Noticed the following request for HOOD information. My research has turned up some HOODs, but I haven't been able to directly tie them into my family, other than the marriage of Lillian Inez Buck (b. 11 Feb 1890 d. 14 Jan 1914) to George Hood. They were married on 8 February 1911. Lillian was my grandaunt. I have no children listed for them. They probably lived in Springfield, Illinois. I do have a couple of newspaper obits for HOODs, however, who may be connected to the above George. Reuben Hood of Waverly, Illinois. Mrs. Sarah Margaret Rector Hood, wife of Reuben. If anyone would like me to send copies of the obits please send me your E-mail address and I'll be happy to do it. If anyone knows anything about George Hood, his family or children, I'd appreciate hearing from you... Other surnames that I have an interest in are listed at the end of this message... **************************************************************************** **************** -----Original Message----- Sent: Friday, December 29, 2000 4:19 PM To: ILMAGA-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [ILMAGA] Request for Greene Co Illinois Biographies Greene Co Bios: Elizabeth Hood C.F. Barrow 1857 # 549 Letitia (1) Hood James Ward 1865 #611 Am searching for Hood and Jackson ties in Illinois. I am trying to determine if I have any Hood ties to this county. Found George W. Hood in Roodhouse's Martin Prairie Cemetery that very well could be my ggrandfather's grave I have been searching for. I have his birthdate as 1808 in Kentucky and the grave indicates birth in 1807 from age given 55 years in 1862. His wife, Milla Jackson, remarried a Samuel Blackburn in Greene Co Illinois in 1864 and lived in Riverton, Sangamon Co, Illinois in 1880 census. George and Milla migrated from Monroe County Kentucky some time before the 1860 Monroe County Kentucky census as they are found in the 1850 census. Until now the span from 1850 to 1864 when she remarries Samuel Blackburn is all I have on location of family but now am wondering if this George W. Hood's grave is my ggrandfather's. Am hoping these bios will provide me with some clues. Thank you, June in Tucson, AZ **************************************************************************** **************** Best wishes.
