Just wondered how far back these records go. I have Summers Ancestors that lived in Saline and Williamson Co.

I found a reference from the 1930s and that suggested the two spinster sisters who may have been Reid's daughters had some records including those to one of the iron furnaces in Hardin County where their grandfather clerked. These two sisters either lived in Bowlesville or Saline Mines in southern Gallatin County. I'm not completely certain on the Reid name, but that sounds familiar.

Robert Reid at the Saline Mines. I'm not sure if it came through the Saline Co., Gallatin Co., or Williamson Co. IL. Who ever posted that message I would like to contact you. You had a lot of Partons named and their families in the post. My great Grandfather was Seaborn Banister Parton and my grandmother was Ida Parton Russell.
