You might want to check out this site for the Pisgah Cumberland Presbyterian church records. There are many names from early Gallatin Co. history. This source is the only one for some Surnames who were here between 1830's to 40's. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/il/gallatin/gallatin.htm ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jane Williams" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, December 09, 1999 11:39 PM Subject: [ILGALLAT] Re: church lookup > Is there anything in "the book" about churches?

> Hello, > > The boundary change in question regarding the north boundary of Saline and Gallatin Counties actually affected very little territory. Previous to the change, the northern boundary ran as an east-west line through Boone's Mill in New Haven on the Little Wabash. This line paid no attention to the section and township lines laid by the original surveyors. Years later, when the mill had faded away until it was simply a memory, the General Assembly cleaned up the issue by moving the boundary line to the next section line to the north which also divided the Township 7 South in half. The move was less than a mile, not five miles as in the book. > Thanks for your input Jon.... and I believe your right. I just now took a glance at a Plat in 1876 for Hamilton Co.. According to this map, it would have took all of the bottom two sections, from East to West, to include Township 7 South in Saline/Gallatin Co's before the boundary move. Even if it just included the bottom Section Row of Hamilton Co., that would mean that the township of Rectorville, in the S.E. corner of Hamilton county was a part of Gallatin/Saline Co before 1855. That bottom row, just in Hamilton Co, would have included quite a bit of land. In fact, it would have been 11,520 acres of land. That's 288, 40 acre plot's of land :-)) After they reavaluated the Poll Books to see who was not a resident of Saline Co, because of the boundary change, they came up with the following..... Galatia Poll Book: Thomas KARNES - non resident John W. SLATTON - non res. Davis TATE - Hamilton John A. SPAIN - non res. Henry RUMSEY - Hamilton Howel ADAMS - not known, non res. James BOYD - Hamilton John KELM - Hamilton Issac LANE - Hamilton Thomas N. SPAIN - Franklin Ellison RAY - non res. John JOHNSON - non res. J. F. JOHNSON - non res. Raliegh Poll Book: Limuel LOFTIS - Hamilton Lorinso WEST - non res. Fletcher CARTER - non res. Henry HAIG - Hamilton Asa BASHER - Hamilton Jas ADAMS - non res. Hary D. PENNINGTON - Hamilton? Hary PATTERSON - non res. Elija DAVIS - Hamilton William G. COLE - forn? Thos. MEADERS - non res. Curren Poll Book: Jno. R. CORTNEY - non res. Simon READER - non res. -------------- All of these townships were in north Saline Co, and this vote took place in 1857. Most these voters above who were "non residents" had land that was in Saline county before the boundary change in 1855. By checking some of the names in this list against land patents, you should be able to tell how far north the line actually was. I do know that most of these had land in the first row "sections" just over the line in Hamilton (according to a 1876 plat), but I think some of them may have only had land in the 2nd Section Row.... Best Regards, Trev

I believe one of my relations, George W. MACE (brother to my ggg Thomas J MACE), owned land in the section just above Moses McGehee.

> << Rice's everywhere >> > gee........but none from Saline ????

Wasn't that in the Rice Cemetery info I posted? Also of note about Rice Cemetery.... there was a note that there were many graves without stones !! You should respond to Shirley (Re: Rice's everywhere). She had said that she was in contact with someone doing the Rice lineage in this area, and that these Rice's connected with her lines, way back when... she's into this stuff pretty heavy. She may be able to put you in contact with that person. Best Regards, Trev

Dave, I found that other land Patent site for those Jones land records (I had forgot about that one, and I see they have redone it some), But I never did find that Jones that purchased land in 1819 south of our family. I did find the on for Ben in 1839/42. That was a good find, because I was thinking all this time, the land he bought in 1840 was probly his homestead :-) Trev

You must remember that up until 1847, Saline county was part of Gallatin. That's why Daniel is in the 1840 Gallatin Co Census. Also, sometimes people talk to the census taker that don't have all the facts. The census then has faulty info. Another thing, people don't always report there correct age. My grandmother was go for that. What bothered me was not finding the right marriage records. An answer to that may be Hamilton Co. If Joseph was living in the northwest part of the county where Moses lived, he may have married in Hamilton Co. Hamilton co is hard to get records on line. The state wide database does not have Hamilton co in it. Sorry to hear about your loss. I guess it would be hard to get excited about genealogy right now. Let me tell you, I was excited. This was a tough nut to crack. My wife and I have a private joke. One of my grandmother's sisters was born in Bowling Green, Ky. Her folks moved there, had a baby and came back. They left Norris City, White, went to Bowling Green, came back to Omaha, Gallatin Co. There name was DeWitt. My great aunt Margaret Amazona DeWitt married George B. McGhee in 1899. Don't know anything about him and have never researched that family, but a lot of folks moved around in the Hamilton, White, Saline, Gallatin area, and other counties too. Write when you get back.

Surnames: SEAT HENRY Submitter: Sandra Taylor ([email protected]) Date: 09 Dec 1999 My great-great grandfather was Anderson Seat. He served in the Civil War in Company C, 29th Illinois Infantry. His Civil War pension application says he was married first to a Mrs Read, then to Mary Ann Henry in Gallatin County, Ill. in the 1860's.

Hi List, My great-grandfather, James M. PATTON b. about 1834 d. ? married Susan Elizabeth RICE b. about 1840 d. ? on December 30, 1858, ceremony performed by Wm. M. Vinyard, M.G., CPC. Children of James and Susan were: William R. b. about 1860 d. ? John Albert b. July 5, 1865 d. March 3, 1951 Jacob Franklin (My grandfather) b. December 27, 1866 d. April 9, 1943 James and Susan are listed in the 1860 Gallatin Census with son William and Susan's siblings Jacob, Alfred J. and Sanders RICE in the household. Family tradition is that the three PATTON brothers, William, John and Jacob, were raised by one of Susan's brothers. Jacob PATTON, age 12 is listed in 1880 Saline Census living with the family of Wm. and Saline Johnson. Anyone know what happened to James M. and Susan Elizabeth (RICE) PATTON? Thanks, Pat

Would you please check the cemetery book for: Matilda Baker Vaughn, born c. 1844 and died after the 1910 census. She was the second wife of Daniel M. Vaughn, born c. 1835 and died after 1900 census. Matilda is the daughter of Wm C and Minerva Baker. Her parents are buried in Asbury Cemetery I have been told. Charlotte Baker Jones, born c. 1860. She was the wife of Henry B. Jones whose was born around 1857. Died after 1920. I am also looking for the burial place of Andrew Ferguson Stewart, born c. 1820 and died I think in the 1860's. He is listed on the 1860 White County census and his widow on the 1870 census. I have not found him buried in White thought I would try Gallatin. Also looking for his mother, Francis J. Stewart born around 1775 and died after 1860. This list has certainly gotten more interesting since you guys volunteered to do look ups! Keep up the good work. Thanks, Lynda
