Posted on: Whiteside Co. Illinois Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/Whiteside/767 Surname: SPRINGSTEAD, WINSLOW, PETTIT, LLOYD ------------------------- I descend from Albina SPRINGSTEAD b 22 Feb 1862, d/o James and Harriett (WINSLOW) SPRINGSTEAD. >From Abina's obit, she was born in Tampico, although I believe the family probably resided in Whiteside County rather than Bureau County. Albina SPRINGSTEAD was the 3rd of 9 children born to this family. She had a sister who married ___ BAILEY; I believe the BAILEY family "might have" resided in Red Oak, Montgomery County, Iowa. In 1878, Albina removed from Illinois to Red Oak, Montgomery County, IA with her grandparents. In the 1880 census, I find Albina living in the household of Rufus WINSLOW. Was this Winslow family the household of her grandparents? Albina Springstead first married Amasa PETTIT 1880; secondly Owen LLOYD 1886. Looking for descendants of Albina's children from her first marriage: Emma PETTIT and James Edward PETTIT. In 1945, James Edward PETTIT was residing in Oakland, California. I have a lot of information to share. Look forward to hearing from you.

John and Susannah (Susan) Sykes were married in New York and came to Whiteside (Clyde)before 1860. They are on the 1860, 1870, and 1880 census with their children Richard, John, Susanna, Ellen (Helen), and William. John Sykes the elder was born around 1818. Susannah Sykes, his wife, was born around 1817.

Seth M. Graves married Melinda G. Wadkins 9 September 1847 in Christian County, IL. Does anyone know anything of him in Carroll or Whiteside County? I have reason to think he may be related to my great grandfather Thaddeus W. Graves who enlisted in Co G. 13 Illinois Volunteer Infantry in Whiteside County and died in Savanna, Carroll County, IL in 1910. Vincent Wadkins married Mary Ann Greaves (Graves?) 9 November 1847 also in Christian county. I am wondering if anyone has information regarding Mary Ann Greaves (Graves) and Vincent Wadkins as they may have moved to Whiteside or Carroll County later. Any help or information will be appreciated and I will gladly share what information I have. Lorraine in Oregon

Posted on: Whiteside Co. Illinois Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/Whiteside/761 Surname: OATMAN ------------------------- I'm looking for any information regarding my great grandfather, Charles E. Oatman. Would like information about his parents &/or siblings (unknown to me). Below is a list of what I do know. Thanks! My great grandfather, Charles E. Oatman married Mary E. Lefrancis (I've also seen her name listed as Mary E. Frances) on Feb. 2, 1864 in Whiteside County, Illinois. Their children were: Infant son b. Jan. 24, 1866 d. Jan. 26 1866 Infant daughter b.

Jan. 23, 1876 Mary LeFrancis Oatman died in 1877 My great grandfather remarried Huldah (or Hulda, or Heilda) Steele on July 27 1878 (I think it was actually 1879, but the marriage certificate was changed.) They also had 7 children. Ida Oatman b. May 1879, Prophetstown, IL d. May 16, 1927 Hollinger, NE Katie Oatman b. Jan 24, 1881, Phrophetstown, IL d.

Sept. 13, 1901 I know that my great grandfather died (& is buried) in Leroy, Nebraska on April 23, 1908. His wife, Huldah died on May, 25 1912 in Leroy, NE (& she is also buried there). Charles E. served in the 34th. Illinois Infantry, Company B in the Civil War. (I know this is the right Charles E. due to a civil war pension record listing him, Huldah, & Katie Kennedy as guardian.) He was mustered in, in Whiteside County. His "nativity" is New York state. (I'm assuming this means the place he was born.) He is listed as being 24, when he mustered in on Sept. 7, 1861. That would put his birth year at 1837. I've got a copy of this record.

Still can't find information on Grandad James Robinson or Florences mother Lithuania Whipple. You told me in an earlier post that Jacob Whipple was found in the Odd Fellows Cemetery (Lithuania's Father) but have not been able to find Lithuania's gravesite nor that of her husband William Harrison Carruth. If you can find anything it would be great. I really appreciate this, I am now in Florida and cannot make the trip up to Sterling. Thank you! Ruth Robinson Hill
