Thanks again Darlene, guess this means we are cousins by association of events if not blood...<grin>. I am confused -[a normal state of affairs when dealing with my GIBSON line]- if I read your message right we have William T. GIBSON m. Sarah E. DOUGLASS -and- William GIBSON m. Cordelia HAMPTON ... right ? Two different William GIBSONs and two different women. Have we figured out who the parents of Wm T. GIBSON are ? And how about the "plain" William GIBSON, do we know whose son he was? Like most families, the GIBSONs recycled given names which makes it a bit confusing to track the various individuals at times. Hmmmm....any more clues? Barb in Savannah,GA

Barb, William T. Gibson and Sarah E. Douglass married on 30 Aug 1866 in White County, IL.. There is a Cordelia Hampton who married William Douglass (brother of Henry) on 19 Feb 1836; and when her husband died she married Elias Scott (brother to my 2nd great-grandfather) on 6 Nov 1838. When Elias died in 1850 she later married Samuel Crouse (on 17 Oct 1861); and finaly after Samuel died she married William Gibson on 10 Jul 1866. I research her because she is in both the Douglass and the Scott lines of my family. Darlene

Hello Mart, I don't have a lot on that family, but will give you what I have. REBECCA ELLEN SNDERS was born about 1846 in Indiana. She died March 4, 1875 in Hamilton Co. Ill. She married ELISHA BENNETT in Crawford Co. Ind. on Dec. 24, 1864. He was born abt. 1844 in Ind. He died May 27, 1872 in Hamilton Co. Ill. ELISHA enlisted in the Civil War on Aug. 10, 1862 in Indianapolis, Ind. to Co. F, 50th Inf. of Ind. I have as there 4 children: FELIX BENNETT born-March 3, 1864 PHEBE A. BENNETT born-Oct. 14, 1866 MARY E. BENNETT born-Nov. 17, 1868 WILLIAM G. BENNETT born-Sept. 7, 1871 REBECCA'S parents were: WILLIAM SANDERS born-June 3, 1819 in Indiana died-Feb. 11, 1884 in Hamilton Co. Ill. Married: March 5, 1838 in Orange Co. Ind. to: PHEBE McDONALD born-Nov. 20, 1817 in Mercer Co. Ky. died-May 24, 1886 in Hamilton Co. Ill. WILLIAM AND PHEBE, and ELISHA BENNETT are buried in the Old Hickory Hill Cem. Hamilton Co. Ill. (that is in the South part of Hamilton Co.) there is a spece between William and Elisha, and I suppose Rebecca is buried there. On the other side of Elisha, are 2 or 3 more of William's son's. Elisha and the other sons of William all have Civil War stones. WILLIAM SANDERS parents were: RICHARD SANDERS AND ELIZABETH BREEZE Don't know much more, except that William and Phebe had there children in Orange and Crawford Co. Ind. Not real sure when they came to Hamilton Co. In the 1880 Hamilton Co. Census, is listing the children of Rebecca and Elisha as living with there grandparents. Would you be able to tell me any more about Mary E. and her family, her brothers and sisters, as to when they died, and where they ended up at. I have nothing on them except there dates of birth, that I gave you. I do have list of the children of William and Phebe.

Darlene, do you have a date on the William T. Gibson and Sara Catherine Douglass marriage? Any reference to whose son William T. Gibson is? I am trying to figure out which William Gibson he was. I have a William E. Gibson, son of Amos Gibson born sometime before 1880 and don't have any additional info on him. The others would be William Gibson married to Nancy ?..he was son of Robert and Sarah Gibson and died prior to 1872...possibly much earlier..as did his wife. Then there is William R. Gibson son of Daniel Gibson and Malinda Trout. W.R. was born 1852 and I have a note saying he died abt. 1888..need to check my source on this one. Thanks, Barb in S.

