Thank you, Ron. You are definitely right about it being a post office. I assumed, perhaps wrongly, that if it was a post office it was also a town. Perhaps the post offices at that time (1840-1850) were in settlements, not towns, or just in one of the scattered private homes sort of like a pony express station. And yes, the Kibbe museum did have a display of postmarks, and they may be able to tell me a lot more, so I will check there soon. Thanks again.

Hi, Seekers: This link gives the data on villages - and much more - recorded in the Doomsday book. (William the Conqueror and Battle of Hastings, etc.). It is all interesting. http://www.domesdaybook.co.uk/contents.html Shirley: [email protected]

Hi, friends, Does anyone know where Dekalb was located in Hancock Co.? Was it an earlier name for an existing town?

Hi Mark, Thanks for getting back to me. My connection is the Long family. Roberta

Hi Roberta, Apparently I do not immediately tie into the family of Samuel Long or Sarah Kinney. I assume that I am related somehow to most of the Kinney families, however, -Mark

I just finished Harmony Cemetery in Harmony Township. I was lucky cause a lot of my family are buried here http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilhancoc/harmony.html If anyone has anything to add please email me. Shawnnee

Mark, I forgot to ask if you connect to Sarah Kinney from Hancock County who married Samuel Long in Adams County? They seperated in 1870s and we have no idea where Samuel Long went. Thought you might know something about this family. Roberta Summers

Hi Mark, Yes, I have researched my husband Summers family. They came from No. Carolina to Union County Illinois and on to Tazewell County Illinois where they stayed until their death. I don't think we connect but one can never tell with genealogy. Thanks for writing. Roberta Summers

Hi Roberta, I am studying the Summers family from Montgomery Co. Kentucky, Putnam/Hendricks Co. Indiana, Decatur Co. Iowa, and Mitchell Co. Kansas. My ancestor, Joseph Richmond Kinney was born in 1860, West Point, Hancock Co. Illinois. When He moved to Kansas he married Etta Imogene Summers, daughter of James Harvey Summers and Sarah Marian Hisey. I am curious if you have been studying the Summers surname. -Mark Vernon Seattle, WA

Linda, I forgot to add that you can e-mail them also.Besure and send your snail mail address. Right now I don't have their e-mail address but you might be able to get it off the Hancock County list. If not get back to me. Roberta Summers

Linda, You would be better off to write the Historical Society. They will look it up for $10.00 and mail it to you. They are really good about helping. I wrote the library in Carthage two years ago for and obit and still haven't heard from them. Have been in there a few times several years ago and they are not a bit friendly. Good Luck.

Well, I know for certain that she was not sent back to Ohio to be buried by her husband. If you find anything in your cem. transcription work, let me know.

I have two separate sources that cite a death date for Mathilda (Miner) Allison. The Raccoon Brigade by Jeannette Grosvenor says she died 1 September 1860 in Warsaw, Hancock Co., IL; another source says that she died 18 June 1841 in the same location. Her husband died in 1840 in Ohio and she is not known to have remarried; at least not in Ohio. To complicate matters, I cannot find her in the 1840, 1850, or 1860 census. Does anyone have any information that will help here? I've looked at the Warsaw cemeteries that are on-line at the Rootsweb Hancock Co. site and haven't found her. I would really appreciate some assistance on this; I need this information for lineage papers. Thanks in advance. CheriC
