Take I-24 to exit 16, then east on 146 for maybe 100 yards and then N. on 147, approximately 2 miles out, on the left is a gravel road after a cluster of houses. If you see the small lake on the right, you past it by a 1/4 mile. turn down the gravel and make the Right angle curve, you'll see the church, graveyard is between you and church at that point.

Hello Johnson County Researchers, I am sending this letter that my grandmother wrote to the list in hopes some of you may recognize the people or places and get in touch with me. Her names was Clara McConnell Fritts b. 29 Jan 1892 d. 29 Oct 1959. She married Joseph Lee Fritts. Her parents were Dr. Albert McConnell and Rebecca Cardwell. I have lots of informations on these other families I would love to share. For a number of years the McConnells sent around a Round Robin Letter. Do you know what that is? Well, it would be sent to each family member. That person would write a letter that told what their family was doing at that time. Then it would be sent to the next family. The next time the letter came around the person would take his old letter out and write a new one of all the things that had happened to them since the last time the letter came around. This is a letter to the Round Robin from Grandma Clara but they had ask that each family member tell what they remembered about Dr. Albert McConnell, her father. It is how we got some clues to our family. It is sorta long but I think you might enjoy it. I have kept the spelling and all the same. It was written about 1950. It is called: HISTORY OF OLD DR. A. McCONNELL BY Clara McConnell Fritts He was in the Civil War four years. He ran off at eighteen and joined. They brought him back once, but he ran off again. He lay in Andersonville Prison six months, was abused and starved. A man threw an ear of corn to him and the guard told him that if he touched it, he'd jab a spear in him. He died and was laid out to bury when a colored lady held a mirror to his lips and found he was breathing, said "Law me, folks, that man is not dead." She got coffee and brought him to. He said that if he could find that negro, he would keep her up a life time. He finally came home after the war was over and studied medicine and made a doctor. His father was Samuel McConnell. He was a fine Christian man and would ride miles to attend prayer meeting, was a school teacher, taught one school until they called it the Old McConnell School. Albert's mother was Elizabeth Carlton. She had two borthers, Uncle Dickie and Uncle Ambrose. They had three or four children. I was not very well acquainted with them. His father had one sister, Jincie. She lived with Pa. That's what we called them, Pa and Ma. Pa was going to church one Sunday. He saw a pretty girl looking out of an upstairs window. He said, "That is my wife." It was my mother, Miss Rebecca Cardwell. Pa took her home that day and in a short time, they were married. Her father was a well-to-do farmer. he gave them $50.00 to buy their furniture. It would not buy much now. They had a hard life. Pa was a country doctor. Money was scarce and food not very plentiful. Charlie came sixteen months after they married. Then Lizzie (red-headed), Clara and Alice, twins, Sam, Johnnie, Tom, Ethel and Ida. He moved from one place to another for years. The first thing I remember was two little girls talking. One said, "Let's stay for dinner. They are going to have biscuits." We moved to Missouri in a covered wagon, moved back to Illinois in a year. Pa gave us all an education. Charlie was a teacher, afterward a doctor. Sam was a teacher, afterward a lawyer. He served as city attorney in Hot Springs and in Nashville Ark. He married Mattie Belle Bowen, had four fine children, Jamie, Bowen, Seg and George. Do not know what Bowen does. Jamie was a teacher. Seg is a letter carrier. George is in the army, has a daughter, Jo Ann. Seg has Jimmie, Dickie, Jeanny, Lizzie married young. Married Will Martin, had two children, Suda and Claude. Will died. Lizzie married Ray Listen, had one girl, Olen. They are all dead now. Suda left a daughter, Opal, sons Bill and Cardew. Suda's Husband' name was Walter Edwards. Tom married Prudence Randall, taught school, but quit, said he did not have any job raising people's kids for them. He is a fine laundry man, the best. Ida married. We do not know if she is dead or alive. Clara, that's me, married a mill man. Had a hard life as well as he. Had nine children, lost four, raised five. Lee Fritts, my husband, died when my youngest child was five years old, the oldest sixteen. With Charlie's help raised and educated them. My oldest boy died with appendicitis. The others are all married and have families: Robert, three, Milton, Wilma Lee and Cortez; Cecil two, Clara Maud and Alice Faye; Marie five, Charles, Billy, Cecil Louise, Linda Lee and Jimmie; Gladys, three, Judy, Shirley and Jeraldine. I was in an accident twelve years ago and contracted arthritis. Am crippled up. Eight weeks ago, I fell and fractured my ankle. This incident is rooted so deep in my memory I can not wait to tell it in his history (Pa's). He practiced medicine horseback, would ride ten and fifteen miles on a maternity case and made two more trips for $5.00...........Pa moved to Cross Roads, bought ten acres of land and a log house froma Mr. Taylor who would be our neighbor. He contracted with a mill man, George Huffman, to take and old gray mare and let Charlie, seventeen years old, work for lumber to build a new house. He built it with four rooms and a long front porch. He boxed one end for an office. He was very proud of it with shelves and drawers for this medicine necessities. We felt very proud of our new home and new office with his sign, Dr. A. McConnell, out in front. I was twelve years old. Ethel was born when I was thriteen, Alice, my twin sister, died. It was so sad and left me so lonely. We always sat together and studied in the same books. She was so sweet and good. Everyone love her. I used to wonder why I did not die instead. I had been sick and was spoiled and not so good..........When I was fourteen, Ida was born. I did all the work and the neighbor women would some of them come and sit with Ma in the afternoon while I went to school. The white-sided school was just across the road from us. I got three prizes that year one for getting the most headmarks in spelling, one for good behavior and one for not missing a day. Then, if you went half a day, they gave you credit for a whole day...........The boys, Sam and Tom, planted corn and raised for the pigs Pa bought them. I can hear Sam yet saying, "Pig, pig,pig, roop." instead of "Pig souie" like Pa........Ma raised chickens, geese and turkeys and a nice garden to help out. Geese to make feather beds and pillows as the family increased. Think we had four or five big feather beds and any number of pillows. They thought they would freeze without a feather bed. She sold eggs and chickens and turkeys to buy our clothes. I remember one time Pa had a big basket of eggs, took me and Alice with him and bought us a pair of shoes and a new hat. Mine were No. 13 and Alice's were No. 1's. Ma had two cows and sold butter. When she had company, she just went out and killed a hen or sometimes a rooster and make a big pot of dumplings and cooked potatoes. We were all ver fond of potatoes. We had a hired girl when Ma was sick. She was a regular grouch. She never got enough potatoes. She would cook a putful (Ella Mount)(an old maid)......But sorry to say, Ma had to sell all her chickens, geese, and turkeys and cows. Pa took a notion to move to town, a little railroad town, Simpson. Goodbye to the old white-sided school house where one teacher taught all the grades. They had a big recitation bench and a class would go up there and recite and then return to their seats and another class would go up all day long. We lived at Simpson two years. Ma took pneumonia and died and left Ida,three, and Ethel, five, my responsibility. Lizzie was married. But in a short time, Pa married louise Gregory, Horace's mother. She was a good mother, had three boys, Guy, Ben, and Horace. They move to Oklahoma where her father lived. Learned to love all of them. Grandpa, as we learned to call him. a lean, white-headed man, had Louise, Carrie, John, Jim and Bertha. They had different mothers. Louise raised Bertha and Jim. Grandpa Gregory married an Indian woman and had one baby boy, Lawrence, and then died. They never see Lawrence...........Pa next moved to Springdale, Arkansas. There, I married Lee Fritts, left the McConnnell abode, took up the Fritt's abode......After living in Jessieville and Hot Springs, Pa moved to Douglas Arizona and bought a home. He died there. Louise, Horace's mother, died at Artisia, California, where she bought a home. Horace took her to Whittier to bury her. She was put away with lots of flowers. So that ends the history of old Dr. A. McConnell, my father. ENJOY!!!

