BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES OF SETTLERS IN THE 1880 http://www.rootsweb.com/~mnhgs/history.htm

Someone on this list contacted me off list to ask about the Fiske Genealogical Library in Seattle. Unfortunately, I lost her email address, so must reply on list. She is looking for data on Seattle between the years of 1942 and 1960. Here is the URL for this library, including hours (they're not straightforward) and directions. It also gives an idea of the kind of data available. http://www.fiske.lib.wa.us/ In addition, I include the URL for the Seattle Genealogical Society. The two collections don't necessarily overlap. The SGS has a large collection from other parts of the country as well. I used it the other night online to find indexes to early data on Indiana, for instance. http://www.rootsweb.com/~waseags/ Also, if you have time, check out the Seattle Public Library; they may have new data since you were here last. The brand new library has an expanded local history/genealogy section. And don't forget the library and archives at the University of Washington. With all that you may not even see the friends you've ostensibly come to visit! Doris Waggoner Seattle

Thanks for the ideas. I tried to call NIU this afternoon but they are on summer hours, so I'll have to call tomorrow between 8:00 and noon. This particular marriage was in Crete, Will County, IL. The bride's brother is my great grandfather and I know the church he attended. Perhaps it will turn out to be the same one. Thanks again. Joan

I have received several copies. It is a copy from the microfilm of the marriage Register book. Quality depends on the quality of the microfilm and date. The information given will depend on what was asked at that time for that county. Most of the early ones had the date of the license, name of the groom, the name of the bride, when married, by whom married, and when the license was returned. Find out what church the minister was affiliated with. If they were married by a church, there may still be a church record available. Some of those kept much family detail, some did not. Some counties took more detail much earlier. It is worth the dollar and the phone call. Just call during their stated hours of operation and they will send a copy and a bill for a minimum of one dollar. Some will fill requests for more than one marriage at a time. Have all the information from the index at hand including how it is spelled in the index. That speeds the request. You still are asked to wait up to 6 weeks for delivery. I have not had to wait that long yet. If they are on break between semesters, it may take a week or two longer. -Cyndi Sweet

Looking for input on anyone who as requested a marriage license in the 1855-1870 time period from IRAD. I just wondered what information it might contain besides what is online. Joan

I have complained about such advertisements before and was told to ignore it as that only draws more attention to it. I I am thinking about unsubscribing. I don't have this kind of stuff coming through on any of my other mailing lists. YET!!

Why, Why is this on here.

Dear Listers: It seems to me some people will do anything to make a buck! These spammer's have found another way to be intrusive with deception. Which only goes to show ya, if they start off being deceptive, what make you think their honest about what their trying to sell. This is very appalling to say the least.

I noticed at familysearch.com, there is an entry for one Cassius Gellespie who was born in 1844 in Illinois, maybe related to yours? The person who entered it also put in a mother and father for him. You might want to write and see if he knows more. William W. Shugarts (Jr.) 1608 Windybush Road Wilmington, DE 19810-4438 Joan

Well here's a start for you from the Illinois State Archives online marriage index. They have many indexes so you should start your search there. I did a global search last night for someone but today the site won't cooperate. Maybe late evening is the best time to try. GILLESPIE, CASSIUS W MARTIN, ELIZABETH 02/01/1876 00H/0019 MC LEAN This is who he married in 1876 in McLean County, IL. Familysearch.com also shows a Cashiues Gillespie as a 14 year old in the 1880 census in Illinois with his parents Henry and Marthy and 5 brothers and 3 sisters. I'd consider this too. It's just a matter of a little further digging now. Incidentally the marriage license number is 00H/0019 and there are directions on the site for ordering a copy. Joan in Illinois

