Tonya, I see there was a CHESHIRE listed on that bond. Were you related to the CHESHIRE surname in any way? I have paternal CHESHIRE ancestors in Illinois. Let me know who if they are, with aproximate dates and localities. If I can be of help let me know. My great-grandmother was Rachel Lee (CHESHIRE) HIMES. I was born in Illinois. Most of my ancestors were in Illinois early. My ancestry is in the HIMES line link of our homepage. http://members.truepath.com/beverly/index.html Beverly (HIMES) BARGER ----- Original Message ----- From: <Mollie1206@aol.com> To: <ILFAYETT-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, February 15, 2000 7:11 PM Subject: Re: [ILFAYETT-L] Sheltons in Fayette County, IL > Tonya, > I am also reseaching family in Fayette County, and have a book on loan from > the gen. society Fayette Facts. > > It list probate record, for Eliza Shelton, Guardianship of minor heir. > Daniel Shelton petitioned for the guardianship of Wm H.

My great grandfather and his siblings were born in Fayette County late 1850s to early 1860s. So his parents, August and Elizabeth were living there at the time, although I am not sure of the town in Fayette. Thank you so much for trying. Have a great weekend coming up. Linda

Tonya, I am also reseaching family in Fayette County, and have a book on loan from the gen. society Fayette Facts. It list probate record, for Eliza Shelton, Guardianship of minor heir. Daniel Shelton petitioned for the guardianship of Wm H. H. Shelton, minor heir of his mother Eliza. Petition was Aug 20, 1868. Wm H. H. Shelton 9 yrs old in Oct 1868. Daniel was the father. On the first bond were James D Cheshier, George D Day, and James M Manion. There was a reference in the procedings to the sale of the land, but there was no record of the sale in the pack. Daniel Shelton made a report to the court on june 30, 1874. There was a citation to him to report may 30, 1878. This is in Box 147 Pack 1 Hope this helps some. Doris

Hey Cathy, That you are. Are you having the same problem as I am? I mean getting back to the origin, ship list, Germany, etc. If you have found anything, please let me know. I have tried to trace John Joachim and Mary Maas, but can't find them anywhere. I haven't been to your website lately, so I'll go back and check. Luv you Cuz, talk to you soon. Theresa

I just realized after not recieving a copy of my message back that I posted this AM that I had not received any mail from the list since January 13! How could I have become unsubscribed? How could I have not noticed I wasn't getting any of my Fayette County mail!!!!!! I am now resubscribed and if anyone replied to my John Donaldson message this AM please repost it since I didn't get it. Also is there any way to view all the posts between January 13th and today? Is there an archived list somewhere? Thanks a bunch. I guess I need to recheck some of my other lists that have been strangely quiet lately :-) Lynne

Theresa: I probably missed someone else making this suggestion, but with the family names you mention, the multivolume Germans to America is the first place I'd look. I don't think that's on the web. I'm near a good genealogical library in St Charles, MO, and would be glad to check for Kruses on the ship Virginia. Do you have a date for their emigration?

Theresa, I'd suggest you contact the Fayette Co. Genealogical Society. They have transcribed and indexed the censuses from 1860, 1870 and 1880 (at least -- those are the ones I know about) and the books are in the library in Vandalia. Or perhaps the library would do a look-up for you. The address for FCGS is Box 177, Vandalia, IL 62471 Good luck! Mona On Sat, 12 Feb 2000 12:28:28 EST JanieBAC@aol.com writes: > Thank you Melinda.
