Alex Reeves is listed on page 19, not page 1. Apparently there was no census listings on page one as our transcription starts with page 2. We do have the microfilm for 1830, 1840, 1850, 1855, 1860, 1865, 1870, 1880, 1900, 1910 and 1920 available for viewing at the society office on Tuesday nights the remainder of April. Directions to the office are listed below for those who might be interested in visiting the society. The information on Alex Reeves is as follows: 1 male 40-50, 2 females 5-10, 1 female 10-15, 2 females 15-20, 1 female 30-40. This information comes from the Federal Census 1840 Sangamon County, Illinois transcribed by Ruth Marko and published by the Sangamon County Genealogical Society, September 1980. The book is still in print and is available through the society via the following web page: _http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilsangam/scgs/scgs-pub.htm_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilsangam/scgs/scgs-pub.htm) Dan Dixon - President/Editor PO Box 1829 (Mailing Address) Springfield, IL 62705-1829 Email: Dbutton2@aol.com Phone: 217-529-0542 Sangamon County Genealogical Society Office Library 2856 South 11th Street (approx. 3 blocks north of Stevenson Drive and approx. 2 1/2 blocks south of Bunn Golf Course) Springfield, Illinois Phone: 217-529-0542 Email: Dbutton2@aol.com Open Tuesday Nights 5:30 to 9:00 or by appointment Web Address: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilsangam/scgs/scgs.htm ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Cheryl, I thought of that, too....that the first page is simply missing but.....Alex Reeves is in the index. They had page one long enough to see his name. ;o) The link takes you to the other half of page one. I was hoping that the local genealogy society or library had the 1840 census. Is there somewhere that I can call or write to get a copy? Thanks for checking. Carole

It could be the first page is missing. Heritage Quest does not have the 1840 Census so I can't check there.

Page #1a is missing on Ancestry's website of the 1840 census of Sangamon Co. The next page, #1b with the employment information is there. That's where Sangamon Co. starts. It just so happens that my Alex Reeves, according to the index, is on page 1....but the page one that is shown is actually 1b which is a tally page. Does anyone happen to have access to page 1...with the census...of Sangamon Co's 1840 census. I would really appreciate it if someone could copy it and forward the picture to me. Thanks so much!

I have a Reeves girl who lived NW of Springfield, IL in Gardner Township. She married an Irwin some time before the 1850 census so her name doesn't show up with her living with her parents. I don't know her husband's name and I'm not really sure of her 1st name. Ailsey could be a nickname for Alice or even Elizabeth...like Elsie is. Ailsey was a daughter of Alexander Reeves and Effie Cummins of Gardner Twp in Sangamon Co. She was widowed or divorced by the time of her father's property was sold in 1864 and she was listed as Ailsey Irwin. She lived in Pleasant Plains, Sangamon Co. at that time. Ailsey no doubt had several Irwin children but I can't identify them. Unfortunately the 1860 census taker just used peoples' initials and not their full names. She may have named her children after her parents or any of her siblings' names....Bartlett, Susanna, Rebecca, Sarah, Maria, Nancy, or Maranda. Thanks, Carole

Around 29 Nov 1843 Bartley (Bartlett) Reeves died intestate so his father Alexander Reeves of Gardner Twp, Sangamon Co., IL was made the executor of his estate. Were there any death notices or obituaries for Bartley in newspapers in Springfield or towns in and around N.E. Sangamon Co., such as Athens or Petersburg in Menard Co.? Reeves has multiple spellings so anything even close counts. Thanks, Carole

I have mentioned The Genealogy Guys podcasts. http://genealogyguys.com/ Now there is FamilyRoots Radio. http://www.familyrootsradio.com/index.html You can download the program or listen online. You do NOT have to own an iPod to listen. I don't. You can play them online, on your computer, your portable music player, etc. I copy them to my PDA and listen while I walk. I burn them to CDs for listening when I am in the car. A friend with an iPod listens on the subway on the way to work. Sometimes they are not subjects of major interest but I always learn something.
