Hello List, Would anyone on this list have information on my ancestor, Leo Fenwick Hamilton. He purchased land in Perry County in 1833, 1836, 1841, & 1846. He was married to Sarah E. Jones. Sarah died in 1844 and Leo died in 1848. I would like to know where the children lived after their deaths.One of their children, Sarah Elizabeth Hamilton, was born in 1840. Therefore, she was four when her mother died and eight when her father died. Thank you for any help. Jeanne in Phoenix

Each Zone consists of a series of 9 or more bordering county maps making up all 102 Illinois counties. Each Zone Atlas contains high resolution scanned images of vintage 19th century county maps that are presented in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF). All (11) individual Illinois Zones also available separately. Each atlas includes the following 19th century features: * roads, railroads and canals * cities, towns and villages * post offices and government sites * one-room schoolhouses, churches and cemeteries * rivers, streams and ferries * racetracks, fairgrounds and picnic groves * industrial sites, furnaces and mills * early homesteads and farms - and much more The Historic Atlas of Illinois series may be an invaluable aid to Genealogists, Historians and researchers in search of 19th century Illinois places and place names. Many 19th century sites no longer appear on contemporary maps and or have been obscured with time. The Historic Atlas Series CD's provide researchers with the means to quickly search 19th century maps when searching for extinct Illinois places. The Adobe Acrobat Reader for MS Windows is needed to view, zoom, pan and print from the PDF map images contained in this atlas; and is included free on each CD. No other software is necessary. The map data has been created and configured using Adobe Acrobat Reader (6.0) for MS Windows (98, 98SE, XP, NT and 2000). The maps may be viewed in earlier and the latest versions of the software as well; however, optimum use of the data can be expected using the Adobe Reader 6.0 that is included on this CD. Details on early maps are often difficult to read and these are no exception; however, by virtue of the Adobe PDF formatting, these documents may be inspected at high levels of magnification without additional digital distortion; something that simply cannot be accomplished with paper reproductions and photocopies. Follow the links below for other Atlas CD's available for the states of IA, IN, KY, MI,MN, OH, PA and WI.

Mary, there is a Henry Eaton in the Galum Baptist Cemetery b. 1835, d. 1903. Could that be him? I don't see Angeletta but there is Anna L. b. 1838, d. 1906. It looks in the book like they are together.

For those who may not have heard, the Galum Church in Perry Co, built around 1854, has completely burned. All that remains are the front steps. According to the newspaper, the church was burglarized, then set ablaze shortly before 7 a.m. Monday. Thought services have not been held there in more than a decade, the church had been well kept, and of course the cemetery is still in use. Sadly, there has been one burial there since the blaze. There have been arrests made. Stella sarjas@direcway.com
