Subj: Axleys in Johnson Co. Date: 97-09-07 19:51:27 EDT From: MRick626 To: MBruce9681 I saw your posting from May. I have a S.W. Axley b. ?/ d. Nov. 16, 1896. Married Feb 13, 1887 in Johnson County, IL to Jardiney Calhaun (known as Florence) S.W. is buried at West Eden Cemetary in Johnson County along with their infant son, George. W. b. Apr. 5, 1888, d. July 31, 1888. They also had Auty b. June 12, 1893. Auty and Jardiney moved to MO. in ?? Auty met a tragic death in St. Louis in may 1924. Do these names mean anything to you? I'm interested in Jardiney; she was a half sister to William Calvin Watson and Lively Rachael Lemmon. Their mother's name was Elizabeth and she went by Betsy Faught in 1895. Would you check your "A History of JohnsonCounty, IL: for possible reference. Do you live near Johnson County? I know William left IL. around 1900/1901 and went to MO. and Jardiney was there until around 1914. I would love to get some back ground on their mother. This is been a dead end for me for a long time. I would appreciate any help you could give. I heard once that there was a connection between the Watsons and Grays. Do you know anything on that. Thanks Marie Emrich
