Surnames: Eckley, Hurr Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/4g.2ADE/1731 Message Board Post: I have seen a couple of pages that came out of a book that I am hoping to find. The book mentions Mary Melissa Eckley, daughter of John & Abigail (Henderson) Eckley. Mary married Isaac Edward Hurr 19 March 1868 in Oneida, Illinois. It lists all their children and many other relatives. If anyone knows where I can find this book, please let me know. Thanks. Ann Maxted

(1)I expect you've tried this, but have you searched in Warren County and Fulton County? Especially since St. Augustine is niched into the corner/border of Knox County? Since most babies were born at home, the listing of St. Augustine could have just been the nearest post office address. (2)I did see the following family in Adams Co. IL in 1880 (further south and west of Knox. And so many people moved a lot. In 1880, it would have been 20-21 years later than Charles' birth, and family could have moved after his birth.) The parents, John and Martha, were born in Ireland in this family below, however. Do you know what nationality YOUR Hunters were? I'm just thinking that sometimes the census is incorrect in birthplaces (or your other source maybe?). The first child in this family, Andrew, was born in Pennsylvania, and so the family could have come from there to Illinois, and data could have somehow been written somewhere that the parents were born in PA, when they were indeed born in Ireland. Hunter is a common name, so I sure can see how it is difficult to search for your OWN Hunters. I have Hall, Davis, Barnes......and there are thousands of them to sort through! Do you know the names of any siblings of your Charles? Perhaps someone else on the Knox board knows of various nicknames for Martha or Henrietta. Is there any cross-over? I am mentioning a lot of undocumented possibilities here I realize, but that's part of the challenge and intrigue of genealogy.....and sometimes leads to a new "find".

There were 22 HUNTER in the 1860 census in Knox Co and none from PA.

There is not a record of marriage between Jerusha Carpenter and any Blakeslee that I can find. She died June 21, 1859.

Chris Our state library provides Heritage Quest as a service free to patrons of our state. We each may have a State Library Card with an assigned number and password. With that we can access Heritage Quest as well as a number of other research tools (not all genealogy related). I don't know that all states provide this service, but I understand many do so. Your local librarian should be able to tell you if your state provides this great help! Good luck to you g2

I live 35 miles from downtown Houston and outside the county line. As a resident of Texas I am able to get a free Houston "Power Card" and access their resource files which include Heritage Quest. For a small fee, I believe, anyone can also get a Power Card, but not sure.

Try going to the local Family History Center at the Morman Church, they have Heritage Quest fliers at the one here in Sonora California which has the user name and password on it all free of charge from your home computer. My friend also got the same information from our local city library.

Thanks sooo much for everyone's help!!! I know my local library doesn't, but I will check the Tazwell county one. If the fee is smaller, it would be worth it!!

My Houston Public Library Card here in Houston, TX allows me access to all the TexSearch Databases, and among them is HeritageQuest Online. All I do is input my last name and HPL card #, and I get all HeritageQuest info for free. Have you checked your local library to see if they are a HeritageQuest subscriber? If so, and they have computers in their reading room, have one of the librarians show you how to use it, then ask them if you can do it from home as well.

I pay $35 a year to the Godfrey Library which gives me access to Heritage Quest, other newspapers and other online data bases. This has worked very well. The Tazewll Genealogy society has a similar deal except you can't use the 1900 census index which I find is a problem. If you type in Godfrey Library into your search engine this should come up.

Check your Historical society, Tazewell county as a subscription to Heritage Quest. If you join and pay extra you can access Heritage Quest from your home computer. It was well worth the money. As for the librarys you have to check to see which ones have subscriptions.

I live and pay taxes in St. Louis County, Missouri and have a Library card. With all this, am able to access their web site and then to Heritage Quest. All I have to do when I get into their site is logon with my name and card #. I pay for a subscription to Ancestry.com census and use both. BTW I do prefer HQ.
