Reviewing a few pages copied long ago from the Abstracts of Hamilton County wills 1821-1915. Found 2 names of interest but have no idea how they fit into my family. First is on will of James Alexander Rupart written 12/10/1888, he has a daughter, Eliza C. Farris. In all my Hamilton County Farris' I do not have a Eliza C. Rupart marrying a Farris. Does anyone know what Farris family she married into. A John R. Farris is the executor of the will but I do not know who he is either. Secondly in the will of John Webb written 11/16/1882 he is 55 years old (born 1827) he is married to Sarah W. Webb. Does anyone know his or her parents. My gggrandfather was Thompson Farris who married Julia Webb. Thompson b. 1809 in KY married and moved to southern Illinois by 1830's. Joan
It appears that Eliza C Rupart [a.k.a. Rupard] [this spelling is also found on some estate documents I have from the 1850s in Hamilton Co]married a Theodore Faries [probably variation of Farris]in Saline Co, IL in 1867..see reference below: Illinois Statewide Marriage Index 1763 - 1900 http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/cgi-bin/archives/marriage.s FARIES, THEODORE RUPARD, ELIZA C SALINE 01/29/1867 A/ 237 Hope this helps, barb in Savannah,GA ----- Original Message ----- From: <JLBODENLOS@aol.com> To: <ILHAMILT-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, March 31, 2001 11:55 PM Subject: [ILHAMILT-L] Will Abstracts?? : Reviewing a few pages copied long ago from the Abstracts of Hamilton County : wills 1821-1915.
