Hi Brad what is this regarding rules for sharing? I have done the alot of sharing on this list. Is there something you feel I am doing wrong? I have most all the names I have shared in my file. I think its up to us on our particular family lines to document them. I however have found clues even in wrong information. Take Mrs. P. T. Chapman's book A History of Johnson County Illinois. She has numerous errors in genealogy however, her inforamtion been a place to begin. Anyone who takes information face value deserves what they get. I hope that everyone gets involved and shares whatever they have in hopes that we all may find the truth. Anyway--no hard feelings--just my two cents.

I have old copies of the Vienna Times on Microfilm from Sept.19,1889 through Oct.18,1894. I can look up any thing if you provide a date and name. Greg Simmons

Am I missing something with this list - just WHAT is this I'm seeing - and better yet - WHY????? Jane

HI EVERYONE, HERE'S HOPING THAT ANY EXISTING RULES AND GUIDELINES CONCERNING QUERIES AND PUBLISHED JOHNSON COUNTY INFORMATION SENT TO THE JOHNSON COUNTY ROOTS WEB, MAY BE RESTRICTED TO OUR OWN INDIVIDUAL ANCESTRAL FAMILIES WHOM WE ARE ACQUAINTED WITH, OR WHOM WE HAVE STUDIED AND/OR RESEARCHED AND DOCUMENTED; OR THAT QUERIES AND PUBLISHED JOHNSON COUNTY INFORMATION BE SUBMITTED CONCERNING OUR ANCESTRAL FAMILIES' NEIGHBORS AND/OR FRIENDS, OF WHOM WE HAVE THOROUGHLY RESEARCHED AND DOCUMENTED. I'M SURE NOBODY WOULD WANT SOMEONE ELSE TELLING OTHERS THAT YOUR GRANDMOTHER'S NAME IS "EVA", WHEN YOU PERSONALLY KNEW YOUR OWN GRANDMOTHER , AND YOU KNOW HER NAME IS 'EMMA", FOR EXAMPLE. THIS PROCEDURE WILL CUT DOWN ON COSTLY REPEATED RESEARCH ERRORS, AND WILL PROMOTE MORE ACCURACY, AND GREATER HONOR AND REMEMBRANCE, IN THE LONG RUN, FOR OUR JOHNSON COUNTY ANCESTORS FOR WHOM I HOPE WE ARE DOING THIS RESEARCH FOR. SINCERELY, BRAD BIRKNER

Everyone please forgive all my typos....its so embarressing the number of words I misspell because of typos. I need to get better at proof reading before I send something <G>. I am not sure where the M. E. Church is but I know that there is a publication with its records for sale I think from the Johnson County Genealogical and Historical Society. Cindy, do we have anyone who lives in Vienna or within Johnson Co. on the list yet--that you know of? I know you can send mail the the Genealogical and Historical Society but does any of their people subscribe to our list? Thanks Mara

Hi Everyone I had a couple of hours to waste while my son was in preschool so I went over the the Blooming public Library. They had a copy of Illinois Magizine Jan 1975. Its cover Article was for Johnson Co. IL. I didn't have much change on me. So I could only copy two pages of many though most was written like the beginning of Mrs. P. T. Chapman's book, telling about the agriculture, geography etc. I missed two names on the previous page. I will get them later. pg. 41 LEVI CASEY. Born in Ireland, Levi Casey migrated to Southern Illinois about 1808, settleing in the central part of the county near a spring which now bears his name. He was the brother of Zadoc Casey of Mt. Vernon, an early L. Governor in the State. Casey's son, Levi B. was a captain in John A. Logan's regiment. He was killed in the siege of Vicksburg in 1863. His monument in Graves Cemetery is inscribed, "Capt. Levi B. asey of Co. D. 31 Reg. Ill. Vol., Died June 29, 1863 of a wound received while acting Major and gallantly leading his command at the battle of Vicksburg, Mississippi, age 37 years, 5 months, 14 days." DANIEL CHAPMAN. Daniel Chapman was born in Westchester County, New York, in 1756, of English ancestry. He and his family settled near Pond in 1818.

