----- Original Message ----- From: "Jon Musgrave" <jonm@midamer.net> To: <ILSALINE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, August 07, 2002 12:26 AM Subject: [ILSALINE-L] Handbook of Old Gallatin County Hello, For the past year or so I've been editing a new Handbook of Old Gallatin County. I started on this project six years ago after beginning to research the Old Slave House near Equality. As we (the Crenshaw Rascals) kept finding more information on the house and the surrounding area, I realized that there was a cache of fabulous 19th Century accounts of Gallatin County that most researchers won't ever find because they're too scattered or found in titles you wouldn't expect. The new Handbook of Old Gallatin County contains the complete 1887 History of Gallatin County as published by Goodspeed Publishing Company, as well as two new sections on Early Anecdotes of Gallatin County and Military History of Gallatin County. These are taken from a variety of 19th and early 20th Century sources. The military section includes the names of nearly every Gallatin County soldier in the Black Hawk, Mexican, Civil and Spanish-American wars. The fourth section contains more than 250 biographies of Gallatin County personalities, mostly from 1876 to 1912. To top everything off there is a complete name index included with the bonus of women listed under both their maiden and married names when known. (I know how important indexes are for researchers and genealogists, history books without them are nearly useless). In addition, throughout the book I've added footnotes offering corrections and annotations. When created in 1812, Gallatin County stretched from the mouth of Lusk Creek at Golconda all the way north to just a few miles outside Vincennes. On the west it went over to the Big Muddy River intersecting the Randolph and Johnson county lines at a point on the Big Muddy River near Blairsville. As such this book contains information on the early history of many of its surrounding counties, particularly in the Military History section. For the first time, all the accounts of Indian battles/skirmishes and fort building in this total area are included in chronological order. Also, particularly for Saline County which wasn't split off until 1847, that area's early history can be found here. That means the military section by definition includes the names of nearly all the Saline County soldiers from the Black Hawk and Mexican wars. The books will go to the printers in a couple of weeks when the proof-reading is finished and I get in the ISBN barcode for the back cover. After surveying the folks on the Gallatin County list, I decided on going with all hardbacks rather than offering any paperback versions. I did so because at over 520 pages, I just didn't think a paperback binding, even a quality one, would survive the wear and tear a history book like this could expect. Also, by going with all of one format I can get the price down from a projected $40 to $45, to a retail price of just $32. However, I've started taking pre-orders now to help finance this thing. As a benefit for ordering this now, you can get the book for 25 percent off the cover price, or just $24 plus $5 shipping and handling costs. This for a 520-plus page hardback book with full-color dust-jacket. The order form and more information can be found at www.IllinoisHistory.com/Handbook. I'll take checks and money orders through the mail, or you can pay online by credit card and such using PayPal. (I used PayPal for the Egyptian Tales of Southern Illinois book and didn't experience any problems). Speaking of which, I do still have a limited number of Egyptian Tales of Southern Illinois Vol. 2 books left. It's 102 pages, 8 1/2" x 11", spiral-bound, and contains a number of stories of Southern Illinois history. More information and ordering can be found at www.IllinoisHistory.com/EgyptianTales. I thank everyone for their support. The printers say they take 6 to 8 weeks to print the book so I'm hoping to have it back in early October.

William Stewart of NC was the grandfather or great-grandfather of Miss Mary Jane Stewart who passed in Carmi, Illinois at the age of 93 in 1966. She was also the granddaughter of US Senator Robinson. I do not remember that Stewart had any male descendants. I believe I read that he spent his final years between Kentucky and Illinois; that he died in Livingston County, KY where he had spent much of his life.

The date is given as September 24, 1873, White County, Illinois, Volume Nine. Could your Sarah have married a Gray before marrying Melton? There is a John Melton that married a Sallie Drake in Vermillion County, Illinois on May 23, 1985...a Melton / Drake connection. Also, in White County, Illinois on June 13, 1858 an Absolem MILTON marries a Sarah J. Harvey. So could your Sarah have married a Harvey before marrying the Milton or Melton? I do not find any Drake / Harvey Marriages in the ISMI. As far as Gray and Drake connections, there was a John Gray that married an Alice C. Drake on October 26, 1875 in Henry County, Illinois; and there is a Hobart A. Drake that married a Jennie A Gray in the same county on September 14, 1883. Good Luck!

I got a lot of my early information from William Melton. It looks like James W. Buttery had three wives. First name unknown at this time, but had Paraaleeann Buttery (who married Henry Greer) (Our line) Dec. 5th 1839 White Co. Ill. and Robert Buttery born about 1824, died 1853 White Co. Ill. Children by second wife Elizabeth Burch: John A., Buttery, James Fredrick Arms Buttery, William A. Buttery, Nancy M. Buttery, Emery W. Buttery, Jesse F. Buttery; Children by Third wife Melina Burch are Richard Buttery, Abraham Samuel Buttery Louis Buttery, Eunice C. Buttery, Ira M. Buttery, Robert D. Buttery, Mary A. Buttery. I believe the parents of Elizabeth and Melinda is Samuel Burch and Margaret Stokes Buttery. He is living next door to Melinda Buttery in the 1850 White Co. census. He is 82 born N. C. She is 78 born N. C. Two houses away is Jesse Burch. If you want to e-mail me at staleyw@gallatinriver. net, I will give you dates and more information that I have collected. This information is from Mr. Milton. I have been told through Oral History that this Buttery family has a lot of Cherokee Indian Blood. My mother-in-law, who was the great grandaughter of Paraleeann Buttery Greer has the hair and features of an Indian, and she said her grandfather also had these features.
