I have Garrisons and Taylors both in my ancestry charts, but not the names you have here.  Delilah Taylor is my 2nd great grandmother and md. Elisha McDowell..this is on my mother's maternal side.  Susannah Garrison is also my 2nd great grandmother on my father's paternal side.  She md. Elijah Jordan.  The Taylors and McDowells came from Vandeburgh Co., IN and TN.  The Jordan/Garrison were Franklin Co., IL .  You may want to check those counties to see if there is a connection.  Also, as a coincidence, I was named for both my maternal and paternal great grandmothers.  Dorcas and Arvilla ... I don't have the surname Hargrove in my charts.  Good luck on your search! --- On Mon, 9/7/09, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: From: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: [ILWHITE] Taylor, Garrison, Hargrove To: [email protected] Date: Monday, September 7, 2009, 10:21 AM This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

Gregg, This page has an index: http://white.ilgenweb.net/probates4347.html check this one too: http://white.ilgenweb.net/probates2244.html There are a couple of books of early wills, and a probate index up to the 1970s. A lot of women didn't have probated estates in that time period, even if it looks like they should have inherited considerable amounts of property.

This guy's father was a banker in McLeansboro and his grandfather was born in Enfield: Vickery Funeral Chapel Thomas Logsdon Miller (October 4, 1921 - August 26, 2009) U.S. Veteran Dr. Tom Miller died Wednesday, August 26, 2009 at Washington Regional Hospital. Born Thomas Logsdon Miller on October 4, 1921 in Cincinnati, Ohio, Tom spent until age six in Miami, Florida. It was while here that his first fascination with nature was born. He became passionate about seeds and collected them carefully, labeling them accurately with both their lay and Latin names. At age six, his parents William Townshend Miller and Lucy K. Logsdon Miller moved to South Pasadena in Southern California which offered him another opportunity to expand his passion for nature and to take it in another direction entirely. He became interested in Ornithology, the study of birds, and poured a tremendous amount of time and energy into the pursuit of this subject. So much so, that by age 13 he was speaking to ladies groups about the various birds of Southern California and was quite in demand because of his vast knowledge and willingness to share. During this time he began collecting the eggs and nests of the various birds of Southern California, until he amassed a vast collection that was ultimately donated to the University of California at Los Angeles in 1960. By the time he was in high school in the late 1930’s, Tom was a member of the Cooper Club, the predecessor of the modern Audubon Society. During this period he worked in conjunction with other members to capture and tag the last remaining California Condors which had dwindled to some seventeen. He was instrumental within this group in assuring that this magnificent bird did not pass into extinction and it now flourishes in such places as the Grand Canyon due to these extreme efforts. During his tenure at South Pasadena High School, while always an excellent student, he also had time to play tennis which he enjoyed tremendously. One of his dear friends and often a companion on the court was the late, tennis great, Jack Kramer. They grew up not far from one another and their love of tennis was a shared delight. Tom graduated from South Pasadena High School in 1939 and progressed to Pomona College often called the Harvard of the West. This small college was the ideal setting for Tom and he used it to the best of his ability. He graduated in 1943 with a B.S. in Zoology with a perfect grade point average. During this period of time there was a great deal of upheaval in the world with war waging in much of it. Although Tom had originally planned a life of study in the world of birds, it became clear that this would not be possible. He was soon identified by the Navy V-12 Program as someone that they wished to have in their midst. The V-12 Program identified the best and the brightest, and fostered their education so that they could be best used in the war effort. To that end, from 1943-1946 Tom was on active duty as an Apprentice Seaman, United States Naval Reserve while attending Medical School at the University of Southern California. In 1947 he graduated from USC Medical School and joined active duty as Lt. Junior Grade. From July 1947-October 1948 he was the staff physician at the United States Naval Hospital in Camp Pendleton, Oceanside, California. In 1949 he was assigned as the Medical Officer for the Destroyer Division 32 (later redesignated Destroyer Division 102). During his time with the Destroyer Division he traveled to Japan and China before returning through the Panama Canal to Newport, Rhode Island where he was discharged to inactive duty in the summer of 1949. July 1949-July 1952 Tom fulfilled his residency in Internal Medicine at United States Veterans Administration Wadsworth Hospital in Los Angeles, California. It was during the early days of this time that he met and then married his wife, Lois Ann Nelson who was a Registered Nurse at the same hospital. From 1952-1961 Tom served as Assistant Chief of Admissions and Out Patient Services at Wadsworth Hospital. In 1955 he passed his written Specialty Boards and in 1957 he passed his oral exam and was confirmed as a Specialist in Internal Medicine. By this time he and Lois had two children, Lucy and Jim. With their welfare in mind, Tom and Lois moved from Southern California to Fayetteville, Arkansas in 1961. This move allowed him to continue his work at the Veterans Administration Hospital and in 1964 he was named Chief of Medicine, a job he performed until his early retirement in January 1977. For many reasons, he returned to the position in April 1979 as a retired annuitant and performed the function of Chief of Medicine until April 1984 when he retired for the last time. He is preceded in death by his parents, William T. and Lucy L. Miller and his son, James Nelson Miller. He is survived by his wife of 58 years, Lois Nelson Miller; his daughter, Lucy Miller Bugea, two granddaughters, Carolyn Miller Braden and Jennifer Braden Munson, and one great-granddaughter, Lola Rose Munson. Visitation for Dr. Miller will be Monday, August 31, 2009 from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Vickery Funeral Chapel in Shawneetown. A graveside service will be Tuesday, September 1, 2009 at 11 a.m. at Westwood Cemetery in Shawneetown, Illinois near Tom’s beloved farmland. Ridgway American Legion Post #596 will be in charge of military rites. Upon returning from Illinois, a gathering of friends at Butterfield Trail Village will be announced. In lieu of flowers the family requests that donations be made to either Washington Regional Hospice 34 West Colt Square, Fayetteville, Arkansas 72703 or Butterfield Trail Village Foundation, 1923 E. Joyce Blvd., Fayetteville, Arkansas 72703. Internet condolences may be made at www.vickeryfuneralchapel.com.

Mading, Nathaniel Boone (son of Daniel), James Craig (son-in-law of Daniel Boone), Achilles Coffey, and many others whose names I recognized but had never seen photos of them before. The book can be downloaded as a pdf file from google books, online. There is an index of illustrations in the front which is several pages long.

I was wondering if you had any evidence that Wm Sparkman Harvey's wife Sarah was a Grundy, as it looks like from all of what I have found so far that there is no proof that she was a Grundy from the family connected to a well known politician's family line on the Internet, that goes back quite a ways to England. I also have, besides pictures of Fatima, one large picture that my grandfather labled, the Harvey aunts and uncles. It looks like maybe a picture of Felix and his wife and kids who are adults in the picture.