Darlene, The information about the McQUARY bunch is great! I will have to look into it more. And you may have just solved the million dollar question that our family has had for decades !!!...who the third wife of James W. GIBSON was. Actually it turns out she was his first wife, if the info about Martha JOHNSON and James W. GIBSON marrying in White Co. in 1848 is correct and this is my James W. Gibson. For years the family story has been that John Logan Gibson, my g grandfather b. 1862, had two step mothers after his mother Irena (McGINNIS) died. I found the marriage for Prudence Irena McGINNIS and James W. GIBSON in Union Co. in 1850. And James W. GIBSON did remarry following the death of Prudence in 1864 , to Mrs. Nancy A.HAMILTON HAMPTON (d/o Edward HAMILTON) the widow of neighbor and war buddy William B. Hampton. James W. GIBSON and Nancy HAMILTON HAMPTON were married in 1864 shortly after the death of her husband...apparently a causality of the war...the record on this is unclear. I have copies of some of the probate record for William B. HAMPTON's Estate. The strange thing is the family story was rooted in the belief that John Logan GIBSON had two step mothers. But, I figured this part was not true after tracking him from the home of his father and step-mother, Nancy, to Henderson Co, KY, where he married. He eventually migrated from their with a large family to CA. My dad was born in CA. But the fact that John Logan GIBSON's father was married three times appears to be correct even if the number of step mothers is off. I have found no additional evidence that would support another wife after Nancy. But, then again you never know. James W. GIBSON died 24 Feb 1907 and was buried at Big Hill Cemetery. So far there has been no record of Nancy A. GIBSON's death or her grave found. James W. Gibson and Prudence Irena McGinnis had at least four sons, William Fineous GIBSON who married Katie PORTER;James Henry GIBSON who married Ora Belle DRISKALL; David J. GIBSON who I have not found a spouse for yet and John Logan GIBSON who as we see apparently had three wives. I have yet to figure out who the parents of Ora Belle DRISKALL and Katie PORTER are. David J. GIBSON was the last son of Prudence Irena McGINNIS to be born in abt. 1864; I assume Prudence Irena may have died in childbirth. My guess is that James W. needed a mother for his new son and with the death of William HAMPTON in the same time frame and Nancy Hamilton-Hampton being a neighbor things just fell into place .Eventually they had a daughter together, Lurella "Lillie" T. GIBSON who married James Zachariah BARNETT {son of William BARNETT and Elizabeth Catherine ALLEN}. Thanks for all your help, I have the probate records that you mentioned. The Daniel GIBSON you referred to was the son of Robert and Sarah GIBSON. The children of Robert and Sarah that I know definitely about are: Martha Gibson BECK b.1813[spouse William Beck] Amos GIBSON 1815-1880 [spouse: Sarah Lillian REED] Fanny Gibson FITZGERALD b.abt.1824 [spouse William FITZGERALD] Sarah "Sally" GIBSON James W. GIBSON 1826-1907[Martha JOHNSON (new info..thanks..will check out);Prudence Irena McGINNIS;Nancy A. HAMILTON-HAMPTON Benjamin M GIBSON 1827-1873[spouse: Margaret J. PORTER] John GIBSON d.1872 [spouse: Elizabeth ?] William GIBSON[spouse:Nancy ?] Daniel GIBSON 1820-1886 [spouse: Malinda TROUT 1828-1872 d/o of Jacob TROUT,Jr.] Before I forget, William R.GIBSON would be the son of Daniel Gibson and Malinda TROUT. He was born in 1852 and died in 1888. I need to look into getting the probate records for William R. GIBSON..thanks for the info about which box # and and date. And you are correct about questioning the transcription of the 1860 Census. After checking out the other census records and a couple of other errors that I know are on that particualar 1860 transcriptions, I figure that the individual was having trouble reading the old script handwriting of the census taker. You will also notice that the Gipson switches over to Gibson in later census records for the same individuals. Also, you will find a Benjamin Mc GIPSON/GIBSON on the 1860... this is actually Benjamin M GIBSON. The "Mc" is the result of old script M which looks for all the world like an M with a little tail that makes a c if you read it wrong. Also, the old script I and T are hard to tell apart at times...so all those IN for GIBSONs should be TN. Either that or all those TN in later census records are all incorrect and given the number of GIBSON siblings running around Hamilton in the 1800s I figure the odds are in favor of TN being the correct reading. As for the Robert and Sarah GIBSON, the procreators of this bunch, they appear to have been originally from NC and SC respectively. They migrated into TN and then IL. The big mystery is who is the _ _ _bert Gibson and family on pg.154c of the 1840 Census for Hamilton Co,IL. In this household are a male and female adult both age 50-60 and two males age 10-15;a male age 20-30;a female age 5-10;a female age 15-20;a female age 20-30. This is not Robert and Sarah GIBSON and family, they are on pg. 135c. Even more mysterious, who are Benjamin GUILLAM m. Patsey GIBSON, Dau. of Robert and Polly Gibson ... Hiram Greathouse attested their signatures on consent... James P. Crawford, J.P... 24 May 1835. This cannot be Robert and Sarah Gibson..Polly is a nickname for Mary..unless of course she had an additional name of Mary. There is no reference to a Patsey GIBSON or Patsey GUILLAM in any of the documents dealing with the other GIBSONs that I have seen so far. My Robert and Sarah Gibson were in Hamilton Co. by 1838 possibly sooner. This is based on a land transaction record. There are a few other clues that would indicate they arrived sooner. But I am wondering if this Robert and Polly are in anyway related to Robert and Sarah Gibson. Oh well, more digging around the brickwalls. Thanks for all your help, Darlene. In fact thanks to everybody on the list for helping out so much. Barb in Savannah,GA

