Terria, I am descended from William Hooper and Jeroushia Crocker's daughter, Eliza. Eliza married first to William Nance (my greatgreatgrandfather). After he died, she married his brother, Andrew Jackson "Jack" Nance. Note that three children of William and Jerousha, beginning with Mary, are born too close together to be possible. Can't recall (at the moment) what made me determine that Eliza had to be dau of Wm. and Jerousha, but I excluded William's sibling's families. Any info on your end that could clear up the one born late 1829 and two born 1830--mine early? Believe dates for Mary and Eliza are from tombstones in Mudrun. Think the 1850 census figures ages just confuse matters in terms of age. SHERRY

Is this HOOPER family connected in any fashion to William Story HOOPER & America (ROBERTSON) HOOPER?

I wonder if he's related to the Robertson line.My Dad died with it as my Grandfather & Aunt did to. It's in our generation as a cousin did also i think..Another Aunt has to go to St.Louis for surgery every so often because of it. Some Robertson ,s don't have it in there line iv'e been told..Thank's...Sharon ......

Yes I have a patient with it and all his children have it. He has had family members die with it also. We're in the Peoria County area. Vivian

Hi Sondra, Although not related to the families, I do have some data on them. My family came to Moultrie and Shelby Co in the 1830s. As I searched for them and relatives, I recorded their neighbors, hoping to find connections. In this case, none materialized. If you will e-mail me, off list, I'll send you a gedcom of the data I have, including notes and sources, which include the county history you mention and Moultrie Co. records. Look forward to hearing from you.

I am curious on the REYNOLDS surname also since they married into my PONSLER line, and in Shelby County, Illinois. Possibly a connection may be there.

I have lots of ancestors who settled in Fayette, Shelby and Effingham counties in the early 1800s and I think they were looking for free or cheap land. Some land, at the time, sold for $1.25 an acre. Then there were those who were entitled to warranty land. The government offered such land to former service men to speed up the movement to western states. I also think the slavery question, the Indian problems, and in some cases, religious freedom entered into it. Gayle

Brian: Well, no. No one really responded to my question. My Russell Fletcher arrived with his family around 1836 and he would have been about 37 years old at the time. When he left and moved his entire family (married ones, too) to Texas in 1854 - he was about 55 years old and had been a County Judge in Shelby Co., IL. with alot of land. Perhaps he was looking for good lands for his descendents at that time. They also started a Church of Christ when they got to Texas and I have wondered if Shelby Co., IL was a stronghold for the Campbellites (aka followers of the Church of Christ). Incidentally, Russell's daughter , Mary Ann Fletcher, married John Thomas Smith in September, 1849 in Shelby Co., IL. Any relation to your ancestor? ----- Original Message ----- From: Brian W Smith To: [email protected] Sent: 8/25/2001 9:44:27 PM Subject: RE: [ILSHELBY] Migration patterns Susanna, I not sure if you got a response on why people move to the Shelby county area. I'd be interested to hear a good explanation. My ancestors came about 1830, plus or minus. Illinois was admitted as a state in 1818, but it seems only real pioneers would be settling in some place like Shelby county at that time. There were land bounties about 1828 that seem to start the movements. There were still "indian wars" at that time. After the Black War for 1832, there seems to be more stability and I think that encouraged more people to move. Some time around then, they started to move out of the valleys and discovered that prairies were good farm land. One of my ancestors, John Smith, was in his 50s when he moved to Shelby/Moultrie counties. I'm baffled as to why he moved at 50, he should have been well established, more than why he came to Shelby county. Any thoughts?

My great-grandfather, John Fankboner, son of George Kline Fankboner, died in Stewardson 18 April 1906. He had seven children, including my grandfather, S. A. Fankboner, born in Stewardson. My grandfather, Sylvester (or Sylvanus) was born 15 September 1849, died in Coles County 23 March 1930. He had Three children, born in Stewardson, Alice Eulalia, born 19 October 1878, died in Coles County 3 March 1966, Evelina, birth and death dates unknown, and my father,Lewis Harlin Fankboner, born 2 March 1873, died 17 April 1931 in Coles County.

I wouldn't ordinarily post a reply to a look-up request on the list page. These should go to the requesting individual unless the response is to a topic under list discussion or is broad enough to assist other researchers. However, I post here for the opportunity to remind subscribers who ask for look-ups to provide all the information they have so as to assist the person doing the research. In this case, the requestor asked for: quote: A lookup For WILLIAM Edward REYNOLDS In The 1880 & 1890 CENSUS? end quote There are 501 William Reynolds listed in the Great Lakes region in the 1880 census.

Sorry Susie, There is NO 1890 census - anywhere. It was destroyed in a fire in Washington. If no one can do a lookup, let me know, as I will be going to the library on Monday and can check for you.
