I remember a few weeks ago, we had discussions on whether or not the proper name was James Wiley CHANCE or James Riley CHANCE. There were people that felt strongly on each sides of this discussion that one or the other were correct... and I'm here to tell you that they are both right!!!! They are brothers, believe it or not!!! James Wiley CHANCE Jr. is the the 14th son of James Wiley CHANCE Sr. and Mary Margaret "Millie" NICHOLS. James Riley CHANCE is the the 15th son of James Wiley CHANCE Sr. and Mary Margaret "Millie" NICHOLS. I will be posting more information on these families in the future - but watch for the postings on the NICHOLS families today for more information on this family!!! I hope this helps clear a few things up, and watch for the NICHOLS postings in a few minutes to get more information!!! Hope this solves some problems for everyone!!! Jody (PETERSON) CRAWFORD

I find this post of interest in regards to the Wilson line. My ancestor, Michael Wilson b NC came to Jefferson Co., IL between 1838 and 1843. He had a son Samuel b 1838 in TN and a son Alexander b 1843 in Jeff. Co. Could Michael be the son who " stayed in NC"? Would like to correspond with any researching this line.

Hi Sandy, I read your posting with interest since someone sent me the story of Ann many years ago. I am distantly related to this group through GW who married into my Wilson (Jeff Co.) line. I am also descended from the Courson, Shanafelt and Rothrock lines of Marion Co. I have many happy memories of Marion Co. from days spent on the farm of Dave and Mattie Wilson Courson, my grandparents. Would be interested in any information concerning these families.

Leah, I would love to have the complete listings for these families. Jesse and Josiah are definitely from my line, and Clementine fits in somewhere because the name is very familiar. I've seen this poor little four-letter surname mangled in wonderful ways, but Hilf is a first *lol. Thank you for your help. Cheryl Leah wrote: > Cheryl, > > I have access to the 1860 census.

Cheryl, I have access to the 1860 census. I found Jesse Helm, Josephine Helm, Clementine Helm and Josephine Helms. The index shows a listing for Josiah Helm, but upon viewing the census image, it looks like Josiah Hilf. Oddly, the family is continued on the next page and the name looks like Holm, but could be Helm. Would you like the complete listings for these families and individuals? Leah Rodis Rauenberg, Germany -----Original Message----- From: Cheryl Helm [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, May 10, 2001 5:29 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ILMARION] Divorce Records Hi Sandy, I don't have access to very much census data and what is available locally is only available Monday-Friday in the State Library during my work hours. I live in Ohio and there are no Illinois census records beyond 1850 available here. I own four unindexed sets of census records (1860 Bourbon County KS, 1870 Wyandotte County KS, 1870 Marion County IL and 1870 Fayette County IL). I have online access to 1850, 1880, 1900 and 1920 census records, most of which are not indexed. I have found Uriah W. Helm in 1857 Kansas Territorial Census, living near brother John Franklin Helm, and their sister Mary Ann Helm Loveless and her family and in-laws. 1865 Wayne County IL State Census (gives head of household, numbers and ages of people in household but no other names) 1880 Fayette County IL Census, with second wife and children -- none of his children by his first marriage are living with them. He and his wife died in 1885. I have not found a Margaret Helm(s) in any census that I have access to, either before or after the date of divorce that would fit Uriah's wife. I have found some 'stray' HELMs in later census records that *might* be their children but I have no way of knowing. I do have a "suspect": Margaret STOOPS who married Charles B. Carter (marriage is listed as Mrs. Margaret Stoops Helms) in 1892 and was living in Marion County in 1900 with one son, Harlan, near Uriah's brother Josiah. Harlan married in Marion County too. I've also found what looks like Margaret Stoops' mother, who remarried in IL abt 1860, living next door to Uriah HELM and family in the 1865 Wayne County State Census. But without a marriage or divorce record, I can't prove it. I don't have access to the 1860 census for any county and only have unindexed 1870 census records on CDs for Marion and Fayette County IL, and Wyandotte County, KS. I haven't found them in any of the townships where other family members were living in these counties. Since they were living in Wayne County in 1865, I suspect they probably married there and were living there in 1870. According to the 1865 census, they had one son under the age of 10, which places their marriage after 1855 and probably after 1857. Uriah's father died in TN between 1839-1846, but I cannot find his widow and children in any 1850 census. I have looked at every related family, hoping Elizabeth and the children might have been living with them but they are not. They had to have been in the vicinity of Fayette County because I have a marriage between Mary Ann Helm and James Loveless in May 1850. The next marriages take place in 1852 and 1853, both in Fayette County IL. By 1857 Uriah was in 'Bloody Kansas' with his brother, his sister Mary Ann and her families. By 1859, he was gone. By 1865 he was married to Margaret and living in Wayne County. Between then and 1880, I don't know where he was except that he filed for the divorce in Marion County in February 1877. Something very odd was happening with my families in 1877-1878, in that there are marriages and this divorce filed in Marion County but the families show up in Fayette County in 1880. The children of Mary Ann Helm and James Loveless all left Kansas in the 1870s and began marrying in 1877-1878 in Marion County but they didn't seem to live there, even though they had aunts, uncles and cousins that were. There are times when I just feel like I don't know what the heck I'm doing and I always feel that way with my *mystery* ancestors who are all connected to Marion County in some way.
