Dana, you have done a good job. We'll miss you if you resign. No one else has been able to put together a good web page for Whiteside County. The county government doesn't cooperate with IRAD, even. We'd appreciate it if you would just resign yourself to the circumstances and continue as coordinator unless someone else really wants the job.

Dave and all listers.. I have a Whiteside County Website on IL Trails.. http://www.iltrails.org/whiteside/ There is an abundance of information on my website and its growing by leaps and bounds. No website can be successful unless you work at it - and my IL Trails Whiteside site is updated every 3 weeks with a ton of information each time. I feature everything in the world on the site - Birth, Deaths, Bios, Newspapers, Obits, Marriages, Cemetery Listing, the whole nine yards. Its true what Dana says. The Genealogical and Historical Societies in all counties, do not want any information put online - anywhere. They cannot sell their books and services if websites like mine are on here giving it away free. Well Gen Web promised Free and for the most part tried to keep that promise. IL Trails promises "Free" and we actually mean it. If any of you would like to see your family line and information on this site just let me know. My site welcomes contributions of any kind, everyone gets credit and this is what makes it so successful. Everyone on this list are all welcome to join the fun - and we would certainly welcome your input. I also do Carroll County and Lee County -- check them all out. I am dedicated to "Free" Genealogy and will do everything possible to make it happen.. Hope to hear from you all soon.

Hello Listers, I'm thinking of giving up the Whiteside County IL Gen Website. http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilwhites/ I have been doing it for about one year. I also help with the Lee County IL GenWeb Site. I have found Whiteside County very difficult to put together an informative page. There is a lot of research material availible in Whiteside County but I don't have the time to transcribe all of it for the site. Also most of the organiztions in Whiteside County do not wish to post indexes or information online. I have been very careful not to get these groups mad at me for posting their info. If anyone wishes to take over the site and has the web skills contact me and we can contact the proper folks on the state level. Thank You, Dana Fellows Dixon IL

I think is the correct family.... Dawn Everling dawnev@mninter.net From "History of Whiteside County, Ills." by Bent-Wilson (1877): 273 HISTORY OF WHITESIDE COUNTY. (biographical for Lyndon) DAVID HAZARD was born in Chenango county, New York, March 9, 1804, and was married to Miss Altheda C.Wolcott, February 14, 1827. The children of this marriage were: William B., born January, 1828; Harmon, born November, 1829; Olivia W., born April 5, 1831, and Altheda C. M., born December 15,1833. Mrs. Hazard died in January, 1834, and in September of that year, Mr. Hazard married Miss Lenora Reynolds. The following are the children: John W., born May 31,1835; Elisha H., born December 8, 1837; Eliza, born September 25, 1842; Hannah, born February 27, 1845; Albert S., born April 21, 1846; Edmund B., born February 20, 1849; David A., born June 29, 1851, and Anna A., born June 5, 1853. Hannah died in infancy; Elisha H. died March 27,1847, and David A., March 6, 1852. William B. married Miss Nancy Conyne; children, Florence, Emma, Ashur, Jay R., and Elizabeth. Harmon married Miss Sarah Roberts; one child, Daniel W; Mr. and Mrs. Hazard were divorced, and Mr. Hazard afterwards mar! ried Miss Mary Buchanan; children, Elisha H., Lola and Emma. Olivia W. married A. J. Grover; one child, Nena A. Altheda C. M. married Charles C. Upton; children, Caroline C., David E., and John; Mr. and Mrs., Upton were divorced, and Mrs. Upton afterwards married Louis Barter; one child, Bird. John W. married Miss Sarah Gould; children, Jessie F., and John; reside in Lyndon. Eliza married Luther L. Scott; children, Ella C., Albert C., Sarah L., and Leroy B. Albert S. married Miss Dora Bartholomew; children. Elsie, Jennie L., and Edmund; lives in Lyndon. Anna married Fred B. Decker; one child, Anna. Upon leaving his native home in New York State, Mr. Hazard went first to Pennsylvania where he remained until 1837, when he came to Lyndon, and lived at first in a house built by Dr. A. Smith. He afterwards made a claim and put up a cabin about three miles northeast of Lyndon, and there followed the occupation of a farmer for thirty years. The cabin in due time gave way to a fine residence, and the open prairie to well tilled, fruitful fields. During the time he was upon this farm he was elected Treasurer of Whiteside county, and discharged the duties of that important office ably and acceptably for eight years. In 1875 he moved to Lyndon, and embarked in the mercantile business, in connection with his sons. He is one of the staunch pioneers of Whiteside county. ----- Original Message ----- From: <johns2rt@hotmail.com> To: <ILWHITES-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, June 19, 2004 8:45 AM Subject: [ILWHITES] Re: DAVID HAZARD > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Surnames: CHAMBERS, HAZARD > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Zh.2ADE/1536.1.1 > > Message Board Post: > > I am researching one Elisha HAZARD, b. ca. 1862 in Whiteside Co., IL, s/o Herman and Mary HAZARD of Lyndon, Whiteside Co., IL, who married Minnie CHAMBERS in 1882 in Dade Co., MO.
