I looked through some booklets and here is what I found on McCrary Family in Perry County. None of them or all of them may be related to yours: 1862 Militia Census: Alex and James McCrary In my 1853 Plat Book of Perry County, Hugh McCrary owned 80 acres at: TRS,R4W, Section 9 near Mud Creek. This was NW of Pinckneyville.

I am related to the Cottom's from Perry County. Maggie Mae Cottom - was my grandmother's mother. Reuben Cottom was Maggie's father then there was a Samuel, Simon and Francis Cottom that I am trying to find info on. I have already photographed every tombstone in Cottom Cemetery and found most of them buried there. I am looking for history of the Cottom Cemetery (how it got its name). All I know is that somewhere along the line the Cottom's owned that land and donated it for the cemetery. Prior to that it was a different name. According to the LDS files, the Cottom's were originally from England but I have not found proof yet. I will be going to England the end of October and hope to be able to look some things up there. Anyone knowing more on this family - would greatly be appreciated. Jonna __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 http://mail.yahoo.com

I've been following the story on the Galum Cemetery (Perry County) being burnt down. If anyone has any updated info on this I would love to hear about it. I had just visited the chapel/cemetery in June of 2005 and had gotten a chance to go inside the chapel by a relative who was one of the caretakers and had taken photos. I was very shocked and disappointed to find that it had burned to the ground. My direct email is jonnabella@hotmail.com Thanks! Jonna __________________________________ Yahoo!
