To all who responded to my previous post: I just changed computers and don't have my genealogy software loaded on my new one. I don't have my notes handy either so I am going to give a basic outline of my Fayette Co. families. The VAUGHN and NODINE families came together from Rutherford Co., NC around 1855. I have the VAUGHNS back to ROBERT VAUGHN b. c1796, VA who married ABBY GILL b. c1800 SC. They had several children, most of whom migrated to Fayette Co., IL. The NODINES originated in France and were Hugenots. Others have done an extensive genealogy on this line. Nathan NODINE m. Floribell Madorah VAUGHN c. 1850 in NC their daughter Susan Jane NODINE married John FAIR in Fayette Co., NC John FAIR's parents were ALEXANDER FAIR b. c1836 TN and SUSAN CHATHAM b. c1836 IL Alex FAIR may have been orphaned and I have not been able to locate his parents. There are other CHATHAMs in Fayette County but I don't know for sure which ones are Susan's family. From what I remember about my research, the FRAILEYs, SARVERs, and BECKs were neighbors to my lines and some of the siblings from my grandparents married into these families. My SMITHS came from Indiana. The father was JOHN SMITH and the mother was MARTHA CARTER? Some of their children had unusual names like German, Dorcas and my great, great grandfather was ERISTADES SMITH who married ELIZA DIVELEY This is all from memory and I could have made some errors. I apologize for this info being so sketchy. If anyone thinks there might be connections between our families I will dig out my notes and provide further and more accurate information. Regards, Deni

Deni: I've got three collateral Vaughans/Vaughns with Fayette County and round-about McKinney connections. 1. Jane Enochs McKinney, widow of James Alexander McKinney (s/o Daniel & Frances Williams McKinney), m2 Robert Vaughan (sic) 22 Apr 1862. They had daughter Alice abt. 1866. 2. Alvin Radcliff (s/o John and Martha Cullom? Radcliff) b. 28 May 1892; m. Maude Vaughn. Alvin was a great-grandson of Michael and Elizabeth McKinney Radcliff. 3. David Burkhart (s/o George and Elizabeth Osborn Burkhart) m. Anna Minerva Vaughn, 29 Jul 1880, Jasper Co, MO. The Osborns and Burkharts lived in Fayette County in 1860s. Elizabeth's brother, Samuel Wood Osborn m. Frances McKinney (d/o William and Nancy McAliley McKinney).

Hello! I'm new to this list, and wanted to say Hi! I am researching The Pope, Snow, Lorton, Frailey, Sarver, Beck and related lines in the Fayette County area. Dana Pope . Popekid2@aol.com

Thanks so much for your story. I am so proud of this man in my lineage and these stories bring me closer to him. I was not born till 1957 so never had the chance to meet him but have loved what he has stood for. Thanks so much Debbie

Do you remember why he was treated and how he did after wards? Appreciate any additoinal information you can give. Debbie

I was too young to remember all of it but I do know how happy my Dad was that his headaches were gone and they didn't return. My Mom told me later in years that when the Dr. put his hands on my Dad's head that he could feel the pain up to his elbows. Must have been a type of migrain. I found out today that my Sister-in-law also saw him. She was a small girl and couldn't walk yet. From what I have been told he treated her and told them she would walk in 2 weeks but they were so anxious that the went back before the 2 weeks were up and he said "she will walk" He was very right, she did walk in 2 weeks. Dr. Smith charged his patients only $2 per visit. There are none left like him. Shirley At 08:31 PM 11/27/00 EST, you wrote: >Do you remember why he was treated and how he did after wards?

Looking for anyone who may have family that was treated by my great-grandfather, Dr. Billy Smith, nationally known faith healer in the Fayette County area. Doing a special chapter on him in my family history. He lived in St. Elmo, Illinois in the first half of the 1900's. Thank you Debbie Schroh

Lynne, There was a Valentine POPE b.abt 1800 d. abt1844 Fayette Co, IL married Elizabeth DAVIDSON d.abt 1862 both supposed to be buried in POPE Cemetery. I do not have a POPE line but they were related to my James WALKER in the area.

Hello Group: Could you help me, please? I am sorta new in family searching. I would not rate myself a GOOD amateur person in genealogy; never-the-less, I am searching the WEBSTER surname. SAM WEBSTER and his two known sons: CHARLES and LEVERETT. Time period 1880 - 1900. If the Websters were in your county in this time period, I would be glad to hear about it. Thankk you in advance for your help. Paul pjohn2@madisontelco.com Paul& Lois Pettyjohn

Will the Tonia (I think the last name was Lee) that e-mailed me please resend the message about the Crotsers? I messed up and lost the message and your address. Yes, your family is in my file, and I'd love to talk to you. I've got lots of Crotser info, and would love to learn more of your family- I'm kinda blank on that part. Please e-mail me directly at conure@advancenet.net. I'll be on the edge of my seat! I don't think I'm getting the messages from the Fayette list. Sorry about the mess up. sherry smith-stanford

Helen: Checked indices to Fayette County Genealogical Society's printed versions of 1850 (federal), 1855 (state), 1860 (federal) and 1865 (state) censuses. Could not find a Samuel Tharp in any of them. However, these extraction copies are subject to error (and I always could have misread the entries too). I do know that a number of my people, who should be there in 1860, aren't. Shown in 1850: Tharp, Calvin H., 45, farmer, TN; Amy 40, TN; Melinda 17, William E. 14, Francis 12, Mary J. 10, Margaret L. 8, Henry L. 5, Martha A. 3. In 1855: Tharp, Calvin (p. 33): 1 M under 10, 1 M 10-20, 1 M 20-30, 1 M 40-50; 2 F under 10, 1 F 10-20, 1 F 40-50. In 1860 no Tharp families at all are indexed ( and I'd think Calvin should be there). The closest listing is "THROUP?, Josiah, 22, M, farm labor, b. Ohio" -- that question mark is the extractor's, not mine. This fellow is shown living with John & Selina Durban in Howard (now Avena) township. The 1865 Census shows three Tharps: Tharp, Abe (p. 47, Kaskaskia Twp): 2 F under 10, 1 F 20-20, 1 M 30-40 Tharp, John (p. 46, Kaskaskia Twp): 1 M under 10, 1 M & 1 F 20-30 Tharp, C.H. (p. 57, Ramsey Twp): 1 F under 10, 1 M & 2 F, 10-20, 1F 40-50, 1 M 50-60 On the 1870 index are John, Calvin and a Mary Thorp. If you want these listings, let me know.

One more thing, then I'll shut up. I also just rechecked the Fayette Facts- 1850 Fayette County Census book (page 114) put out by the Genealogical Society. It also (incorrectly) has: Western Division Page 762, 16 Dec. 1850 644 656 CROTSER, David 33 M farmer $550 N.C. , Margaret 27 F Ill , Henry 8 M Ill , Jacob 7 M Ill , David C. 3 M Ill , Gilbert 8/12 M Ill John West 17 M farmer Ill Margaret is incorrect. Original census states that it is Nancy A. Crotser. bye sherry
