Dear Patricia: How very thought of you to respond to my plight, and so kind of you to do look up for me and send me advice, and very good advice I might add. I guess that I just did not think to write to the county and I should have done that when I located her obituary last year. I will do that right away. I will let you know. I copied off your letter and will let you know if I find her, and I bet you are right, I bet they will have something on her burial site. Regina Bruner Markowicz Troy, Michigan

Regina, Pope County has a lot of cemeteries, only the ones in part of the county have been enumerated. I looked in those books for her name and didn't find it. It might be a good idea to write to the county courthouse and see if they have her death record, since you know when she died they should be able to find it. I usually send them a check for $5.00 or $10.00 to cover the cost and they will send back the copies. So, that might list where she was buried. If the cemetery has not been enumerated, it may be hard to find, but they may be able to tell you where it is, too. If not you might contact the Pope County Historical Society (P.O. Box 837 Golconda, IL 62938) and see if they may have something on it. Hipe that helps.

Regina Saw this message and couln't help but note that your ancestor had many of the same characteristics of someone I've been searching for. I had a Sarah Amanda Hughes Waters born bet. 1807 and 1812 that I've been unable to trace. Her parents settled in Kentucky then New Madrid MO and ultimately Pope Co. Was your ancestor's maiden name Hughes or something else? Livingston Co is just across from Pope and Massac. Ida Cheek -- Rmarkowi@aol.com wrote: Judy, so very good to hear from you. I just hookup to the Pope County Sight. Do not know what took so long. Seems like we have been corresponding since old Prodigy Days back in the late 1980s when that was all that was available. Time have been good to we genealogist. I just found the death place of my Great Great Grandmother, Eliza (Elizabeth) Sarah Hughes Covington, born ca. 1812, died 23 Oct 1872 in Pope County. I found the entry in a Massac County book. I knew the family had property there and that she was left behind when her six sons left for the Kansas land rush. I spent years looking for her in Livingston County, KY where she and George Washington Covington raised their family of 10 children from the time he was given his first land grant in 1836. This is what I wrote in my files: "On May 19, 2005, I discovered the death notice, at last, of Eliza as published in the "Massac County Memories Book, Vol IV," on page 365. This book was compiled and published in 2000 by committed historian of Metropolis, Illinois, Paul Fellows. He has worked very hard to preserve local history and I am very grateful for his years of dedication and effort. In the past he has located materials I have sought on our family history in Metropolis and the surrounding area without charge, and for this I am grateful. At last, we have a date of death and place for Eliza. It has taken me 30 years. The article does not indicate the exact place but I assume it must have been in New Liberty, a town too small to have a newspaper, near Galconda on the Ohio River just a few miles east of Metropolis and of what is now I-24. Incidentally, the administrator for her estate if James C. Covington, her son, who by the time of his mother's death must be, along with his other brothers and family members, in Kansas. Or, perhaps, the reason she did not travel with them was that she was already deceased. I will now have to look for her burial place. Judy, would you please tell me if she is listed in your books. I believe all the Covingtons would be mine, as well as Eliza, if there are any. I also believe I searched your books several times but my memory is slipping. I would be deeply appreciative. Regina Bruner Markowicz Troy, Michigan

Dear IDA: Yes, my Great Great Grandmother was Eliza (Elizabeth) Hughes, born in about 1810 (sorry I had indicated it was 1812) in Dinwiddie County, Virginia to William Hughes and Patsy Martha Stith. Martha died in Livingston County, KY while living near her daughter and other children. William HughesSr., in 1833 in Virginia. The rest of the family went on the Livingston County in the 1830s and lived on the Covington farm on the Ohio River across from New Liberty and between Ledbetter and Smithland on the Kentucky side. It seemed as though the Hughes spread out all over both sides of the river. I have not located the burial site for Eliza but it must be near New Liberty in Pope County. There are a lot of similarities with your family. Regina from Troy, Michigan

Thanks to everyone who responded on my question re Boulden Cemetery. Ida

Judy, I do not know if I ever mentioned this to you, I think not. My Great Aunt, Martha "MATTIE" Covington, born 1839 in Livingston County, Daughter of Elizabeth Sarah Covington, married Dr. William A. Lee of Paducah who was born in about 1835.and died in 1876. They had five children, my cousins, William, Charles, Robert E. Lee, Ida, and Belle Lee who married a Madden. I have been unable to locate any of the living family. I was told, and believe I have now confirmed that William was the first cousin to Robert E. Lee. Does this family sound familiar?

I found a picture of the class of 1934-35 Golconda Jr High Basketball Team. I need help with the names of the 8 other team members & coach, my Dad, Burl "Butch" Foreman Jr [born 31 Aug 1921] is in the back row, 2nd from the right. I also have a picture of the Golconda Grade School, it looks like Dad's in 1st or 2nd grade [1926-27 or 28]. Any help out there? Or if anyone wants a copy I can email it to you. As you can tell I'm scanning old pictures.
