Seeking any information on my great great grandparents. William Pullam (Pulliam) married Elizabeth Rawson 7/6/1848 Morgan Co., Illinois. They are listed in the 1850 Morgan County census along with my great grandfather Jesse. Elizabeth remarried in Cass County. Illinois to John F. Mitchell on 9/6/1860. Have searched every cemetery online but unable to find where William Pullam is buried or when he died. The 1870 Morgan County census lists the Mitchell's along with children from each of their first marriages. Unable to find where they relocated. Any information or lead to help me in this quest would be so appreciated. Thank you. Jacque

I am forwarding this URL in case one is interested in finding a death notice/obituary nationwide. But it does appear the info was taken from the SS Death Index. One can add information free, but one has to pay to submit the actual obituary or to add a tribute. In other words, they are making money off of the SS Death Index <g> So proceed with caution.

Rather than trying to keep track of what I put up and then announcing same once in a while, I've put a new link on the MAGA index pages (both of them) called "What's New". The link is very near the top of both index pages - just click on the link and you'll find a list of everything which has been added since my last announcement. Thanks to Mary Ann for the Greene County Old Settler's Association Article and the List of Early Settlers in Greene County and to Becky Jenkins for volunteering to transcribe all the 1873 Scott County Bios. To find the "What's New Page" - use this URL http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilmaga/1_whatsnewpage.html

This has been solved and descendants found. The two Holloway burials were a mother and child, ironically the father/husband is buried just a mile down the road, so they are being moved there. I have Holloway's in my lineage, so checked into it, still waiting to hear from the KC TV station that ran the appeal for the descendants.

This organization is making information available to family history researchers who have ancestors who were members of the Primitive Baptist Church in Illinois. They are creating a page for each county - not all are finished yet, but the one for Morgan, Cass, Menard and Sangamon Counties are completed and on line. The others are under construction. I'll place the link on the MAGA page in case you have need of it in the future. http://www.carthage.lib.il.us/community/churches/primbap/FamHist-Morgan.html http://www.carthage.lib.il.us/community/churches/primbap/FamHist-Sang.html http://www.carthage.lib.il.us/community/churches/primbap/FamHist-Cass.html http://www.carthage.lib.il.us/community/churches/primbap/FamHist-Menard.html

Try Lewis Cemetery - there are lots of Angelo/Angelow burials there - I was just there a week or so ago - it is in terrible shape.

Is there a cemetery listing for the old cemetery in Jacksonville, Morgan County where many Angelo - Angelow's are buried? JW

Dear Shirley, I have pictures of family stones in several cemeteries throughout Macoupin County: Charity Cemetery in Carlinville, Oak Hill and Old Union in Palmyra, Oak Grove Cemetery, Maple Lawn Cemetery at Medora, and the Chism Cemetery on the Tom Chism farm. I live in Maine, but have gotten these pictures in doing cemetery research on my way through Illinois. Would you be interested in them even though they are pretty much only my family? Garnette
