HI- Could you check George Washington Johnson for me? I have no idea of his death date, but had to be Feb 1876-Jun 1878 because of child born and wife remarrying. I appreciate any help. Thank you. Joyce Escue Culver

Hello, Jackson Co. cousins - I am researching Enoch E. HILL (1817-1894) who moved to Jackson Co. about 1863 - he worked as a physician. He died in Makanda Twp. His second wife was Dorcas McAlister. I know at least one of his children lived in Jackson Co. (a child from the first marriage) - she was Ruth Margaret Hill b. 1850, and she married Anslem Batson in 1869 in Jackson Co. There were other HILL children, but I have not made the connections..... The BATSONs had 3 daughters: Alma b. 1872, Ida b. 1873, Nora b. 1878. Ida married a Ragland, and Nora married a HILL. Does anyone know this family? Thank you!

Hello all, My Jackson County Connection is actually through my grandmother, Hazel Lorine VanZandt born DEC 4, 1919 in Herrin. And my her mother, Delphia "Dolly" Jones born in Murphysboro -- 16 May 1890. My grandmother I got to know really well, but her mother I met only once or twice and was very small at those times. I didn't know to ask the questions then that I would if I could today. I have two photos of Delphia and just want to know more about her and her family more. Delphia's parents were Jesse Franklin Jones and Susan Ann Aiken. Both of them died in Jackson County. I am looking for obits, or any ... ANY tidbits on the family that will help me get to know them better. Jesse supposedly died in a coal mine accident, but I don't know which one. A son, Jesse Jr. also died in a coal mine accident. I've heard a hero, in that he was trying to save someone else. Again, I have no idea which mine. Delphia was involved with some activities that might not have been considered on the up and up. I was told by a family member, that she killed someone defending my grandmother's honor. I'd think it would be in the newspapers there somewhere. There was also some sort of feud she managed to get in the middle of where people on both sides died. Well, for now, that is my connections!! Thanks for the time, Peggy A. Rowe-Snyder

Hi Karima, I am researching all of the families of Jackson County, IL, and my SHAWCROSS gedcom file is available to assist other researchers. It is posted at Rootsweb at http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=shawcross Currently, it contains records for more than 65,000 individuals, and I estimate that at least 40,000 of these are ancestors or descendants of individuals who were born in Jackson County. My file is not limited to Jackson County families - it includes families from the nearby counties of Franklin, Perry, Randolph, Union, and Williamson. I seldom post queries to the Jackson County list, but I do respond to them frequently.

My Jackson Co. relatives were mainly settled in/around the areas of: Dutch Ridge; Pomona; Carbondale; Murphysoro; Elkville and Sand Ridge. My main Jackson Co. lines are: Trobaugh; Griffin; Thompson; Latter/Latty; Wiseman; Rowan plus numerous collateral lines. Right now, I am trying to locate information regarding Oakland Cemetery. I have been somewhat stumped in my quest; if anyone has information pertaining to this cemetery, please contact me. At the present time, I am unable to do much traveling to Jackson Co. I am always willing to share information that I have; contact me if you think that our lines are related.

Dear Fellow Jackson County Researchers, First of all, I just wanted to say that I hope this New Year of 2007 will be a prosperous and happy one for each and every one of you. Secondly I wanted to give you a status report on the membership of this list. As of this morning there are 126 members subscribed to the list. Traffic on the list has been rather slow of late. It isn't only slow on this list, but most of the lists to which I belong have been very silent for what seems like a very long time. I think this might be a good time to let each other know something about our Jackson County connections and what information we are looking for, and to try to revitalize our list. Where is everybody? Well, I can only speak for myself, but I suspect that over the past few months many of us have been up to our eyeballs in preparing for the Holidays. Now that they are behind us, and we are embarking on a New Year, we can turn our thoughts and efforts in a different direction. So, let's get back to genealogy. Remember that this list, or any list, can only be as active as the participation of the members. So, take this opportunity to dig through your "sent" mail and see if you can find queries that you posted to the list for which you never received the information you need. Update them with any additional information you might have been able to acquire and then resend you query to the list. If you have any resource books for Jackson County, and you feel that you can devote some time to sharing that information, either post some of it to the list, or offer to do limited time lookups for the other members of the list. So, if anyone has a question to ask, or resources to offer, please let us know. This is a good list and in the past lots of helpful information has flown back and forth . . . we just need to get back to it. Best wishes and good luck with your searches.

