They lived in Chicago during the late 1930s when she wrote about the Old Slave House. She is descended somehow from the Russells who settled in Williamson County. I think her father taught John Mulcaster in school and both John and Barbara were members of an early historical society in Jackson County, or at least two active researchers in the area. In 1939 she published a book on Williamson County called Pioneer Folks and Places (I think). The Williamson County Historical Society has nice hardbound reprints for sale.

Barbara Burr Hubbs, the mid-20th Century Williamson County historian wrote a short booklet on them. --------------------- Yes, I was just about to make that suggestion...... here is a clue for that family in Williamson.... History of Gallatin, Saline, Hamilton, Franklin and Williamson Counties, Illinois Chicago: The Goodspeed Publishing Co., 1887 (Reprint edition by: F.A.G.S.) John Q. Russell (deceased), farmer, was born in 1825 in Williamson County, the son of Samuel T. and Percilla (Tyner) Russell. The father, born in Montgomery County, Tenn., in 1798 of Irish stock, came in 1816 with his brother-in-law, W. Campbell, to Illinois, prospecting. He returned, and in 1817 brought back a drove of cattle. His father, Phillip, also came and settled on the farm now owned by W. Hindeman. Phillip was a soldier at the surrender of Cornwallis, and carried a bullet in his body to his grave. Samuel settled the farm now by his son, Cass, and was a remarkable man in memory and information, although never having received but six months' school training. He was as familiar with scripture as jurists are with statutes, and during his twenty-six years as justice he never had a decision reversed. He was never sued, and was the first deputy sherriff in Williamson County. He was worth about $20,000 at one time, and died in 1877. He was married three times. Percilla, our subjects mother, was born in Tennessee, and died in 1846. Their children are John Q. (deceased), Mary J. (wife of Solomon Snyder), James H. (deceased), Eliza (wife of Samuel V. Panter), Susan (wife of Martin Snyder), Matha E. (wife of J. C. Clark), and Felix B.. John Q. was educated in the common schools, and left home at twenty-two. In 1848 he married Mary M., daughter of Jonathan and Elizabeth Emerson, born in Posey County, Ind., in 1833. Their children are Samuel T., William J., Laura (wife of M. Bush), Eliza (wife of J. B. Hudson), Annice, Lollie and Emma. He then settled in Eight Mile Precinct, and bought eighty acres, where he passed his life, and became owner of a large estate. He died February 4, 1885, since then his wife and children have lived on the old place. She is a member of the Christian Church. Best Regards, Trev

Hi Saline's Lists, I prayed you can help me on finding my great grandparents, John Henry Carter and his wife Mary Alice Souther. I would like to know for sure what county are from or township, district. Does anybody have the access to the Census in Illinois? John Henry Carter was born August 26, 1869, do not know for sure if he was born in Illinois. His wife, Mary Alice Souther, was born April 28, 1872 or 1873, and also do not know for sure if she was born in Illinois, but it is according to my deceased aunt information that they was born in Illinois. John Henry Carter and Mary Alice Souther have 5 children: Blanch Carter Viva Carter Omer Carter Charlie Carter Beulah Sally Carter, born in Texas in 1901. So between 1890 to 1900, they was in Illinois before they moved to Texas to have my granny Beulah Carter. John Henry Carter's parents are William and Sarah Carter and they have 5 children that I only know of: Sam Carter, Albert Carter, Willie Carter, John Henry Carter, and ?---zo Carter of Illinois. Mary Alice Souther's mother is Martha Souther, for we do not know what is her father name, but they have 6 children: Andrew Souther Earnest Souther Sally Souther Furenda Souther William Souther Mary Alice Souther, born 1872 or 1873. Can anybody help me know my family's roots? PLEASE!!! Any information is so much appreciated. Thanks. Teresa Young from Oklahoma

Dear Myrta, I surely wish I could have the pleasure of your company this weekend, but I'm not able to make this trip. Sure wish I could, I would enjoy meeting any of ya's that I have corresponded with the last few years. Don't forget, pass the word about our list :-)... maybe that will find some new connections for those who are staying close to the house... Best Regards, Trev PS...

Steve: I believe we have "talked" private before. Looking back at old printed out emails from Dec, I found a "Steve" had sent me the Descendants of Harmon RISTER. Bet that was you!. Couldn't connect them at that time and still no more information on Clyde. If you can help with him, I would appreciate hearing from you via email again. Watch out for this heat going South. Sure wish I could be there! Maybe next year.....

Hi, The college is approx. 5 miles east of Harrisburg on Highway RT. 13 (going towards Shawneetown) You should be able to see the college from Rt. 13. It will be a group of brick buildings and a water tower on a hill looking left from Rt. 13. Turn left (north) off of Rt. 13 onto College Dr. The college is approx. one-half mile off of Rt. 13. The Saline County Courthouse will be open Saturday 9-4 and Sunday 9-2. It will be the only courthouse open this year. The genealogy library is one block east of the courthouse in the basement of Harrisburg city hall.

Anybody researching DEWEY? Julia DEWEY, widow of Edward J. DEWEY, married my gg uncle Elisha HUTCHINSON Jan 11, 1900. I sent for and received Elisha's Civil War pension file. Among the many pages is the "Certificate of Honorable Service" (Civil War) for her first husband, Edward J. DEWEY. If this is your relative, I will be happy to send this to you.
