The Greenup name is familiar to Monroe Co researchers. Thomas Greenup brought his family to Monroe(Barren) Co about 1810-11. He lead a migration of Monroe Co folks in 1836 to McDonough Co, IL, but some of his children remained behind (including my gg-grandmother). Thomas was part of a family whose origins in this country date back to the 1600s in (probably) Maryland. I first discovered this clan via a wonderful book (1989) by Elise Greenup Jourdan. She is now ready with a new edition. Anyone with an interest in early Monroe Co history, will find things of interest in the book. I am attaching below a note that Elise distributed the other day describing the book and the publication options.

To determine if your family line is included, you may contact me at the email address at the end of this message. To Greenup descendants: Many of you know that I have continued collecting information about the Greenup family since publication of GREENUP WITTEN CECIL in 1989. Since late summer of 2001 I have been gathering information from sources such as the US census, SS death index, Bureau of Land Management, state and county records and placing it with the appropriate families, attempting to identify all the Greenups found in these and other records adding it to and correcting the material found in the Greenup portion of the above named book. Now the manuscript is just about ready for publication and I have to make a decision as to how and by whom it is to be published. An established publishing company can print, sell and distribute far cheaper than I can do it privately charging only the cost of the printing. Before I started working on it, the publisher who has done all my Maryland books agreed to publish it. He does only paperbacks in the size 5-1/2 x 8 and I wound up with too much text for that format. So I started checking with another publisher and this is what I have come up with: The most cost efficient size is 8-1/2 x 11 and this other publisher is willing to do it either in paperback or hard back depending on pre-publication sales and I am willing to re-format the manuscript to that size. The publisher is willing to send out a mailing to determine if there are enough people interested to make it feasible for him to publish it, but I am not in contact with enough people to even make up a mailing list. Here are the quotes I was given: HARDBACK: Pre-publication price $28; after publication $36 Provided there are 150 pre-publication sales PAPERBACK: Pre-publication price $18; after publication $24 Provided there are 90 pre-publication sales [Shipping and handling $3.50 plus $1 for any additional copies for both hardback and paperback] I would appreciate knowing if you are planning to purchase a copy of the book and if you can send any names and addresses of other who might be interested.
