Thanks for the information on where I can get the book, I will get that ordered today. I am particularly interested in knowing if there is a Mary C. BAYLOR who died Sept. 13, 1876 listed. If you would look that up for me, I would appreciate it. Thanks, Louise in Kansas

Hazel - I checked 1860 census and found Robert Barnard and family living in Washington Twp. On checking the Washington Twp cemetery book published by the Tazewell Co. Genealogical Society, I find at Glendale Cemetery: BARNARD, Robert H. , father - 1830 - 1920 Rachael, mother - 1834 - 1913 Elvina, daughter - 1869 - 1928 Fred, son 1867 - 1900 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lyde

Lyde, I noticed you apparently have a book containing people that were buried in cemeteries in Washington Township. Would you please check the book for names of BAYLOR and MINCH. Thanks, Louise in Kansas

Hi Hazel, I didn't have much luck at Mt. Zion cemetery this evening for you. I did not find any Barnards there for you. There are quite a few very old and weathered stones that I could not read. There is a series of Woodford County cemetery books. I believe that Peoria Public Library has them in their genealogy section. The phone number for the library is (309) 686-3517. There is usually a volunteer in the genealogy room and I believe they would do a lookup for you. You also might try the Eureka Library; they also have some genealogical items. That phone number is (309) 467-2922. Karas Hazel E Murray wrote: > Does someone have information about the Mt. Zion Cemetery in Deer Creek, > Tazewell County?

There is a genealogical society in Tazewell County, and a bulletin board. I got lots of information from them. Here is the link.<A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~iltcghs/">Click here: Tazewell County Genealogical & Historical Society - Illinois</A> It is not expensive, and they do give good service. They can do excellent look ups.

Is there a kind person on the list who will lookup the Will or Probate papers of Robert Barnard? He died on 12/06/1920 in Tazewell COunty and my information lists Washington TWP. Thank you.

May 10, 1869. Does this help? Andy Smith

Does anybody have access to the 1830 census for Tazewell Co. I need to look up a Nathan Dillon. There may be a couple of them. If there is ayone that can help, I would appreciate it! Mike Schubert ------ SchubertX2@aol.com

Hi, I'm new to this list and am researching a family group who migrated from VA > KY and eventually from KY > IL. According to my research, Keziah (Terry) Scott (her first husband was James Scott of Pittsylvania Co. & Halifax Co., VA who died bef. 1770) married Col. Richard Murphy in abt. 1770 in probably Halifax Co., VA. He moved his interests to Rowan Co., NC (Mitchell River area). He was a Loyalist and lost his property during the AWI. They "fled" as a family to Washington Co., KY in 1797-98 as part of a Baptist migration. The child(ren) of Keziah's first husband and her children with Murphy were all part of the migration. John Scott may have been the ONLY child Keziah (Terry) and James Scott had together before his death. John married Chloe Riggs in VA and they moved to KY with the Murphy relatives and his mother. Chloe was d/o Samuel Riggs of NJ (this family was possibly Loyalist as well). John & Chloe had children, the oldest was James Scott (b. 11/1779 in Surrey Co., NC). James Scott married Frances Tucker (VA? or KY?) before 1809 and they had 7 children (2 sons & 5 daughters) of which John Tucker Scott was the oldest (b. 2/1809 in Washington Co., KY). By 1827, James Scott had migrated from KY to IL and built his cabin as the first settler in Groveland Township, Tazewell Co., IL, migrating with his mother, Chloe, and his wife & children. Frances (Tucker) Scott was dead bef. 1850 and James had remarried Jemimah (??) possibly a widow with children. Chloe (Riggs) Scott died at the age of 100 in Tazewell Co., IL. John Tucker Scott married Anne Roelofson (d/o Lawrence Roelofson & Mary Smith) 10/1830 in Tazewell Co., IL in the home of Rev. Neill Johnson (Anne's brother-in-law). They settled in Tazewell and had 12 children (3 died young and before 1852). In 1852, John Tucker & Anne (Roelofson) Scott took the Oregon Trail west with their children. Anne died on the trail near Ft. Laramie WY and their youngest son (Wm. Niell) died in Oregon (in what is now Baker Co.), before they arrived at their destination. (1) When did Frances (Tucker) Scott die? Where is she buried? (2) Who was the 2nd wife of James Scott? Was her first husband named DAVIS? Did she have children by a first marriage? In the 1850 census Jemimah is listed as age 62/69? (hard to read my copy) and b. MA. Also in the household is a Mary L???? Davis, age 14, b. IL, who I'm presuming is a daughter from her 1st marriage ... to (??) Davis? What was Jemimah's maiden name? Ancestry? When did she die? (3) Who were the children of James and Frances (Tucker) Scott? The second son was supposed to have been killed as a young man (don't know if he was married before his death). And there were 5 daughters who must have married and/or died in Tazewell Co.? Was one married to a (??) Caffee? When the family migrated west to Oregon, Levi Caffee (m. Martha L. Roelofson, a sister of Anne Roelofson) migrated on the same wagon train with his family and he is supposed to be a cousin?/?nephew of John Tucker Scott, possibly a child of one of his sisters? Thanks in advance for any help offered. Be well & God bless, Kate Beaugrand Cook Minnesota kbcook@cfaith.com or k.b.cook@worldnet.att.net

