Hello Group, My name is Laurie Skillern and I am researching my family in Madison County, Illinois. In 1900 my Great-great-grandmother, Amelia FRENCH WHITNEY, was living with her daughter Sarah Anna WHITNEY DONALDSON HALL (wife of Henderson HALL) in Edwardsville Twp. I believe Amelia might have died in Madison County but have been unable to find out when. There is a marriage in Alton between James Elmer WHITNEY and Nora Dell HATHAWAY on 3 May 1894. James Elmer is possibly the son of Amelia. I am requesting a copy of the marriage certificate but in the mean time was wondering if anyone had more information on James or Nora. Other names that I have linked to Madison County are Elizabeth Ann LINDER WHITNEY, Emmett Leroy WHITNEY, and Philip Lloyd WHITNEY. Thank you in advance for any information provided. Sincerely, Laurie
