My records show that a church by this name was organized in Chestnut township, near Hermon (not far from Knoxville), in 1853. The sources of information I have on this church contain conflicting information, and do not contain much information. I know for sure that Cyrus Humphrey and his son Squire Humphrey were ministers here, also Andrew J. Goforth, and some of the Eggers family were members. I have several names of people who were members of this church in a database. If anyone can provide information about this church, or knows of its records, or a photo of its building, I would be glad to hear from you.

Lynn, Rebecca Smith Wisenburg Alford's parents were Conrad (or Coonrad) Smith b. 1779 location unkown, married in 1803 location also unknown and died 1863 in Knox County, Illinois and Barbery Naus/Knaus b. 1782 married 1803 died 1852 in Knox County, Illinois. They are buried in Etherly Cemetery, Victoria Township, Knox County, Illinois. This cemetery is aka the Smith Cemetery. The family Conrad, Barbery and their 13 children plus a couple of spouses and grandchildren left York County, PA in 1834/5 and went to Ohio where they spent 2 years. In 1837, the entire family arrived in Victoria Township, Knox county where Conrad purchased 160 acres of farmland. The family settled and remained there. I hope this helps in some way.

Hello, This is not a direct reply to your posting but may be of interest. I have a note that says Rachel Hull, daughter of Edward Byram Jr, died in Abingdon, IL, Feb 21, 1897. The reference is "Abby Byram and Her Father, The Indian Captives", John McElroy, Ottumwa, IA, 1898. Good luck. --Jack Trauth

Posted on: Knox Co. Il Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/Knox/898 Surname: Johnston ------------------------- My ggm Mary Jane Johnston's marriage in Knox Co in 1845 to Ferdinand Hull is apparently documented in the Johnston Family Bible, which is copied in the Hull Family Assn 1990 Archives, of which I have requested a copy. And I have a copy of the Johnston-Hull marriage certificate from Knox County. Same family?

Thank you, Joan, for the information on Andrew Cochran and Josiah Cochran. I think the Andrew you gave the biography for must have been the brother of my Josiah C and the uncle of my Andrew Wesley Cochrun. The information in the biographies begins to tie in with an apparent ancestor of mine, Josiah Cochrun who died in Allen County Ohio prior to 1850 and may have been part of the same family. B.

Il Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/Knox/897 Surname: McKenzie, Wilson ------------------------- In the 1900 Census, Mattie McKenzie-Wilson,b. July 1870, head of household Charles E. Wilson, b. July 1866 with their son, Harry E. Wilson, born May 1872, were living in Galesburg, Knox County, Illinois. They had been married for 9 years. I believe they later divorced. I would be grateful if anyone could check the 1910 & 1920 Knox County Census for me, or provide me any information at all on this family. I thank you in advance for any effort put forth in my behalf.

I am delighted to have your response to my query about Josiah C. Cochrun. Most of what you tell me is new information for me, although the migration from KY to OH matches the information I have as does the time frame for the land patent. I show his spouse as Julia (possibly short for Juliann) Demorist, both picked up from a writing of my grandfather, Selden Josiah Cochrun, who was in turn the gandson of Josiah C. Cochrun. I am dying to have more information on the family. I am descended from Josiah C. Cochrun's son, Andrew Wesley Cochrun who lived much of his adult life in Abingdon, Knox County, IL. There may have been another Josiah C. Cochrun/Cochran other than the father of Andrew Wesley Cochrun; if so, I would suppose a common ancestor. Who is our common ancestor? Do you have the migration to Knox County, IL in your information? How can we exchange additonal information? I am B.

Bob, When I get back next week, I can probably do some typing then, let me know what is missing. I have the 1878 and the 1886 books here.
