Hi, I would like to find descendants who would appreciate having a copy of this family photo. It is a large colorized photo of members of the Griggsby or Grigsby family taken probably in the 1930's at Nortonville. It has 6 individuals pictured. The 2 I can identify are my G-G-Uncle George Kehl (1866-1959) and his second wife, Bessie Griggsby Kehl (1874-1943). The others are Bessie Griggsby's relations, a brother and a woman who could be his wife, or could be a Bessie's sister; and a young couple who are believed to be Bessie's nephew and his wife or sister. We know that Bessie had another brother who was single and farmed with her in Nortonville until his death, prior to this photo. George and Bessie married late in life, after her brother's death, and had no children to pass this photo on to. Juli Claussen Carbondale, IL

Posted on: Morgan Co. IL Query Page Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/Morgan/276 Surname: Pierce, Stewart ------------------------- I have an Abram(aka Abiram,Byrum) PIERCE, b.ca. 1827 in Scott or Morgan Co. This info comes from sparse Civil War papers. He married Susan Stewart in Orange Co,IN in 1853 and widowed her in 1863. They had Mary, Jane, Elizabeth and Stephen. The girl's names are family names and as Susan had no Stephen in her fmily, this may be Abram's father's name. I am seeking his parents and siblings.
