I am interested in the History of the activities on the Ohio River between 1800 and 1850. More specifically, the identification of those men who made their living on the river. According to USC 1810 Randolph Co., IL Terr, there was a C. SMOCK listed. This C. SMOCK lived on the Ohio River near Cave in Rock. There were several adult males in his household who have not been further identified, nor has the livelihood of C. SMOCK been revealed. C. SMOCK died before 1816 leaving a widow, later identified as Sarah, and a large family who continued to live near the Ohio River at least thru 1825 and probably as late as 1840. Sarah died in Elizabethtown, Hardin Co., IL in 1850 at age 78. The SMOCK family identifies with the communities of Cave in Rock, Rosiclare, and Elizabethtown now in Hardin Co., IL. There are SMOCKs in the area to this day. I would like to correspond with anyone interested in this family and their relationship to activity on the Ohio River. Best regards, Hugh

Hi list, There was a tornado around the Equality area today, but I don't know much about the damage. Storms were rampant in the Gallatin, Saline and White Counties today.

hi, At one time it was common practice to have several towns of the same name in the state, and many towns and cities had former names with a few having had several, so if you have used a current map to find an old town name you may have created your very own brick walls or even worse you have connected with the wrong lines. "Bloomfield" is an excellent example of this common practice, just look at any current map and find it now in Johnson County close to Vienna, in 1958 it had a population of 80. Did you know there was another Bloomfield in Adams County? Close to Quincy, in 1958 it had a population of 25. There were others in Edgar, Fulton, Greene, Johnson and Scott Counties and all were spelled "Bloomfield." Plus precincts in Johnson and Scott Counties by the same name of "Bloomfield." Nine localities, all named "Bloomfield." Do you need more examples, maybe hundreds of examples? Sure hope you can easily see the point i am trying to make... many genealogies are out there now with improper connections because an inexperienced genealogist has picked the wrong county and matched up the wrong "SMITH" or "JONES" or "WHOEVER" because they thought they had the right county to chose from. Wrong connections are now made as the names that were available in that county were close so they figured a few misspellings or similar names would suffice. Or the town was the correct town but the county changed several times? Some still can't make the connection and are experienced enough to know that close doesn't always count, so they know they have hit a brickwall. My suggestion is that you jot down the towns your ancestors are known to have lived in and look them up on the statewide list of over 15,750 place names using your Ctrl/f keys to do the search. Copy down each county that each town appears in after the town name and you'll probably be amazed to find that instead of them moving all around the state they lived in a few neighboring counties. For details of when the town was active you could consult the web pages listed below for the 25 Northeast Counties as those are now online, the 44 South Counties will have details online beginning later this month, and the last 33 West Counties should have details online beginning this summer. When those new pages are up and running i'll send out an updated e-mail here and i'll post it on each Rootsweb county list as each county becomes available for research. The following web pages are enormous and each will take over four minutes to download if your connection is a dial up modem and AOL is NOT busy and your computer is PROPERLY tuned. If you get a message that AOL is busy just rapidly tap on your reload button a few times and AOL wakes up and lets you in.

HI--Looking for information on the Family of Andrew Shell , James Braun and Mark Williams Would like to know when the arrived in Gallatin Co --- ARe they on the 1870?? Thanks Joyce

Nancy, I am also researching ELLISON 's and BAKER's of Gallatin Co. William C. Baker b.1/5/1821, Wilson Co. TN, d. 8/21/1880 Gallatin Co.

Illinois, death as listed in: Gallatin Co. IL. Newspaper Abstracts, Vol. IV, compiled by Shriley Cummins Shewmake, Harrisburg, IL 62946-2560 (1996) Both are buried in Asbury Cemetery. Wm. C. has a Civil War head stone and is listed in Glen Miner's book. She is not listed because there is no headstone on her plot. I think she is the daughter of James S. Ellison, but have not been able to prove. He is buried in the Ellison Family Cemetery located in Asbury Twp which near Asbury Cemetery. Is James S. Ellison part of your Ellison's? I visited the Asbury Cemetery last spring. It is a nice, well kept cemetery. Bill Baker