He remained county clerk until 1830. JOHN GORE. Born in Geroge, John Goer arrived in Johnson County about 1809, apparently in the vicinity of west Vienna. He served as petit juror at Elvira in 1816. The Village of Goresville takes its name from the Gore family. Hon. A. J. KUYKENDALL. A. J. Kuykendall was born in Hardin County, Illinois, in 1815 while his family was enroute from Kentucky to Johnson County. The family settled near Sanburn, but with educational opportunities slim, A. J. wa able to obtain only three months of formal schooling. Nonetheless, through self-study he gained sufficient knowledge to be admitted to the bar. From there he was elected to serve first in the state House of Representatives and the in the State Senate. The Civial War interrupted his political career, and he returned to Johnson jCounty to assist in organizing the 31st Illinois Volunteer Infantry Regiment, with John A.

Simpson is buried in the old, heavily overgrown double Bridge Cemetery. The village of Simpson is named for his descendants. HEZEKIAH WEST. Perhaps Johnson County's most influential pioneer, Hezekiah West, came to Illinois from Maryland in 1809 or 1810 at hte age of 46 or 47.

Notice that Moulton marries Sarah. Hope this helps you. You may have it already. I have information on some of these collateral lines as I am from the SIMPSON line. Mara A HISTORY OF JOHNSON COUNTY ILLINOIS by Mrs. P. T. Chapman WEST pg. 458 Governor Reynolds, in his history says of the West family that "they are English and came with Calvert, Lord Baltimore, to Maryland 1632". He was referring to the West�s of Madison County, Ill. Hezekiah West, no doubt belonged to this same family. He stated he was born in Fredrick County, Md., in 1763 and was the only son of John West. When Hezekiah was seven or eight years old his father, with his family moved to Sandy River, Camden district, S. C. His father, John West, enlisted in the patriot army in 1777, in Captain Winn�s company of mounted rangers, Colonel Thompson�s regiment; served fourteen months and was killed in an engagement at St. Tibbs. Hezekiah enlisted in the same cause for freedom at the age of seventeen. His record is found under "Revolutionary Soldiers". The family tradition is that Hezekiah West came to this county in 1809 or 10; his name appears on the county records in 1813. He was a man of education and served the county as a teacher and in other capacities. He was undoubtedly a pioneer of the right sort, influential, useful, religious and of the highest moral character. He died in Johnson county July 29, 1845. A walking cane owned and used by him, can be seen in the Carnegie Library, Vienna, Ill., placed there by the Daniel Chapman Chapter D. A. R.

Alexander The County Court determined that the petition was presented according to law ans ordered that an election be held on January 5, 1905 for the prupose of presenting the proposition to the electors in the territory described in the petition. The election was to be held at the regular polling place in the town of Cypress. Ballots wer einscibed: "For Village Oragaization Under the General Law." Judges of the election were appointed: W. D. Fleming, J. R. McKee, and G. W. Willis. Results of the election were returned to the Court on february 6, 1905. Those results were: for Village President W. G. Taylor, 39 votes and W. J. Hartman, 1 vote. Police Magistrate W. D. Fleming, 40 votes with no opposition. Village Clerk W. A. Adams, 39 votes with no opposition. Members of the village board of trustees (six being elected)-A. L. Thompson, 39 votes; F. M. Ludwig, 40 votes; R. C. Lyon, 40 votes: F. F. Capron, 40 votes; Ellis Mowery, 1 vote and John Mowery, 1 vote. Concening the number of voters: in 1905, only males 21 and older were allowed to vote. Considering that 318 persons resided in Cypress at the time, the average family would have been six in number. There were, there fore approximately 50-60 families living in the town at the time of the election. Those signing the petition and those noted inthe election probably represented every household in Cypress at the time.

