Just wanted to take a moment and thank all for the county information and Stewart look up information. I have finally found my family!! I have been at this for 2 years and always have come up flat. Being stationed overseas has added to that frustration. I just wanted to thank all of you who helped me with the county, that in turn helped me ask the right question to the right board. Darrell Wesley provided me with my very first record of them, and couldn't be more thrilled. I finally have dob's on them all and where they were from. Thanks to all who share their information -- your assistance is invaluable.

Nell, I don't know if there is any connection at all, but my great-great-aunt Anna Hefner married Elmer Eugene Purcell in Alton (St. Mary's Catholic church) on 15 Feb 1908. If he was one of your Purcells, I can provide you information on their descendants but I don't know anything at all about his parents or siblings. John Coffee

I have sent an email message to Ancestry regarding the links between the towns and townships and the census images. It seems that the links are not going to the town or township that it should be directed to. For example, click on Alton and you get Saline Township and Highland, click on T6 R9 and you get T5 R7. In my message I suggested that they take the 1870 Madison Co IL census offline and correct the links so that we the subscribers will be able to use their use rather than get frustrated and discouraged. Hopefully they will check it out and see that there is a problem and correct it. Debbi Geer __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Try FREE Yahoo!

Cathi I found the Tibbett-Camp marriage online (Secretary of State's site). You'd have to contact the Madison County County Clerk's office in Edwardsville to obtain a copy of the license and find out what information was submitted at the time.

Regarding the Purcell family - Are you sure you have all the information correct? I looked up the family in my published copy of the 1880 Madison Co IL census and there are no Purcell's in Edwardsville Township. Also the ages of Frank and Della seem to be somewhat off with regard to the children in that time period. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Try FREE Yahoo!

Thankyou for your help. No, Mary E. Camp is not they Mary Camp I am looking for. My Mary, married John Belger in July of 1870. I have not been able to find there Marriage License, yet. They had two children together. Laura, Born: January 07, 1872 and Anna, Born: December 17, 1874. Both Girls were born in Alton, Madison County, IL Laura Married a Reuben Graham and Anna married Thomas M. Davis. I believe you found a marriage I am looking for......Louis Camp to Kate Tibett. Would the marriage licence happen to mention the parents to Louis Camp? The reason you probably didn't find the people I am looking for, is because, they were probably living with another family that was head. I believe that is especially true with John Belger. Also I believe the mother of My Mary, and possible brothers John, Henry, and Louis, died in the year 1869. According to some Probate papers her name was Laura Camp. But the 1860 Census for Godfrey, Madison County, IL list the head of the family as a Mary Camp. I trying to figure out if Mary and Laura are the same people, because Laura's Probate Paper, and the Census list the same people as her heirs, My Mary Camp, Henry, and Louis. These are the same kids in the home of Mary Camp in 1860.....My Mary's mother was also born in Prussia, like the lady Mary in the Census.....So, I am trying to piece everything together. I hope I make sense. Any, Thankyou so much for you help. It really means alot to me.

When the state was surveyed, it was divided into square townships of 6 miles on a side. The twps were numbered by location from a north-south line called a "Principal Meridian" and from an east-west "baseline". In IL, most twps are measure from the 3rd PM, which pretty much splits Illinois into eastern & western halfs. The usual baseline was called the "Centralia" baseline, and ran east-west through St Clair county, and is the southern border of most of Clinton Co. To give you an idea of where it is. There is a "2nd Principal Meridian" in Indiana, that is used to number some of the eastern-most twps in IL, and a "4th Principal Meridian" in the north-west part of IL that is used for some of the twps up there. [Each twp was then divided into 36 1-square-mile "sections" of 640 acres each, but that goes beyond what shows up on census reports.] Madison County, in this respect, consists of 24 townships. The southeastern corner is thus Township 3-North Range 5-West. This means it is the 3rd twp north of the baseline and the 5th west of the 3rd principal meridian. Similarly, the northwestern corner would be T6N R10W, indicating 6th north of the baseline and 10th west of the 3rd PM. All 4 of the western-most twps are partly or mostly cut short by the Mississippi river. In many cases, these townships were given names, like Foster Township. On most census pages, the township is given on the top line by either name or by legal number. On a lower line, the enumerator often also indicated which post office serviced the area. There was quite a lot of overlap, in that many post-offices serviced areas that lay within parts of two or more townships. This would especially be true if it was in a corner of a township; it's service area would not only include much of its own township, but also nearby areas lying within neighboring townships. Generally, the twp numbering system was used primarily to designate legal descriptions of parcels of land, and not so much for "political" boundaries. So this can be confusing. For a much better description of this system, along with a twp map and other graphics, see the IRAD page at: http://cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/archives/data_lan.html#location Hope this helps!

There is a Mary E Camp who married Holland Best in Madison Co IL on 4 Jan 1866. Is this your Mary? She would have been about 17 years old which is feasible for that time period. Other Camp marriages in Madison Co IL are - Henry - none Louis - Kate Tibbett on 7 Jan 1879 John - Harriet Pearl Olive on 18 Nov 1888 However, didn't find any of them as the head of a household for which the index is based on.