Surnames: Wadford-Watford-Wolford-Walford-Woodford-Whitford-Hubbard Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Fh.2ADI/5888 Message Board Post: I am researching my maternal genealogy of my great grandfather, William Henry Whadford. My aunt recounts a story in the late 1960’s when she and my uncle drove from their Colorado home to Walter Reed Medical Centerto visit a very ill relative, down to Miami and back to Colorado and along their journey, she spotted from the roadway a statue-possible headstone with the name of WHADFORD on it and an old country store with the same name spelled exactly the same way. They were unable to stop and investigate and of course she now wished she had. Our Whadford surname spelling is unique and through all my years of research, I have never been able to find a listing of another person living or deceased with that exact same spelling that was not known to me. I’ve researched variations of Wadford, Watford, Wolford, Walford, Woodford, Whitford, etc. without success. Here is what we know about my g-grandfather: Great-grandfather William Henry Whadford was supposedly born September 15, 1862(?) in Alabama(?) approximately during the Civil War years (different years on different censuses) and the tale told is that his family may have originally come from the Carolinas and/or Georgia to perhaps Newton, Dale County, Alabama, where he may have been born. He was orphaned at a young age when his family may have died in a "plague" possibly on a river(house)boat and the story has it he was discovered alone after a couple of days. At some point, he was sent to live with an “uncle” in Florida, but ran away with “cousins” when he was a young boy and they ended in Texas with another possible “uncle.” The family is able to trace him from his first marriage to Mary E. Havens on October 25, 1885 in Rains County, Texas where he had worked building Sulpher Springs Road. They had a son, William Henry Whadford Jr. born Oct. 15, 1886 in Sulpher Springs, Ho! pkins County, Texas and Mary soon died afterwards. My g-grandfather then married Sminthie Ellen Matlock (b. Sept. 4, 1874 Marlin, Falls County, Texas) on Jan. 14, 1889 at Cureo, Dewitt County, Texas. They had six children: Leona Josephine (f) b. Mar. 20, 1890 at Cuero, Dewitt County, Texas Bonnie Monroe (m) b. Jan. 15, 1892 at Edna, Jackson County, Texas Jessie Winnie (f) b. Sept. 26, 1893 at Edna, Jackson County, Texas Maude Belle (f) b. Jun. 26, 1895 at Edna, Jackson County, Texas Lillie Mae (f) b. Mar. 5, 1898 at Edna, Jackson County, Texas Charles Henry Claude (m) b. Jan. 9, 1902 at Paonia, Delta County, Colorado The found censuses of William Henry are: The 1900 census of Montgomery County, Texas lists: William Henry Whadford, w, m, born-Sept, year-1865 age last birthday is 30 or 39 and he is a logger (possibly in the San Jacinto Range) and his unknown parents were born in Alabama. The census date is June 4th, 1900. The 1910 Delta County, Colorado census lists: William H. Whadford, m, w, age 47 (birthyear 1863?) and as a survivor (dependent?) of the Civil War and that his father was born in Alabama and his mother was born in Florida. The census date is April 18th, 1910. The 1920 Delta County, Colorado census lists: William H. Whadford, m, w, age 56 (birthyear 1864?) and both his parents were born in North Carolina. The census date is Jan. 24th, 1920. The 1930 Delta County, Colorado census lists: William H. Wadford, m, w, age 66 (birthyear 1864?) and his father was born in South Carolina and his mother was born in Alabama. The census date is April 10th, 1930. William Henry died September 23, 1939 and is buried at Cedar Hill Cemetery, Delta County, Colorado. Recently, I finally found an Alabama census listing a Willie Wadford approximately the same age as my g-grandfather may/would have been. I included this information as the Hubbard last name may be some type of clue or tie you may recognize to the WHADFORD name/statue/country store. It is the 1870 census of Shelby County, Hillsboro, P.O., Alabama, page 423. I cannot clearly make out Ms. Wadford's first name. The listing is: Hubbard, James D. age 24, M, W, Farmer b. Alabama. Mollie, age 20, F, W, Keeping house, b. Alabama. Walter R. or B., age 1 , M, W, At Home, b. Alabama. Wadford, ? (Annie, (N)Annie, Ammie short for Amelia?), age 25, F, W, At Home, b. Alabama. Wadford, Willie, age 4, M, W, At Home, b. Alabama. My thoughts are perhaps Ms. Wadford may have been a sister (some type of relative) to James D. or Mollie Hubbard, but she could have been only a boarder. I cannot locate any information on the Hubbards as well. It’s my hope someone may remember or recognize the statue/country store and point me in a search direction, offer any ideas or put me in contact with someone who may be able to offer more search possibilities.
