Keep looking. I don't know anyone in that family. I am looking for Lockett, Beard , and Whithead (Whited). Know about any of these? Good Luck GLenda

Have you checked other counties in the state? I started out checking for Lockett in Brown county and ended up with Lockett in Pike cty. Also, in looking for Lockett, I have found two other branches, which are Beard and Whitehead or whited. This is fun. Something to do on a snowy day! But am having trouble getting myself off of geneology and onto TAX. ha ha Have a good time. Glenda

Sorry, I don't know about apple fest in Barry, IL Glenda

And the index to the History of Pike County Illinois is at: http://www.ptsi.net/user/umschab/pike/ and I'm trying to keep current with all the looks ups too. Thank you again Dorothy and Glenda for your work in this area! And there will be an update with corrections, probably next week.

Cathie, Have you tried getting her obituary--her husbands name might be listed there as being predeceased. Colleen B.

I have sent for and recieved two SSI applications. Here is what mine show: name, address and work place of applicant. They show parents names but not spouse name. They also show place of birth. One thing I liked about the forms, I now have a signature of the person I was looking for. I think it was worth sending for. Good luck in your search. La Velle

thank you i will try there pat

Barbara Thanks, for the Pike County site. Now I know what some of it looks like. It is beautiful. Hope I will get there some time. Sharon D.

I have Jess Thompsons book on Pike County it list info on the following "Powers" family. Ethel, Annete, James, Nancy,Edward, Jess, Junetta, Maggie & William, E.H., J.P., and Penelope. There is another book Chapmans book it is indexed and on line so someone may be able to do a look up in that for you. I just got my book for Christmas so it is still available. Tammy

Hello; When I checked probate estate papers at court house in Pittsfield, IL., there is a file 530 & 560, both for a Elijah HUMPHERY. one file had as a wife , Karen Happuck. as I recall are very similar. As I recall, one Elijah Humphery died 1844, one maybe 1847. I wish I had made copies of these files, but I did not. I think the census taker miss spelled HUMPHRY / HUMPHERY and put UMPHRY. I had not thought of this spelling, for my Happy Card, married Elijah Humphery. Now I can look at 1850 census for Happy Umphry, as she is not listed as Humphery. Hope this helps some one.

Here is another wonderful site! Pike County Illinois Chamber of Commerce. It has many wonderful pictures of the county and tidbits of old and new. Stop by to take a look at: http://www.pikeil.org/ Have a wonderful evening, Barbara Freeman

My suggestion would be to see if there is a probate record for any Brunaugh's in the courthouse.

I am new on this list and looking for information from Atlas and maybe Pittsfield in Pike County. Normally I lurk longer before posting, to get a social sense of a list, but I got bad news today at the library. I like to pre-survey the literature before raiding the local LDS FHC (which is hardly ever open) so I can get organized in advance and save time. At the regular library I looked up Pike County (and Atlas) in their "Genealogical & Local History Books In Print." YIKES!!!!! THERE AREN'T ANY!!!!!!! The whole county is omitted altogether! Not one lousy book is listed. Not even a picture book. So, now what? I am looking for Benjamin Powers who came to Pike Co. in 1835 and left for Oregon in 1852. There was one death there, a child's, in 1835, and four births, in Atlas and Pittsfield. No marriages. The births are known and peachy. I am looking for what Benjamin Powers did for a living at Atlas and Pittsfield (probably some combination of cabinet maker, miller, and farmer), and for the location of his property. I especially want to know if he picked up his cabinetmaking skills at Pike Co., or if he brought that with him. So, with no books existing in the books in print book, well, now what?