Thanks, Cheryl. I will try that. Another thing, is there a way to find out from the census or otherwise WHERE exactly the Martin Kief family in Chester lived? When they would have come to Chester and when they left? If they owned their farm or leased it? Is there information like this that exists? Thanks Tammy

You can't get a copy from me. That was from the index made by the Logan County H&G. I believe you can email yourself the page from Ancestry and get a copy that way. There may be other ways. -----Original Message----- From: Histree60@aol.com [mailto:Histree60@aol.com] Sent: Thursday, June 14, 2001 9:42 PM To: ILTAZEWE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [ILTAZEWE] Help Cheryl, AWESOME!

Mt. Hope Cemetery, Morris, Sarah V. 1875-1928 No other Sarahs, no Samuels in volume 2 of Tazewell County Cemeteries. I do not have volume 1. Andy Smith

I have Volume 2 of Tazewell County Cemeteries. In MT. Hope Cemetery, there is a listing for Barnard, Rhoda, "mother" 1883-1937. There is no other information. Andy Smith

Hello Hazel, Mount Zion Cemetery is located in Woodford County, not Tazewell. It is a couple of miles northeast of Deer Creek, Illinois; just inside the Woodford County line from Tazewell County. Eureka is the county seat of Woodford County. Mt. Zion is a fairly small cemetery and I'd be happy to check it out for you if you'd like, but won't be able to do so until Sunday afternoon due to my work schedule. I'm sure that someone in Deer Creek has the cemetery records. The telephone number for the Village Hall is (309) 447-6749. Possibly someone there can lead you to the cemetery records.

Hi, is there any chance I can get a look-up too? Sarah Morris, about 1852-65, wife of Samuel Morris? Thank you so very much.

Does someone have information about the Mt. Zion Cemetery in Deer Creek, Tazewell County? Is there a listing of who is buried there? I have been trying so hard to find the burial place of my gg-grandfather Robert Barnard from Deer Creek. I also believe that his wife Rachel and son Irving are buried there. Robert was a farmer in Deer Creek for many years. I think his son Irving took over the farm when Robert got old. That is a guess, but Irving remained in Deer Creek while the other children moved to different states. I would be so grateful to anyone who can help me with this family. I have hit a brick wall in my research on them. I just know that there is probably tons of information on them in the local library or genealogy club but I live in WA. state and IL is a long way from me. I know that Robert lived in Deer Creek from the 1860's through the 1880's and probably longer. Thank you for any help that you can give me.

Tammy -- Chester township was definitely formed in 1880. My ancestors bought land there in 1822. The 1880 Logan census has Jacob J. Keif, 26, wife Margaret, 20, children Michel, 2, and Minnie, 9 months, in Broadwell Township [next township west of Chester]. Both were born in Baden. I think the one you want is Martin Keif, 43, born Baden, wife Elizabeth, 31, born HeDar [?], children Rudolph, 10, Maggie, 9, Katherine, 7, Bals, 5, William, 2. All children born in Illinois. They lived in Chester Township, family 96, household 96. This information is from the 1880 census transcription by the Logan County G&H Society. Cheryl Rothwell LoganCty@mindspring.com

Hi Cheryl, I was looking for Chester in the Logan County census records for 1880 and didn't see it. Was Chester township formed by 1880? Looking for a family by the last name of KIEF (Martin, Elizabeth...) Thanks! Tammy Russell
