I am looking for information on the decendents and relatives of the DAVID WORLEY WATKINS family that lived in the Cairo area from pre Civil War days until some time after 1924. I am willing to trade Watkins family data.
I am looking for an ancestor that died 25 Dec
1961, Thomas Benton Turpin reportably died in Mound City, ILL from the
measles. Thomas was in the Indiana 10th Infantry Company H at this time. There
were several soldiers that died during this time. Any help you could provide
would be appreciated.
My great-grandmother, Charlote Corday Carter Fristoe, was from Mound City. She was the daughter of Henry Goodloe Carter, Judge and Postmaster for Mound City. He was the son of George William Carter, also a Pulaski County Judge. Both are buried in the old Beech Grove cemetery, but I could not find their headstones in all the brush. My great-grandparents were married in Mound City, at St. Peter's.
My father I think was born in Mound City ,IL.. William Joseph Edmondson 1897 Married Iva Pearl Davis also beleived to have been born in Mound City IL My father's mother's maden name was McQuinne( Not sure of the spelling)My mother and father had both brothers and sisters.I do not know their names. Any assistance given in this area would be greatly appreciated.
I'm looking for these ancestors:
Albright, Simon, Henry E. and William. My name is Shirley Dixon. I've been
trying to complete genealogy on the Albright family of Wetaug, Ullin, and
Pulaski, Il. The older family members are buried at the Mt. Pisgah Lutheran
cemetery in Wetaug, I've made 2 or 3 trips back there and can get little
information about this family. Can you give me a clue where to start?
My grandfather WILLIAM HENRY B: 1872 in Il - M: ADDIE MAE DOUGLAS B: 1876.
They lived in or around Wetaug and raised their children there. My father was
one of their offspring. Both parents died when most of the children were
young.
William's father was Henry E. Albright B: 1858 in Il - M: ANGELINA MARIA
STONER (STEINER). Her family appear to have been from Rowan Cty, NC, where a
lot of the Albright's migrated from. Sorry for the LONG note, but I'm getting
a little desperate. I love the Web Page!
I stumbled upon your Pulaski County homepage quite by accident and I was thrilled. I sincerely hope that you are able to help me in my quest. My grgrgrgrandfather Aaron Tucker settled in Johnson County. We first find him on the census there in 1840. He is, however, on the subsequent census of Pulaski County. We feel, therefore, that he did not move, but due to the redrawing of the county boundaries in the 1840's was listed in Pulaski County. He lived in the Grand Chain area. His land was in Township 14. Apart from wondering if any of his descendants are still in the area, I am also wondering if you might know of the cemeteries in this area. He was last found on the 1860 Pulaski County Census at the age of 92. He was not, however, listed on the agricultural census of 1865 so we currently believe that the must have died sometime between 1860 and 1865. His wife, Nancy (actually her name was Frances) is listed with the youngest son, Henry L.W. on the 1870 census. Without going any further into particulars, his daughter Malinda married Calvin Kitchell, son of Moses Kitchell of Pulaski County. His daughter Matilda married a Havens and his daughter, Frances R. married William J. Thompson. His son Andrew J. lived in the Olmstead area and Andrew J.'s son, Thomas Aaron and his family also lived in Olmstead. Son, John and Matilda may have lived in the Massac county area. Henry L.W. never married, but died at Creal Springs in Williamson County. I would love to hear from any descendants of these families and also to find out if there is a family cemetery in the area, and if so where.
I came across your web page while I was doing a genealogy
search. My name is Randall R. Harris and my father, Herbert Henry Harris was
born in Olmstead, Illinois. I noticed that you had the surname HARRIS among
those
in your database. My father died in 1975 and was buried in the cemetery in
Mound City where his oldest son, my brother, is buried. Do we have family in
common?