Barb, I have a Louisa Douglass who married James P. McQuary, her sister Sara Catherine married William T. Gibson, and anothr sister Frances Douglass Forester married Elisha McQuary. There is a James W. Gibson who married Martha Johnson on 31 Dec 1848 in White County, IL. If James Gibson was deceased this could account for two Martha Gibson, one being ie a daughter-in-law and not a child of the Gibson family. Some of the family members listed on the "obscure piece of paper," are listed on the 1860 Federal Census for Hamilton County, Il, Post Office Rectorville. I found the William Beck born in Ky and his wife Martha Beck aged 47 born in IN and the children. The children all born in IN. (IN Marriage records can be at the Indiana State Library up to 1850. I am seeing GIPSON and don't know if there is a connection to your GIBSON Family. These GIPSON seem to be born in TN where the GIBSON father, Amos was born in IN. He could be a brother to Martha Beck since he is 46 years old. His wife Sara was born in GA. The children listed in Amos Gibson family are: R. M. 21 m IL Nancy E. 18 f IL Fanny C. 17 f IL William T. 14 f IL James A. 12 m IL Sarah J. 10 f IL Amos P. 6 mo m IL Living in this household is Henry C. SLOAN 28 M. born TN Wheel wright On the 1870 Census for Hamilton County: William BECK 75 m farmer 800 250 KY Martha 45 f kepping house IN James D. 21 m farm laborer * IL This James D. was listed on the 1860 as being born in IN. I would look at the actual census record to verify these transcriptions. You said this was a probate deed. Who was the deceased? Amos Gibson probate was 23 Feb 1881 and the administrator was Jas W. Allen. The probate record is in Box 37. If you do not have the "probate packet," I would suggest that you get that packet as the heirs should have signed for any distribution from the estate. The land was probably being sold to pay creditors of the estate. There was a Robert Gibson's probate record dated 2 Feb 1852 and the administrator was Daniel ?????I don't know if that was Daniel Gibson. Those records are in Box 5. There is probate for John Gibson 14 Oct 1872. Benjamin M. Gibson, Box 26 dated 30 Aug 1873, and there is a William R. Gibson, Box 47, dated 1 Jun 1892. I did not find a probate record for William Beck. Darlene Shawn