I'd be interested in knowing who the following individuals married (and of course they're dates of birth, death, etc.). (1) Virgil Frederick Locklar (2) Ella Gertrude, Locklar (3) John Earl Locklar (4) Thelma Juanita Locklar (5) Mary Marguerite Locklar (6) Ruby Geraldine Locklar Parents of the above were Andrew Jackson Locklar (1859) and Mary Eliza Wren (born 1881). They married about 1898. After Andrew died in 1925, Mary Eliza married Grant Saffer who had 3 daughters by a previous marriage, whom she raised. They were Pauline, Margie and Bette Saffer. Grant Saffer ran a restaurant in Old Shawnee called "The Egyptian Cafe". Any info on this family would be appreciated. PENNYPEACE@prodigy.net

Does anyone have a copy of "History and Families of Gallatin County, Illinois" vol 1 - 1988"? I'd be interested in knowing if a source for the Locklar-Wren info is given. "Andrew Jackson Locklar was born Oct 20, 1859, somewhere in Arkansas. He married Mary Eliza Wren in 1898, She was born July 23, 1881, in Saline or Hardin County. he was a boxer and/or wrestler. She loved to quilt. Mary Eliza and "Jack" Locklar had 6 children, Virgil Frederick, Ella Gertrude, John Earl, Thelma Juanita, Mary Marguerite, and Ruby Geraldine. Andrew Jackson Locklar's father was killed by bushwhackers while riding home on a horse from the Civil War. Mary Eliza's mother was Mary Elizabeth Hale born Sept 4 1859 in Missouri. She died Feb 6, 1945, at Shawneetown. She married John Wm. Wren, a farmer. They had five children, Mary Eliza, Margaret, Fred, James Alvin, Willis. he died from a fall off a wagon. Her second marriage was to James Burns. One child was born, Mable. Her third marriage was to Cass Talbott. Mary Elizabeth Hale's father was James Hale. Andrew Jackson Locklar died Oct 1, 1925. Mary Eliza Locklar then married Grant Saffer who had 3 daughters by a previous marriage, whom she raised. They were Pauline, Margie and Bette Saffer. Grant Saffer ran a restaurant in Old Shawnee called "The Egyptian Cafe"."

Is there anyone on the list who might be able to do an obituary look-up? The individual is Mary E. Talbott who died Feb. 6, 1945 in Shawneetown. She was the widow of (Lewis) Cass Talbott who died sometime between 1910-1920. Mary was born Sept 4 1859 in Missouri. Her first husband was John Wren; her second, James Burns; third, Cass Talbott. Her known children were: Mary Eliza Wren, Margaret, "Maggie" Wren, Fred Wren, James Alvin Wren, Willis Wren and Mable Burns. Thank you for your help. PENNYPEACE@prodigy.net

I am trying to trace the path of my grandmother Tabitha Sater Bishop who married Joseph Bishop in 1884, and had 5 children. I finally recieved a copy of my gggrandmother's death certificate, and it has her father listed as John Godrey, and it shows Tabitha as being born in Newark Ohio. When Tabitha married Joseph she was listed with the maiden name of Cowen. Her death certificate shows her as Tabitha Sater Bishop, and I know Tabitha's middle name was Jane not Sater, so to this day I have not been able to find out what the Sater link is. I had at one time thought that it may have been her birth name, had she been adopted by Cowen's later, but her father's name being shown on her birth certificate is John W. Godrey. Any help would be greatly appricated. Angelique Check out my home page http://community.webtv.net/DiamondDmon/WelcometoMyHomePage

A Sarah SMOCK was a testator to a 1816 will in Gallatin Co., IL which did not reach probate there. It is possible that the probate took place in Pope Co. as the Co. was established in the same time frame. I need someone to take a look at the Pope Co. probate records.

Wanda, I found a Cecil Counsil 1905-1912 and a Maggie Counsil 1874-1911 buried in Sunset Hill Cemetery (area F - West Ogara Street), Harrisburg, Saline Co, Illinois. This is listed in a book titled "Cemeteries - Saline County, Illinois (City of Harrisburg) Volume-5 by John V. Murphy. Did not find any James D.

I am trying to locate the resting place for James David Council/Counsil b. 1839 in Ky and wife Sarah b. 1842 in Il. who died after 1900 in Illinois . They were last located in Gallatin County Illinois 1900 and had lived in Hamilton County Illinois 1860 - 1880. I feel his family started in Williamson County Illinois so perhaps he is buried there. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Wanda Also any death record for a Council would be appreciate.
