i have three PEARSON families that are possibly in my family tree: 1)Arthur N PEARSON b bef1869 IL was a farmer in 1889 md Sallie WILLIAMS b bef1869 MO had a daughter b 31Aug1889 Esmen Township, Livingston, IL 2)Job Pearson b bef1840 md 09Aug1860 Livingston County, IL to Rebecca Ann JENKINS b bef1840 3)Meredith M PEARSON b bef1871 md Ida L DEMOSS b bef1871 had at least two daughters: Edith PEARSON b abt1884 Fairbury, Livingston, IL md 01Jul1902 Livingston County,IL George DREW Mattie Mahala PEARSON b 20Feb1891 Avoca Twp, Livingston, IL was alive in 1954 on N Jackson St Fairbury given a marriage license 14Jul1916 to wed Harry Allen CARTER I've posted a few queries with several surnames on the US Gen Web for Livingston County, IL and the PEARSON name is included but evidently very few people are using that site... i have family group sheets made out on all of the families i've posted at the site and am willing to share the information at the site... although i've asked at the site to keep our correspondence PUBLIC a few have e-mailed me privately and got upset when i asked them to reply ONLY to the site... maybe i'm wrong, but i feel it saves alot of time to post only PUBLIC to newsletters and sites on the US GenWeb for potentially hundreds of researchers to study instead of putting alot of time into PRIVATE e-mails that can take an enormous amount of time and yield NOTHING. dennis On Fri, 20 Oct 2000 23:36:44 -0400 "Gary Nervig" <dannervig@worldnet.att.net> writes: > Susan > Interesting!

Susan Interesting! I have an Arthur Pearson in my family...his wife was Jennie FELT. Arthur was b. 1885 in Chatsworth (Livingston) IL and he and Jennie lived in Normal (McLean) IL after their marriage. I know there is another old PEARSON family other than ours in the area at that time and imagine you are "it"?. My Arthur was the son of Bennett Pearson and Hannah Storey.

Hi, This helps my a whole lot. I have a great aunt who is a sister to my grandfather Arthur Clark MILLER. who married Arthur PEARSON from Livingston, Illinois. He was a farmer. A long time ago one of there children ran away from home. My grandpa and grandma were living down near the small town of St. John, Washington. Grandpa called his sister they talked. The boy went back to his parents back in Pontiac, Illinois. All I am trying to do is connect the family members together.

Peg Is there a chance anyone can get a copy. Can you copy and let anyone pay you for them to get copied. Or, give us the address so we can get a copy? Lois Illinois (I need cemeteries in Ford, Kankakee, Livingston, etc. areas)

Hi, Could you find Esmer Town Ship? I think it has a cemetery. Susan ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!

The Pontiac Library has a nice genealogy section plus county information. Maybe if you called them they would have information on how to obtain a county township map? I have copied several old township plat maps but unfortunately don't have a copy of just the county with townships or I'd send one to you! Also, Verda, at the FORT, as someone else suggested, is very helpful and for a small donation she would probably send you what you need if she has it.

Hi Susan, I think you mean Esmen Township which is SW of Chicago maybe 100 miles or so. Pontiac is the county seat, Esmen is just north of Pontiac. It has at least 1 cemetery known as Esmen, but also known as the Camp Cemetery. Several of my Meyer and McMillan relatives are buried there. Hope this helps. Larry in Minneapolis Photolary@aol.com

How about Map Quest? Have you tried them to get a map of the area? Also if you call the County seat of Livingston they may be able to tell you where to get a map.

Hello Everyone, This is my first post to the list, and it isnt a very good one. The reason being is that I am looking for my Calvin BLANKENSHIP without much to go on. I am sending this to the Illinois lists because I am thinking that since his wife was born in IL and her parents in TN, that maybe the Blankenship's moved from TN to IL, then to MO. Unfortunately I do not have last names for the women born in IL, but I figure that if I start shooting in the dark long enough, I will hit something. I estimate the Blankenship's migrating to IL after 1825. I found Calvin BLANKENSHIP married to DELIAH on the 1850 Texas County, MO census. Living next door to Calvin is WILLIAM BLANKENSHIP and his wife, PAMELA JANE. Since Calvin was only a couple of years older than William, I have to assume they are related, if not brothers, because they were the only Blankenships in TExas County at this time and they were both born in TN and both of their wives in IL (just thought that was interesting). SInce Calvin Died during the civil war (there is no record on him except a muster roll, since he was a confederate), he wasnt around when the government started asking where their parents were born. I followed Deiliah until 1880. I estimate her time of death between 1881-1883. I followed William, and he lists his parents as also being born in TN ..... although its a shot in the dark, is there anyone out there that has a link to a BLANKENSHIP's that had a son named Calvin, (who was born abt 1820-25) and/or William (b. abt.1823-1826). I do not have Calvin's parents names or their wives maiden names. I am hoping to connect them to someone who might be able to shed some light on this for me .... Thank you in advance!!!!

Thanks all, but this does not answer my original question - yes, you have the cemetery locations, but I still need a map that shows where each and every township is located. Does anyone know of an online Livingston County map with townships?

Sorry Mitzi, I don't know of any. Annette mentioned that she has a listing of the cemeteries with mailing addresses. Might be worth mailing inquiries to those cemeteries close to Cornell.

Hi Annette, Do you have addresses for the cemeteries near Cornell? I'm looking for the burial place of Paul DALE who died about 1894. Thank you.

The Livingston County USGenWeb page does have a list of all cemeteries in the county. The list can be reached if you look under OTHER RESOURCES on the first page of the County Page. It has the name of the cemetery, the township it is located in and a mailing address. This information was obtained from the county courthouse. I would like to take this opportunity to let people know they need to look at all pages of the Livingston County USGenWeb site. Anyone who would like to volunteer to canvas any cemetery and post it on the Livingston County site are more than welcome to do so. We did have a person who was doing just that with the motive of publishing a book I believe. However he has vanished without even notifying me he was quitting. I'm sorry this site does not contain all the information people would love to see there, but one person can not provide that. Any help would be appreciated.
