Lynne, Thanks for the info on the 1910 census record in Pope Co., IL, for the family of William A. CALDWELL. By the 1920 Census, William A. was deceased, Claud had moved from the Pope Co. area to?, Bessie married and moved to MO, Lula was working at the Jacksonville State Hospital, as was Effie. George H. was supposedly living in the area, but I cannot locate him. I have been unable to find William and family in the 1900 census of Pope Co., so it would be great if you came across the family. Thanks so much, Regina

1920 census--Cache Township, Johnson County, Illinois, page 8b. George H. Caldwell head 25 Mylas " wife 32 George W. " son 1 5/12 Wallise Cavith stepson 9 The George Caldwell who died on 9/23/1942 in Litchfield, Montgomery County was 77 years old. That makes him born around 1865. Most definitely not your George Caldwell. Lynne

Regina, This looks like the family of Emma Golden. Don't know if you already have it or not. 1880 Jackson Precinct, Massac County, Illinois, page 78A Hickum Golden 40 AL farmer AL AL Levina 50 TN keeps house TN TN Charles A. 18 AL Marget C. 16 AL Emma R. 14 AL Levina C. 9 IL Andrew P. 6 IL Hickman M. Golden married Lavina Chastan on 1/23/1877 in Pope County. (IRAD record). 1870 Pellonia Post Office, Massac County, Illinois, page 300b. Hickman M. Golden 30 farming Alabama Mary F. 33 keeping house Alabama Charles A. 8 AL Margaret C. 6 AL Emma 5 AL There are some trees at ancestry with Hickman Golden. According to most of them, his first wife was Mary Francis Chastain, sister of his 2nd wife. One of these trees also remarks that Emma died at 2 days old so I'd take the information posted with a grain of salt. They have birth/death dates for Hickman as 8/11/1839 and 4/13/1897 buried in Otterbein Cemetery in New Liberty, Pope County, Illinois. Lynne
