Hi, I just read my first letters from the list. I had signed up and then was gone for a few days. I am looking for information on the James Patrick McLaughlin family who settled in Macon Co Illionis. James married William Stith daughter, Georgianna Stith in 1886 I think it was. Georgianna was from Boody in Macon Co. What I am looking for is information on James McLaughlin who may have had an uncle by the name of M McDaniel who also lived in the area somewhere. Also looking for information on William Stith. His wife's name was Pheobe. (SP) It is great to find a list for Macon Co. I was there last summer and visited quite a few cementaries in the Blue Mound area. But I forgot to find out the name of the Catholic Church in the area since the McLaughlin's were Catholic. I am hopping to find records on the kids if I can. My husband's father when to Catekism (SP) in Blue Mound but I don't know what the name of the church was. Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated. I also need to find out the name of the Baptist church in Macon because after James Patrick McLaughlin (McGlaughlin) died the family when to the Baptist church because of a conflict with the Catholic Church according to stories handed down by family members. James has been hard to trace. Supposely he came from Montgomery Co in Pennsylvania but there are no birth records for that time between 1850-1900. Birth were not registarted I learned last week. Again thanks in advance for the help. Carla Carla L McLaughlin [email protected] Bozeman Montana Researching McLaughlin(McGlaughlin), Luhrsen(Luehrsen), Coffman, Street, Rosebrock, and Wilson.
