Ramona-- I can't supply directions to the cemetery, but I'm wondering if you are going there to find Donaldsons. I have many Donaldsons on my tree and perhaps we could share information. Nancy Shepherdson sjnanner@compuserve.com Searching in Fayette: Donaldson, Williams, Muzzy

Rosemary, Cook Cemetery is east of Vanburensburg, IL. I don't believe ther are many stones there anymore. I know names of four people buried there. Benjamin H. COOK died 29 Nov 1881 age 63yrs 5 mns 16 ds He was in the Civil War ; Alzira wife of B. H. COOK died 14 March (?1881) age 60 yrs 5 ms 1d; William A. son of B.H. & A. COOK died 9 March 1861 ae 23 yrs 6 ms 20 ds; William T. COOK died 13 March 1879 age 55 yrs 7 ms 18 ds was the brother of Benjamin COOK; COOK is NOT my line, but since I knew some burials, thought I would send them. Does this help? I grew up in Sharon/Shafter Twp. It was Sharon twp. when my dad was born.

Hello everyone! I've had a problem with bounced e-mail, which comes to my mail box, by the way. Between all the GenConnect Boards I have, and the County mail lists I own/maintain, my mail box has been getting awfully full of late. I set this, (and all my County mail lists) so anyone could subscribe or unsubscribe themselves as they saw fit. I realize there have been some newbies that still have to get the hang of it all. Some have gone on vacation and not unsubscribed before they left. It's a simple matter to subscribe again once they get back. You can go to rootsweb.com and get the D modes from the archives too, so as not to miss anything. To subscribe or unsubscribe send a message to ILFAYETT-L-request@rootsweb.com (you must use this address for this purpose only) Leave the subject line empty, or whatever.....(anything in the subject line does nothing one way or the other). In the body of the message put the single word "SUBSCRIBE" or "UNSUBSCRIBE" (minus the ",s). Turn off any/all signature lines, put NO other text in the body of the message. The only time you use the "request" address is for this purpose. All message to the list goes ILFAYETT-L@rootsweb.com (or ILFAYETT-D@rootsweb.com) Please help me to keep the bounces off this list so that I don't have to change anything.

I am interested in information on John Wright (b. abt. 1785) and Nancy Curry (b. 1788 (their parents, siblings, where they were from.... etc.) they lived in Maury Co., Tenn. before moving to the Clinton/Fayette Co. area about 1825. Any help on this family is appreciated. Doris C.

Does anyone know who has the naturalization papers of John TURNER? According to the book "The Turner Family", "the family has these papers". The family lived in the Sefton area. I wrote to the National Archives and they didn't find anything. He was born in 1790 in Ireland, naturalized 1845 in Rhode Island. Thanks.