Oops..left one off the last message..also on the paper with DERHAM,McQUEY, et al...was Robert S. GIBSON...he may have been another sibling I am unaware of ...possibly the one that Benjamin M GIBSON named a son after in 1850...and may possibly explain why I haven't found a son recorded for Robert and Sarah Gibson named Robert...he may have died prior to his father's death in 1852..which would date the paper with the mystery name on it to prior to this time. And this may be the case with Louisa McQuey(MacQuay), Mary Derham, and Mary Gibson...they may have all been siblings of Amos, Benjamin,Fanny,Martha,Sarah and Daniel Gibson. But the double Marthas and double Marys have me puzzled...though it was not unusual for a given name to be used attached to more than one child..and the child to go by a different "call" name. One of the reasons I think this might be the case is that James W. Gibson,William Gibson and John Gibson are missing from the mix. All were siblings of the other Gibson offspring. I know that James died in 1907 so that means what? And that John died in 1872 and William prior to 1852...Hmmmm!:??? Perhaps the Robert S. Gibson on the paper was a sibling who had recently died. Hmmmm...maybe leaving James W.,John and William Gibson off the sheet of paper was an oversight...I have a hunch someone was trying to list the living children of Robert Gibson at the time. But when and for what reason...Louisa McQUEY and Mary DERHAM do not show up anywhere else that I can find in reference to Robert and Sarah Gibson. I have one or two other "incomplete" documents where someone started to fill out a court document but didn't finish..bet this is similar situation...which would also explain the double Marthas and Marys..someone was trying to figure out who was who...so we are down to who was Louisa McQUEY and Mary DERHAM. A couple of other possibilities come to mind. Sarah, wife of Robert GIBSON was alive for the 1840 Census..based on the numbers and ages indicated...and was not alive in 1852 at the death of her husband based on probate records. The Sarah on the list would be her daughter...also called "Sallie/Sally". There is a vague reference in the probate records of John Gibson [son of Robert and Sarah], administered by James W. Gibson, which simply says "the heirs of William Gibson"...I am thinking that Louisa McQuey and Mary Derham may be related daughters of William and Elizabeth Gibson. Neither William nor Elizabeth were alive at the time of John's death. And James was the administrator of the estate. All this would explain why John,James and William would not be on the list...I think maybe this is the answer..but when were Louisa and Mary born and when and where did they marry? Or were they daughters of a "missing" sibling , Robert S.? Anybody have a loose Derham/Durham or McQuey (McKay,McGhee,etc) they need to connect with someone? Barb in Savannah,GA

I hear that...where are we all..been slow today...But I am here to the rescue with a real puzzle or two. I have a couple of interesting mystery "guests" in my family line. All were related to the GIBSON family of Hamilton Co,IL, during the 1800s. Marthey BECK (I believe this to be Martha BECK married to William BECK...but which William BECK? I have William BECK and Martha (GIBSON)BECK inHamilton Co as early as 1850s based on land records...she being Martha GIBSON d/o of Robert and Sarah GIBSON). There is a military pension application card showing a Martha E. BECK filed for the pension of William BECK (Co. K 6 IL Cav) in 1877. There are a William and Martha BECK family shown in the transcription of the 1860 Census for Hamilton Co...showing him to be b.KY and 65 at the time and Martha 47 with three children in the household: Sarah A. age 15,Smiley E. age 13 and a son, James D. age 11. One of the problems here shows she and the children to have been born in IN...this would be incorrect for my Martha (GIBSON)BECK... However, I know that this maybe a mistake in transcription...the script T of TN being taken as an I...reason I know this...the same transcription shows Amos Gipson (GIBSON) as also being born in IN...and he was born in TN...as other census records show. And the fact that there are a number of questionable transcriptions on the 1860 census I have seen..on THE YESTERDAYS IN HAMILTON COUNTY ILLINOIS site...this I believe is because of the old script handwriting and not the fault of the transcriber...sometimes your eyes will cross just trying to read some of the census records. So I believe this William BECK and Martha on the 1860 to be William BECK and Martha GIBSON BECK. Problem...is Martha of 1860 the Martha E. of the 1877 pension application ? Problem..this would mean that William was at least 66 when he entered the military service during the Civil War... as a pvt...hmmmm...I wonder! It clearly states Martha E. as widow...not mother. Then there is the marriage of William Beck and Margaret Evelet...09 Apr 1843 ...who was Margaret EVELET ? Is this a transcription error or was William Beck married more than once? Or, is this actually Martha (Margaret) Gibson who was married prior to William BECK? Is this the Martha E. of the pension record? Here is a possible clue....there were 18 years difference between the William BECK and Martha of the 1860 Census...and the youngest child shown was 11 while Martha was 47...making her 36 at this child's birth...the oldest 15 making her 32 at this ones birth...what was Martha doing before she was 32...had other children already left the household? I do not find William BECK in the 1850 Census. Based on deduction and analysis of the 1840 Census..Martha GIBSON was still in her parents household (Robert and Sarah Gibson). Martha was b. abt. 1813. Another source shows WIlliam "L" BECK married to a Martha ? 9 Apr 1843 (same date as the Margaret EVERLET transcription on TYIHCI)..I have also seen WIlliam "T" BECK listed with these same facts...though there is also a grandson of William L BECK b. 1879 I think .. listed on a site....I believe this to be MARTHA GIBSON married to this William BECK ...since it also shows his birth abt. 1795..which is consistent with the age 65 on the 1860 Census. So, how many William BECKs were there in Hamilton Co. between 1795 and 1877 ? And more importantly is the 65 year old William BECK in the 1860 Census the William Beck, pvt. Co K 6 ILL CAV, during the Civil War in the mid 1860s? Help, I need to connect my Martha GIBSON to a William BECK...I have probate land records showing the were married at least by 1853. NEXT MYSTERY GUESTS PLEASE !!: All these women [Mary DERHAM Louisa McQUEY(Macquay) Mary GIBSON ] are related to the GIBSON clan of Hamilton County in the 1800s....how ??? The Derham is probably phonetic DURHAM and the McQuey could be anything from McKay to McGhee..any ideas..I am stumped. All show up on a common and obscure piece of paper with, you guessed it, Marthey BECK,Amos GIBSON,Benjamin GIBSON,Fanny FITZGERALD, Daniel GIBSON, Sarah GIBSON,Martha GIBSON..all of whom are siblings...except why is there a Marthey BECK and Martha GIBSON showing up together?? This should give us some "flies in the ointment" to work on...<grin> Barb in Savannah,GA ----- Original Message ----- From: "Betty Sink" <elvis5@midwest.net> To: <ILHAMILT-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, February 15, 2001 7:23 PM Subject: [ILHAMILT-L] WHERE ARE WE ALL ?? : : Is everyone busy doing other things, than genealogy?

