Hi listers: I have made a tiny speck of progress on tracing my gggrandparents, William Proctor JACKSON (b. 1828 England)and Martha A. BROWN (b. 1834,IL). I now know that they married in Morgan Co, Dec. 14, 1854. By the 1860 Census they had come to Scottville in Macoupin County. Also living in the house with Martha in 1860 is her mother, Catherine BROWN(b. IL) . Catherine must have died or moved away by the time of the 1870 Census in Macoupin County. William died in 1873 at the age of 45,leaving Martha a widow with at least 8 children to raise. Their names were: George W. (b. abt 1857), Sarah E. b. 1858,John b. abt 1861, Newton b. abt 1863, Charles b. abt. 1865, Jane b. abt 1866, Mary b. abt 1867 and Frances "Frankie" b. abt 1870. There were several JACKSON families in Macoupin Co. at the same time, one male, Robert, was b. abt 1831 in England, which makes me wonder if he was a brother to my William P.? He married a Rebecca and had children Samuel, Rose and Charles. I know there was another William Jackson in the county who was also b. in England, but don't believe he was related, unless more distantly like an uncle or cousin to mine. I know I have asked several times if anyone out there has any information on these families, but this is the most data I have had to help narrow things down a bit. Does anyone know who Catherine BROWN's husband may have been? Could someone do a look-up for me on the death record of William P. Jackson , Martha Jackson and Catherine Brown? Thanks, Carol Dugger Napa, CA

Does anyone know of a book that gives who stood bond at marriages in 1830 Morgan county? I have been unable to learn who stood bond for the following marriage William BESLEY 29 Dec 1830 to Dulcena WESTROPE I think the marriage bond itself is dated 23 Dec 1830 Thank you Bob White Davidson NC

Hi, Looking for any descendants of Minnie Smith born 24 Jan. 1877 to Joseph C. Smith and Andrizza DeFrates in Morgan County. Penny

I am looking for information on Martha Collins who died June 16, 1930 in Morgan Co. I am trying to determine if this is my gg grandmother before I order the death certificate. If anyone has access to obituaries or death records (certif. # 2690288) and could look this up for me, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you. Kay Philpot in KY [email protected]

Hi, Online tonight on the Morgan Area Genealogical Ass. & Waverly Gen. & Hist. Society page (ILMAGA): Pulliam aka Vancil Chapel Cemetery in Macoupin County: This Cemetery was read by Mr/Mrs Merrill Stewart in the 1980's, as well as Myra Martin in the 1970's. The readings are incorporated with Obits, death certificates, etc. and transcribe here by Shirley, who else <g>. Link can be found under Macoupin County on the IL MAGA Home Page: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilmaga/index.html Two new Biographies from the 1904 Sangamon County History - surname BUCK requested by John Buck: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilsangam/bio.htm As these biographies were begun on the Sangamon Co ILGenWeb page, when I was CC, we are continuing this. No point on having them listed on two separate Web pages. And we have the full cooperation of the new Sangamon County ILGenWeb Coordinator Morris Myers. Morris is CC for Morgan County ILGenWeb also and we are lucky in that we share resources and links with him. Thanks, Morris. This also applies to Greene, Scott and Menard Counties ILGenWeb - Donna Kilroy and Jeanne Weaver. For those lists which did not receive the previous announcements, the Menard Co. Deaths are in the process of being posted with surnames A - J online, thanks to Gayle Swoik, Margaret Hohimer & Eileen Gochanour. The 1870 & 1880 Menard County Mortality Schedules are also posted. Refer to MAGA Home page for links. And we are happy to announce that soon the 1860 Greene County IL Census will be online on the MAGA page with thanks to Allen Handling who has the database with permission granted from Greene Co. Gen. Society. The publication is available for purchase from Greene Co. Gen. Society. Also, the 1860 and 1870 Scott County IL Census are in the process of being transcribed. 1860 Scott will be soon, the 1870 Scott might take awhile, as yours truly is transcribing it and I am a much slower typist than Shirley. Eileen Gochanour is the contributor/publisher of these Census. So good time to keep track of the ILMAGA page, you never know what will be next.

I'm sorry, I didn't make myself clear, Amelia later married and her name became Hawk, Effie May later married Perry E. Smothers. (They were my great grandparents.)

I am trying to find a connection to any Wright for my g,g,grandmother Amelia Wright who had a daughter named Effie May Wright. Do you know anything? She also, we believe, was born in NC. Later married a Hawk.

Research descendants of John Wright b. 1785 NC. Lived Dickson Co., TN and came to Morgan Co., IL about 1832 and settled in Wright Twp. and is buried in the Gunn-Rimbey Cemetery near Murrayville..

Soorrry......I mistyped the URL for the ILMAGA Web page: It is: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilmaga/index.html Go there and find the Menard Mortality Schedules and 1850 Morgan Census. (Not Morgana :-) Seems my fingers didn't work right.
