In our information we only have a Thomas P Caudle who married Hester. Who is the father of this Thomas P Caudle. I will be happy to share what i have, but will need your mailing address as my scanner is not working. Thanks for the info. Avie

Avie - I believe the Pleasant Caudle, sister of William is the daughtr of Thomas Caudle and Margaret Unknown. After Margaret died Thomas married Naomi Smith Weddle. Mary E. and Sarah A. were other siblings. Naomi Smith Weddle is my line and I imagine she raised those children, but I can't find any more about them. Naomi died in Idaho so perhaps they all went there. Would be interested in any information you might have on this Caudle family.

I have a question about the Hickory Grove mentioned in your E-mail from the PECK'S GAZTLEER OF 1834. The Hickory Grove that I am familar with is the Hickory Grove cemetery and church near Wright IL in Greene Co. founded in 1830. This church and cemetery is north and east of Carrollton. I was wondering if there was two such designated places in Greene Co. just a question. The history of the Hickory Grove Baptist Church states that twenty people met to organize a church and wrote up their Principles of Failth and Rules of Decorum on January 30, 1830. Location of where they met is not given until the first Sat. in July 1830 when they met at Thomas Lee's. At this meeting they constituted into a church known as the Hickory Grove Church of Christ. C. McKnight

I appreciate your sharing that information! It makes the flat plane of the map come alive--especially descriptive for that early time. Thank you for sharing with us. Jan in California

Just wish it had a map with it. PECK'S GAZETLEER by J.M. Peck 1834 Illinois Presbytery occupies the County of Morgan; Greene and Macoupin and has 10 preachers and 9 churches. There is also a small society of Mormons in Greene CO. Allen's Prairie and settlement in Greene, CO. is 12 mile Northeasterly from Carrolton. Apple Creek rises near the boarder of Sangamon CO. and runs Southwestern course through the southeastern part of Morgan CO into Greene CO. and enters the IL River in Section 36. It has a number of Mills on its waterway. Apple Creek Prairie in Greene, CO lies north of Apple Creek to the left of the road from Carrolton to Jacksonville, IL. It is 10 mile long and from 2 to 4 foot wide. Carrolton has 3 Layers, 3 Physicians, a female seminary, a good english school , a sunday school and Bible class, Presbyterian;Baptist;and Methodist Societies, Union or Reform Baptist and Disciples. At the head of Apple Creek is an extensive Settlement in the Southeastern part of Morgan Co 18 miles from Jacksonville of about 300 families. Hickory Grove is a settlement near a grove of timber in Macoupin Prairie in Greene CO. 12 mile south of Carrolton. Hodges Creek in Greene CO. rises in Pratt's Paririe and runs Southwestery and enters Grand Posse. It is also called Hurricane. It is also called Hodges Fork' This is mostlikey just notes that I had copied and is not all of the information but gives a good idea of what was around in that era in Greene CO. J.M. West --part1_9d.11633f5a.27c147ea_boundary--

According to the 1879 History of Green County: "Wilmington is situated in Township12, Range 12 in the Northwestern precinct, in the northwestern portion of the county and was laid out in 1836 on the 18th day of May by Lucius S. Norton, Thomas Groce, Thomas Hanks, Young, Henderson, Lane, and Highee. It is six miles from the Illinois River and one and a half miles north of Drake Satation on the Louisiana branch of the C. & A. R. R.. John Coates (the father of eight sons and two daughters, all of whom still live in the county, except Chester, who resides in Scott County), was among the early settlers in this section, and was one of the largest money lenders in the county. He was killed in 1874, be being knocked from the railraod track by an engine." This is present day Patterson Twp., I believe. Patterson Cemetery is aka Wilmington Cemetery.

Thanks to everyone who responded to my request for the location of Wilmington and Felter in Greene County. I now know exactly where they are and I only asked the question this morning. Are there copies of the 1879 History of Greene County available? Thanks Again, Ray Goodwin Shingle Springs, CA

Jeannette and Allen, Thanks so much for all the information. My, my, that Solomon sounds like he was quite a character. There is a Caroline S. Baines buried in Belltown Cemetery, Greene Co., Illinois, who is listed as "wife of Solomon" Do you think she could be one of Solomon's wives? It lists her birthdate as 28 Sept 1815 and death as 6 May 1857 and says "Our Mother" on tombstone. Below is the list of a couple generations of descendants for Robert Baines.

The Solomon Baines (1805-1883) who was killed hopping a freight in 1883 was the son of Robert Baines (1773-1848). I don't think the Solomon Baines (1857-1909) who was the son of Charles Baines Jr. (1798-1856) and Jane Townsend Milnes Baines (1819-1896) had any children, since neither a wife nor children were mentioned in his obituary. I don't do much work on the Baines family since I'm not sure how I'm related. Robert Baines might have been a uncle/brother/cousin of my ancestor Hannah Baines Meek. I started working on the Baines family a bit, but gave up at the colorful Solomon Baines (1805-1883) who had 28 children & I don't know how many wives, but he married his last wife twice (Rachel F. Jones). She divorced him & he declared that he would not support her or their children, so she promptly married him again. If you ever figure out the family, let me know.
