I have just located the Hartings who I have been trying to trace for some time in the 1870 census in Jo D. Co. They probably died by the 1880 census, as they are no longer located there. Is there any probate index for those who left wills or estates in Jo C. Co.? ---Richard

Surnames: McGinnis, Copher, Brown, McCleese, Burnett, Lowe, Buckley, Frey, Parker, Staggs Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Jg.2ADI/1191.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Hi, Thank you so much for your reply. Francis was the son of William McGinnis (my gr gr gr grandfather) and his first wife. So far we have been unable to identify the mother of Francis. We once thought that it might be Trifena Taylor but it was proved that she could not have been the mother of Francis. We (several McGinnis cousins) now believe that William married in PA and there are several theories what happened to the first wife. One theory has her dying and the children being farmed out to members of her family and there is another theory that they separated after an argument between William and his brother-in-law. William married his second wife, Jane Brown (my gr gr gr grandmother) in Bath County, Ky., the same place that Francis and Jane Copher were married. William and Jane settled in Greenup Co., Ky. and were the progenitors of the McGinnis line in Carter and Greenup Co.'s, Ky. After Francis and Jane moved to Indiana, Francis wrote a letter to Reuben (my gr gr grandfather), s/o William and half-brother to Francis, asking him and/or Reuben to join him. Could you please tell me about John and his family. I only have one child, Gertrude, listed for John and Augusta. Any info would be greatly appreciated. I have the following lineage for your John McGinnis: 1. Francis McGinnis b. cir 1735 in Ireland m. Rebecca 2. William McGinnis b. 5 Dec 1782 m. ??? 3. Francis II b. 8 Mar 1801 m. Jane Copher 4. Enoch McGinnis b. 23 June 1828 m. Beulah Buckley 5. John F. McGinnis m. Augusta Frey My lineage is as follows: 1. Francis 2. William 3. Reuben McGinnis m. Martha Caroline Black 4. William Jasper McGinnis m. Matilda McCleese 5. Thomas McGinnis m. Ida Mae Parker 6. John Henry McGinnis m. Sarah Staggs 7. Betty McGinnis m. Bill Burnett 8. Sherry Burnett (me) m.

Surnames: Capps, Armstrong Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Jg.2ADI/1184.2 Message Board Post: Lead mining extended along the Apple River from the Wisconsin state line south to at least Elizabeth. The "mineral" was in very scattered deposits. I have not found a reference to Blackhawk. Evidently it was a very shortlived mining area. There was a Blackhawk War fort and blockhouse in Elizabeth, so it might have been near there. The Elizabeth City Cemetery has burials dating back as far as 1846. The Elizabeth City Cemetery-Old Section listing in this link has information from the sexton's books as well as from the markers, so is more complete than most listings that are made only from the markers. I did not happen to see any Capps or Armstrong listings, but I may have overlooked them. If you can get to this area, you might want to walk it yourself as I have record of one marker that was incompletely included in this listing. http://www.rootsweb.com/~iljodavi/cemeteries/cem.htm I also have not located any reference to "Georgetown". Good luck!
