apparently don't go back as far a I need to go. Here is what I have: Franklin

His parents were Elias Hutchins White and Lucina Gay White. If you can
help me I would so appreciate it.

BROWN Cecil xxx - April 2002
I am searching for information about Thomas Brown.
He married Fatima Miller 14 Nov 1847, Fulton County, Illinois. I
have a copy of [the] marriage from that county, but can't find anything
else about either of these two people. Thomas Brown's Father signed giving
his consent, John J. Brown. Thomas and Fatima had children, one being Herbert
Brown. I appreciate your help. I have nothing else on Thomas or Fatima,
his wife. Just know John J. Brown signed for son Thomas to be married.
KINNAMON Cindy Messick - April 2002
I am looking for information about any KINNAMON
families that might have been living in the Rushville area. My grandfather
was Orville born 4/26/1902 and he had at least 2 brothers Richard b. abt
1897 and Paul b. abt 1910. They were born in Indiana. I do not know who
their parents were. I would appreciate any information.
HOOKER T. Frey - April 2002
Looking for information on the family of Jasper
Hooker, b. 1843 in Schuyler Co., IL. His father was Samuel. I have found
the family in various censuses. IL marriage records show that Jasper Hooker
married Sarah Jane Beghtol on 11/07/1867 in Schuyler Co. My biggest question
is regarding Jasper's oldest daughter, Mary. Family records say she was
born April 16, 1865 (2 yrs. before her parents' marriage). Her birth year
based on info from the 1880 census would be around 1863. Family
notes seem to indicate some disharmony between Mary and her parents.
I suspect that Sarah Jane may have been Mary's step-mother, however, I
can find no record of a previous marriage for Jasper. Does anyone have
any information about this family?
LOGSDON, HOUSTON Chris McCune - April 2002
Am looking for information on a Logsdon family that
came to Schuyler County in the 1820's. There appears to be several brothers
who relocated about the same time. Their names were James Vaughn, John,
Redman, Amos, and Ransom (Jackson) Logsdon. Am also interested in information
on the Houston family. A sister of the above named Logsdon brothers married
Andrew Jackson Houston in neighboring Morgan County in 1832. I feel the
families may have lived near each other. Thank you for any information.

SPIVA - SPIVEY George Holt - April 2002
In researching my family history, I have come to
a dead end which would only be opened with some help from someone in Schuyler
County. Perhaps you may lead me to someone or be of assistance yourself
in my problem.
My great grandfather Andrew Spiva (Spivey), was
born in or near Schuyler County on January 15, 1811. He was the third son
of one Joshua Spivey; the first two sons were William and James Harvey.
Andrew married Tennessee Noble on 8/6/1829 in Schuyler, their marriage
was the 27th recorded in the County. With several other families, Andrew
& Tennessee Spiva made their way to Texas on or about 1834.
I found one J. Spivey in the 1810 Illinois Census
for Clear Lake #21, which I have been informed is an area in what is now
Schuyler. The family members listed on this census agree completely with
the family history of the Spiva/Spivey family of Schuyler.
Are the graves in the cemeteries in the County listed
anywhere? I would like to know where the above J. Spivey is buried and
with whom. I do know that my Andrew returned from Texas, after his second
wife died, with two children. One of these children, a Mary Ann Comal Spiva
married James P. Starr in Schuyler on 8/19/1866. My Andrew died, according
to
Bible records, on 9/27/1867 in Schuyler County, where I do not know.
Again, if you could lead me to someone who may be
able to assist me in this search I would be extremely grateful.

ADAMS Patt Rhue - April 2002
Any information regarding George W. (possibly Washington)
Adams would be appreciated. I believe he was born in Schuyler County, IL
possibly 5 Sept. 1856. I have copy of his marriage license to Julia (Mallory)
Adams that I received from the Co. Clerk's office.
I've received some information from Fulton County,
IL that he was buried in Lankford Cemetery. I believe that is supposed
to be Langford Cemetery. Is that cemetery still in existence? I'm terribly
curious, as there is a headstone in the Cooperstown Cemetery, Brown Co.,
IL with his name on it next to my Great Grandmother name, Julia (Mallory)
Adams. It is a puzzlement to me at this time. Any information would
be welcomed.
KARRAKER Julie Karraker West - August
2002
I'm trying to find out some information about R.
A. Karraker. He is listed as one of the pastors at the Christian Church
of Rushville. I'm guessing he was the pastor there before 1924, because
the pastor at the church when it was enlarged in 1924 comes after R. A.
Karraker in the list of pastors.

SKILES, RUSSELL Carrie Reber - August

I am seeking more information about Susan Ellen
Skiles, born in Schuyler County in 1851. I believe her father to have been
William C. Skiles, and she had an uncle who was a minister in Industry,
Illinois. Her siblings may have included: Perry, George, Elizabeth, Sarah
and Genera Skiles. Susan married James Russell of McDonough County in 1875.
Any information, leads or documents related to this
family would be greatly appreciated.
DAWSON Linda K. Gill - August 2002
In the 1880 Schuyler County census, John and Sarah
Dawson were listed two households before William and Solena Dawson. The
oldest son of John and Sarah, William (listed as Willie on that census),
is my grandfather. I have been unable to confirm the parents of John but
wonder if his neighbor, William, could be his father. The Patron List for
Bainbridge Township lists William Dawson as a native of Wayne Co, OH who
went to Schuyer Co, IL in 1854. John was also born in Ohio.
Does anyone have access to an obit or marriage record
for William and his previous wife or wives (before Solena), a cemetery
record, or information about other family members of his?