These Webbs are quite tangled!! My notes reflect the following on Mitchell WEBB (1787-1869): Married 1st to Rhoda Elmore. Their children: Francis 1810-1863 may have married Martha MYATT Nancy 1811/1814 (no additional info avail... looking for her!) Allen 1815-1886 m Mary KOONCE, 1838 Mary 1816(?) (no additional info avail... looking for her!) James 1817(?) (may have additional info here, trying to prove out) Mitchell married 2nd to Sarah Elmore. There is some question as to these two wives... they may have been sisters, and Sarah may have been married previously. Looking for any documentation for these women. Elmore men appear in Morgan Co., TN census and may have been brothers. Several of Mitchell's children are documented as born in Morgan Co, TN. That was their previous location and my focus for trying to locate Nancy & Mary. May also have lived in Jefferson Co., IL prior to locating in Johnson Co. Many Webbs in Jefferson Co. Children of Mitchell & Sarah: Rhoda 1827-1910 m. Leander Homer KELLEY, 1849 Elisha 1828-1913 m. Nancy Caroline KELLEY, 1849 William 1829 (I have more infor here - believe married to Anne HALL) Thomas 1834 (have more stuff here) Barton 1836 (have more stuff here) Daniel 1839 (have more stuff here) Martha 1842-1907 m. William R. KELLEY Elisha Moore (male) appears in Johnson Co Census records as a neighbor to the Webbs. At one point, the Webbs appear to be housing the Moore household, and the mother (Purdy Moore) is gone. Several of the Moore children are found living with Webb families. Would have to check years again, but found it interesting - if anyone connected to this MOORE/MORE family, please post & I'll copy what I have. Francis Webb did not locate to Johnson Co with Mitchell & the younger children, but is buried there. 1850 has Mitchell, Allen, Elisha and the 5 youngest ones in Johnson Co. Francis probably arrived 1860-1862. He had several children and may be the father of Nancy Jane, also explaining why her birthplace is different than the other Webbs in this clan. I'll try to check the Overton, TN census for 1840 to see who her parents may have been. Couldn't find anything on the TN Archives USGenWeb for Overton Co. Elisha Webb had only one wife, Nancy C. KELLEY and they married in 1849. If he were the Elisha you have listed here, he would have been but 12 years old at the time of his marriage. Possible, I suppose, but unlikely. I currently cannot find a Polly Webb anywhere. Do you have any other information on her? Where did you find her? Age? Married? Single? As she may have gone by another name, I may have her somewhere around here, and would be happy to check. Samuel H. Simmons the Civil War vet (same man? or just the same name?) lists his wife's name as "Tennessee". Do you know where they (Samuel & Nancy) married? Or have a certificate for the marriage of Nancy Jane & Samuel? Might help to identify her parents. There is no headstone identified in either the Simmons Cemetery (where Daniel and Samuel are buried) nor in the Webb Cemetery for Nancy Simmons. Sure would like to get these folks straightened out :) If anyone has further information on the WEBBS or the SIMMONS, please post to the list. Interested in everything you may have to offer. I'll try to update my files to reflect all that I have learned here of late to provide more complete information.

