Maryjane, Thank you for forwarding the 1860 & 1880 Census information. The 1880 Census is definitely my husband's family ad I already had a copy of that and most likely the 1860 one is as well. THere was only one marriage and Michael's age (at 28) would be 10 yrs. off. He would have been 38. All the names are right, although the daughter "June" was a complete surprise to me. The granddaughter, "Anna Sithen" on the 1880 census is my husband's grandmother who was orphaned at 2 & raised by the grandparents & one of the aunts. Interestingly, I cannot pull the 1860 Census up on Ancestry.com. It looks like you used familysearch.org. Anyway, you are correct that it shows daughter Mary "Furgerson's" (should be Ferguson) birthplace as LA, which makes much more sense. I had this Census and then later obtained a copy of her obituary, which stated she was born in Edwardsville, IL and you know how we are when we see conflicting information. I thought, well, there must be some other rock to turn over here as she had several adult living children when she died and you would just kind of think they would know where "Mom" was born! LA definitely makes the most sense as other early children of this marriage were born in LA before they moved to Galveston where the younger children were born. I thank you for your time. It's very possible there are no links to IL. Sheryl McNally

I have some real nice items coming up, but with the over whelming response to the surnames requests, I've been so busy doing them!! Keep an eye on the pages... things are changing constantly! I have added a history of Madison County that was submitted quite some time ago, and I have divided up the Offline Resources pages... Along with some more information on what is available at the courthouse. If anyone has any information on Historical, or Genealogical societies in the area, please let me know... I've only got the Madison County Genealogical Society listed, and a couple of libraries. Have a good evening, kids!!!! Lorraine

Could this be your Michael Hussey? It states that Mary was born in Louisiana. Either his age should read 38 or this is his wife's second marriage due to the age of Ellen.

My surname in this area is HUSSEY. An obituary (Houston, TX, May, 1944) for my husband's ggreat aunt, Mary Ann HUSSEY Ferguson, states she was 84 when she died (making her birth yr. 1860 or so, depending on month of birth). The obit. states she was born in Edwardsville, IL. Parents names are Mary Ann Keenan Hussey and Michael Hussey. Ironically, I can find no other "link" to the IL area for this family. Mary Ann & Michael were married in NO, LA in 1847 and Mary Ann Hussey Ferguson's obit states they came to Houston "during the "Civil War." I cannot locate them on a census, even with soundex. If anyone can help out with a "link" for this family to this area, I would really appreciate it. Sheryl McNally

This is probably in too late but could you add these to the surname list as well? Green Trammell Summers Thanks. Vicky Hunt

That sounds right -- none of the family had any money. Thanks for your email.

Hello, If it's not too late please add my surnames to the list. Thank you Bradley, Legg, Parquet, Winn and Coats.

Can I also add these names to the surname list. Randle Harrison Drum Demonbreun Warnack Curry Gere Thanks, Sherron Logan

Does anyone have information on the small community of Wanda, Illinois (located between Edwardsville and Woodriver)???

Please add the folloing names to the surname list. McCallum Reilly McKissock Thanks, Bill McCallum Bill and Mary McCallum wmmccallum@earthlink.net

>>I am "hungry" for submissions and will consider anything to ad to the >>site. I'd like to get this site moving, . . . Please add the names William SEAR and Elizabeth BRYANT to the list. They married March 25, 1858 in Madison County. I am trying to learn more about them as the may be the William and Lizzie in my line. If so, they would have been born in England. Roberta Sharp
