This is for Jlane who wrote about having booklet and list of marriages. My grandparents lived in the Alton area for a number of years after their marriage, as several of their children were born there. Later they moved to Jerseyville. As yet I have not been able to ascertain anything on them but that they both died in Fidelity. I would be so grateful if you could find anything on my grandparents, who were both born in Ireland (where ?), and I have heard that Ellen migrated in 1869, and married about 1871, but this is just hearsay with no proof of such. I believe these dates were only arrived at by the number of children born prior to William S. Powers birth date. If you do any look ups for me I am certainly willing to pay all costs, and for your time. Thanks for reading this.

If anyone has access to the 1870 census for Madison County, could you do a lookup for George Campbell. He would have been 6 yrs old at the time. I'm looking for his parents.

Could someone give me some information about the Elder Family that was in Madison County in 1890's and early 1900's . I am interested in John W Elder who married my great grand mother. they lived in West Alton Mo in St Charles Co MO.--across MIss R from Alton IL in Madison County. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for a reply. Joyce

I would also be interested in the directions and I bet some other people on the list would be also. Is there any chance you could post the directions on the list?

In some notes that I have from a few years ago acquired while in Alton, Ill, I found a reference to Brinks Historical Military Index. In this were listed YAGER,Austin 265 YAGER, Cyrus 246 YAGER, William 265. Is there someone in Madison Co. that might be able to inform me as to these references? William YAGER is my gr.gr. grandfather & the other YAGER's are related. I will appreciate any help.

Some time ago, there were several queries wanting to know where they could find the book, "The Moores of Madison County" by Earl Moore. I have recently found one place where the book can be found. It is the Madison County HISTORICAL Society Library, 715 N. Main Street, Edwardsville, IL 62025. Their hours are 9-4 on W-Th-F and 1-4 on Sunday. Telephone # is 618/656-7562. They suggest that you call first so that they can have it ready for you. They do have a copier. The book does not circulate. Hope this helps someone. Charlotte

I would also like to have the directions Please, Thanks, Mary On Thu, 29 Apr 1999 09:56:39 -0500 "TERCHER" <TERCHER@prodigy.net> writes: > Marge, > I will send you the page with directions. > -----Original Message----- > From: M N Carr <mncarr1@juno.com> > To: ILMADISO-L@rootsweb.com <ILMADISO-L@rootsweb.com> > Date: Thursday, April 29, 1999 9:22 AM > Subject: Land records > > > >I have the legal description of land purchased in Madison County in > 1850 > >from the Federal Government (supplied by the BLM), how would I > translate > >this to a parcel number, then trace the subsequent sales of this > parcel? > >Marge M.Huhman@Juno.com Searching: DAVIES/ ANDERTON/ REEVE/ HOLCROFT, Eng./Nebr,USA HUHMAN & EICKHOFF, Mo./Ne.

I am hoping to find someone who has access to the book The History of Madison County, Illinois. I don't have the title page, I only have one page from this book. What I need is to see if someone can get me the page before and after the one I have. The page I have deals with the family of B.H. Mills ( first name Bartlett) and his family. In the upper left corner of this page I have is the number 423...I don't know if this is the page that this information appears on or not. If you have this book and can copy the pages I need, I'll be more than happy to reimburse for copying charges and postage. Please email me at CWmom4@aol.com Thanks, Vicky Burns Ohio

I have the legal description of land purchased in Madison County in 1850 from the Federal Government (supplied by the BLM), how would I translate this to a parcel number, then trace the subsequent sales of this parcel?

William D. SMITH (b cir 1824) and Catherine McKAY WINNING SMITH (b cir 1820) immigrated from Glasgow Scotland area around 1850 to Alton, IL. Two sons from Catherine's first marriage, James D. WINNING and Robert WINNING immigrated in the 1860s and also initially settled around Alton. William and Catherine SMITH had at least 2 more children, probably girls born in the US. William SMITH was killed in a coal mining accident in Collinsville, date unknown but probably 1870s. Believe that Catherine SMITH moved to Brighton and/or Litchfield after his death. Looking for any leads to help me determine when William Smith died and where he is buried. Also names and information on any children of William & Catherine Smith. Georgann Winning Darrow
