It brings up several Walker cemeteries, so click on the one near Carthage for Hancock county. It will give you the GPS coordinates, and also a map that you can zoom in on. Looks like it's between a couple of county roads and just west of another one running north and south. Good luck.

There are several Burnett infants or small children buried in the Providence cemetery in St. Marys township. Also one Burnett adult, Hetty, born 1790-died 1845. I don't know anything about her or these children. Robert ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the Internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!

Dear friends, Late this afternoon, I drove to Sutter, hoping to find the Walker Cemetery. From plats, I thought it must be located about a mile or two directly south of Sutter. I drove slowly, south of Sutter, looking on both sides along the road for any sign of the cemetery. About two miles south of Sutter, I came to a T-road. Does anyone on the forum know where the Walker Cemetery is located, exactly? Sincerely, Robert ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the Internet in years - Juno SpeedBand! Surf the Web up to FIVE TIMES FASTER!

Hi, Seekers, According to the April 2004 Hancock County Historical Society (HCHS) Newsletter, copies of the book, FAMILIES OF HANCOCK COUNTY, ILLINOIS, A BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY, are still available from the society. More than 800 entries are included in this new book. Order from HCHS, PO Box 68, Carthage, IL 62321. Price is $80. Add $5, if shipped. Just thought you might like to know. Shirley: [email protected]

Mary, I've read through much of Gregg's 1880 County History, but I haven't studied his account of the Mormon trouble recently, and have forgotten what he said; but your comments have motivated me to want to review it again. I know there are copies of the history readily available here in Carthage. I'm sure many people in that day were concerned about the mixing of the Mormon religion and politics, a religion with a large militia, and the threat to them by such a combination. The act of our legislature this week (which one account I've seen, says is an expression of their "regrets" rather than an apology) borders on mixing politics and religion again, in my opinion. In a day when many would take "under God" out of the pledge of allegiance because they think it is "promoting religion", it seems quite strange to me that the legislature would seem to be encouraging any given religion in our state. Without a doubt, money, tourism, etc. is behind it, but still it seems out of line to me. Others may differ with me, and that is their right. On a genealogical note, of sorts, I spent an hour or two with my digital camera, taking a few pictures today, for the Hancock county website. Am keeping plenty busy right now, but decided to get away from my desk for an hour or so during the lunch hour, in hopes of keeping my sanity.

Hi Marcia, I wanted to let you know that I have the burial records of Oakwood but have not got them all on the website yet.I may even have the dates of his wife. As I go through that cemetery I will know who they are. I went ahead and added them now though. I also have a cousin working on the records more up to date for the Hamilton cemeteries. I still have quite a few cemeteries to go but with Jim home and my grandkids here I have not been able to do anything. I guess I am getting old. My grandkids are wearing me out.

Shawnee, Please add Thomas Gregg and his wife, Sarah Lawton Gregg, to the list of burials at Oakwood Cemetery, Hamilton. My source for this information is an article from the Hancock County Journal, dated June 18, 1953, written by Pearl Gordon Vestal. As one of untold numbers of researchers who owe a huge debt of gratitude to Editor Gregg, I was saddened to learn that both he and his wife lie in unmarked graves, unless in the intervening years a marker has been placed for them. According to this article, Thomas Gregg was born 14 December 1808, died 11 February 1892. I regret that I do not have dates for Mrs. Gregg. Perhaps someone else on the list can add that information. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~majorville/hancock_related/gregg.html Marcia Farina
