Looking for Sarah Hoxworth born about 1830 in Knox county, married Martin Dennison in Jan 1852. They moved to Iowa sometime after that as my GG Grandfather was born there in 1858. I have nothing at all on Sarah or her family so would appreciate anything on that side of the family. Thanks, Rick

I contacted that lady, Florence Banks, who posted it on Find A Grave. She said she was no relation but rather got the information from a death record book she had. This is what I have for Albert again. Pretty close if your theory is right. Wish I could get a photo of the headstone from someone and that mostly likely clear this mystery up. Albert G. Jewett b.

I bet there is some error in the reading of the gravestone. Even the middle initial is correct. The 1860 census shows no Albert Jewett who would have been born that early, anywhere in the US. the only Jewett's in Knox Co in 1860 where: your Albert E.S. Jewett in Galesburg b. 1836 in Michigan George Jewett b. 1825 in New york Odds are that tombstone is one of the old limestone variety that fades horribly over time and is difficult to read now. . And the odds that another Albert G. Jewett was in Knoxville in that era are pretty slim.

Hi, Does anyone know who or what organization was responsible for the memorial stone marker at the Robertson Cemetery near Rio, which honors the Old School Baptist church, and the first white child born in Knox county? It is a gorgeous stone, and appears to be fairly new; and the engraved drawing of the church caught my attention. I would like to talk to the person who was directly involved in having the stone made. Thank you for your help, Robert ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the Internet in years - Juno SpeedBand! Surf the Web up to FIVE TIMES FASTER!

Dear Jean, According to the 1880 census your Jane was born abt 1822 in VA, correct? Don't dismiss the surname Grass in your quest because of that marriage record spelled Gray. There were 2 Grass marriages in Knox Co in the 1840's. There is also a Jacob Grass in Knox Co in 1850. He is 71 born in VA, his wife is named Jane, she is 66 born in VA. Two other Grass households from VA, Peter, 22 & James, 25. Putting these two young men in the same age span as your Jane, all possibly children of Jacob. All 3 households are living beside each other. There are some other Grass's who came from NY. The style of cursive handwriting used in that era had a commonly used way of writing the letters "ss" in lower case. It ends up looking more like "ff" or sometimes "fs" which can look also very much like a "y" given the writer's style. The 1850 census indexes Jacob as Grass but when you look at the actual image you will very easily mistake it for Gray. That is possibly why your marriage for Jane to Tillman Kemper is listed as Gray on the Illinois index. Email me direct and I will send you an email copy of that census image and you will quickly see what I mean. I would try to get a copy of the marriage license from Knox Co or the Illinois archives so you can take a good look at it. A marriage license from 1837 will probably just look like a receipt from a ledger book but as long as you can read the handwriting it may solve your dilemma. here is a link to the will list in Knox Co that shows Jacob, Jane & Peter Grass who all died in the 1850's. Perhaps Jane or Jacob's will may be of some help. http://www.iltrails.org/knox/Wills/WillsE-I.html Patti ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, June 04, 2004 6:00 AM Subject: [ILKNOX-L] kEMPER/CRESS/GRASS I am searching for info re: the Tilman KEMPER/Jane Ann CRESS marriage - which may be the union registered on the Illinois State Marriage Index as Tindale KEMPER and Jane Ann GRAY, Knox County, 4-14-1837.