Peggy Walker--Illinois PEARCE-COOK-HUNSAKER-JONES Thelma L. Lunsford--Illinois LEWIS-BAYES Seeking information on the families of Reuben LEWIS (aka; Kilabrew LEWIS) born in Wales, who married Sarah BAYES in October 1849 Union County, IL, Sarah BAYES was born in 1802 in SC(?). Reuben Kilabrew LEWIS was born in Wales. Have found documents listing him as Kilabrew. His LEWIS clan moved from Wales to the Isle of Man due to a clan dispute. He was educated in Holland and worked for the Dutch Indies Trading Company. He jumped ship in New York to enter the US. He stayed in NY for a while with some of his family. He next showes up in Southern Illinois. The only records found to show he was alive are listings of his married to Sarah BAYES in 1849 and his purchase of land in Franklin Co. IL 1853. Kilabrew and Sarah had a son, James Madison LEWIS in July 1852 in Union Co. IL. Kilabrew worked as a farmer in Vienna, IL and for the railroad as a surveyor. It is known that he was contracted to help build the IC Railroad from Cairo to Carbondale. Three days after he was paid for his work on this job, he disappeared. His horse was found. About 10 years later a store keeper from Vienna, who knew him, says that he saw a man in San Diego who looked like Kilabrew inviting him to California. Sara Bayes/Bays was listed on the marriage record and in 1850 Census of Union Co. IL. She was noted as being 48 years old with three males (David, Francis, James) living with her. It has been stated by an older relative that Sarah lived with James for a long time after Kilabrew left, then married a professor at the university (SIU) late in life. Reuben Kilabrew and Sarah's son James had a farm near Alto Pass IL on Cedar Creek sometime around the Depression. James and his wife, Nancy, moved to Granite City and are both buried in St. John's Cemetery there. Nancy Ann (HARRIS) Lewis was born in Jackson Co. IL on 1 August 1858/59.

October 1995 Joan Rose of Bloomington IN sent the following: I am a descendant of Joshua GORE, the progenitor of the Johnson and Union counties, IL GORE clan. Some of the informaiton in Chapman's History of Johnson County has some mistakes, I believe. Joshua GORE was born circa 1745 in Maryland and lived in South CArolina from about 1770 till about 1804 when he began, with his second wife, Frances OSBORN, his migration to Johnson County, IL through Tennessee and Kentucky. He was listed on the Johnson Co. 1818 and 1820 Census and his will from November 1820 is recorded in the Johnson County records. He furnished supplies to the Revolutionary Army in Chester County, SC. He had 8 children by his first wife Jane McCALPIN/McCOLPIN: Elizabeth (Gore) PETERSON/DEANS; Joshua GORE, a junior (moved to Washington Co.); and Daniel M. GORE of Union Co.; 4 children by his second wife Martha (GORE) PATTERSON; James O. GORE (died Union Co. 1835); William GORE; and Mary/ Polly (GORE) GOODNER. The administratior fo Joshua GORE's will was his son, my ancestor, John W. GORE (b. ca 1770) in SC, married Eleanor SEELY ca. 1790 probably in Chester Co. SC; and his wife, Eleanor GORE. John W. and Eleanor (SEELY) GORE's daughter, Sarah W. GORE (b. October 1795 in SC) married Richard ELKINS (b. Aug 1797 in Georgia) son of John Whitney and ELizabeth (STILES) ELKINS about 1819, probably in Johnson County. They both died in Johnson County-Richard was intestate and his wife administered his estate in 1851, Johnson County records; Sarah W. (Gore) ELKINS died Dec 1857. I have been informed by letter that both Richard and Eleanor (Gore) ELKINS are buried in "Gore Cemetery" and was sent tombstone data. I would very much like to find their graves and verify their dates, etc. Supposedly this cemetery was an old Tommy GORE property, northwest of Vienna. Can anyone advise me about this? All of Richard ELKINS' children were listed in his estate settlement, including my own ancestress--Eleanor (ELKINS) FRANCIS (born about 1827 in Johnson Co.) who married Lewis D. FRANCIS (b. 1812 Southampton Co. VA) in Johnson Co. in 1853 per marriage records. Unfortunately, Eleanor (Elkins) FRANCIS died by 1870 and her widower moved to Sharp Co., Ark. where he was listed on 1870 Census with their son, John G. FRANCIS (b. about 1854 Jonson Co.). John H. FRANCIS; eldest daughter, Sarah Ann FRANCIS, was my grandmother. I would like to contact descendants, researchers, etc. of any of these lines or related lives. I know it encompasses a lot of Johnson County family histories that I've seen published so far. Joan Rose, 800 N. Smith Rd., #24 Z, Bloomington IN 47408.

