Hello Jan, I just saw your very generous to do look ups in Pope County. Personally, I would be more than happy to pay you for your time. I am researching the Alexander Murphy and James Murphy families who came to the area sometime prior to the 1818 census. They came from South Carolina originally, although I suspect they may have stopped off in another state at least briefly. They were on the 1810 census in South Carolina. Then they show up in Illinois in 1818. I believe Alexander may have gotten bounty land for 1812 service. There is a warrant for that name in 1816, but the land was in Henry County. Maybe he sold that parcel and bought something in Pope, or maybe it isn't my Alexander Murphy. I just don't know at this point. Anyway, I think the Alexander who shows on the 1818 census is the patriarch. He had a son named Alexander who would have been about 13 in 1818. James Murphy is another grown son, born in 1796. They all came to Illinois and proceeded to produce numerous children and using the names Alexander and James over and over in both lines. I have looked at quite a bit of data myself, but if you would be willing to give me ANY AND ALL REFERENCES TO THE MURPHY NAME, I would be glad to hire you. You have several books that I have not been able to acquire yet, and some I didn't even know existed. I suspect that all the Murphys in Pope are related closely. So anything at all that you can find may help me sort things out. I believe that Alexander I was married to a Sadie or Sarah Jenkins. He probably died before the 1830 census. I know a little more about the more recent ones, because my grandmother was Corda Murphy. She was born in Glendale, Pope County. Her parents were Alexander Murphy and Georgeanne Murphy, who were 2nd cousins. He descended from Alexander II, and she descended from James, his older brother. Anyway, please let me know what you are willing to do. Thanks a lot.

Hi Patricia, My name is Kathy from Clinton Co., IL. It is so nice of you to offer to do a look-up. I will gladly pay you for your time, just let me know how much. If you keep up with the Pope Co. e-mail you have seem my mail before. I've been searching for my Leverett family for over a year with little luck. With all the books you have, you may be my key. I'm looking for Elizabeth Leverett between 1861 and 1872 which is the year she died according to THE BIOGRAPHICAL REVIEW OF JOHNSON, MASSAC, POPE AND HARDING COUNTIES, ILLINOIS, 1893, PP 297 AND 298. Her husband, Martin Leverett died in 1865. The book leads one to believe they died in Pope Co. but I can't find anything to prove it. It could have been Johnson or Saline where the Leverett children pop up over the years. Elizabeth was born abt. 1810 around Henderson Co. N.C.. She married Martin and they moved to Pope Co. by way of Tenn. by 1847-48. He maiden name was Cockrachn. I believe some of her family moved to Pope around 1848 also. She had four daughters that married Reynolds boys in Pope. None of the four Reynolds boys were related that I can find. I cannot find Elizabeth or three of her daugthers, Nancy Reynolds, Sarah Reynolds, or Mary A. Reynolds after 1860. I have lots more info but I don't know what you might need to aid in your search. All help appreciated.
