Well that does give me something. I have a copy of "The Wilson Story" provided by the White Co. Historical Society as well as passed down from papers my grandmother had. This Wilson story was written by Ruth Wilson Dillon who descends from my same line of John Wilson and Elizabeth Chinn and who wrote the Chinn Book states that "There was some relationship between John Wilson and Judge William Wilson of Carmi. Also an old letter to Rawleigh Chinn Wilson refers to "your Uncle Jacob Wilson" Mary Jane Stewart, late of Carmi, said that Judge William Wilson and Rawleigh Chinn Wilson were "cousins". There was a Jacob Wilson in early Carmi who married a King but no relationship to John Wilson has been established. Judge Wilson's son, Charles James Fox Wilson married Harriett Lucy Wilson daughter of John Stretchley Wilson who was the son of my brick wall John Wilson and Elizabeth Chinn. So, if this John M. Wilson was a cousin to Judge William Wilson and Judge William Wilson was a cousin to my John Wilson's son Rawleigh then my John Wilson's father who I believe to be William could be the father of Jacob as well. I always believed that John had a brother Jacob as one of his son's name was Jacob. I think I might be on to something here, thanks so much.

Hi Mary Lee - Charlene IS a Hon descendant, so there are definitely Hon references! There are 20 pages of 8 point type, 4-column index -- not only names, but places and events. Schools, ghost towns, churches, communities, and especially PEOPLE, are all indexed. The index includes the following: love fruit 229 LSTs 39 Lucas John 25, 131 Nancy Jane 121 Lukenbill Amanda 224 Lucinda 224, 293 Lumm, Thomas 118 Lunceford Phebe 293 James 295 Luther, Martin 226 Lyon, W. B., Mrs. 113 There's also an appendix with Charlene's Ahnentafel report, which is laden with Hon's. Hope this helps.

Does anyone have information on the family of Martin and Flora (RISTER) MILLER THANKS

Counties of Cumberland, Jasper and Richland, Illinois : historical and biographical. Chicago: F.A. Battey & Co., 1884 Don't know if this is any help, but the book above contains a bio of John M. Wilson, who became the frst official of Richland Co. when he was appointed Clerk of the Circuit Court in 1841. He was born in Prince William co., VA, near Bull Run in 1811. His father Jacob, of Scots-Irish descent, was born in PA. His grandfather Wilson fought in the Rev'n, was wounded at Paoli and captured. His Uncle Silas fought at Brandywine. His father Jacob was at Harper's Ferry in 1798? and served at the White House in the War of 1812. His mother was Margaret King, whose mother was a Kearney, related to Gen. Phil Kearney. In 1824, John's family moved to Jefferson Co. VA. In Oct. 1828, they moved to IL, reaching White Co. in Dec. of the same year, where they passed the winter at the home of a cousin JUSTICE WILLIAM WILSON. It goes on at some length about John, who became a lawyer and prominent Whig, etc., but there is no more about his cousin. Thought the family ties might mean something to you. --- Janean Ray <JRay38@neo.rr.com> wrote: > My brick wall John Wilson in Fauquier Co. > Virginia d. 1821 had proven 1 son > that went to Kentucky and I believe possibly 2 > but can't prove that.

My brick wall John Wilson in Fauquier Co. Virginia d. 1821 had proven 1 son that went to Kentucky and I believe possibly 2 but can't prove that. His name was John Stretchley Wilson b. 1805 d. 12 Feb 1855 Union Co. KY. Married Harriet Blue of Kentucky. John Stretchley's brother Rawleigh Chinn Wilson was in Kentucky briefly but ended up in White Co. IL which is in the Kentucky border near Union Co. KY. I do not know of any specifically that went to Ohio. However, John Stretchley's children were all born between 1836 and 1849. I only have their initials other than 1st born daughter Lucy who married a Charles J.F. Wilson b. 1827 and they moved to Carmi White Co. IL. Charles' father was Chief Justice William Wilson who served as the Illinois Supreme Court Justice for 24 years. Judge Williams was born in Loudoun Co. Va and lived for a short time in Kentucky before moving to Illinois. He married Mary S. Davidson of Wheeling, Va. They had a son JOHN COOK WILSON, named after Atty. John Cook who Judge Wilson did his apprenticeship under in Virginia. It is said that Judge Wilson's father died young leaving mom and two young boys. Anyone having any information is appreciated. This brings two related Wilson lines together but the connection is broken in Loudoun Co. Virginia........ Thanks.

