Posted on: Sangamon County, Il Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/Sangamon/1836 Surname: Stout ------------------------- Philemon Stout Sr. is mentioned in History of Sangamon County, as are his descendants. Is there an obituary available for this fellow. He died in 1936 according to the book. Contact can be made at TLDean7001@cs.com Many thanks.

Veronica, I have some information to help locate his parish. Did you know that the Catholic church publishes a yearly directory (since 1833) called "The Official Catholic Directory". This volume contains every single priest, religious, parish and other similar stats in the country. You might ask a look-up from the Archdiocese of Chicago Catholic Archives at info@chgocatholicarchives.org Also, the Catholic church maintains a web site regarding specifically to locating diocese and parish information. The main site address is http://home.att.net/~Local_Catholic/ The site address for the diocese of Springfield, Illinois is http://www.dio.org/ and for their parishes online http://home.att.net/~Local_Catholic/CatholicUS-ChicagoIL.htm At the last address, scroll down the page till you reach it as it lists all the dioceses in Illinois. I hope this helps in your quest.

My newfound gg uncle John Samuel WIEDENKELLER was born in Switzerland about 1837....emigrated to the USA about 1857...apparently settled in Greenville, Sangamon County, Illinois. That is the city he used as his place of residence when he signed on to fight with a Sangamon County regiment during the Civil War. He entered as a private (1861) in the 14th Illinois Infantry Regiment, Company G and was mustered out on June 18, 1864 as a Corporal. His half brother (John Jacob FATZER) is my gg grandfather. Their mother, Maria (KASER) FATZER, was first married to a WIEDENKELLER. She is buried in the Langley Cemetery in Christian County. According to the 1870 Christian County census, John Samuel WIEDENKELLER was living in Taylorville, Christian County just a stone's throw from the FATZER family. John was living with his wife Margaretta (can't make out the last name) and a one year old son named Frederick. Census locator data: family #17, line #37, page 2. A "dogpile.com" search found some WIEDENKELLERs still living in the area. I am looking for descendents of the John and Margaretta WIEDENKELLER. ...Margaretta's maiden name (if anyone can read it) would be a bonus! Thanks! - Tom Wilson Boca Raton, FL

Listmates - Just thought I would share this letter with you (written in 1864) from one brother to another....both fighting for different Illinois regiments. It has some historical and military significance...and, if you interested in some of the surnames included (GUENTHER, MIHALOTZY, WIEDENKELLER AND FATZER)....some genealogical interest. If anyone on the list can tell me about the "Rathgever" (suspect a German language newspaper based in Sangamon or Christian County), I would appreciate it. My interests are the surnames WIEDENKELLER and FATZER. Enjoy! - Tom Wilson (cut and pasted letter below) Letter from John Samuel WIEDENKELLER to Johan Jacob FATZER (1864) About the letter: q The writer is John Samuel WIEDENKELLER, a Swiss immigrant whose residence during the Civil War was Greenville, Sangamon County, Illinois. John fought with Company G., 14th Illinois Infantry Regiment, 1st Brigade, 4th Division. q The letter is written to John's half brother, Johan Jacob FATZER, who was, at the time, serving with Company E, 24th Illinois Infantry. Jacob would finish the war in the service of the 1st Division, 14th Army Corp. of the Army of the Cumberland under General Sherman, as an engineer.. John's mother married Ulrich Paul FATZER after her first husband died in the late 1830s. Jacob was born in Hertten, near Romanshorn, Switzerland in 1841. Jacob was a resident of Alton, Illinois during the Civil War. (Jacob is my great great grandfather). q The letter was transcribed from German to English in 1986. q Maria, mentioned in the letter, is a sister of Jacob and a half-sister of John. q Rudolph is a brother. q The interpreter believes the "Rathgever" is a newspaper…don't know where it was in operation at the time….Sangamon County? Christian County? Apparently, Rudolph worked there during the War. q The letter was written from a camp at Big Black River on April 12, 1864. q Both men settled in Taylorville, Christian County, Illinois after the war (source: 1870 census of Taylorville) q Hopefully, any military secrets conveyed by this letter are moot by now! (letter as follows) Dear Brother: I received you letter last night on the 11th and with fear, I waited for it the last two days. There is a man, George Guenther, who received a letter from his brother, Phillip Guenther, who is in the same regiment as you. Something must be wrong with the mail as your letter got here the same day I got to the company. I know you have a reconnaissance in force and Colonel Mihalotzy got killed. You buried him in Chattanooga, therefore, I lived in fear that something happened to you. I am happy about the association with Phillip Guenther because if something happened to my brother, I could hear from him. Right now, George (Guenther) writes a letter to his brother, too, and his letter will reach him the same time my letter reaches you. We are still at camp on the Black River. The lines have moved back and we are very thankful for it. Our army corps are banked on the river. On the 16th, we will go north and meet with the Cumberland Army of the Potomac. It is sure that we from the 14th and 15th Illinois Volunteers that didn't enlist won't go. Write me when the regiment is mustered because I think you will be released with them. >From Maria, I had a letter the 6th of this month, and I am waiting for another answer. I had addressed the letter to all in the house and not just Maria, but Maria answered alone and not the others. I will write another letter to Mervin and then I will write a letter to mother and address one to Rudolph in care of "Rathgever" (newspaper?) because Rudolph works there. I think it is quite amazing that when you write to one member of the family you don't get an answer from him, but you get an answer to someone else. I guess you move around a bit and have a lot of work. Sometimes, I am only capable of sending you greetings from someone else. When I have written some letters from Tennessee and as well as Missouri, I will tell you more about it. I still have to write a couple of letters. There are other people who will be happy about hearing from us. Your brother, John S. Wiedenkeller Co. G. 14th Illinois Regiment Infantry, 1st Brigade, 4th Division, 17….. (end of letter)

Would someone be kind to do a lookup in the 1865 and 1870 census for Irving, George. In the 1860 census he was living with G.D. Stockton. If still there, what other names were listed in the household? George Irvings wifes name was Elizabeth, we think or was it listed as another name for the wife? Thanks for the help. Avie

Hi all, Another researcher and I keep running into MAURER's connected to our families and are wondering if anyone is researching that line and knows where they came from in Germany. The lines they are interspersing with are REISCH and MATHEIS. I believe the REISCH's are from Niederhausen and MATHEIS are from Edesheim. Thank you, Patty

I don't have any information on John DAVENPORT's parents. I am researching his wife's line and am hoping to find information about his and Lydia Skeen's descendants. Do you know of anyone who can help me?

Marilyn, To my knowledge, I am not connected to the Davis family of Petersburgh. The first I know of my Davis family is in 1844 when John Davis married Emilla Evans, both of Island Grove. John was born about 1814 in PA and I know none of his relatives. But what do you know about Petersburgh Davises? Margarette Davis