October 1995 STEWART James W. STEWART (two people or the same person?) Seeking information on James W. Stewart. I have two in my family records that appear to be from about the same time period and am trying to determine if I have two different people or it is one person. My first is James W. STEWART who married Kisiah "Kizzie" ELKINS on 9 Aug. 1866 in Johnson County, Illinois. Kizzie was the daughter of John (known as "Big John") D. ELKINS and Mary Catherine (SIMPSON) Elkins. My second is the Reverend JAmes Wiley Stewart (wife's name unknown) whose daughter was Mary Hill Stewart. Mary married William Wilkinson GREGORY on 13 Dec 1860 (do not know where they were married). This was the the third marriage for William Wilkinson GREGORY. The Gregory family is from Virginia. Any information will be greatly appreciated. David P. Thacker, 1806 McKee St., #A8, San Diego CA 92110

Thought I would share this with the list. Cindy

Echoes From Elvira Jan/Feb 1995 By: Shirley Wolfe, Museum Curator QUILTS The first time I met with the JCGHS in the Paul Powell house, Rosemary Orr asked it I had seen the "stuff" in the basement. No, I hadn't, so Rosemary escorted me down-stairs. One of the first things I saw was a (obviously very old) crazy quilt, made of what appeared to be silk, and perhaps wool, random shaped peices embroidered with names and set together with "briar--stitch". "How lovely that is!", I thought. An understated thought. It was folded and lying on an old stool. The names on the topmost block read: "Joshua Renfro, Clara Renfro, Lyston Renfro, in memory of Lennie Renfro." I said aloud, "What is my husband's Aunt Clara's name doing on an old quilt?" When I lefted another fold, I read, "Rev. George A. Dunn, Lizzie Dunn, James Wendell Dunn, Maunie, IL." "Good grief! Those are my grandparents names! And my uncle!" "Oh my, what is this!" Later, with permission, I speread it on the floor and photographed it. Then when I was appointed "curator", I brought it home to see how it could be both preserved and displayed. Meantime, I spent much time on the phone and visitng various elderly people trying to find out who had made it and when. However, when I spread it out on my living room carpet, and actually started wrting down the names embroidered on it, I discovered the answer to both questions. On a faded white silk piece was embroidered in faded yellow, "Made by the Ladies Aid Society of Central M. E. Church, 1909." I tacked it at the junctures of the pieces to a large piece of heavy cotton muslin wiht a rod pocket at the top and it now hangs on the wall in the basement of the Paul Powell house, our present museum quarters, where visitors can see it, but not touch. It is covered with clear protective mylar plastic. If you're in the vicinity, drop in. We have two other old, old quilts for you to see. Another beautiful one, of wool patches, is embroidered with the maker's families names with appliqued flowers and designs and was made by Miss Blanche Poor, granddaughter of S. D. Poor. (His book about early Johnson County Life is one of our Society's books for sale). The other is probably the oldest...made of heavy wool and, possibly, linsey-woolsey squares...probably from old coats, skirts, and trousers. We have not yet found the origin of this one... At another date, I will tell you more about "our" museum...some of the artifacts therein, and our plans, we hope, for a bigger and better one. Names embroidered on the old Central M. E.