Hi White County Fans - A new White County book will be available on or before December 15: "That Which Was and Those Who Were: Columns from 'The Carmi Times', White County, Illinois", by Charlene Cleveland Shields; size 7 x 10, softcover, 328 pages (20 pages of index alone!). This is a collection of the columns Charlene wrote in her genealogy column from 1989--2002, and is chock-full of names, places, tips for researching, humor, and history. For example: Among the earliest White County landowners recorded at the Shawneetown Land Office were the following purchasers of land in 1814: Nathaniel Blackford, Joseph Boone, John Bradbury, William T. Codd, Samuel Dagley, James Gray, Regin Hall, David Haney, James Hannah, Jonah Hannah, James Hobbs, Henry Jones, William Jones, Jesse Kuykendall, Noah Kuykendall, Peter Kuykendall, Robert Land, Francis Leech, George R. Logan, John Lucas, Balam May, Susannah McClury, Daniel McHenry, James McWilliams, John Mobley, William Nash, ... or A 1905 Murder: "In a little ravine running across the corner of a meadow within 20 yards of the highway, Mr. Phipps came upon the dead body of a man." The details were so gory, probably a present-day newspaper wouldn't publish such. At any rate, there was a leather hitch rein around the neck of the decomposed body, and the rein was tied to a thorn bush. The murdered man was identified by a letter on his person as being William Jones of School (Centerville). ... or in a list of 1907 businesses for the entire county: Norris City, Pop. 868-A. M. Allen, Restaurant; Charles E. Barnes, Hardware & Furniture; T. S. Barnes, General Store & Lumber; W. J. Burnett, Drugs; H. M. Catlin, Blacksmith; A. C. Clippinger & Sons, Publishers; Cobbel & Boster, Poultry, Hardware, etc.; J. A. Cook, Harness; Frank DeBoard & Son, General Store; William Fulford, Butcher; Gowdy & Witters, Flour Mill; J. L. Harrell, Drugs; C. C. Haskins, Saw Mill; Hendrix & Barnum, Hardware, Furniture, etc.; N. E. Johnson, Harness; Tony Johnson, Harness; Fred Jones, Restaurant; W. B. Jones, Flour; Jordan & Hill, Grocery; ... Those of you who have read Charlene's Columns know what fascinating information she imparted; those who haven't will be amazed. The book is priced at $23, including postage, but if we receive your order by December 5, WE will pay the postage, so your price is only $20. (What a great Christmas present for yourself or a genealogist friend.) We also have copies of "I Never Learned To March," the Memoirs of White Countian Charles O. "Bill" Williams, which is priced at $17 postpaid, but if you order both books by December 5, your total price will be only $35 -- we pay postage for both. Order from: Genealogy Society of White County IL, P.O. Box 142, Carmi, IL 62821. What a bargain! Happy reading. Pat Davis genealogy_society@midwest.net

Greetings, Some time back i sent a sketch of the experiences of Elder Lewis Hon (a Regular or Primitive Baptist minister) to a few of the White county forum members who were interested. It was written in about 1891, I believe. Today I came across his obituary, published in 1908. It has more about his family and thus I thought I would offer it also, to anyone who would like to have it. I can xerox it and send it to you, if just a few want it. Otherwise I could scan it and send to however many want it.

"The Bruce Web" by Dr. Thomas Bruce is the name of the book. I do not have a complete copy of it. You can order it at your local library on loan but I believe it has to be read in the library. This is the e-mail address for the author. He should be able to provide documentation. I would be delighted if whoever write him would share the information with me. Carol Dugger Rio Vista, CA Dr. Thomas Bruce's e-mail is < tabruce@aristotle.net

Carol, When my father passed away, also of Alzheimer's. My husbands aunt sent me a little saying that I found very comforting, and I hope you do also. They say that when a loved one dies that they are with God. So if they are with God, and God is with us, then they can't be far away. God bless you and your loved ones. -Cheryl Woolsey Jenny -----Original Message----- From: Carol Janes [mailto:cjanes925@yahoo.com] Sent: Thursday, October 30, 2003 1:12 PM To: ILWHITE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [ILWHITE] Death Notice On Saturday, October 25, 2003, my loving mother and friend, Virginia F.

Jody, I don't have any solid documentation on many of my BRUCE family except for the William BRUCE b. 1762 in Culpeper Co VA and his descendants. Exactly why I am hoping that someone can make corrections or show me documentation somewhere for some of this stuff! I know that a lot of people have used the book "The Bruce Web" by Dr. Whoosis Bruce and I think this is where my information came from. I've not done a lot of BRUCE research myself and am really just beginning on this mess to see what I can discover and get documented. Carol
