I would like to see the census record, I have information on the Head family lines, I saw a Jack head in your e-mail. Not sure if I can be of any help, but would be to do anything I can.

I also have an excerpt from Siegfried Obit Scrapbook noting that Vitus died from cholera in September 1880. It seems that a Mr. Mack or Mark Baird was Frances attorney during the final hearing on the execution of this will. A man by the name of James Bolton appears several times throughout the documents. He appears to be a witness of Vitus last will and testament and an appraiser for the value of property. There are 2 more names listed as witnesses on the last will and testament. One of those individuals appears to be a man by the name of George Herbert and the other is C. J. the last name I cannot read. i am sure that there is a lot of wonderful info in these documents I just can not read most of it. Most of this stuff is hand written in the penmanship of the day. This is pretty fun stuff, I hope to one day finally discover when and where Vitus came to the U.S. The adventure continues!!!! Phillip

My guess is that the head of household is Jacob Tholl.  Michael http://www.rootdig.com On Thu, February 1, 2007 12:29 pm, Lady Tia wrote: > Or if anyone recoginizes these names. > > > Trying to figureout what the last name is on this family.

I would have to reiterate Mary's point regarding the book. It can be extremely helpful, but I would use it as a starting point--there are errors in some parts of it.

I see there are a lot of references the past several days for people requesting information from Mrs. Bruennen's "Pioneers of the Prairie". It has been said before and I'm going to repeat--use that book as a beginning source but back it up with further research. There are a number of errors and assumptions throughout that volume--as in all histories, I assume! She did a lot of work putting that together but some of the information is in error. Also, I would be curious what "History of Hancock County" is being used and has an index. ----- Original Message ----- From: <gc-gateway@rootsweb.com> To: <ILHANCOC-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 31, 2007 10:41 AM Subject: Re: [ILHANCOC] Vestus Paul--- Francis Roast--Pioneers of the prarie > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Surnames: Paul/Davidson > Classification: queries > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.illinois.counties.hancock/2103.3.1.4.1/mb.ashx > > Message Board Post: > > Thank you so very much!!!
