I saw the name TOOLEY in a recent email. Just checking to see if the names of three female TOOLEY siblings might ring a bell with someone researching this line. The names of the [assumed] TOOLEY siblings are: Anne, Elizabeth and Rebecca. They were all born ca. 1800 and all three were married in Edwards County, IL. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Terry

Fran, this is wonderful of you to make this offer. I am interested too....in all the years. Some of my ancestry goes back a long way in Muhlenberg County and there should be births (the ones I am aware of) in at least three of the four years. Thank you.

Hi, Annetta. No thanks necessary. It pleases me more than I can say that I can contribute to an e-mail list that has helped me so much. I have asked for info on how to submit the info for posting on the Muhlenberg County rootsweb site. In the meantime, I've added your e- mail address to a list of people who want the info by e-mail. I'll be sending to the group in a day or two -- as soon as I nail down all of these addresses and requests for various formats.

I am researching a lot of different families that settled early on in Muhlenberg County. They are Rhoads, Jackson, Bell, Robertson, Bradley, Tipton, McKinney, Wilson, Jenkins, etc. As a result, I wind up researching allied lines of my families. I grew up on the original Jackson farm near Drakesboro and have done extensive research from that area, including the Cundiff-Jackson connection of Don Casbier. I appreciate all the hard work you are doing with the Muhlenberg County records and know how frustrating it can be to read some of those old records.

Ivan: Thank you that was very interesting. I am also related to Tuckers of Oldham County, KY that moved to Clark County, Indiana. Are we related? Thanks, Jean Davis Kitsembel

Dear Fay, Thanks for your interest in the records. I'm going to send them to several people at one time in a separate e-mail, so you'll get them that way. For now, I just had to write to say "Wow!" That's what I said to myself when I saw that you are researching Crittenden County and now live there. I spent almost an hour looking through Crittenden County Court Clerk orders today, looking for anything related to my ancestors James A. Cardwell and his wife Eleanor Alice Fitzsimmons Cardwell. They married in Union County in 1855 and still lived there in the 1860 census. By the time of the 1870 census, they lived in the Bells Mines Precinct of Crittenden County with five children. James A. (my gg grandfather) was a miner. I have been unable to learn much about their lives there in Crittenden. The most frustrating thing is that I have been unable to trace either James A. or Eleanor back to discover the names of their parents. Also, I have been unable to find out when Eleanor immigrated from Ireland -- or from which county in Ireland. If you happen upon any of these names in your research -- or can link me with descendants -- I'd very much appreciate hearing about it. Below I've included a chronology of James A. and Eleanor's appearances in various census records. Note that her first name changes frequently. Any clues that you happen to stumble upon would be appreciated. Thanks. Fran ELEANOR ALICE FITZSIMMONS CARDWELL and JAMES A. CARDWELL 1850: These Fitzsimmons in Union County as laborers in house of carpenter Isaac Clayton: Thomas 18, James 22, Mike 25, Thomas 30 (indexed online as FitzsSemmons and Semmons. 1850 Census Book 976-902 u58ho, Pg. 2 -- KHS). However, no Eleanor listed! At this time James A. Cardwell lives with first wife Lucy Jane Stallions and their infant son, James W. 1860: Eleanor lives with husband James A. Cardwell and 3 children (James W., Edmund, Warner Taylor) in Morganfield, Union Co., Ky. 1870: as "EA" with husband James A. Cardwell in CRITTENDEN COUNTY with 5 children (Edmund, Warner Taylor, M. Elizabeth, Annabelle, Catherine. A sixth child, Marguerite, arrives in 1872.) 1880: as "Alice" – head of household, living with Edmund (23), Anna (16), Marguerite (9) 1900: As "Ellen" Cardwell, age 66, b. Ireland, now widow, Hopkins County, living with daughters Elizabeth, Annabell, Catherine, Marguerite (b. 1871), grandson Robert, granddaughter Mary.

Fran, you are such a dear to do the work and be so willing to share with all. Please, could I also get a copy of all the years that you have. This could really be a break thru for some of us. How can we ever thank you?
