Is anyone on this list descended from Warrenton B. SPILLER b: ca 1810, d: 23 Mar 1854 Williamson Co.? I am attempting to identify the male child born between 1835-40 on the 1840 census. My husband's 2nd great grandparents were: William D. SPILLER m: 28 Dec 1851 Williamson Co. IL to Harriet WARDEN. By family tradition this man left to look for work, and was never heard from again. His son, Albert Scott SPILLER was born 18 Oct 1852 in Williamson Co. IL. Harriet's father, Peter WARDEN appears as a debtor on the estate record of Warrenton B. SPILLER. Possibly the Hamelton (Hamilton) RAGSDALE who is also listed in the estate records may be the husband of Martha WARDEN another daughter of Peter. PLEASE NOTE: He is NOT the William D. SPILLER who married Emily Jane ALLEN and Jessie F. KELL(E)Y. (Unless he committed bigamy <BG>) Joyce Hambleton Whitten [email protected]

Bowling. The connection to southern Illinois is through the early mining industry in Herrin and Christopher, in West Virginia , Mingo Co. and in Kentucky, the Cos. of Elliott, Lawrence and Boyd.

A little help please. On the 1920 Census, my great-great uncle, Charles Bowman, is listed with his wife Emma (Ing) Bowman and daughter Dorothy as living at 707 North Van Curis? Street. I have looked at a map of Marion and only see Van Buren Street. There is no way I can believe that the first letter is anything but a C, perhaps, unlikely, an E. Any help on renamed streets? Other names and addresses on the same street: Thomas S. Baker at 1306, Wesley Chaney at 1314, Thomas J. Goddard at 1400, Walter W. Woodard at 1406, John W. Rush at 1410, Martin Weinacht at 605, John Maurir? at 709, William Kawerton at 1003, an Alexander family at 805, what appears to be Loy W. Jurt at 807. Thank you for any help.

Hello All, New to the list.... I'm looking for any information at all on one Grant VanZandt. He might be my great grandfather. My grandmother was born: Hazel Lorine VanZandt. And she swore towards the end of her life that she was John York's daughter. I just don't know and I think I should check out all the angles. But, I am unsure of this.. and since I can't find anything I'm gonna work the problem from another angle. There is a picture of Hershel VanZandt on a postcard sent to Grant in 1912. It was sent to Clifford, Williamson County, ILL http://members.nbci.com/pegrowe/ click on the VanZandt hyperlink. My great grandmother: Philadelphia (delphia) Ann Jones Husbands: John York, Grant VanZandt, & Walter Stewart. Thanks for any help at all... in helping me break my brick wall.... who are my great grandparents? Peggy Rowe [email protected]

I found my photo of the headstones. The 'original' one has the last digit in the year rubbed out. It could be either a 3 or a 5. What can be read says "Isaac Herring Died June 29, 184... In the 77 year of his age" The newer headstone, a double for both Isaac and Unity states: Herring Unity Isaac 1770-1846 1766-1843 Isaac, First Settler Herrin's Prairie 1813 I don't know where the dates for the newer headstone were found or when it was placed.
