Hi, It is possible that Nancy Cunnington could be Cunningham. The name was given to the coroner when Samuel died, by his half brother, Millage, called Tom. Tom could have easily misunderstood the pronunciation of the name. Elizabeth

Hi Dave, I'm not sure if we have the right one either, because any information is more than I have had in the past. The only thing I do have is from census records and what is documented on death certificates. We do know that some records may not be exact. I appreciate all of the help. I need to look at this along side the other information I have. I'm not willing to delete any of the information furnished until I have something concrete. We have had a death in the family, so I will be away from the computer foe a couple of days. Please keep looking for information for me. I don't doubt that there is a connection to this family, because they were certainly in that area and our Daniel was born in what we thought was Gallatin County. Thanks again, Elizabeth

WOW! This is great. I evidently came to the right place. The family did come to Illinois from Tennessee and the names fit. Yes, I would like an image of the census record. Could you send the map as well? I truly appreciate this. Elizabeth

Howdy, Thank you Jon and Trev for your input on the Mantua question. I can't find where I saw it, I thought it was the 1818 census when Illinois became a state. I do remember it had to do with Reuben Walden. It seems there were 2 shifts north and south, one in 1818, the other after 1854. The one in 1818 moved the line to the north (??) maybe 3 1/2 miles. Maybe all of Omaha township was in White Co. in 1817. Then the later one like Jon said about 1/2 mile to the south with a jog around the town of New Haven. The link below is to a Library of Congress Map of Illinois dated 1861, but is called 1854 Railroad and county map. It's nice. It shows the surveyor's township system (grid) and if you look. It shows 2 1/2 sections (north and south) in White, and 3 1/2 sections in Gallatin. You can zoom in and out on line, but the map is also downloadable. However it is 28 meg. http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/D?gmd:5:./temp/~ammem_5NZX::@@@mdb=aep,h h,gmd,gmd,gmd,gmd,pan,gmd Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: Jon Musgrave <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, December 09, 1999 12:42 PM Subject: [ILGALLAT] Boundary Line Dispute > Hello, > > The boundary change in question regarding the north boundary of Saline and Gallatin Counties actually affected very little territory.

Samuel McGhee was born February 14, 1872, in Omah Illinois, according to his death certificate. Elizabeth

Lory, Thanks, my grgrandparents just have a concrete slab that if you didn't look careful weeds grow up and can't see it. There son William Audie did die in about 1969 but has large stone next to them and his two children. so there are 5 stones there for Heads, I am sure just looked over.

> Hickory Hill cemetery: > Huston, Jonathon 1801 - 1880 This Jonathon Huston is believed to be the husband of Barbara "Barbary" Crenshaw, daughter of William C. Crenshaw and Elizabeth (Hart) Crenshaw. This family is believed to have lived in Carbondale in 1868, although for how long is not certain.

I just checked and do find the Slaytons in my Barnett Cemetery file. My mother Nigel (Frohock) Black remembers Mollie Slayton. Mollie ran the Kedron telephone switchboard circa 1910 to 1920. During that period if one wanted to call Equality from SW Eagle Creek Township, the call had to be routed thru Mollie's switchboard at Kedron. Mother says that everyone in the area knew Mollie at that time. Bob Black

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. As to Mantua Township in White County, I've seen it on some very early maps (or someplace). Check out Peck's Gazetteer of Illinois, or one of the other early travel gazetteers. I believe Mantua is listed. That's all I know. It doesn't show up in the book Illinois Place Names, but it did exist as a settlement around the time Illinois became a state or in the 1820s. Jon Musgrave www.IllinoisHistory.com

Pat -- The Glen Miner Book#1 does not record any Heads in Callicott Cemetery; so, probably, your grandparents were buried (or the stone placed) after the 1960's. Here are the Heads in the book: Equality Village Cemetery Head, Charlie 1869 - 1874 son of A.& H. Hogan Cemetery Head, Charles 1897 - 1957 Fields Family Cemetery Head, William 1853 - 1883 McGhee Cemetery Head, Richard Co. H 131st Ill. Inf. Westwood Cemetery Head, Albert L. 1854 - 1942 Helen 1860 - 1944 Lory Holm
