Thanks for the informative post, Ellen. One of Andrew's sisters was my great-grandmother, Rebecca Elizabeth Sisk Crest, wife of George Edward Crest, Sr. of Equality. Martha Baker Harpling

I agree, genealogy (family histories) all include several things that don't need to be argued about on this list. We all more than likely have things in family histories that could be sensative issues. Let's move on and use this list for what it is meant for....research not arguements and fights....please! _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx

Hi Laurie, Are you any relation to Sarah Thompson who was the wife of Robert Grant, Mother of William James Grant b 1854 who married Rhoda Alma Blackard in 1880???? Rhoda is my cousin, as are all the BLACKARDs of Gallatin/White Co in Illinois. Kes Truelove

I suspect that you are subscribed to <ILGALLAT-L@rootsweb.com>, which is the version of the List where everyone's posting to the List is sent to you as individually E-Mailed copies - and yes, you would even get copies of the one's from people who are just wanting to un-subscribe from the List. If this is the case, and you don't want to receive all of the individual E-Mails, I would recommend that you un-subscribe from <ILGALLAT-L@rootsweb.com>, then subscribe instead to <ILGALLAT-D@rootsweb.com>. This is the Digest version of the List, and it consolidates several of the individual postings onto just one E-Mail to you. This cuts way down on the amount of mail that you get, and I find that it's a lot easier to follow a particular thread of conversation between several members this way. Good luck, and welcome to the List. Mike Chambers St. Louis County, Mo. >

Hey listers, can we just move along onto some other less controversial topic now? There are chat lines that can deal with this sort of thing and where people can ventilate . This list is a valuable tool for genealogy research and even though I am good with the DELETE button, it does seem like these arguments belong elsewhere than on this list. Carol Dugger

Since we have had a lot of discussion about the "Slave House" and I found this in Gallatin Democrat, thought I would post it. Maybe someone would want it.

From 50 years ago--- March 20, 1952 Funeral services are being held Thursday at Equality for Andrew Jackson Sisk, 89, who died at the home of a daughter in Harrisburg.

Betty I was reading some of the old messages and saw this one that you posted 9 months ago. You probably have the info by now but if not I have a copy of the 1860 Gallatin Co census and will be glad to look it up for you. Elisha O.

ref: Lacy Kellers comments about the Gallatin list and confusion on subscribing and getting wrong info.... I certainly can understand the confusion that this person is having. I often wonder if I am getting all the e-mails. Some times it seems I am out of the loop, getting answers to questions when I haven't read the questions.... and other times, luckily people have forwarded their answer above the question, so I get to read both. I sent an e-mail to the list on March 22 - and it has not come across my mailbox as yet. Since I am on the mailing list, it is my assumption that I too would get a copy of the e-mail. If memory serves me this is not the first person to mention this type of problem in the last month or so. If not this specific list, it would be on one of the southern Illinois lists, Hardin, Saline or Pope. I think someone should look into this matter. Thank you, Hang in there Lacy, the people on these lists are wonderful and very helpful!

Yesterday I subscribed to this Gallatin County list and sent my message and asked for help on my Bell family. What did I do wrong? I got a message from someone trying to help me. I was grateful and still am. Then I got a message from a woman and it said she didn't want on my list. I don't know what she meant. I don't understand. This is the first list I have been on and it was recommended by a RootsWeb person. He said this is the only Gallatin County list there is. Please tell me if I did something wrong and what it was so I dont do it again.

Although I didn't find a connection to my Mary Jane Sarah Bell and her parents I enjoyed reading the Bell info. Thanks Larry & Loyce for offereing your help. My Bells would have lived in Gallatin County in the early 1800s to ??? Correction for my previous message. I know where Robert and Mary Jane moved to but I don't know what happened to her parents and siblings! Mary Jane Sarah Bell was called 'Jane' and her brother's name was John. John never got married and moved from Gallatin County with his sister, brother-in-law and their large family. They had 12 children, 11 were born in Gallatin County and one was born after they moved to Williamson County. In the Gallatin County 1860 census there is an Elizabeth Bell living with Peter Smith and his family. This Elizabeth Bell is 40 years old. Could she be a sister to Mary Jane Bell Crenshaw? Jane would have been about 42 years old in 1860.
