Thank-you for your offer. I would like a look up if you're able.

I'm looking for the burial location of my 4th, John E. (Edgar?) YOUNG. He died June 1840 and buried at La Harpe, IL. Supposedly he was a 'man of the cloth'. He was married to Molly MITCHELL in 1809.

That is all I know of him. Any info you find/provide is greatly appreciated. Thnak-you!

Sincerely,
Larry Young

The Marriage Index of Hancock County, Ill. 1829-1849 Vol 1 (Tri-County Genealogical Society, 1983), page 30, lists license number 281 given to Alexander Martin Jr and Mary Ann Martin, issued on 15 June 1839, and marriage performed by DH Wells, JP. EarlyLDS.com lists them living at T7 R8, Sec 11, which would be immediately around today's Niota.

EarlyLDS.com also lists Alexander Sr and Margaret owning the same piece of property, along with Sec 14, NW/4 of the SW/4, 40 Acres (immediately south of Sec 11); Sec 14, E/2 of the NW, 80 Acres; Sec 15, NW of the SW (east of Sec 14), all in the same Twp.

The 1842 Hancock County Assessor's Record lists the following for Alexander Martin (doesn't say whether Jr or Sr, but does say that he is in T7 R8): Cattle: $50; Waggons: $30; Clocks: $5; Stock in Trade: L; Other Articles: $100; Total taxable property: $235

You may also be interested to know that living next door to Alexander in the 1842 Assessor's record was a John Martin who had $100 in horses, $30 in waggons, $10 in watches, and $10 in other articles, making $150 total taxable property.

Jeff, I just looked at Ancestry's 1840 census for Hancock County, IL and here is what I saw. "Alex Martin:1 male under 5; 1 male 5-10;1 male 15-20; 1 male 20-30; 1 male 50-60. Females 3: 1 female 10-15; 1 female 15-20 & 1 female 40-50." The page number was very light but could be 21. The Ancestry page number is 75 of 115. No township is given. I hope this is of some help.

I'm looking for a family that in 1839 were living in Hancock County, Illinois.

The head of household was:
Alexander Martin (which maybe was recorded, Alexander Martin, Jr.) He would be in the 20-30 years of age range. He would have possibly two or three women listed with him. One in the 20-30 year range and one in the 5-10 year range.

I realize the early censuses are tough sledding in locating families but if anyone has access to 1840 Census of Hancock County, I would so appreciate the help.

Re: microfiche of newspapers 1850-51

MaryKeller369 — 2009-09-18 18:13:55Z

I doubt you are going to find newspapers for Augusta for 1850-51. The
Augusta Eagle began in 1884 and has been in continuous operation since then.
There were some newspapers previous to the Eagle but--wow--copies of those
papers would certainly be scarce. If you find references, please let me
know!

There may have been some references to Augusta news items in the Carthage
papers but, as I said, I doubt you are going to find an Augusta newspaper
that goes that far back. Can I ask what you would like to find about
Augusta Twp?

Robert,
I have the obits for Jesse & Hesse but I would really appreciate a picture of their headstones. They were my ex-husband's great great grandparents.
I was lucky enough to receive a lot of information collected by one of his aunts, Hazel Harper Sutton. She died in 1975 so her research was done the old fashion way. I also have the book, The Descendants of Nicholas Cain, written by Shirley Evans & Wayne Cain.

Re: Henry White, b. 5/14/1782VT, died Nauvoo abt 1840

josjohnstun1 — 2009-06-08 16:19:03Z

The Sexton's Weekly Report for 24 August 1845, published in the 3 September issue of the Nauvoo Neighbor, lists:

"Henry White, 60y; unknown."

That does not mean that he died on the 24th, but the week of the 24th. He is not listed on the sexton's records, and his stone does not exist in the old Mormon Cemetery, if there ever was one. That is the cemetery that is at Casper Hollow—Casper Creek runs just north of the cemetery.

