Will print out what I have and send you a copy. I would also appreciate you sharing your side of the family after we get your blanks filled. That O.K. with you? Hope to hear from you soon.

There is a Lady buried in the Rice Cemetery in Saline County, Illinois that the Rice researchers have tried to identify as our 2nd great-grandmother but even the State Archives and Saline County have no information on her. It is said that almost everyone interned there is Rice related. The stone has ELIZABETH GRIFFIN b. 31 June 1812 d. 7 September 1887 In Franklin County, Tennessee Elizabeth Rice (2nd great-grandmother) after the death of our 2nd Great-grandfather, she married a William Griffin/Griffith. Both surnames have been used. My question is if any of the Griffin researchers can supply me with information on the identity of this Lady.

Would some one look up in 1860 or 1870 Saline Co., Ill. census for a William T. Tate born about 1818. I would like to know where he gives his birth place? Also for his wife? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Jim

I have this information on these kids, as my family maintains this cemetery. William P. Griffin who deeded the land for cemetery purposes is my g grandfather. I the only problem on Isaac, I do not know if other kids were born of that marriage or from what family of Bakers he came from. If anyone runs across this information, I would like to have it.

To: William Hicks [whicks@qwestinternet.net] Searching: HICKS/FOLLOWELL/WOMACK/RICE/BAKER/CLARK/GULLEDGE/RAWLINS/GRINDSTAFF/in Saline County Dear Bill, I noticed that you have RAWLINS and GRINDSTAFF surnames in your list and wondered if perhaps we were researching any of the same people? My William RAWLINS was born in OH around 1800. He is the son of Wm. RAWLINS & Nancy MARSHALL. My William's 1st wife was Elizabeth BENNETT. My William's 2nd wife was Leatha Harper whom he married on 30 Sep 1830 in Lawrence OH. William died on 10 Oct 1875 in Raleigh TWP IL The son of Wm. RAWLINS and Leatha HARPER was also a William RAWLINS. This son William married Letha Elizabeth 'Sis' GRINDSTAFF on 22 Nov 1876 in Saline Co. Their children included Darius, Hillery and Charles PRICE. One of the daughters of Wm. RAWLINS and Leatha HARPER was Nancy RAWLINS. This daughter Nancy married Preston N. GRINDSTAFF dob unknown, Preston served in the Civil War and died ca 1864.. Maybe we have a match? If not, perhaps you wouldn't mind telling me which RAWLINS and GRINDSTAFF people are in your tree. I have a lot of other RAWLINS folks in my tree. Susan

Pope Co. Baker infants: Willie F. Baker son of I. L and Sarah Baker d. May 22, 1881 age 1 yr. 5 m. 7 days. Samantha J. Baker, Dau of I.L. and S. A. Baker d. Aug 9 1878 age 1 yr. 6 m. 5 days. Have all the Griffins in this cemetery if you need them Susan

James.... Would your friend (in W.V.) have a need for the biographies of the various Bakers listed in the 1923 History of W.V. There are several including Charles G. Baker, E.Reese Baker, George C. Baker, John M. Baker, Robert W. Baker and William Baker...some are very extensive histories of their families. You are welcome to contact me privately and I will be glad to extract the information if needed. I have the three volume history the first volume is the "Historical" written by J.M. Callahan and the other two volumes are biographies of people.

Bill, Please don't forget me on the Morris family. I have bits and pieces, not a lot on your immediate family. I've been reading a book on 1700s North Carolina and it looks to me like the Morris ancestors may have come into N.C. with a Welsh group and possibly even a Scotch-Irish group in the 1700s and William left as the land got scarce. Cousin, Ernie

Johnny, Was your great uncle, Bill BIXLER related to Alfred Bixler of Three Rivers, Michigan? He married my great aunt Leona (Lena) HUTCHINSON of Harrisburg in Three Rivers in 1905. Kathryne

Sarah (ROMINES) ANDERSON died between the 1870 and 1880 censuses. In 1870 she was living with her son Henry Clay Anderson. She was a prior resident of Saline and Gallatin Counties and came from Warren County KY. Can anyone help me find a date and place of death? Kevin

Folks, I hate to butt in here. I just wanted to say I have Baker kin in Pope county by the name of Isaac Baker, who married Sarah Ann M. Griffin on 10 Jan 1877. I have also a friend that lives in West Virginia, who has Baker family buried here in Illinois somewhere around north of Eldorado and has connections to this area. If any of this rings a bell, please let me know. The Isaac Baker, of whom I mentioned, I don't know anything about his family etc. I do know they had at least two children, both died young in age and is buried in my family cemetery, The Griffin cemetery, near Bell Smith Springs, Pope County.
