Karen, I was visiting a relative in Moline, Illinois a couple of years ago and we drove over to Rock Island and I remember when we drove by this one cemetery there on the Arsenal grounds, she told me that was a Civil War cemetery where confederate soldiers were buried. There were markers but I didn't get close enough to see what type of inscriptions they had. Here are a couple of sites I found which have pictures of the cemetery you might want to look at: http://www.discoveringthe6.com/day_5_19_00.htm http://www.geocities.com/sixth_tennessee/graves.html Bettye ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, July 20, 2003 3:53 PM Subject: [RockIsl'd] Rock Island Prison Cemetery - Civil War > Dear Listers: > > I have recently discovered that D.R.

Dear Listers: I have recently discovered that D.R. Zimmerman died at Rock Island Prison Camp during the Civil War and is buried in. Grave #1022. Does anyone know if it's possible if there would be a grave marker? Karen

A BIG thank you to everyone that replied to my query about John W. Jones. I appreciate everyone that took time to reply, and I got some good leads to follow up on! Diane

Diane, There was a John Jones who was a minister of the RLDS church who came from Wales. If you go to the Henry Co, IL website they have a section on the Reformed LDS church and a list of the parishers who attended. My ancestors, George and Margaret Jones moved first to Hyde Park, NY and then to Kewanee, IL from Wales in the 1860's. They were members of this church as well. Their daughter, Catherine "Cassie" married into my Mercer line. Her brother George, Jr. moved to Iowa.

Thanks, Dick, for letting me know about this older John Jones b. in Wales. I'll check him out, he could definitely be a possible father for John W. (especially living so close by). Diane

In 1870 Coal Valley twp., on the same page as John & Hannah, is a 71 y/o retired miner John Jones. born Wales. May you live to be a hundred, with an extra year to repent!

I too have Jones relatives who were coal miners in Coal Valley, Illinois. My gggrandfather was Owen Jones a coal minor from Wales who married Mary Ann Webb in 1862. Owen and his brother Robert both came to the US about the same time I think. There may have been another family member, Daniel. Between the two brothers, Owen and Robert, they had about 22 children. Was John W related to John F Jones from that area? Coal Valley was not a big place, so it could be our Jones are in the same line. Maybe we can share information.

I'm looking for any information on John W. Jones from Coal Valley, he served in the Civil War in the 126th Illinois infantry, Co. H. He was a coal miner, and after the war he went back to coal mining and also married Hannah Jenkins in Rock Island county in 1866. They left there sometime in the 1870's and moved to Mahaska Co.

Hi there, I am hoping someone out there can help. I am looking for Clyde Webster, born abt. 1892 in Maryland, he married Ella, who was born abt. 1905 in Illinois. The best I can figure is they were married abt. 1922. In the 1930 census they are found in Rock Island, Illinois, the children at that time are Beulah, born abt. 1923, Helen, born abt. 1924, Grant, born abt. 1926 and Audrey Clyde, born December 2, 1927 (my link). I know there were more brothers (not sure about sisters), but believe there was a William. Dad, A.C. (Webb) was a fighter pilot in the Navy and married Christeen Cantrell and they had 5 children, David Allen, Sandy, Shirley, Crystal and Thomas E. Dad died in December, 1982 and mom died in December, 1976. I am hitting a brick wall trying to find Clyde's and Ella's parents and siblings. Would appreciate any and all information that one may have. Thank you. Linda Webster

Hi, Pat I have been working on cemeteries, but that one is a very hard one, there is two of them, Old Riverside and New Riverside. I hope to have the listings for both sometime this summer, if I come across the name, I will keep you in mind. But I don't have time to do lookups for anyone, I don't think the cemetery is listed any where on the Net. I will keep your email, just in case I see the name. Thank you, Julie And Thanks for stopping by My web site. ----- Original Message ----- Wrom: RNVWWCUFPEGAUTF Sent: Monday, July 07, 2003 3:54 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [RockIsl'd] Riverside Cemetery Hi I am looking for someone with listing of the Riverside Cem - have found an ancestor - name of John Grube - was buried there on Dec 29, 1918.
