I was beginning to think the list was down, or something. They were all in here 'talking' the other day, then it just got real quiet. I'm the coordinator for Fayette County, and I started the list to try to give ya'll another way to do your searching. Looks like it might do what I wanted it to do. Now, to your message regarding the surname Curry. My husbands g.grandmother was a Curry. I've not enough information, not even a good birth date just yet. That will be forthcoming in the next week or 2. The only thing I know for sure is that she (Margaret Curry) was born, raised and married (1st husband) in Ireland. They came to the United States (don't know when yet). Do any of your Curry's come from Ireland, that you know of? She and her first husband (James(?) Davis) moved to Joppa, Ill (Massac Co.) where I guess he died, or something. She then married Jesse Baccus and they had 2 daughters. I think Margaret and James had 3 or 4 children. They all lived with her in Joppa. When I get that information I'll put it in here too! Have fun with this list, and hope it really does do some real good for the genealogy!
