While searching a WILLIAMS line in Pike Co I came across the name Isaac WILLIAMS married toa Eliza J MOORE. Some of the WILLIAMS settled in White Co., Ill so maybe this WILLIAMS-MOORE family is related somehow to yours? I did look ups in the familysearch and worldconnect ..sorry I can't help you anymore than that. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Myra Ann" <MyraAnn@cox.net> To: <ILFULTON-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, May 18, 2006 5:11 PM Subject: [ILFULTON] ROLL CALL--MOORE & WILLIAMS in Canton, abt. 1840-1870 >I am looking for information on the parents of these adopted children born >to a Moore couple in Canton, Fulton County: > > John Elvis Moore, b.

Hi this is my response to roll call.. jim. _wuwei3@aol.com_ (mailto:wuwei3@aol.com)

HI, This is a response to Roll Call. I have been on the list for a couple of years and it seems like I can never find enough information. : ) So here are the surnames I am researching. At some point, these families were in Fulton County. Some moved on to other counties. Have a great day!

I may know something about Baptists. There was a group called Predestinarian Baptists that was active in central Illinois in the early to mid 1800s. Actually they still exist but not in massive numbers as Primitive Baptists. They have a library in Carthage, IL, which purports to have collected old records. I hear mixed things about their cooperation but I'd say it is worth a try. http://www.olpbc.com/ It's in frames so things are trickier to locate. Go to the page and click on library and then primative baptist library and then index to primative baptist... and then church and family history...in Illinois, then Fulton County. If you find anything useful contact them.

I am researching the families of Totten, Baughman, Cramlet(Cramblet, Cramblett), Fishback and Londry. I have a lot of information on the Totten line and I am willing to share it.

Was any of your COLEMANS in Pike Co? I ma trying to get info on a Isaac WILLIAMS who married a Sarah COLEMAN. I am wondering my cousins WILLIAMS line is part of this WILLIAMS, and having to go side routes sometimes pays off. Especially since lately I have had more luck finding the women than I have the men Not sure if this WILLIAMS-COLEMAN was ever in Fulton or not but doesn't hurt to find out ----- Original Message ----- From: <Maxdebord@aol.com> To: <ILFULTON-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, May 18, 2006 3:39 PM Subject: [ILFULTON] Roll Call > > CHASE, PHELPS, HIXON, TAYLOR, COLEMAN, WHITE, TANNER > > > ==== ILFULTON Mailing List ==== > To UNsubscribe from the mailing list in MAIL MODE send a message to: > ILFULTON-L-request@rootsweb.com > Put ONLY the word "UNSUBSCRIBE" in the body (Turn off any signature files) >

List the people in Fulton County you are researching. If it is multiple lines just list the surnames. If it is one family who passed through give some names, dates and locations. If it is your lucky day someone reading the list [or, later, the archives] will be researching the same people and contact you. It's actually better to put the surnames in the subject line rather than leaving it as roll call. Be sure to change it to indicate YOUR names. Cheryl Rothwell

Thank You Cheryl, I can hear alot of things but won't know the truth till I see it for myself lol If I find anything I'll contact them than I'll know if they are helpful or not. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cheryl Rothwell" <historysleuth@gmail.com> To: <ILFULTON-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, May 18, 2006 1:57 PM Subject: Re: [ILFULTON] Roll Call ~*~ MORRIS-RAKESTRAW-BURHANS-WHITEHEAD >I may know something about Baptists.

Hi Karen, I'm a Karen too. Did a few lookups with your info and found a few things that might help. . . . . The WW1 Draft record (1917-1918) for Frank Slaight shows him living as a farmer at Rt 3, Havana, IL, born in Woodland Twp, Sept 26, 1886. Lives with his wife and two children. It says his wife owns a 140 acre farm and he owns 80 acres in Kerton Twp. 1917 Fulton County, IL Farmers Directory shows Frank Slaight, spouse Lillie children: Geneva RR 3, Kerton Twp, Sec 7, 140 acres year became resident 1917.

Kerton Twp http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Atrium/5112/kerton.htm Have you seen this online cemetery site? Scroll down and check all the Martins and a baby Slaight in Hickory Cemetery. (Martin's pg 19-20 of 29 pages total) and (Slaight 23 of 29) Names of parents with info posted. I believe Vandoros Martin and Diana BEAMAN were the grandparents of Lilli and her parents were Sylvester Martin and wife Anna. Sylvester (son of Vandoms Martin (spelling in index for 1880 Census) and wife Dianna) are living in Kerton Twp. Sylvester is 17. (Check on Mormon site for free access to 1880.) In 1900, Sylvester Martin 36, is living with wife Anna 26, married 9 yrs and dau Lillie (8) in Kerton Twp.
