What township is Ozark Precinct in, please? I'm trying to check out some possible family (ie. Jane Duncan) in the 1910 Johnson Co. Census. Ancestry shows her in Ozark Precinct, but then only lists the townships when you go to look it up. Thanks so much, Harlene Soper Brown Johnson Co. Surnames: McGinnis - Shelton - Rice - Browning - Duncan - Soper

Hi Debbie, I just checked my file and, unfortunately, I don't list any John J. Shelton, or Minor's or a Joseph Neeley. I would have loved to have made a connection. Sigh........

Hello Harlene, Do you have a John J. Shelton in your line? He married Sarah Minor and they had a daughter Janie C. Shelton whom married Joseph A. Neely. This may not be in your line as Janie was born in Saline Co. in 1883. Debbie On Sun, 22 Aug 2004 19:07:07 -0700 "James R.

I received this email from Raymond Nunn he wrote below can anyone help him with this. I have the article if someone needs it. Tim...I am sending you an attachment of a 1933 photo of a family reunion/90th birthday celebration of a woman named Mrs. N.A. Parker. The photo was taken in the community of Fern Hill, Illinois. I have been on the search for both the Parker family and Fern Hill for two years all to no avail. I enlisted the assistance of the reporter who wrote the attached story but I discovered that it was not in the St.Clair (Belleville) area. I finally hit on the Latitude and Longitude coordinances for Fern Hill and they landed me right smack in Johnson County. When I searched your area I found a Fern Cemetery located on highway Rt 45 between Vienna and Harrisburg...I am supposing that there may have been the community or town of Fern Hill located right in that area in 1933...Put on your history hat...and see if you can verify this for me...I also read the history of Simpson and wonder if Mr. Kerly is still living...If he is he could probably tell where Fern Hill was located...I sure hope you answer me...and I sure hope that I get some kind of Fern Hill location verification...Thanks and I'll look forward to hearing from you...

Are there any records regarding railroad men or lumber mill hands around Forman or New Burnside in 1860s to 1880s? Thanks, Carolyn Heimann

I am in need of some assistance for those Johnson members with resources. I am trying to locate any information on SIMEON BERRY. I have census data already, but I am in need of anything else you may be able to look-up for me. Simeon died Jan 09, 1880. A death cert/transcription would be fantastic. Simeon was in Johnson from 1853-1880. There has to be something more on this man! Unless I can locate more info on where he came from in KY or TN, my 6 years of searching for this guy may come to a final halt. Thank you very much. Jeff

Thanks so much for the suggestions. I'll try them. Joyce

I need a little info and lots of help. I'm trying to help my neice by marriage find a grandpa that we have very little info on. He was in Colorado Springs, CO in 1943 in the military, and I have narrowed it down to 3 candidates of the same name, and I have only birth dates, and their SS #, and where it was issued. Also death dates, and places. Can anyone give me a quicker way to get to the spot where I can get a form for a grand daughter to get records?

Floyd, From scanning thru the History and Families book for Johnson County it looks like I will be sending you some info on the Smoot, Yandell and Vancleve families. There is 2 ways I can do it. I can scan the pages and email them or I can copy the pages and mail them to you US postal mail. If I scan them and email you will have them sooner but when I email them it does take a little time for them to come thru but I would email them in separate emails and it will probably be tomorrow or the next day before I can do it. I still have to check the cemetery books too for the lookups you want from them. I got quite a few to look up and I want to accommodate everyone that made a request. I bought the cemetery books for the purpose of doing lookups and I do enjoy helping when I can. My grandmother was born in Johnson County in 1889 and I have a lot of research there as we are only about 125 miles northwest of Johnson County.

Hi, Do your references include Smoot, Gingrich, Yandell or Vancleave (spellings vary)? I am looking particularly for the burial site of Volney Vancleave (Civil War) and Ulrich Z Smoot (about 1890). Also interested in who the descendents of Wilson Frost Vancleave are; they are all cousins. Cordially, Floyd E.

I have that book and there is no mention of a Ramey or Ramay family in the book. I also have the Family and History book for Johnson County and the only Ramey mentioned in that book is Minne Ramey that married Charles Hilton Vaughn on August 16, 1917. I also have the cemetery books for all 9 townships of Johnson County and if you want a look up in those books, email me at [email protected] and let me know who and I will look for you and let you know what I find.

Hi List, I was wondering if anyone has a copy of the Johnson County, history book by Mrs. P. T. Chapman 1925. it is currently on sale at the historical society. If you do have a copy of the book could you please tell me if there are any Ramay or Ramey families in it. I recently purchased some obit books from the society and do not have anything that i have been looking for and before i put out another $45.00 for a book i would like to know what is in the book Lisa Hudgens [email protected]
