Fox I think I once saw in the background of a picture of the Donner Party in Springfield, IL. I would have seen the picture in a documentary movie. Donner party in Springfield would place the picture around or before April 16, 1846 if my understanding is correct. Does anyone have a copy of such a picture? Are there research resources for old Springfield businesses you can recommend? Thanks for any assistance!

You also can send a listing of items with description to the Illinois State Historical Library in the Old State Capital Building to see if anything would meet the critia for their collection.

I know that Nancy's maiden name was Bagby. She and John were married in Sangamon County in 1849. There are also five Bagbey children listed: 2 males ages 16 and 14 whose names are difficult to read but probably start with D, Eliza age 12, Mary age 9, William age 6. All children born in Illinois. My records indicate that my ancester Nancy Bagby Shelton was born in Illinois, possibly White County or Sangamon County. Martha Bagby married John Shelton's brother Eleven Shelton, probably a sister of Nancy. If anyone can shed light on this Bagbey/Bagby family, I would appreciate hearing from you. Kathryn

Don't know of one in Sangamon County but there is the "bellevillenewsdemocrat". If you are not familiar with Illinois, Belleville is south of Sangamon County closer to St. Louis. You may want to check their site to see if there is anything on their history or if there is an email contact you can make. http://www.belleville.com/mld/belleville/ [email protected] wrote: >This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > >Surnames: News-Democrat newspaper Dr. George Zellar >Classification: Query > >Message Board URL: > >http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/xg.2ADI/2612 > >Message Board Post: > >The News and Democrat Newspapers were combined in 1883. >Can any one tell me if these newspapers were in Sangamon Co, IL?

I have found some references (barely legible) in the probate records (circa 1858-60) of my gr-gr-gr-grandfather, Joseph Klein Jr. The property that is now the fairgrounds belonged to him, and the Klein St. you reference is named for him. Joseph Klein Jr. was white, but I believe he may have been buried at the church, if there was a cemetery. His son is buried in a cemetery in Missouri which is now an African-American Methodist Episcopal Cemetery. Abraham Lincoln was Joseph's lawyer for several land dealings. I am very interested in whether Joseph Klein's involvement with the church was simply as landlord, or, as I suspect, he was in someway connected with the church.

Have forwarded this inquiry to someone in Rochester area for research. If you do not find anyone, I am sure there would be military museums, etc. who would LOVE to have the pilot's log, etc. Please don't just destroy them! D. Ross, Rochester, IL

Here is information I have on the Fielding Harrison whose son, Peyton Harrison, married into my Cartwright family. Fielding Harrison, born 1777, Rockingham County, Virginia. Married Anna Quinn, born ca. 1779, at Culpeper, Virginia. They were married in Culpeper and made their home in Rockingham County until they had one child. They moved in 1805, to Christian County, Kentucky, where they had five more children and from there moved to Sangamon County, Illinois, arriving in November of 1822, at the north side of Richland Creek, in what is now Salisbury Township.

I havent even looked through them all yet but have a pilot's log from his days in the US Army with dates 1942/43. After Jesse died his wife Carol Rule Beck married my father and then she died in Dec 2003. They had no living children. I would like to get this trunk of stuff that belonged to him to some family that would appreciate it. Any contact we have as a family are with Carol's family not Jesse's. I hate to just get rid of it. Surely someone would want it. Please contact me if interested.

The Harreld family you are inquiring about arrived in Washington County Iowa from Sangamon County Illinois in 1835.

I think you are probably right about the definition of OSP. The article you noted certainly tells me much more than I previously knew about John G. Bergen and his ministry in Springfield.

I looked up some history on Rev. Bergen who has a park named after him in Springfield, IL. He was the first pastor of 1st Pres in Springfield. Go to their website (http://www.first-pres-church.org/), if you haven't already, to find more info on him. There's an excellent and must-read article about him in their March 2003 newsletter. You could also email that church and ask what OSP means!

Surnames: Harreld Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/xg.2ADI/2609 Message Board Post: I am looking for anyone that might information on who Samuel Harreld and William Harreld were, who were listed back to back on the 1830 census of Sangamon Co, Alexander,. IL. Also on the same page is John Harreld, who I would like to think was my ggggrandfather, as I know he was living in Springfield, IL in 1830. However, the number of persons living in the household don't match the number of children he had, unless he had other family members living with he and his wife? John Harreld's olderst son, my gggrandfather, Anderson F. Harreld, named his oldest son, William Sameul Harreld, who was my ggrandfather. Therefore, I thought perhaps the Samuel and William listed on this census may have been brothers to my ggggrandfather, John. I have looked for many years for the family of John Harreld. If anyone at all might be able to identify this particular Sameul and William Harreld, both listed as between the ages of 30 and 40, I would surely love to hear from you.

Thank you very much for sharing your album!! I do not think that I have any direct connecitons to you family but had family in the Springfield area so appreciate the glimpses!! Anne in Aurora IL
