I have six children total for Henry and Margarett. Two of which might be the same child, just a different name used. I don't have a Lena, but I do have a Gina and a Laura. Susan

I will reply tomorrow evening with the census info where I found the family which states the mother had 7 children, 4 then living. I have to close for now. Thanks and talk with you tomorrow.

Henry Leverett, son of David. Married Margaret Lauderdale. Lauderdale is my main line. Susan

Biographical Review of Johnson, Pope, Massac, Hardin and Saline Counties DAVID LEVERETT is a well-to-do farmer of township 12, range 6, his homestead being located on section 8. He was born June 2, 1834, being a son of Martin and Elizabeth (Cockrachn) Leverett. The father was born in North Carolina, and emigrated to Illinois at an early day, the journey being made in wagons, and occupying two months. They camped at night and took their meals on the way, crossing the Ohio River at Barker's Ferry. He entered land in Pope County, there commenced farming, and reared his family. For a great many years he was ranked among the enterprising agriculturists of this region, and when he was called from this life in 1865 his loss was deeply felt by his many friends. His wife did not long survive him, joining her husband and companion in 1871. Until nineteen years of age David Leverett passed his time on his father's farm, attending the common schools of the district. He rented land in this and Saline Counties, but had not long continued in agricultural pursuits when the shadows of the coming war began to gather darkly on the horizon. On September 25, 1861, he enlisted in Company K, Illinois Light Artillery, at Shawneetown, and was in active service during the entire war, receiving an honorable discharge at Chicago July 16, 1865. Returning to this neighborhood, he purchased a tract of one hundred and twenty acres in Pope County, where he lived for three years, and then having a chance to dispose of the place at a good advantage he did so, and removed to Missouri, where he only remained a short time. Returning to Illinois, he resided for two years in Johnson County, the following eight years being spent in Saline County. In this county in the year 1885 he became the owner of one hundred and twenty acres of land, to the cultivation of which he devoted himself for about four years, when he sold the place and purchased the one where he now resides, which comprises seventy-four acres on section 8. He is engaged in general farming, and is very successful and prosperous in his business enterprises and undertakings. On the 15th of September, 1852, Mr. Leverett and Nancy G. Williams were united in marriage. She was called from this life in May, 1862, and on April 10, 1863, he was married to Elizabeth Gulliams. She was called to the home beyond some years later, leaving two children. November 29, 1874, Mr. Leverett and Emily J. Trigg were married. Mrs. Leverett was born in Tennessee August 23, 1835, her parents being native Virginians. Our subject has seven living children: William D., Rebecca, Henry, Nancy Ann,Priscilla, Sherman and Otto. Mr. and Mrs. Leverett are members of the Baptist Church, and for a number of years the former has been a School Director. He always votes the straight Republican ticket, and is a respected citizen in this locality.

I was wondering if you might have the names and dates of their three children that died before 1900? Did Lena marry?

Betty, I am also interested in Emily Trigg Toler Leverett. I tried to find Emily in the 1850 Johnson Co., IL census since I have that she married Barnabas Toler in 1849, but I could not find the family. I was trying to find who her parents are and would be interested in her children from each of her marriages.

Tim, Are you familiar with the marriage of Thomas F. Toler and Nancy C. Leverett on 5 Feb 1885? I believe Thomas F. is the son of John S. Toler and Emily Trigg Toler. Is it correct that John S. Toler and Emily Trigg Toler were married on 27 Mar 1863 in Johnson Co., IL?

