Mary, I noted with interest the Jackson CO Death Records 1844-1906. Is this for the whole county or was it pretty much confined to Carbondale and/or Murphysboro. I am looking for Hobbs', in particular, an N. or Nice Ann or Nicey Hobbs Duncan. She was first married to Thomas Hobbs, then John Taylor Lauderdale and then William Montgomery Duncan and I believe that she died and was buried on William Montgomery Duncan's farm in about 1881. Any help in finding her death date would be most appreciated.

Gwen, I'm not sure about what book covers what area. There is nothing in the 1844-1906 book to indicate where the people were from or where buried. the 1904-1915 book looks like it has folks from Murphysboro, Carbondale, Makanda and all over. The 1844-1915 book has a Codlia E. Hobbs listed who died in September of 1879 at the age of 24. There is no indication where she was from or where she is buried. The county clerk might have that information. I don't have any Hobbs listed in the 1904-1915 book. There is a Mrs. Anna Duncan listed in the 1844-1906 book along with an Annie Duncan. There is no date of death given for Mrs. Anna Duncan but the date of death given for Annie is September 1879 at the age of 2 (guess this isn't yours either). There are also several other Duncans listed (Barbara, Dilla, Margaret, Mary Alice and William). Does any of this help.
