Hi Susan which Lauderdale line are you researching? I descend from John and Pheobe (Reese) Lauderdale. I have accumulated a lot of data through out the years on his descendants as well as his brothers. I have a couple that I have not been able to fit in was wondering if you could maybe shed any light on it for me. Cindy L.

Well since, for the third day in a row AOL is so over loaded nothing will open but email, I guess its time to write some. Surnames: Lauderdale, Grisham, Moyers, Chambliss Related names: Austin, Sistler, Walters, Robinson, Whiteside, Shufflebarger (any spelling). Also have Barnhill, Glass, Brush, Hannah, and just about any other name in Pope county. The census books have been reprinted and are available from the Southern Illinois Genealogy Society. I can't find what I did with the URL and can't get into Google (or anything else for that matter) to get it for you.
