I am looking for info on a Lewis & Lewrana (Lurana?) ROBINSON I have listed out what info I have below. They apparently adopted/took care of my G-Gandmother after her parents died. She was born 3 Sep 1878 in Birmingham, Schuyler Co., Illinois and married a William COURTNEY. I have several names for her Luella, Lu Ellen, LoL L., and Lula Belle seems to change with each census. Hopping that some of your ROBINSON's might have migrated the same direction (VA>IL,USA) thought I would see if it would ring any bells? Thanks for your help. -- Jim Lowary http://www.lowary.org/ 1880 Federal Census, Schuyler County, Illinois: Brooklyn Township: Enumeration District 263, sheet 2: #17/18: Lewis ROBINSON age 43 born VA, father born VA, mother born VA Lewrana (Lurana?) age 38 wife born VA, father born CT, mother born VA Luella STONEKING age 2 cousin born IL, father born IL, mother born IA jlowary@mail.coin.missouri.edu LowAry http://www.lowary.org/ Melissa's adoption story available at: http://www.lowary.org/melissa.htm

Correction on my just-sent message. James Preston Hackworth was the son of John Hackworth and Mary Preston, not George Hackwith and Ann Leftwich (John's parents).

I am researching the surname Hackworth (Hackwith) in Schuyler County, Illinois. Thomas Hackworth (Hackwith) b. l5 Sep l850 to parents James Preston Hackworth and Nancy Bryant (or Branham) in Bainbridge Township, Schuyler County, Ill. Thomas had a brother named James Preston Hackworth b. l848. Thomas's father James Preston (or just Preston) was the son of George Hackworth and Ann Leftwich. Thomas Jefferson Hackworth (Hackwith) shown above married Alvina Hall, daughter of Elisha Hall and Angeline Heflin, in Versailles, Ill. in l876. Their children were: James Monroe Hackwith (Hackworth), Ida May Hackworth (Hackwith, and Veda Marie Hackworth (Hackwith). The spelling of the surname was changed after Thomas Jefferson Hackworth married Alvina Hall. The spelling is now shown as Hackwith in our family records for this branch of the Hackworth family. Please contact me if you have any information. Joan

Dear Researchers: As County Coordinator for Mason County ILGenWeb (http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilmason/), I am attempting to help one of my mail list subscribers with a project she has been working on. Below is a link to a list of names sent to me by Penny Duncan of pictures that she has in her possession. She is attempting to find some way of letting others know that she has Mason County (or even from surrounding counties) pictures of people that she would like to give to the Family members of those pictures. It is, of course, a way of helping her find other links to her Family, as well. Never-the-less, she is not selling these pictures, she is merely trying to find the Family members and will send the pictures to the Family members for the price of postage. So, just browse through her collection and see if you would like to make contact with her. http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilmason/pdpictrs.html Who knows you may find a long lost picture of a relative.

Can anyone tell me if this cemetary is in Schuyler County - possibly in Browning? My great-uncle, Herman Laurel Day was buried there in 1912 and I was wondering if there was a list of people buried there to see if I can find any other relatives. Thanks Chris