Betty and List, Every lineage society I am a member of is having or has had or will have a State Conference. If you hold offices in these lineage socities, as I do, then it is report time. Just finished having Colonial Dames of Seventeenth Century State Conference last week and at the end of February I have United States Daughters of War of 1812 State Conference. Oklahoma State Society Daughters of the American Revolution have the State Conference in March and Oklahoma State Society Daughters of Union Veterans have the State Conference in May. The only IL ancestor that I have in the above lineage socities is HENRY DOUGLASS who lived in Roland, Indian Creek Township, White County, IL. He was born ca 1807 in Halifax County, VA and died at Quincy, IL on 14 Dec 1864 (disease) while serving in the Union Army during the Civil War. His family came by team and wagon and brought his body back to White County. His burial site is listed as Ebenezer Cemetery, White County. That is near Norris City. Cannot find a tombstone even though there is a record in the White County Historical Society where a man stated that Henry was buried in the Ebenezer Cemetery and had a military tombstone. He was married to Mary "Polly" Yates on 17 January 1826 in White County, IL. His daughter Harriet Tressie Douglass married Meander Scott (my great-great-grandparents). Their grandson, John Ruben Scott is my grandfather who was born in Hamilton County, IL., and died in Russellville, Pope County, AR in 1969. If and when I ever prove that Stephen McMahan is the father of my ancestor Reuben McMahan then I can add Stephen to my 1812 patriots. He served from the state of VA as did James McMahan (buried in New Prospect Cemetery). Reuben McMahan served during the Mexican War and they all received bounty land based on their military service. Listed in the IL Land Records they paid for their land with a warrant. Darlene Shawn Oklahoma

