If you looked at the page on my site at http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~davidca/south-co.jpg , it is only a part of the map which is Railroads and Counties of Illinois 1854. (the whole state). The map is from the Library of Congress. I like it because it has the Section grid and on the whole map there are references to the section number system. It was from that map that I realized that the extreme east edge of White Co and just a tad of Gallatin are ranged from the 2nd PM rather than the 3rd. You can view the whole map at the Library of Congress American Memory Collection and you can Zoom in and out. It can be down loaded. It is very big - 28 meg. and you have to have the Mr. Sid viewer, but it was well worth the trouble to me. The Mr. Sid viewer is free and is mentioned at the bottom of the L. of C. page. The way Mr. Sid works, when you ZOOM in on something it re-focus the image. It's great. >From Mr. Sid, you can export a part of the map to a tif image, then in other programs, change it to a bmp, paint on it, and save it as a jpg. I sent a link to the map but it failed because of the way they use the cgi/bin, so here is how to find the map. Go to Library of Congress American Memory at http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/amhome.html Click on Search. Click on Maps in the Limit search area to the right. Change "match any of these words" to "match all of these words" Type with just a space between railroad illinois county Click on search. Item #7 should be the 1854 railroad map.

Hello Patricia, I read this and would be interested in what you have on Leonard & Sarah L. Abney and their children. I also research the 'Abney' line on Eliza Jane Abney who is the dau. of James R. Abney & Susanna Waldin. Anything you can offer would be appreciated on this family. Thanks in advance. p.s. Aren't you the sister of Teresa Mitchell Wright? Sincerely, Lucinda Kinsall Nashville, TN >>> <[email protected]> 12/09/99 07:40PM >>> Louise I have a Leonard Edwards b. 1836/TN d. 1922/White County buried Hazel Ridge Cemetery. I have his wives as Jane Buttery Foster married ? and Sarah L. Abney married 11/12/1863. I have some dates, his ancestors and his children, if you're interested.

Pat -- I agree that it isn't likely -- I see that in the 1850 census Susan Rice was 9, which would make her 17 at her marriage. Her sister Margaret was then 8 which would make her 18 at the marriage of Mary Margaret Rice to Andrew J Patton in 1860.

Lory, you sent me some Head names last night in cemetery book and I accidently deleted could you please send again. Pat

Lory, Thanks for checking. Thomas and Letitia (HILL) PATTON were my great-great-grandparents. Susan may have been my great-grandmother; but, the birth date seems a bit late for her marriage on December 30, 1958 and the birth of her son William in 1860. Pat

Does anyone know what remuneration men received for volunteering to fight in the Union army? Did Confederate volunteers receive any remuneration?

Yes, it may be! Thank you. I think I need to scour census. Is there an online site for Illinois census for 1850/60. Again, thanks. Sandra J Lorimer Holm wrote: > > This might be Anderson's brother. > > McGhee Cemetery: > Seat, James Co C 29 Ill. Inf. > > Lory Holm

Sandra, In response to your query, yes, it was very "common for folks to go from TN to IL" but not vice versa. Most early Gallatin County residents were from the Upper South, especially from Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia. Wanda Avila

Hello, I have just joined this list, looking for my gr-gr-grandparents, Anderson and Mary Ann Henry Seat. It SEEMS that he joined the army durinf the Civil War and was in the South for awhile. Then after the war, he married there, had a daughter, and moved down here. Was it common for folks to go from TN to IL, or vise-versa? It's interesting that this is only the 2nd message Ive read, and the connection between TN and IL has already been mentioned. Appreciate any help. Sandra [email protected] wrote: > > WOW!

I want to clear something up before I leave. Daniel's first wife was FANNY Cunnington, not Nancy. My informant didn't read it right. I have Dan's death certificate in front of me now. The information was given by his son, Walter. Dan's date of death was July 22, 1923. his age as 87 years and 4 days on that date. It is also listed as 87 yr., 3 days in another place on the certificate. Dan's father is Joseph McGe-?(could be an h). Is there what looks like an Eldres, ILL? Dan's mother: is practically unreadable, looks like Sallie or Sadie Banniscer, Barriscer,Barner, Bonner? Her birth place looks like Detroit? Ditrist?, Kanas? Kacan? VERY SMUDGED. We are not certain about Walter's age. I met him in 1944. He seemed to be around 55 years old, but looks can be deceiving. We think he was a full brother to William, my father-in-law, who was born DEC 3, 1891. He is listed in the 1900 census as eleven years old. I am taking copies of the research done for me, so I can make comparisons. I'll be online Monday. Thanks so much. I hope you know what this means to me. Elizabeth

This might be Anderson's brother. McGhee Cemetery: Seat, James Co C 29 Ill. Inf. Lory Holm
