Hi, I just found out some more information about the John and Mary HICKEY that I am looking for in Illinois. My John HICKEY was supposed to be one of the first farmers for SCULLY in Illinois. There is supposed to be a book about the history of Logan county, that I am not sure if it is still available - that lists my John HICKEY in it. If anyone is able to connect or tell me how to get this book, I would greatly appreciate it. Sharon

Can anyone tell me the difference between the "Patentee" and the "Warrantee" when checking into land grants? Who's who? Thanks, Shauna

I am interested in the WEBB family that lived in Logan Co. Ill from about 1848 to about 1854. This family was originally from Clark Co. Ky. I found Samuel Webb (my great great grandfather) living with his wife Rebecca, daughter Julia, father Isaiah, and brother Richard in the 1850 census living in Logan Co. Nearby is his brother George and wife Susane, along with brother James. I cannot locate a number of other family members. Isaiah's wife Martha, and five other children are nowhere to be found. The two older girls were probably married by this time (Sally Ann to George Pearson NOBEL and Louisa J. to David COX) but John H., Augustine M., and Caroline "Carrie" WEBB would have been 12,10, and 8 years of age. I know Samuel's wife Rebecca died before he left KY for MO. Family oral history is that she died in some sort of an accident. I don't know if Isaiah died in IL or if he went back to KY. DAR records indicate he died in Clark Co. KY but it wouldn't be the first error I've found. One of the "missing" children, John H. ends up in MO along with Samuel years later. He is said to have married about 1870/71 in Lincoln, Logan Co. IL to a Mary. I don't find any record of her in MO. I would like to hear from anyone having information on this family. Thank-you Kathleen

Cheryl before school is out I will be down there to visit family and see what I can check for sure what they.

I talked to a family from Atlanta today and they said the library is open in the daytime Monday - Saturday and Thursdays til 8:00. I realize this is not great information but it is better than none. Cheri Salz

Thanks so much to all of those who replied to my quest for more information. I have been curious for a long time why he was there. He was born a twin and stayed with his parents till he was 21 then to the Feeble Home till he died wen he was 28. That Helps Alot!

Sarah Lucas who married William Copeland was the daughter of Abraham Lucas and Marcy Kelsey. If the name is Lucas in that end of the county they are related...to this day. I have a great deal of information on the Lucas line too. I descend from Abraham a couple of ways.

Athey is not a name I'm familiar with. There are other Copelands. I know a guy in Iowa who has a line that seems to run in and out of the Logan County Copelands but doesn't quite make the connection. Somewhere around here I have some of his lines and I'll look for that Athey name when I find it. Remind me if I don't mention this again in the next week.

I wish I had more information, but I don't. What I've gathered has all come from working backward. I just thought perhaps you'd have mention of Lucy Athey his wife. From the 1910 census, I know Edward Copeland's father was born in Indiana, and his mother in Pennsylvania. I'll keep at it and if I can come up with any other information I'll check back with you.

It sometimes was a dumping ground for the unwanted child. Even one was too many IMO.

Before that [beginning in 1910] it was known as Lincoln State School and Colony, shorted to Lincoln State School in 1962.

Good morning: I thought their hours a little strange too - was there 2 yrs. ago and had to wait until 1:00 to get in - and in Atlanta, where do you go to kill time - walk through the cemetery - actually that is how I found my g.g.grandparents graves; and then had lunch at the resturant on the same side of town to pass the time. This was in August.

Hello, Does anyone know anything about a Feeble Minded Institute in Lincoln? It would have been open in 1910. I am trying to find some information about the place. Like what it was and if it is still there and where. If anyone has any suggestions or knows of this place please contact me.

Hi, Saw your mention of the name Copeland. I am looking for an Ed S. Copeland, born in IL June 1853; married Lucy Ann Athey b. March 1859 in Logan County, IL; they moved to Taylor County, Iowa (Lenox). If you have any information on Ed S. Copeland, I would be very grateful.