My gggreats gparents were JOHNSONS and prob from NJ. They were in WV and OHIO late 1700's where I find them.

Expect them to be related to BRACY, PLUMB & FIELD....betty FIELD b Carrier Mills, Saline Co. betr@accessus.net

The following is a letter in my possession. The letter was to my great Aunt Pearl Huffman daughter of George Harpine Welker Huffman and Mary Ann Jones, of Vienna. If you can connect let me know. Mara Letter from Wyoma W. Riley to Mrs. Pearl (Huffman) Booth Vienna IL Sept. 5, 1962 Dear Mrs. Booth, Thank you so much for taking time to answer my letter. I have been trying to gather much information on all sides of the family. I have Mrs. Chapman's book and also have another book on the Shearer family ordered but don't know what will be proven by it. As you know our library is limited but I do have some Grissom information that might be of interest to you and if you would like you might check the library there and come up with something more on the Grissom side. You might get another line and also help me prove for the DAR. I'd be most happy to have you call next time you are in Vienna nd maybe we could talk all of the families over and find find out lots of things neither of us know. It was my mistake and not Miss Clara's -- as she said you went in on the Clapp side. In case you wonder why I say Miss Clara--- my mother went to school to her when she taught Simpson Springs School and that is what I have always heard and mother still calls her "Miss Clara". Some of our Shearer's settled in MO so your friend there just might be related to you. Hoping to hear from you again yours truely Wyoma W. Riley If you do check your library on the Shearers, Grissoms, Rose or most anyone I'd be happy to know what you find. John Grissom of North Carolina Moved to Tennessee in 1812, came to Illinois in 1818 name of wife not known. She is buried in Grissom Cemetery in Johnson County. He returned to Tennessee and is buried there. James GRISSOM b. Mar, 4, 1804 d. Dec. 24, 1877 Johnson County IL m. Dec 1, 1825 Pope County, Illinois Mary ROSE b. March 4, 1808 d.

Mara, This is a wonderful idea! It will help us reach people that aren't electronic yet, and provide a broader information group. If you want to send me photocopies, I'll help type them up.

Does anyone live in Vienna? It would be great if someone could post the entries in the visitors book. I said awhile back that the Librarian said she put the notebook out so people could find one another. She said so many times one person comes in on the heals of another researching the same name. If I get down there this summer I will copy the book bring it back and post it. Thanks Mara

T.E. McCall is Dr. Thomas Edgar McCall, 1871-1950. He practiced in Vienna as a doctor & surgeon. Married to Lucy May Carter, they relocated to Phoenix, Arizona around 1920. The couple had no children. He was one of the sons of Dr. Robert Marion McCall and his wife, Sophia Josephine Glassford McCall. Several of the McCalls were doctors & dentists in southern Illinois.

Does anyone know anything about the Renfro families listed in the index of Johnson Co. IL for 1860? Also there is a Thomas , William, George W. and John Reed listed in the county at the same time. Is anyone working on them? I am looking for a Thomas Reed who married a Lucy Renfro about 1860. Somewhere in IL Thanks, Verna Reed
