Viola: I've seen references to "Camp Anna" and to units being formed there and men enlisting there. I assume it was a training camp as well. Possibly your William Mack was in training there. You may already have his service record. If he left a widow or a dependent parent or child who applied for a pension based on his service, there may be other details about him in their applications. The following is from page 48 of the book "100 Years of Progress, City of Anna, Illinois", Anna Centennial Committee, 1954: "From the best information gathered, Union County gave 3,000 men to the army during the Civil War. The records show that in addition to the full 109th Regiment furnished Capt. Mack's Company, there were a number of men in the 18th Regiment.* The county also furnished a large number of men to the 6th Cavalry. The 60th Infantry Regiment was organized at Anna Feb. 17, 1862, Col. Silas C. Toler of Jonesboro and Adjutant Thomas C. Barnes, Anna. The regiment fought in eleven battles in the March on Atlanta to the sea. The 109th Regiment was recruited from Union County. Col. Alexander J. Nimmo, Lt. Col. Elijah A. Willard, Major Thomas A. Perrine, and Adjutant James Evans and others were mustered in at Anna Sept. 11, 1862. It was armed with inferior guns and later consolidated with the 11th Infantry. About 1800 of the men were killed in action or died in hospitals or prison camps. Barracks for soldiers were built on the present site of the Anna State Hospital and a hospital unit erected. The St. Nicholas Hotel in Anna was also converted into a hospital for the wounded. Civil War veterans sleep in a special memorial plot at the Anna Cemetery." ----- *This sentence is typed exactly as printed in the book. I see no other mention of "Capt. Mack" on nearby pages to indicate what his first name might have been. The Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System at http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/ can be checked for servicemen's names and regimental histories.

Sarah Unknown Maiden Name is living with daughter Martha Wilson who married John Watkins in 1850. She is a widow by then. Her husband may have been named Samuel Wilson of North Carolina. Sarah was b c 1785 VA. By 1860, she is 75 years old and still living with dau Martha Wilson Watkins in Union Co, IL. Still alive in 1870, she is 86 years old and states her birthplace is NC. I think she had at least three children, William R Wilson b c 1816 NC and died after 1870 Union Co, IL, Martha Wilson Watkins b c 1817 NC and George Wilson b c 1820 NC or VA. All four of these seemed to die in Union Co, IL. I would very much like to find burials for them. I think Samuel Wilson probably died before the family moved to Illinois. Also they may have stopped in TN along the way to IL. I suspect they might have been from Rowan Co, NC since 1820 shows a George and William R Wilson on the same page....maybe! Thanks for any help!

One of my favorite spots for genealogy research. You can check out their website at http://www.kybys.com Just type in the Surname Littlepage and it will bring back anything that is in the database - death records, medical records, newspaper clippings, etc. It's especially helpful to find lots of resources in one spot for genealogy research I have found their website to be very helpful. And it's great because they always add new genealogy research papers and docunments Enjoy John

Darrell, Do you know about any other female doctors in Union County? I was surprised to find on my grandma's birth certificate in 1902 (Dongola) that the attendant was Mattie M. Crain. The midwife was crossed off seemingly to reflect that she was an MD.

GEORGE FOX/FUCHS possibly lived in your county in the 1850's. Is the 1855 census for IL indexed for your county? His son, Henry was born 3/11/1859 or 1860 supposedly in Cairo. Alexander County has no record. Thanks anyone who might have an idea how to find this guy. Elaine Linke [email protected]
