I'm a little late on reading the digests, but I noted this message (below) re. the Youngs in Chili, Hancock. I don't know what the question was, but I have some info on this family, specifically the family of Henry A. G. Young, one of the pioneer families of Hancock County. Henry A. G. Young was b. 27 Jan 1820, Petersburg VA and d. 1884 in IL. He m. twice. First, he m. Abilgail D. Graw, 1840. Their children were Abigail, Julia, Susan, Mary E. and Henry W. Second, he m. Mary Eleanor Van Brunt 29 Dec 1853. Their children were Alnilda, Julia, Colwell, Benjamin, George and Alexander. This family was connected with my Van Brunt and Campbell families of Hancock County. Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

She married Frederick Wm. Buckert. She was born 22Nov1869 died 20Feb1929 married my g-grandfather 12Dec1889. I have their descendants, if this is a line you may be interested in.

Buckert, Hattie S.A. either in Basco or Bethlem United Church of Christ Cemetery, Walker Township, Hancock Co., IL This confusing, I have Hattie's.A. Buckert erected stone for brother John C. or G. Young b.16Sep1875 d.19Oct1923. >From History of Hancock Co., IL,Illustrated, 1888, by Thomas Greg, I have this information on Youngs: Hannah Young nee Frazey and Isaac Young, a machinist and farmer, from New Jersey and England, Isaac died Dec.1877. Hannah was the daughter of Samuel and Mary Frazey, New Jersey. Isaac came to America in 1828 went to New Jersey in 1832. Married in 1832. Children Carrie (M. Wright) married a Worthen, possibly married previously to a Mr. Wright came to Hancock Co., IL in 1845. Wish I would have taken better notes so I could understand better. How far we go once we've been into researching for awhile, Being meticulous so we can make documentation more accurate and understandable. LOL Also have a Wm. Young that married Juliett Tomms, m.16May1850. Have you checked the Illinois State Marriage Records? War sites? Hope these help fill in some gaps.
