My search continues in Galesburg for info on my great grandmother and her family. The great grand kids of HENRY MURPHY are FERRIS'. There may still be some in Galesburg. They may be DREW, MARY, JOANN and KAREN Ferris. First off, do these names ring any bells? Second is there some way I can contact them or they can contact me? Any help appreciated. Slainte, Tim Morrissey in Asheville NC --

If I get anything I'll post it and you should see it. Ms. Murphy was the niece of my g-grandmother, whose birth, life and death are are somewhat documented, but more of a mystery.

O B was Orson Bartlett Judson. I recently foud a news article on another site about a fire that damaged the shop part in 1887 on another Knox county site. I have bits & pieces I am trying to put info together while it is still out there for my sons.

The address was # 15 & 16 Research is a little hard as I am in VA. Am a little confused as to whose will you researched. I assume OBs as he passed in Dec. 1923 but he had passed the business to his sons shortly after the turn of the century?? Also I am trying to find out when it closed.

Surnames: Judson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/4g.2ADE/2158.1 Message Board Post: Quite a number of years ago I did a little research on this business. It was located on the north side of Galesburg's Public Square. At that time I was trying to verify that the existing building on the northeast quadrant of the Public Square was the building from 1861. This is where Joe the Tailor is now located. That area was devestated by fire in 1861, ironically, the same night that Fort Sumter was fired upon. Nearly as I can tell the existing building does date from 1861. I did not copy the estate probate file but it was interesting and you may wish to contact the Knox County Clerk of the Circuit Court, Probate Division and obtain a copy. One thing the estate included was hearse and the coffin stands, so they followed the typical 19th c. pattern where cabinetmakers and furniture dealers took care of the funerals. Sorry I won't have anything else to offer, but your question triggered a few thoughts.

Janine I'm sorry I haven't got back to you about the mine stuff, but I'm trying to wind down the season. Had a great time on vacation except for the drunk that hit us head on in Plymouth, MA. Long story.... I've got a coup for you, MAYBE, I think I know where there's a cemetery that has never been read. It might be the Robinson that shows up in searchs of Orange Twp. I'll get a hold of the owner if you'd like to check it out with me. Todd janine@illinoisancestors.org wrote: This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.
