I have put together a list of published genealogy resources specific to Wayne County. It can be found at http://my.inil.com/~htbryan/Bib/index.html If you know of any others or have any corrections let me know. ----- Harry

There is a listing in the "Wayne County Death Notices & Obituaries" book by Betty Beeson. On August 6, 1891 in Enterprise it reads "Mrs. Jane Bradley died last week. She was an old settler". I also looked in my "Wayne County Cemetery Inscriptions" book and found George, Ann and Henry Bradley. They are buried in the Barth or Cope Cemetery. George W. Bradley died February 12, 1865 and Jane A. Bradley died July 15, 1891. Henry Bradley 1855-1944 (his wife Lucy 1870-1945). There are also other Bradley's buried in that cemetery (Julia, Rosa, Della, Eda, Edward, and Oscar). Hope this helps. I am not related to this family. My McDaniel family came from Rinard in Wayne County.

Wayne County Researchers Please read all the way through this and visit the links below to help you protect your computer from these security threats and viruses. I have also published this as a link from our Wayne County website as an "ALERT" so you can share with your friends and relatives as well. CRITICAL: --------------- MS Windows Vulnerabilities ACTION: ------------- MS Windows users must IMMEDIATELY apply patch updates. On April 12, 2005, Microsoft released 8 security bulletins for newly discovered vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows and other Microsoft products. Microsoft has released patches and updates to address these vulnerabilities (see Resources section). Threat level of these vulnerabilities is classified as *CRITICAL* for Windows systems and all Windows users should apply the necessary updates and patches immediately. In related news, variants of the `Mytob' worm have been burrowing through the Internet since April 12. New variants of the `Mytob' worm have spawned on the Internet yesterday and today. The full names are `W32.Mytob.AR@mm', 'W32.Mytob.AU@mm' and 'W32.Mytob.AV@mm'. Symantec classifies these as a Category 2 (Low) threat. 'Mytob' is a mass-mailing worm that also spreads through network shares with weak passwords. Due to the potential for spread of this worm and that Microsoft has released 8 security bulletins for newly discovered vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows and other Microsoft products. This alert has a threat rating of *SIGNIFICANT* for the Windows platforms. Owners of systems running Windows are advised to manually update their anti-virus definitions. Immediately install the latest definitions by clicking the "LiveUpdate" button that appears when you open the Symantec program (i.e. Norton Antivirus). Everyone is urged to exercise extreme caution when handling file attachments received, especially Windows system owners. The 'Mytob' variants are known to use the following file extensions: .bat, .cmd, .exe, .pif or .scr VIRUS DETAILS: -------------------------- The sender will appear to be a generic first name followed by one of the following domains: - aol.com - cia.gov - fbi.gov - hotmail.com - juno.com - msn.com - yahoo.com The following subject lines are characteristic of 'Mytob' variants (One of the following): - error - Good day - hello - Mail Delivery System - Mail Transaction Failed - Server Report - Status - [blank] - [random characters] The message body may contain (One of the following): - Here are your banks documents. - The original message was included as an attachment. - The message cannot be represented in 7-bit ASCII encoding and has been sent as a binary attachment. - The message contains Unicode characters and has been sent as a binary attachment. - Mail transaction failed. Partial message is available. The attachment may look like (One of the following): - body - data - doc - document - file - message - readme - test - text - [random name] # using one of the following extensions: - .bat - .cmd - .exe - .pif - .scr Note: The attachment may have a .zip extension and contain a file with a dual extension. The first extension will be .doc, .htm, or .txt, followed by .exe, .pif, or .scr as the second extension. The 'Mytob' variants steal email addresses from the systems they infect. The addresses are used to help disguise the worm and promote further infection and confusion. Do not worry if you receive a bounce-back message stating that your email could not be delivered because it contained a virus. Remember that while you did not physically send the email to begin with, virus filters are unable to make this distinction. The worm may also attempt to lower the security settings, terminate processes, add content to system files and download files from remote websites. MITIGATION ----------------- Symantec has published updated antivirus definitions. Users should apply the updates *immediately*. Symantec has also published a removal tool for use on infected systems (see 'Resources' below).

Does anyone have the death records for the 1937 period for Wayne Co? I am looking for the death record of one Gertrude Young GRAHAM. Gertrude YOUNG (b. August, 1878, Clay Co) and her husband Charles GRAHAM (b. abt. 1866 OH) is believed to have died in Wayne Co in 1937. Gertrude and Charles are buried in the Elmwood Cemetery in Clay Co but the last place I find them is the 1930 Wayne Co (Keith) census. I would love to know the name of Gertrude's father. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Eldon

Jerilyn -- In addition to the census limitations pointed out by other responders, there is another possible explanation. It could be that they were temporarily out of the county when the census was taken. My 3rd great grandfather does not appear in the 1860 Wayne County census, though I know perfectly well that he lived there. His wife is shown as the head of household, and their one year old child is listed, along with her children from a prior marriage, but he and his children from his first marriage are missing. It was not until Lois Branch pointed out that his mother died in Indiana shortly after the census was taken that I realized what had happened -- he took his children and made a trip to see his critically ill mother! The timing of the census was such that he and his children did not get included in either location. Bottom line -- the census is a "snapshot in time," and there are several reasons why a person who should have been included might have been missed. Guy I.

Hi All, Can anyone tell me about Ira Trotter, What happened to him he married a Richardson in Wayne County, Illinois. Thanks, Phyllis

Wayne Co., IL Researchers I am having problems with logic here ... William Joseph Trotter (b. abt 1765) married in KY (?) to Sarah King Sarah was born 1765 and died 1820-1821 Then several people say their son was: Shirley Jasper Trotter, born in 1821. Now, how can this be? IF Sarah died 1820-1821 and there at least two more child born after Shirley ... can someone tell what boat of logic I am missing? Thanks!

I was doing family research at Gunion Cemetary in Wayne County and found the grave stone of John H.F. Pittman 1861-1926 and his wife Emma E. 1862-1942. I would not be surprised if they are descended from Martin Pittman 1791-1849(?) and Achsah Farmer 1819-1851(?) (my ancestors who moved to Wayne county before the civil war). Does anyone know anything about John and Emma? I also saw the grave of Bonnie Pittman Simons 1892-1935. She is also not from my known family tree. My Dad, age 87, has not heard of these people.
