From: "Wanda Avila" To: "Cody Sanders" Subject: Re: Old Slave House Date: Wed, 20 Mar 2002 19:24:01 -0500 I believe that Sisk is house-sitting. The state needs someone to live in the house to protect against vandalism and should, I think, be paying Sisk. The state would probably have a hard time finding anyone else willing to live in the Old Slave House, much less to pay rent for the privilege. Gallatin County doesn't have a hot rental market, after all. -------------------5------------------- ----- Original Message ----- From: Cody Sanders To: wavila@erols.com Sent: Wednesday, March 20, 2002 6:21 PM Subject: Re: Old Slave House I see, but if the state is having financial problems why are they allowing Sisk to live in the house rent-free?

The State of Illinois paid half a million dollars to purchase the old slave house and are allowing the former owner to reside there rent- free. From the message you received it sounds like the house will remain closed to the public indefinitely. Tax payers why aren't you yelling foul? The state hired a professor to research the history of the house and write a report. Wonder what they plan to do with it, or did they ever have plans? What happened to the three rascals or whatever they were? Thanks for posting that information. Glad I don't pay taxes in that state anymore! C. D.

How would one find a marriage record if you have checked on a couple of counties you think the couple would possibly have gotten married. Also if you are not completely sure of the date but have checked within a 3 yr. period? In the late 1800's or early 1900's was it required that a J.P. or minister enter a marriage cert. on file?

Does anyone know where I can BUY census information on CD? I need to systematically search entire STATES and if I had the information on CD at home, it would sure make it a lot easier. I would about die for the 1860 census, but will take whatever I can get. Lori

My family (as of midnight last night) has learned of a tiny Smith cemetery in Gallatin County. The Smith that we are looking for is not buried there, but there are 3 other Smiths and a few others. Does anyone possibly recognize these people??? SMITH, Charles 1827-1874 SMITH, Albert 1871-1872 son of C. & M. S. SMITH, William 1864-1868 son of C. & M. S. LITTLEJOHN, Mary 1842-1879 wife of James M. WARFORD, Charles Edward 1864-1871 son of William & Mary POWELL, Kenneth L. born & died 1940 (outside the fence) MOORE, Mary B. died 1944 (outside the fence) Lori Andrews (and very excited)

Does anyone happen to have contact with John Boyd? I have lost his e-mail address and need to contact him. Also, I have run into a fascinating web page with the Dr, Edward Dawes medical journal on it. Lots and lots of familiar Gallatin Co names on it, although I don't know where Rectorville might be it, must be fairly close with all these names on it. It is a great study on the illnesses of those times and the barter and trade system worked to pay their bills! Bless the person who put this on a page for all to see! I have been enthralled. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jgholson/dawesMedJ.htm Thanks, Carol Dugger

I am trying to find out the names of the children of the infamous John Forrester (1785-1856). I know he had a son William, but cannot find any other info on offspring.

Just another attempt to locate someone who might have closer ties to one Abraham GREER, son of Asa and Rebecca (Neighbors) GREER. Abraham "may" be the link I need to prove out my mother's line of GREER. Francis Marion GREER was born in Gallaten county, Ills, 1830. He is found in the household of his mother, Maragret GREER, in Morehouse Parish, LA. in 1850, along with an older brother, William M. (Marshal?) Greer who was born per the census age, 1825, in Tenn. Back in Tenn. records, I found where Abraham Greer had married a Peggy Kinney, 1825 (could'a been 1826?) in Williamson county, Tenn. As I believe the family moved into Ills., our family history states "the family moved back to Tenn., 1834", this is the "best match" I can find. It is known that the family moved into LA. in the period of 1848. Checking "names", I did find where a male "Kinney" had purchased land in the same area that we found Margaret and the "boys", although I don't have that info right in front of me, I believe it was 1848. This leads me to believe that Maragret moved "with her family", the Kinney family, into LA. F.M. Greer named his first born son "after the grandfather"....making it appear that HIS family would have been Abraham? That first born was named Thomas Abraham GREER. and went by "Abe". Other sons were named Frances Marion, Jr., William Jeffersopn, and, James Allen GREER. The only daughter was named Rebecca May Ann GREER.

Submitter: Carol Krajnik (Pnutkitty@aol.com) Date: 04 Feb 2002 Is anyone researching the WASSON families who lived in Gallatin County in the 1800's? I would be happy to exchange information. I am a direct descendant of John Addison Wasson who primarily resided in Pope and Saline Counties.

I am doing research in Gallatin Co.,Illinois and I am looking for information on the parents of Joseph Bishop born August 1846, and married Tabitha J. Cowen in April of 1884. They had 5 children, it assumed that almost if not all were born in Omaha Gallatin Co., I am trying to find out who Joseph Bishop's parents are. It's assumed he is named after his father. I am also trying to find the parents of Tabitha J. Cowen/Bishop born September 1856 it is assumed in Illinois. If anyone has information on these Bishops or the Cowens please let me know. Any help would be appricated. Angelique

The State of Illinois acquired the property about a year and a half ago, but there has not been any appropriation to date from the Illinois General Assembly to staff and operate the site. Since the State of Illinois is experiencing a round of severe budget cuts right now, it seems unlikely that a new, unstaffed site such as this will receive operational funds when sites that are currently staffed are undergoing budget cuts. Meanwhile, the Old Slave House is being maintained to the best of our ability, and the former owner has been retained as a tenant to provide security. We hope to seek staff and operational funding in future years to open the site to the public.
