    2. James Slankard
    3. Does anyone on the list connect to the Lundy family of Johnson & Massac Counties? Benjamin Franklin Lundy was born c1827 in KY/TN. He married Martha Sheldon Cheek born c1825 in TN on 5 July 1853 in Johnson County. She had previously been married to a Cheek. Benjamin's father was Ralph Lundy from Canada. Benjamin is buried in the Holt Cemetery. Their children: 1. Missouri Anna born 16 Jan 1852? in Massac County. She married William Thomas Johnson c1871. 2. Mary 3. Louisa born c1858 married Charles Wright on 10 Oct 1873. 4. Margaret born c1859. 5. Julia Miller born 26 Aug 1861 in Massac County died 15 July 1940 in Grantsburg. She married Thomas Robert Burris on 6 Sep 1879. 6 & 7. unknown males I believe it possible that the two sons & Missouri Anna were children from a first marriage. It is also believed that Benjamin Franklin Lundy may have married a Oma Bridges in the late 1880's and had a daughter Emma that moved to Indiana. He marriage record states her birth place as Vienna, IL. There are more Lundy's buried in the County Line Cemetery that may be children or grandchildren of Benjamin. Names that appear in records that may be related to Benjamin are Lillie May Evans & Mrs. J.W. McCorkle. Any help on the Lundy, Cheek, Bridges, Wright, Johnson, Burris, Evans or McCorkle lines would greatly be appreciated. This is one of those "brick wall" lines. Thanks James
