Posted on: Hancock County, Il Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/Hancock/1262 Surname: ------------------------- I found your message on the GenBBS forum for Hancock County, Illinois from March 1998. Since no response or follow-up is posted, hopefully the following information helps: Job Jones married Mary Adaline Longcor 19 November 1874 in Adams County, Illinois. This date is found in the Illinois Statewide Marriage Index. Job was the father of their children you mentioned, and according to a secondary source (Ancestry World Tree), died 15 October 1896. Mary Adaline Longcor was born either on 13 April 1859 or 13 March 1860 in Camp Point, Adams County, Illinois (I cannot yet be certain which of the two dates are correct) to George and Amanda Howard. She was married a second time to Ren (or Wren) Washington Hudson, and they had one son, Everett Cleveland Hudson, born 10 February 1893. This presumes a divorce between Job and Mary Adaline, or else an incorrect death date for Job listed above. Mary Adaline died 22 July 1941 in LaGrange, Missouri, and is buried near her second husband in the cemetery in Palmyra. I did not have a birthdate for Job, so for now will use yours. I do not know who is his parents were. I would appreciate knowing your sources for the dates listed in your message. Although all my sources are secondary, I have cross-checked them with all kinds of secondary sources (Census records, Internet family trees, LDS databases, etc.) and feel reasonably certain that they are reliable. My wife is descended from Mary Adaline's parents, George Longcor and Amanda Howard, through Mary Adaline's sister, Abigail Caroline Longcor (1863-1943). Feel free to contact me if you would like more information on the Longcor family.