Was wondering if any one are researching any of these families? I have RICHARD SANDERS who was married to MATILDA McMICKLE, Richard is buried in the Hickory Hill Cem. in Hamilton Co. Also have REBECCA ELLEN SANDERS (died 1875) who married ELISHA BENNETT,(died 1872) he is buried in Hickory Hills Cem. also, and has a Civil War stone, her grave is unmarked. They died leaving 4 small children, FELIX, PHEBA A., MARY E., AND WILLIAM G. BENNETT. AARON HAMILTON SANDER who married MARTHA E. BARKER IN Hamilton Co. Sept. 1, 1870. He died in 1888, and belived to be buried at Hickory Hill Cem. What happened to her, and children? Have a THOMAS WILLIAM SANDERS, who had 3 marriages in Hamilton Co. PATSEY BARKER m. 1882, LAURA ELLIOTT m. 1886, and RESE D. ROBERTS m 1893, FRANLKIN P. SANDERS who married SARILDA HICKS in Hamilton Co. in 1879, also have a NANCY J. SANDERS who married CHARLES A. IRWIN in Hamilton Co. in 1880. These were brothers and sister to my husbands g-grandfather, DANIEL GREEN SANDERS. Thought some one might be researching the families the SANDERS married into, and have a little information they could share as to there children or just any little bit would be great.

My memory was off just a touch on when he was in Galatia (wrong war), so I thought I would also send to the list.... Best Regards, Trev "Galatia, IL., 1836-1976 - One Hundred-Forty Years of History" Reprinted by the S.C.G.S., with permission of Mrs. Leona Irvin, June 1986 Dr. Dawes commenced the practice of medicine at Galatia on his return from the Mexican War, at about the time our county was organized (1847) and continued in the practice there until rebellion when he again enlisted in defense of the flag. After returning from the war he practiced his profession at Paducah, KY. When he returned to IL, he purchased a farm in Hamilton County where now stands the Village of Broughton. The Doctor owned the land whereon the Village stands. He continued to practice medicine until declining health compelled him to give it up. He has been dead some fifteen years. He was a good physician, a patriotic and enterprising citizen and had a host of friends.

Trev, I am most interested in the Press or Presley Redfearn. Tom Henry Redfearn, brother of my husband's grandfather, William Calvin Redfearn states that his grandfather was Jack, and had a brother Press that came from Tennessee and married in Missouri. Tom and William, above is the sons of John Thomas Redfearn and Julia Ann Bradley. The grandfather, Jack died in 1887 at the age of 65 years. This would indicate that he was born in 1822 , and Jack and Press evidently is the sons of one of the Redfearns named in the 1820 census of Robertson County, Tennessee. Trying connect this Jack Redfearn to his Tennessee family. Betty

Shirley, I pass this along because of your comment that James R. Metcalf moved to Eldorado. Did he move there later - after his marriage? Other curious information -- notice the spelling of his mother's name in the following. "Saline County IL Marriage Register, Book A-1, 1878-1898" says "James R. Metcalf, barber, age 33, born IL, residence Harrisburg, parents Danl P. Metcalf and Barbaba Malow, married Etta Kilgore 15 July 1891 Harrisburg". We have not found her in any census after 1870 either. (Chuck and) Joy in CA 

Does anyone have an obituary for Matilda DILLON PRICE, 1853-1936? I'm also looking for any info on her husband, James PRICE 1854-?. Thanks! Melinda Hult

I am seeking any descendants of Elizabeth Louisa Jane Nelson (called "Eliza") who married Joshua B. Jennings in Washington, TN. They lived in Caldwell Co., KY for some time and then moved to Hamilton CO, IL. Eliza was the sister of my great grandfather, James NELSON who married Sarah Jane MATHERLEE. James and Sarah moved to IL also Their son John William NELSON married Lavina Vilena CHAFFIN and they were the parents of my mother, Mary Alice NELSON who married Thomas Alvin NEAL. My gr gr grandparents were David NELSON and Elizabeth Coleman MacKenny. His parents were Henry NELSON and Anna KELSEY. I believe that Joshua JENNINGS died in 1892 in Hamilton Co., IL and was buried in Big Hill Cemetery. Believe also that Eliza NELSON Jennings was living in Norris City, IL when she died. Any info on any of the above would be most appreciated. I am willing to share any of the info that I have on the NELSON family with cousins. Mary Jean NEAL Rice Eldorado, IL mjrice@intrnet.net

Shirley, Some time ago I downloaded some info from a Brent Metcalf <CWGP56A@Prodigy.com> which said "Bathsheba Malone b. 1829, mar. Daniel P. Metcalf, d. 15 May 1900 IL". He attributed this info to "her husband's pension records". Maybe this will help. Chuck in CA
