HOOKER
T. Frey – April 2002
Looking for information on the family of JasperHooker, b. 1843 in Schuyler Co., IL. His father was Samuel. I have foundthe family in various censuses. IL marriage records show that Jasper Hookermarried Sarah Jane Beghtol on 11/07/1867 in Schuyler Co. My biggest questionis regarding Jasper’s oldest daughter, Mary. Family records say she wasborn April 16, 1865 (2 yrs. before her parents’ marriage). Her birth yearbased 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, Ican find no record of a previous marriage for Jasper. Does anyone haveany information about this family?

SPIVA – SPIVEY
George Holt – April 2002
In researching my family history, I have come toa dead end which would only be opened with some help from someone in SchuylerCounty. Perhaps you may lead me to someone or be of assistance yourselfin my problem.
My great grandfather Andrew Spiva (Spivey), wasborn in or near Schuyler County on January 15, 1811. He was the third sonof one Joshua Spivey; the first two sons were William and James Harvey.Andrew married Tennessee Noble on 8/6/1829 in Schuyler, their marriagewas 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 Censusfor Clear Lake #21, which I have been informed is an area in what is nowSchuyler. The family members listed on this census agree completely withthe family history of the Spiva/Spivey family of Schuyler.
Are the graves in the cemeteries in the County listedanywhere? I would like to know where the above J. Spivey is buried andwith whom. I do know that my Andrew returned from Texas, after his secondwife died, with two children. One of these children, a Mary Ann Comal Spivamarried James P. Starr in Schuyler on 8/19/1866. My Andrew died, accordingto
Bible records, on 9/27/1867 in Schuyler County, where I do not know.
Again, if you could lead me to someone who may beable to assist me in this search I would be extremely grateful.

Any information regarding George W. (possibly Washington)Adams would be appreciated. I believe he was born in Schuyler County, ILpossibly 5 Sept. 1856. I have copy of his marriage license to Julia (Mallory)Adams that I received from the Co. Clerk’s office.
