I am also working on old diaries in 1800s with the same objective in mind. Recently read an article in news about a town "New Philadelphia" near Barry. I will be tracking progress on data collection there based on content of some old letters, etc. from Hannibal and Louisiana, MO. Really want others to have access to history of Pike Co, IL.
