Looking for info on Sarah Ann Sloan or Henry Sloan. Sarah died 1929 and was living in Williamsfield, Knox, ILL in 1928. I do not know when her husband, Henry, died. Any info on this couple will be appreciated. Thank you.....Grace
Thank you Tom. I'm looking for a Susan Hendrickson or a William Hendrickson. Susan met with hard times about 1872 and gave her children away, so thought I better check here as I can't find her anyplace else. I Appreciate you checking for me. Thank you......Grace

Thank you......Grace Grace: If this happened about 1872, it is very likely that they would not be there in 1900. Perhaps you could find the 1880 Census returns for Knoxville and see if they appear in there. There are no HENDRICKSONs in the 1900 Census. However, in the list of those buried in the potters' field there, we find an entry which reads: HENDRICKSON, Oloff died Oct. 27, 1888, at the age of 67 Sorry we couldn't be of more help. Tom Lundeen

The book you are refering to is: KNOXVILLE THROUGH FIVE GENERATIONS published for the sesquicentennial in 1981. Four ladies put it together. Two of them are still living in Knoxville. You might get in touch with them. Rosalie (Mrs. Joe) Burgess and Sally (Mrs. Jim) Hutchcroft. Sorry, I don't know their street addresses or telephone numbers. I have a copy of the book and will gladly send you a copy of any pages that you might want.
