Hi Marcia, I hope all of you who are reading these histories know that I did not write them. I am just typing what is in the history of the Hancock County histories by Warren L. Van Dine. Charles Scholfield and Mr. Siegfried. I have to leave the language as written but I can add a note at the bottom of the list.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Pilkington Garside Speer Stevenson Thornber Lambert Webber Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Eg.2ADI/2149 Message Board Post: I am interested in these Pilkingtons from Bolton. Specifically, I am trying to identify information about Adam Pilkington who married Jane Garside. The family converted to Mormonism (LDS) and then immigrated to America. Adam came alone on the ship Hanover, with a Date of Departure: 12 Mar 1842 Port of Departure: Liverpool, England LDS Immigrants: 200 Church Leader: Amos Fielding Date of Arrival: 2 May 1842 Port of Arrival: New Orleans, Louisiana Notes: "FOURTEENTH COMPANY. -- Hanover, about 200 souls. The ship Hanover sailed from Liverpool March 12th, 1842, with about two hundred Saints on board bound for Nauvoo, via New Orleans, in charge of Amos Fielding arrived in Nauvoo with about one hundred and fifty of his company, May 14th, 1842." That ship manifest listed a Thomas Pilkington (age 28), an Elizabeth Pilkington (age 23), and Adam Pilkington (age 32). The following year his wife and children came to the U.S. aboard the ship Champion.

The ship manifest listed Jane Pilkington (age 31), Mary Pilkington (age 9), Margaret Pilkington (age 5), Betty Pilkington (age 4), and Amos Pilkington (age 3).

RE: Thornber Cemetery Shawnee, all your posted data lines up perfectly with mine. One interment you listed with only date of death is Thomas Thornber. Full information on him is: Thomas Thornber, died September 4, 1957 (full name, Thomas William Thornber), was born 1 May 1884 in Powelltown, Hancock co., IL., son of William Henry Thornber and Luanna L. Lewis (grandson of Morgan R. Lewis and Mary Ann Downing). Ray Downing, Las Vegas
