Just found out that my ggggf, Washington Irving ROBBINS, was living in Schuyler Co. in 1860 in the township of Hickory and post office of Butlersville. He is listed on the index as W.J.  His wife was H.M. (Helen Marr ROBINSON Robbins) and their son (my ggf) was Charles Harmon ROBBINS. There are 2 other people living with him at the time...Mary KEEN who was 20 and John PURDA who was also 20 and a laborer.  I know that they also had a son born in 1858 who only lived for a month. If anyone is researching any of these surnames, I would love to correspond with you.

I am searhing for the John Franklin/Sarah AVERY family. Their children were: Viola May born 1879; Wallace born abt 1880; Violet born abt 1882; Arvilla born date unknown. I have my grandmother Viola's spelling book published in 1893 and given compliments of Roach & Ttetrick west side Sq. Rushville. In it she has her name and Erwin, Il and Rushville Il in it. My fathers birth certificate says Viola was born in Beardstown but her birth certificate was never filled out so I do not know if this is right. I have a family connection with the Ebenezer FRANKLIN Jr./Sarah Jane NORTHCUT that were residing in Schulyer Co. On the 1880 census they were living next door to a Joshula Avery family. I have a photo of a Joshula AVERY but do not know if these families are connected.

Alva Arthur NICHOLS was born in Roy or Ray, Illinois, January 30, 1870. His mother died when Alva was about three years old. Alva moved to Fremont, Nebraska, to live with an older married sister.

We are trying to find information about Isaac BELL from Schuyler County.

Searching for information regarding Isaac BELL's parents or additional background on the BELLs.  If you have any information on Julia WARD, that would be very much appreciated also, although we do not know if she was from Schuyler County or not.

MOORE, Henrietta is listed on the 1870 Mortality Schedule of Schuyler Co., Oakland Twp., IL.

Jill Zimmerman   2 October 1999
Recently discovered old family photographs of two family members identified only as "Grandpa MOCK, Sallie DALES father", and "Grandma MOCK." Sallie Mock DALE was the mother of Robert C. DALE. The first name of his father (Sallie MOCK DALEs' husband) is unknown at this time. The photo of "Grandma MOCK" lists Rushville on the back. Also found in the same box of photos is one of Robert C. DALE, and a note indicates Rushville, Illinois as place of birth, which based on date of marriage (1881) should be around late 1850's or early 1860's. This photo also notes on the back that the C. "He choose, but had no middle name."

The 1850 Census for Rushville, Schuyler County, Illinois lists a Robert MOCK, age 26, b. Virginia, identified as a laborer and living in the BAGBY household. This would make this individual about the correct age with a birth date of about 1824 to be the "Grandpa MOCK" who would be the grandfather of Robert C. DALE who married Nellie FELLOWS in San Francisco, CA in 1881. However, have no connection or documentation that this is the correct MOCK. Any help or leads appreciated.
