Hi, I'm sorry I have no Green and Robinson marriages in my files but am sending you a private email with information which might help you. Lois

I could not help but notice references to the 'Green' surname. My gggrandmother (Sarah T. Robinson, b. 1803, Ohio) married a Mr. Green according to the 1860 Lincoln, Logan County, Illinois Federal census sometime between 1850 and 1860. I have not been able to locate any type of records in Logan County regarding this marriage other than her Sarah's name change noted on the Illinois census. If you have any info regarding a Green married to a Robinson, I would appreciate the sharing.

If I am seeing correctly this morning, Rimmerman Cemetery sits near the center of section 29, in the southeast part of the northwest quadrant of the twp. which would put it about 3 1/2 miles straight west of Lincoln. Bill

Section 29, which is out 10 a couple miles, is where Rimerman is supposed to be but I have never found it on a plat map. The map at http://www.rootsweb.com/~illogan/locem.gif seems to me to indicate, based on the roads and such, that it is really in Section 28 and it so happens that on the plat map a Rimerman owns the property in what I would say is the west one half of the northwest quad of Section 28. Best idea is to call the Cemeteries District at 217 732-2372.
