Jones of Maine and then to Edgar Co., IL. in 1819. I show Sarah Ann and Strother's parents as John Young and Sarah (Crow) Sudduth of KY, both dying in Edgar Co., IL. Carol Stultz, C. G. Danville, IN
Posted on: Edgar Co., IL Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/Edgar/466 Surname: Sigler, Milburn, Postal, Davis ------------------------- Paris, Edgar Co., IL- Oda Mell Sigler m Lester Burl Milburn who was the son of Ewan Milburn and Julia Postal. Ewan was the son of Emberson C. Milburn and Elizabeth Unknown. Emberson was the son of Sarah T. Milburn and Ewing Milburn. Saw the obit in Terre Haute, IN Tribune. My Grandmother Ona Bell Sigler Dunn was the twin sister of Oda Mell. Believe there were some Milburn's that married Davis'. In Paris (I don't know the names of the streets; would have to check with Mom) there was a Simonds grocery on the corner, a vacant lot was next to that, and some Davis' lived next to that. Headstone for Verna (6 yrs old, sister to Lester) was erected by Julia and Ewan Milburn in Verna's memory; spelled Ewan in Oda Mell's bible; and IL Marriage Index shows it as Ewan. Does any of this ring a bell? You can email me at [email protected] if it does. Regards, Cheryl

This is from Ken TURNER on the DURHAM-Cousins list: Happy New Year Fellow Genealogists and Cyber-Cousins! I found out about the web site below from another list I'm on (Tishomingo County, MS). I checked it out......this guy is doing a fantastic job! He purchases old photos and tries to re-unite them with their families. I didn't find any in my lines so far, but I'll keep checking............... Perhaps one of you can locate a belated Christmas gift or New Year "find" for your personal genealogy quests. Good luck and Happy New Year! http://fourkings.freeyellow.com/Page3.html Regards, Paul

Joy: Could you tell me if I have to open each page of a particular year's census images and do a search for the correct surname? Or is there a way to find the surname without opening what looks to be about 30 web pages per year? I have never searched for a census image before.