Little Egypt Heritage Articles Stories of Southern Illinois © Bill Oliver 9 April 2006 Vol 5 Issue: #14 ISBN: pending Osiyo, Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen of Little Egypt, Life can be like a poem: The sun was warm but the wind was chill. You know how it is with an April day. When the sun is out and the wind is still, You're one month on in the middle of May. But if you so much as dare to speak, a cloud come over the sunlit arch, And wind comes off a frozen peak, And you're two months back in the middle of March. - Robert Frost As I rub my knee replacements to loosen the joints and put my teeth in my mouth, I hear Dad at age eighty-eight saying, “Growing older isn’t for wimps”. As I pop my blood pressure medications and swallow my cholesterol pills, I hear Grandma Oliver at one hundred and two saying, “Growing older isn’t for sissies”. Then there is the special vitamins that slow down macular degeneration, so you know you're getting old when you think that when you were a kid you could toast marshmallows over my birthday candles; now I can roast a turkey! Sure things are different today. When I was a boy and I was sick, the doctor came to my house to treat me. Today when I’m sick I call the doctor and make an appointment. If I’m really, really sick I call 911. Today we have doctors that will treat our eyes, or our nose, or our ears, or out throat. There are doctors who treat our lungs. We have doctors for our allergies. Some doctors only look at our feet. Then, of course there are the proctologists. When I was a tad of a lad, my family doctor did all that. Also, when in conversations with people my own age the talk often turns into "dueling ailments." As we age, prices get higher, politicians get worse, and Oliver William Stone gets weirder. And, some of us “push the envelope” by putting “the hip into hip replacement”. Old age isn’t for wimps; however, being feisty is. Growing older we lose our footing and go flat on our derriere. We suddenly realize that there is not near the padding as we remember. We ask, “What did we do before there was Advil?” Then we remember something else; when we were younger we didn’t need so much padding! There are distinct advantages of being older – in a hostage situation you are likely to be released first. Aunt Marie, one of Dad’s sisters, was a marvel in her middle nineties. Legally blind for decades she continued to make us all laugh ourselves and played her organ to the very end. Great Aunt Nell and her sister, Myrtle, were of the Ames Clan. They pushed past nine decades of life also, and their many sisters rose daily as feisty and lively as Leprechauns. This older generation which set the tone of life for me knew that from the day that they were born they were edging toward dying and they made the very most of every day of life. So as I look back at them I am struck by the realization of how much my life has been defined by my past. When I meet someone new, the conversation inevitably turns to the past as an attempt to define ourselves. Then I suddenly realize that I’ve lived long enough for my experience to develop some excellent stories and reflections. What a grand thing it is that I cannot foresee the future. One the one hand, I wouldn’t be able to live in the present for wanting to hurry some things toward the future. And, on the other side of the coin, I wouldn’t be able to face the current day for knowing the horrible pain that awaits in the future. Some folks can’t enjoy life, but the Ames Clan did. Grandma Oliver in her mid-nineties demanded salt on her food while in the hospital. When the nurses wouldn’t give it to her, she said, “I’ve lived this long putting plenty of salt on my food!” [She got her salt!] Somewhere back in my experience I remember studying an Oriental Philosophy which stated five facts to be reflected on. That one is subject to aging; one is subject to illness; one is subject to death; that one will grow different, separate from all that is dear and appealing to them; and, one is the owner of their actions, heir to their actions, born of their actions, related through their actions, and have their actions as their arbitrator, for whatever they do, for good or for evil, to that will they fall heir.' While there's nothing I can do to prevent getting older, I can, though, put off feeling older for a while longer, full well knowing that the only thing worse than getting old is The Alternative. e-la-Di-e-das-Di ha-wi nv-wa-do-hi-ya nv-wa-to-hi-ya-da.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: BARKER SMITH WEBB SPENCE Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/2g.2ADE/1061 Message Board Post: Looking for BARKER family info... Nancy E. Smith or Webb ( her mother re-married a Webb ) mothered a child, James Clinton Barker, in 1861 in Illinois. Nancy was later known as NANCY BARKER SPENCE which leads me to believe that she married a BARKER. The 1860 Census has Nancy's family residing in Johnson Co., Illinois. James Webb (head of household), Courtney (wife), Nancy (listed as daughter), and other children. I have found a Thomas BARKER and Nancy E. SMITH md in 1866 in Union Co. I wanted to see if this information would ring a bell with anyone. Thanx.

How do you relate to Emily Jane Toler , I know alot about her family. I am a Toler descendant. I may have a photo of her.

Hello Louise: Thomas B. Chapman and Mary D. Anderson lived in Goreville or Tunnel Hill for several years after they were married. Several of their children were born in that area. I am guessing they moved to Texas around 1896. They were in Ellis County for the 1900 census. They had all the kids with them at that time except the triplets that died at birth. Thomas B. died in 1902. The next time I find my Grandmother she is in Paducah, Kentucky. She lived there till she died in 1920. One of my contacts in Paducah has been wonderful about trying to find information about the Mount Olive Cemetery. He has talked to the person that is in charge. The Church is not in use any more, and they don’t think there is any record of who is in there. I had just hoped you had run across some thing no one else had. My G-G-Grandmother is Susan Jane Damron. I have some information on them but not much. I understand there is a book out on the Damrons but not sure it is still in print. I just felt it would be easier since I am a Chapman it would be easy to locate that information first. Not so!!!!!! Thanks again Louise. I will keep trying. I just feel certain George Washington Chapman and Thomas B. Chapman are in that Cemetery.

Hello hhwsw: I am looking for my grandfathers' grave. He died in 1902 in Johnson County. I really believe he was buried in Mount Olive/Graves cemetery. His name is Thomas B. Chapman. He did not have a stone. Thank you for any help you can give. Earline hhwsw@accessus.net wrote: This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.
