Researching: BAGBY, MOORE
Looking for leads on Sylvanus J. Bagby, first husband of Sarah Frances “Fanny” Bagby Moore, who resided many years in Schuyler County. After marriage all records of Sylvanus disappear.
Sylvanus J. Bagby: born Louisa County, Virginia; married Hancock County, Illinois. Sarah Frances Bagby: born Greenup County, Kentucky; married twice
in Hancock County, Illinois; resided Schuyler County, Illinois; died Emmet County, Iowa.
Sylvanus J. Bagby, born about 1833 in Louisa County, Virginia, married Sarah Frances Bagby on April 16, 1857 in Hancock County, Illinois. (Source: Hancock County Vol 2, page 43 Lic #2927; Marriage Record – filed May 26, 1857. Married by James Stark (L.S.). License issued April 14, 1857 by H.J Fissenden, Deputy Clerk for C. Winston, County Clerk. Marriage date April 16, 1857). Sarah Frances Bagby (June 16, 1840 – March 26, 1923) was the daughter of William Bagby (October 11, 1816 — June 15, 1908) and Eliza Waring (January 27, 1822 – January 1, 1909). Both of Sarah Frances Bagby’s parents were born in Lewis County, Kentucky.
Sylvanus J. Bagby was the son of Rev. Alexander Bagby and Louisa Luck Bagby of Louisa County, Virginia. He can be found in the 1850 Census for Louisa
County, Virginia — enumerated November 5, 1850. His age is given as 17 and his occupation is listed as Asst. Farmer. Additionally, his signature appears as a witness to his father’s authorization for Arthur P. Bagby to marry Elizabeth Turner, signed October 1, 1849. Arthur P. Bagby is one of Sylvanus J. Bagby’s four brothers. The others were James M. Bagby, John Bagby, and William Samuel Bagby. No other record of Sylvanus J. Bagby has been found. He is not listed in the 1860 Census for Illinois or Virginia.
Sarah Frances Bagby second married William Thomas Moore (October 8, 1827 – September 15, 1890) on August 20, 1863. On their marriage record she is
identified as Mrs. Sarah Frances Bagby reflecting her previous marriage to Sylvanus J. Bagby. (Source: Hancock County Vol. 4, page 6, Lic. #1418. Marriage Record – Lic. issued Aug 18, 1863, married Aug 20, 1863, recorded Sept 2, 1863, by F. M. Corbey, Clerk. Married by E. L. Hurd, Minister of the Gospel). Sarah Frances Bagby and her second husband, William Thomas Moore, had three children: George Emmett Moore, Homer Otis Moore, and Margaret Maude
Moore. They were all born and raised in Huntsville, Schuyler County, Illinois.

According to a Robinson cousin both he and his wife are buried in the potters section of Oakwood Cemetery with no stone.
His Obituary in the The Macomb Journal: Thursday, August 2, 1883. Poverty—Death—The Poor-House
A pitiful case of sickness came to as can is the third ward of this city Sunday night last, in the death of a man named Lewis Robinson, who, with his wife and an adopted daughter, six years of age, have been living in circumstances of sorest need for some time. They came to Macomb something over a year ago from Schuyler County; Robinson was in poor health, and for sometime, we hear, canvassed as a book agent; finally his disease, consumption, advanced so far that he was unable longer to make a livelihood; the wife, having to wait upon her husband, could not earn any money, and cruel want was added to sickness. Through pride, we learn, they did not call on the Supervisor, and it was only about a week ago that the neighbors knew of their absolute hunger. During last week dysentery attacked the already consumptive man, and Sunday he died. He was burried Monday. Mrs. Robinson, while waiting on her husband, was also taken with dysentery and was very ill when her husband died. There being no relatives to take care of the woman, Supervisor Imes conveyed her to the county house, where she will be cared for until she recovers. The little girl was taken by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Creel, living east of town.
1880 Federal Census, Schuyler Co., Illinois: Brooklyn Township: Enumeration District 263, sheet 2: #17/18:

Her Obituary in the Macomb Daily Journal; Thursday February 22, 1917. Robinson
Through information received of Sol Pestle of this city it was learned that Mrs. Robinson who died yesterday morning at the county farm was the widow of the late Lou Robinson, who is buried in Oakwood cemetery. Her maiden name was Frisbie and she was born in Bethel township. William and Elisha Frisbie were her brothers.
The funeral services will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2:45 o’clock at the Martin chapel; interment in Oakwood cemetery.

