On 14 May 1818 at Kaskaskia James Crain filed a homestead for 160 acres the N E corner of section 13 in township 6S4W. This would be 1 mile east and 1 mile north of Denmark in what is now Perry County, Illinois. He and his wife Elizabeth (Unknown) came from what is now Randolph County, IL. They had arrived in Randolph Co. from Knox County, Tennesseee area about 1805. No marriage records have been found for them, but they were thought to have married in either Georgia before they went to Tennessee, or in Tennessee before coming to Illinois. They had children: Benjamin b. 22 June 1800 in Tennessee, Joel b. about 1807, Friend b. 12 October 1808, Wesley b. between 1810-1820 William Harrison b. 29 December 1813, Dorcas b. about 1814, Mildred (Milly) b. about 1817, Elizabeth b. between 1817-1818, and Melissa b. about 1822.

Friend Crain married Rebecca Henson b. March 1866. She was the daughter of John V. and Elizabeth (Tow) Henson. Elizabeth Tow's parents were Reuben Tow and Rebecca Conner. Reuben and Rebecca Tow married 12 April 1837 in Allen Co., Kentucky, they came to Perry Co., IL about 1839-1840. They were the parents of Elizabeth b. about 1838, Matilda b. about 1839, James W. b. 11 March 1842, Amanda E. b. about 1845, Rebecca Jane b. 10 December 1846, an infnat son b. 15 September 1848, Henry b. about 1849.

I also have listed Charles V or W b. 12 Aug 1866, Joseph Reuben b. 14 May 1869 possibly grandchildren as well as Josephine b. about 1874 and John R. b. about 1877. I don't have a lot of information on this family, need help here. John V. & Elizabeth Tow Henson had children: James Hadley b. 20 February 1862, Mary Jane b. 9 May 1868, Rebecca Ann (my great grandmother) b. March 1866, and Benjamin F. b. November 1878. In census records Elizabeth states she was the mother of five, but I have never found a 5th child for them. Any help on these families greatly appreciated, I am willing to share what I have. Peg Crain Luthy bilpeg@verizon.net Friend & Rebecca Crain has children: Roy, Otis (my grandfather), Dewey, Ruth and Viva.

My lines are LANE and WELLS. Lewis Wells' Family in Perry County before, during and after the Civil War Bennett LANE's family in Perry County before, during and after the Civil War Some of the families moved to SW Missouri shortly after the Civil War or just before the end. I have found a couple of burials and one was a wonderful surprise, but missing quite a few. I think some are back in Perry County. Elijah Lane married Elizabeth Wells. I have quite a few details but am looking for burials, obits, wills, and anything else that will help me tie these two families down. Lewis Wells was a Patriot and is buried in Perry County.

My Great Grandfather was William Williams. He married Naomi Casey 21 Mar 1872 in Perry county. He died 25 July 1894. I believe his father was Austin (Auston, Oston) Williams but I have no hard evidence to prove it. My grand father was Harley Williams born 3 Feb 1882 in Perry county. He later moved to Vermilion County. Naomi Casey was the daughter of Hiram Casey and Mary Jane Wooley. Hiram lived in Perry county with Mary Jane till her death on 12 Nov 1865. He later moved to Jasper, Mo where he died on 3 May 1877. Mary Jane was the daughter of Rev Benjamin Wooley and Nancy Long. Both the Reverend and Mrs. Wooley are buried in McElviain Cemetery in Perry County. I believe Nancy Long is the daughter of John Long and Catherine Fry, but I have very little information on the Long family. Bob Williams Huntley, Illinois

I am tied to your Lewis Wells, Sr. line. I assume you know he is a Patriot and is buried there in Perry County. I am descended from his son, Thomas Wells. Thomas' daughter Elizabeth Wells married Elijah Lane in Perry County and they migrated to SW Missouri between 1860 and 1870. I will get my roll call posted as soon as I can. Please keep in touch.

My Silas Thomas Gaither b abt 1832 Bedford Co TN married Mary Marinda Clark in Harrisburg, Saline Co IL 31 Jan 1856. He was son of Dr Abner Gaither & Nancy Squires Gaither. Abner died in great Cholera Epidemic in Shelbyville, TN. when he was age 33, no record of Nancy after that so must have so died also.

I am looking for information regarding Elizabeth Huggins daughter of Robert Huggins & Catherine Liveley. Elizabeth married John Davis in 1830, Perry County. They had at least 3 children, Patrick, William & Mary (Polly). Patrick married Martha Sanders and Mary married John Sanders (whom I believe to be Martha's brother). I believe there was another child born to this union namely Thomas Robert Davis. Anyone familiar with this group? Madonna Davis Marks --------------------------------- Yahoo!

In 1920 Edward & Erma McKinney are in Tyrone, Franklin Co., IL . He lists his parents born in Illinois, she lists her parents born in Tennessee. Both list themselves as born in Missouri.

Happy New Year to everyone I think a roll call for 2006 would be good to start the year. There will be some rules to post a roll call to Perry Co IL mail list. This will help new subscribers find those subscribed to the Perry Co IL mail list researching the same surnames. First do not type ROLL CALL anywhere no one is going to go thru 150 emails with the subject: ROLL CALL. I won't, here is the way to post it to Perry Co IL mail list. 1. In your subject line type your surnames: Casey, Hill, Tolley, Schribner 2. Message must contain the words Perry Co IL 3. Only the surnames you research in Perry Co IL should be in the subject line.My suggestion is to use families grouped together such as I did above, Casey, Hill, Tolley, Schribner. Then maybe another email with other surnames from a differnt group of families you research , I think the subject should be no more than 6 surnames per email to the mail list. These surnames are for example they were not in Perry Co IL to my knowledge Example: Subject: Casey, Hill, Tolley, Schribner Levi Casey migrated from Ky to Bond Co IL abt 1818 then moved to Perry Co IL, he married Chloe Hill. I would like to share information with any Casey or Hill researcher. I know there were marriages into the Tolley and Schribner families and would like to share info with those researching Tolley and Schribner. Who, What and Where and When are the key to a good subject line for posting to the mail list. example: Subject:Casey/Census Lookup/Perry Co IL/1840 Notice I put Census Lookup hopefully someone on the list can help me with my lookup, same would go for a marriage lookup, obit lookup. If I was going to post an obituary Subject: John Casey/Obituary Post/Duqoin IL/1888 I am not asking for a lookup I am posting a obit. I am posting these suggestions to help in 2006 your research to be productive, remember rootsweb does archive the messages and a surname should always be used in your subject line. Hope you all find these tips helpful. Tim Casey Perry Co IL Mail list adminstrator.