EarlyLDS.com lists Henry owning property at Kimball 1ST: Block 2, Lot 56, 1/2 Acre (the lot is on both sides of Fulmer St, from about Mulholland to White), and Kimball 1ST: Block 2, Lot 55, NE CORNER, 1/2 Acre (near the northeast corner of the intersection of today's Warsaw and Ripley streets).

If you contact me off the list and send me your email address, I will send you a copy of the Sexton's Report.

Hi! Thanx for the reply! I'll check out that cemetery. I came across something somewhere that said he was buried at "Casper's Hollow". I recently ran across a book, describing some of the old farms in Nauvoo in the 1840s, and it said they were looking for the Robison & Wells farms and went "... down into Parley St and followed it out into the well known Carthage road across Casper Hollow ..." and I believe passing the Old Mormon cemetery on the way. I guess it's possible that he died before the cemetery was 'formed' ... his wife & family went on to IA & Utah after he died. I've looked at the transcriptions of the Mormon cemetery that I could find, but no Henry White ... oh well!

Henry White, b. 5/14/1782VT, died Nauvoo abt 1840

MaryL_Stewart — 2009-06-07 21:16:44Z

Hi! My great X4 grandfather, Henry H White, husband of Rebecca (Smith) White, died in Nauvoo ... some say 1840 & some say 1845. Because only Rebecca (Rebecah) White is listed in the 1840 census as head of household, it fairly certain that he passed away at least before that census was taken.
I would love to know the exact date, and where he is buried!

So happy to see your post. I just discovered that my gggrandparents are buried in the Elvaston Illinois Cemetery. I would love to have pictures of their headstones. Here is the information I have for them:
*Ewing, Isabel- b: April 1, 1803 d: December 07, 1874
*Ewing, John C.-b: January 14, 1798, Kentucky d March 6, 1878 age 80y 1m 24d
I got this information from the Hancock Illinois Genweb. If you are ever in Elvaston, would you take a picture for me? You can e-mail me the picture if you are digital, or I'll reimburse any developing fees plus gas/postage. I appreciate your volunterism.

JDJames89 — 2009-07-10 01:05:00Z

Can anyone tell me who or where I would have to contact to find ancestors of mine in the Nauvoo Temple records? My direct ancestor Sarah (Thompson) Lindsey-Graham appears to be on an online index of only names for the temple’s endowment records, BUT I have no idea what other information might be with this record (parent’s names, etc) and am desperate to at least give it a try. She had a husband and many children who lived (and some even born) in Nauvoo between 1840 and 1848, so I’m not sure if there might possibly be records for the other family members as well. I have hit a brick wall here and have exhausted what readily available resources I can find. If anyone can help me out here, I would DEEPLY appreciate it. I've got tons of information about Sarah's children, so if there's anything I could add that might be able to help, please, PLEASE, don't hesitate to ask. I'm pretty desperate to crack this brick wall of mine.

A direct ancestor of mine named John Lindsay/Lindsey/Linsey appears to have died there sometime between 1845 and 1848. Is there any chance anyone with the name Lindsay shows up in any of your resources? Again, I hate to ask, but I've hit a brick wall with this family and am rather desperate.

I checked and found the obituaries and made a xerox copy of them today but I don't want to retype the info. I can't help with getting photos, but will send a copy of the obits if you provide me your mailing address. I don't charge, but if the obituaries help, and if you are able to make a small donation to cover our costs, it would be appreciated and used in some of the restoration projects we are involved in.

Barbara,

Since you have the obits, could you share them with the other person who asked for them?

I would suggest you contact the St. Marys Township Supervisor and find out who does the mowing at the Irwin cemetery, and see if they could take photos for you sometime while they are out there. I'm not sure I could even find it, I've only been there once or twice, nearly 40 years ago.

I tried to mow at the Old Brick cemetery this morning, but it was too much for my mower. I'll have to hire someone with a tractor mower.

I have obituaries of them, I think, in church periodicals in my possession. They were members of Providence Church, which is in the neighborhood of the Irwin Cemetery. I live about 20 miles away.

Does anyone have any information as to who built the Mauck Mill that was located in Dallas City, Illinois?