Researching: WARING, BAGBY, FLOWERS, GRAHAM, BILDERBACK
I am looking for any leads or sources relative to the children of Basil Augustus WARING and Sarah L. THOMPSON. (Note that the name is often found
spelled Warring in source documents). The pertinent info on this family follows:
Basil Augustus WARING, b., April 7, 1775, in Maryland, son of James Haddock WARING and Anne BOONE, married Sarah L. THOMPSON March 26, 1818, in Lewis County, Kentucky. Basil removed with his family to North East Township, Adams County Illinois sometime in the late 1820s. Basil WARING died March 4, 1869, in North East Township, Adams County, Illinois – Sarah died August 31, 1890, in Birmingham, Schuyler County, Illinois.
Their one known and documented daughter is: Eliza WARING, b., January 27, 1822, in Lewis County, Kentucky. She married William BAGBY, November 29, 1838, in North East Township, Adams County, Illinois (source – Illinois State Marriage Records, Marriage License issued November 26, 1838, County Commissioners Court, Quincy, Illinois, Nicholas Wren, Clerk.) Eliza Waring BAGBY d., January 1, 1909, in Augusta, Hancock County, Illinois (source — Gravemarker in Woodlawn Cemetery, Augusta, Illinois); William BAGBY d., June 15, 1908, in Augusta, Hancock County, Illinois (source — Gravemarker in Woodlawn Cemetery, Augusta, Illinois).
A second known daughter is: Fannie WARING who married Will FLOWERS. Little is known about either individual. The sole documentation is a photograph taken at the 60th Wedding Anniversary of William and Eliza Waring BAGBY in 1898. The note on the back of the original picture states: “Mr. & Mrs. William Bagby taken on 60th Wedding Anniversary. Mr. & Mrs. Flowers in the back. Married 29, Nov. 1838. ‘Mrs. Eliza Waring Bagby (Mrs. William Bagby) and Mrs. Fannie Waring Flowers (Mrs. Will Flowers) are sisters.”
A third daughter is believed to be Mary Ann WARING. This belief is based on the following. The 1850 Federal Census for North East Township, Adams
County, Illinois enumerates the household of Basil WARING. Living at the home at this time were his wife, Sarah Thompson WARING, John J. GRAHAM, David
GRAHAM, Basil A. GRAHAM, John GRAHAM and Sarah HUMBLE, a domestic and her daughter, Spaina. John J. GRAHAM is the father of David, Basil A. and John.
A transcription of the 1850 Census listing is show below.

The Illinois State Marriage Records (from the State of Illinois Archives and the Illinois Historical Society) show a marriage between a James J. GRAHAM
and Mary Ann WARING in North East Township, Adams County, Illinois on November 23, 1837. This marriage (the variation in the first name is noted)
combined with the fact that one of the Graham children bears the same name as Basil A(ugustus) and is living in the Waring household, leads to the belief
that Mary Ann WARING is one of the daughters. It is presumed that Mary Ann died before the 1850 Census. No other information is known about this family.
A fourth possible daughter is: Cynthia (Cinthia) WARING, who married John BILDERBACK in Schuyler County, Illinois, March 28, 1844, (source – Schuyler County Marriage Book, Vol. 1, page 121, License #1042). Based upon the age shown in the 1850 and 1870 Census for Schuyler County, Cynthia WARING was born about 1823 in Kentucky. John BILDERBACK was born about 1819 (based on 1850 and 1870 Census for Schuyler County) and was born in Lewis County, Kentucky. Cynthia was the second wife of John BILDERBACK – he first married Lydia WALKER on April 19, 1838, in Schuyler County, Illinois.
This John BILDERBACK is the half-brother of William H. BILDERBACK who married Frances BAGBY on October 12, 1829, in Lewis County, Kentucky (source – Lewis County Marriage Book A, page 95). Francis BAGBY is the older sister to William BAGBY who married Eliza WARING, as noted above. William BAGBY met Eliza WARING during a visit to the home of his sister Frances. Given the geographic proximities and other family marriages, it is possible that
Cynthia WARING is a daughter of Basil and Sarah WARING – however, no documentation is known.
Any help, leads or source information is greatly appreciated.

Researching: FRY
I am looking for information on the ancestors of Daniel Alfred Fry and Dedie Pearl Welty Fry. What I know of my ancestry line is limited, but I will share
what I have. This is what I know so far: my grandfather’s side of family: Daniel B. Fry m. Harriet Davis. Children of Daniel and Harriet: Daniel Alfred, Flora, Myrtle, James, and Allan. Daniel Alfred m. Dedie Pearl Welty (these are my grandparents).
My grandmother’s side of family: Levi Welty m. Martha Clerk 9/19/1869. Children of Levi and Martha: Dedie Pearl, Fred, and Ella. Dedie married Daniel Alfred Fry (my grandparents).
Grandma Dedie died when my dad (Lyle) was very small (1923 I believe). Grandpa Daniel Alfred remarried Helen M. White about 1929. Grandpa died about
1951.
To my knowledge, all marriages and all births took place in Schuyler County; however, a lot of these people seem to be buried at Industry Cemetery, which I understand is in McDonough County.
If any of this sounds familiar to anyone or if anyone has any connections or leads you might be able to give me, please e-mail me directly.

I’m trying to find out if there is still a newspaper from Ill. that is called the Prairie Farmer? Could you give me any info on this. I’ve been searching the internet and can’t find a web site or any other info on it. Our relatives said that they got it about 20 yrs ago and want to know if it is still around.

In doing alot of digging and snooping on your web page, I have come up with two discrepancies in the Noel cemetery in Birmingham, they are:
not right should be
Eliza C. Graham Noel Eliza C. Thompson Noel
d. July 24-1876 d. July 24/ 1876
wife of T.C. Noel wife of T. C. Noel
not right should be
William Leon Noel William Leon Noel
d. sep. 9. 1875 d. sep 9. 1875
son of T.C.and E.G. son of T. C. and E.C.
2 m. 4d. 2m. 4 d.
William Noel Sr. married Sarah Ann Graham on 2/3/1842. William Harrison Graham married Eliza Ann Noel 9/14/1837. T. C. Noel married Eliza C.
Thompson 9/13/1866 after he came back from the Civil War in 1865 after being held a prisoner of war 1863 to 1865.
As far as I am able to find out, Sarah Ann Graham was a daughter of James Graham, brother to William Graham. Eliza Ann Noel was a sister of William
Noel, both came from Wrightsville Pa. York county in 1834. She was 18 and he was 16 at the time. I have her family traced back to France 1680. My Grahams
back to Scotland 1650.