Little Egypt Heritage Articles eduda tsunogisdi © Bill Oliver 31 December 2006 Vol 5 Issue: #43 ISBN: pending O’siyo, Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen of Little Egypt, “Folk Cures” Happy New Year – at midnight, you have survived another year. Those I will miss: Former President Ford, Dana Reeve, Don Knotts, Mike Douglas, Shelley Winters, Steve “Crocodile Hunter” Irwin, and feisty Texan Ann Richards. Oh, and Ed Bradley. The list seems less this year. My oldest living relative reminded me that she was ninety-six this month, which reminded me that my Dad would have turned the same age the last of last month. I’m just not old enough to have a child about to turn fifty. A while back it was recommended that I either get rid of our cat or start taking a med for allergies. In stopping in to the drug department of MegaStore I was struck by the rows and rows of boxes and bottles of “Medicine Show” items perpetrated to cure, or at least treat, endless kinds of ailments. This got me to thinking about “Arthur”, that visitor which impedes my fingers from doing all they used to do. Which, of course, reminded me of my Scot-Irish heritage. These are the folk who in 1610 became part of the King of England’s “Great Settlement” [also known as the “King’s Plantation”]. This was an attempt by King James to gain and maintain control of those Irish who were not Protestant. After about one hundred years, becoming dissatisfied and crowded, they began emigrating in large numbers to English Colonies. My Scot-Irish did so to America. As far as I can discern, these were superstitious folk who believed and held in high regard, weather signs, nature lore, omens and family customs, thus holding onto the use of their remedies for ailments. Grandma Oliver held one from her youth. She said the girls needing extra iron for their systems would put iron nails into glasses of water and when there was enough rust they would drink it. Somewhere I have read that more than twenty-five percent of our medications today come from nature’s chemicals. Thus, it doesn’t surprise me in the least that medical folk lore having been passed down for centuries is still accepted as fact today. And, you know how hard it is to get these stubborn folk to change from these old remedies to modern medicine. These backwoodsmen used many plants to provide the basic ingredients that were used in medicines and remedies. And, if I remember correctly, there seemed to be a belief among my ancestors, passed down again for many generations, that to be effective the concoction had to be obnoxious and distasteful. In fact, the more distasteful, the more powerful or effective, such as those awful ‘plasters’ they put on my throat and/or chest to rid ‘deep chest’ colds. Patent medicines still use some of these ‘nature’s’ materials. Wild cherry bark boiled for cough medicine I believe is one I remember from boyhood. From the James Harriet stories, I remember an episode where ‘Vet’nary Mr Harriot’ was given a meal of ‘fatback’ or ‘sowbelly’ which was to prevent stomach problems. Sassafras, horehound and pennyroyal were all used as teas to treat coughs. To this day when I get a coughing ‘fit’ during the night I get up and take a piece of horehound candy and suck on it. I do this even knowing that today’s horehound candy only has a very mild flavor of the candy I remember as a child. Further, I remember that Grandma Lester used to put honey in the horehound tea to cut the taste and sooth the throat. Grandpa Lester[?] would obtain red cedar leaves and stems. Grandma would boil them and he’d inhale them when he had a ‘deep’ cough. Willow leaves were boiled into a tea and used to break fevers. In my college chemistry class I learned that willows contained salicylic acid, better known as aspirin. When I was a teen in the forests and swamps of coastal North Carolina, pine pitch from the white pine was used to aid in healing wounds and sores. Hemlock was used to stop bleeding from cuts. I suspect it might have been the tannin in the bark. And somewhere I have read that tannin was good for burns. My American ancestors brought with them their traditions and were quick to pick up or adapt the ways of the Native Indians, particularly the Cherokee. I remember one such remedy for warts. Take a kernel of corn and rub it over the wart. Then wrap it up and put, by the light of the full moon, at the point of a crossroads. Part of this treatment was knowing that if someone picked the kernel up the wart would be passed on to them. From my files of the ‘cure for ailments’ comes some ‘cures’ I have not researched for reasons or effectiveness; just collected. Black chickens must produce superstitious qualities, for two uses for such animals says that the blood of a black chicken will cure shingles if rubbed on them. I never had the courage to suggest that when my wife had them. Along the same line, black chickens flying over one with shingles after the sun has set brings ‘out’ chickenpox. It used to be feared that one would die if the ‘pox’ went in instead of coming out. Grandma Oliver use to say that rubbing the hair of new borns with camphor would keep them from losing their hair. Stomach aches could be prevented by wearing the root of rhubarb around one’s neck. To prevent colds, hang red onions from the bedposts. It never worked for me, however, when I was a tad of a lad, someone told me that carrying a buckeye in my pocket would prevent rheumatism. If a tooth aches on the left side of your jaw, tie a string around the ‘little’ toe of your right foot. The opposite for a ‘right side ache’. Another tooth remedy is to put your opposite hand from the ache into ice water. Vanilla and almond extract works for toothaches. I wonder if it is the high alcohol content that has the effect? They both contain about a third alcohol. I’d choose the almond extract myself – it contains a bit more percentage. If peppermint oil [used in the making of candy] doesn’t work on your toothache it, will be fine for your sinuses’. Warm salt water will aid in subsiding tooth pain. Gargling with salt water will ease the pain of sore throats, as will chlorophyll, bayberry, bistort, cayenne, eucalyptus, fenugreek, horehound, liquorice, lobelia, red sage, spearment, peppermint, wintergreen, witch hazel, and more. And, should all this give you a headache, I’ll look in the file for those cures. Again, Happy New Year folks, and thanks for reading. e-la-Di-e-das-Di ha-WI NV-WA-do-hi-ya NV-WA-to-hi-ya-da.

I suspect the gravemarker for E. L. BLAYLOCK at Mt. Pleasant-Jerusalem cemetery is for the George BLAYLOCK who is listed with Margaret in the 1880 census. Perhaps his name was Elijah L. BLAYLOCK and his nickname was George? Anyway, Margaret's maiden name was SUMNER. The second wife was Nancy A. WOLF. Her first marriage was to G. J. AKIN, and they had two children: Samuel Elmus "Elmus" AKIN, b. 3 May 1885, and Grace AKIN, born Apr 1887. The surname AKIN had several spelling variations. John Parker BLAYLOCK, b. 21 May 1875, d. 23 Nov 1948, was one of the four children of Elijah L. "George" BLAYLOCK and his first wife Margaret SUMNER. http://www.tomshawcross.blogspot.com http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=shawcross&id=I53 ----- Original Message ----- From: <gc-gateway@rootsweb.com> To: <ILJACKSO-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, December 29, 2006 2:26 PM Subject: [ILJACKSO] BLAYLOCK, Elijah L. b. 1849 AR d. 1927 Jac.
