Thanks to all of you who helped with information about the church. I learned alot about many of my early relatives and the church they attended. Your kindness was greatly appreciated.

Today in the mail, I received the first copy of the White Co., IL. ROOTS and BRANCHES!!! It is great! It is big, 16 pages. I love it. It has good history, great queries, large information on White County families, Revolutionary War soldiers from White County, stories of how some folks found their family, Descendants Reports, great tips on where and how to look. The cost is only $15.00 a year if you send in an Ancestor Chart(s) or Descendant report(s). $20.00 if you do not. Their address is: Genealogy Society of White County Illinois, P. O. Box 142, Carmi, IL. 62821-0142.

Jane, Yes, Marshall Ferry seems to be the name of the cemetery, while Rising Sun is the name of the small community below the cemetery on the banks of the Wabash. Dogtown is the nickname for the same community, which is in Emma Township. Union Ridge is a large cemetery which I think is in Heralds Prairie township.

Sorry, I'm getting confused. I think I had sent a message requesting Rising Sun, Dogtown, Marshall's Ferry, and Union Ridge. Now I'm told that all but Union Ridge are actually the same. Is this the information you need? Jane (No more messages, I promise!)

You sent me a message wanting ones in brush creek---Mathews and Needmore. Heck I can make a book out of the ones that you want... Thanks, But like I said if you want the ones in Wayne county or just a specific one let me know....I am just dying to use my new camera...

Hi all; Hope everyone has been avoiding the flu bug that has been going around. Just alittle update on the cemetery books w/pictures...I received a digital camera for christmas this past year so I am just chomping at the bit to get warmer weather so that I can resume taking pictures for these books. I do have a request from anyone wanting a cemetery in the books. I had kept all of your previous e-mails but last year my computer had a power surge go thru it and all of my information including 2 years of work on my family was gone. Had to get a new modem and start all over again. So please when you all have some time e-mail me personally and refresh my memory on what cemeteries are of importance to all of you. I am hoping that I will have my first book done by this summer. Keep your fingers crossed.... Sincerely, Michelle Young

Hi all - Just a quick note to let you know that the Genealogy Society of White County Illinois has reached the 100 member landmark, and we're thrilled! The first Newsletter is being mailed today--16 pages, with a Russell Descendant Report, a McMurty article, and articles by Raleigh Sutton, Charlene Shields, Janet Armstrong, and the rest of the Directors, a member list (of the first 92), 3 pages of GREAT queries, etc., etc., etc.... Let us know how you love it! Pat Davis

I am behind in reading my mail. I am reading that Lick Creek baptist Church had been torn down! A shame. I just went there this summer and took pictures of that lovely old building. unfortunately, the film for the head stones didn't comeout( bad camera!). Luckily we used two cameras. I am decended from Samuel Chapman and Christenia Chaney, through andrew Jackson Chapman and Jane( Janett, Janice???) McGhee, who is listed on the church records. I's love to find out who samuel's father is?( Daniel Chapman?) and the family of christenia Chaney and who are the parents of Jane Mcghee( who I think is sister to Rut( rutha) Mcghee who married Nicholas Huff... Janey @ BUSHJL@ aol.com

They are having quite a money crunch in Alexander Co., so I'm sure the answer is that they do not have the funds to pay employees to perform both operations at the same time. Shirley

if any of you are planning a trip to Alexander co. Cairo courthouse. be advised that this county closes the courthouse to all genealogy research between Jan 15 and apr 15 because they have to prepare for the elections. don`t know what the connection of these two entirely different subjects are, but apparently the politicians have found one.

Genie, Thank you very much for the 1870 census information on Sophia Barbre and her son Noah. Sophia Barbre's daughter Sarah Jane married Alexander Hutchcraft in 1868 and they were my g grandparents.

Jonelle, Thanks for your information. Sarah Jane (Barbre) and Alexander Hutchcraft were my great grandparents from my father's family. Mary Ann Savannah (Hutchcraft) Russell was a sister to Alexander Hutchcraft. A different set of parents are listed for Sarah Jane in "The Hutchcrafts in America" book by Edna Hutchcraft Welling as well as a different day and year of birth. I was wondering if an age was given for Sarah Jane Barbre in the 1860 census Alexander F. Barbre listing.

Elizabeth Stanley Barbre lived with her daughter Sarah Jane Barbre and son-in-law Alexander Hutchcraft.. I would suggest checking for his records from the Civil War.

Sorry, I don't have 1860. Maybe someone with anestry.com or other resources can help if you re-post your question.

The more I look at that one, the more it would make sense ! I know nothing about Sarah except from what my mom tries to remember. It SURE would explain the m date differences. I show Mary Jane (Widowed, 47) with William L(18), Martha Jane(15), Sarah S (9) living in Enfield Twsp in 1880. Is there any possible listing in 1860 for William ? THANKS !!!! Steve sspunk@aol.com

ON considering your marriage date, it's likely that the older children in the census are from a first marriage for William. --- SSpunk@aol.com wrote: > Does anyone know anything on the following > folks ?

Well, there were six Wm.'s in White Co. in 1870. I found one with a wife named Mary, in Burnt Prairie Twp., but he doesn't sound much like yours except birthplace. Here he is (Jun 7, 1870): Wm., 53, w, m, laborer. b. VA Mary, 33, w, f, b. IL Chas. 9 Wm. 7 Martha 5 Nettie 4 All ch. b.

Does anyone know anything on the following folks ? ESPECIALLY the Jones side. William J is NOT show in the 1880 White Co Census. Only Mary & kids. Can someone check the 1870 census ? The m date may be wrong. They were supposed to have been active in the Primitive Baptist Church and William J & William L were possibly preachers. THANKS !
