Dear Searchers: in response to the below query, I can provide only the following from "A History of Hancock County, 1968", page 323. I do not have the entire history, - just a page here and there so please do not ask me to do look-ups: I just don't have the data to do so. -----Original Message----- From: Fred McKenzie <kmcken19@mail.icon.net> Date: Wednesday, February 23, 2000 12:17 PM Subject: [ILHANCOC] Majorville Cemetery >Can anyone tell me where the Majorville Cemetery is located? Is there a >listing for this Cemetery? Would appreciate any info. --------------- Majorville Cemetery is located in Hancock Twp. It is a free burial ground, located north of Majorville Church. It consists of 2 acres of land deeded to the trustees of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Majorville by Major WILLIAMS and his wife, Letitia, on September 2, 1863, for the sun of $20. Later, an additional acre was purchased from S. T. CALLIHAN and wife. In this cemetery lie seventeen war veterans, including one from the War of 1812, and two from World War I. NOTE: there are no names of those interred in this cemetery in any data that I have. I think the cemetery is located in the uppermost north east quandrant (corner) of the twp. I do not know where Majorville was. I doubt if the church is still standing - doubt that there is even still a village. It may be - probably is - encircled by farm field today. Suggest you use the Topo Map and plug in the village name - it may pop-up on the map. Map URL is: http://www.topozone.com/map.asp Once you get the map website up - after 'filling in the blank', go to 'large' in the map toolbox and then to the 1:200 (whatever that first ratio number is. The map then may show the exact location of the 'town that was' and the location of the cemetery. Good hunting - good luck! shirley: bobert@panacom.com
