Is there a listing for William Maley? He was a Doctor from County Mayo, Ireland. His wife's maiden name was Mary Walsh. I Have no confirmed parents, brothers or sisters names for either. Their surname may be listed as O'Malley, or Malley. Of their ten children only four names are known:

Mary married Laurence Gilltrap. One daughter was born in Jersey County, Anna Gilltrap married Joseph Charles Murray in 1890.

Thomas [About 1830, Ireland-1906, Jersey County, Illinois] married Cecilia [maiden name unknown] lived in Jersey County and had one son, Peter [1860-?]. Have his funeral home record but not the cemetery record.

Ellen [about 1834-1891] married Mathew Clines. No known connection to Jersey County.

Anna [1834, Ireland-1924, Audrain County, Missouri] married Patrick Gibbons [1831-1891]. No known connection to Jersey County. He is not the Patrick Gibbons listed in Jersey County.

Any information on these names would be appreciated.

HI, it seems like we have corresponded before, but I cannot find a trace of it. I have two West families in my Richey line of Jersey Co. First is Rachel West who married John Davis of Madison Co., KY, they moved to Franklin CO., MO, then some of the children back to Jersey/Greene Co., IL.

The second line is of Willima H H West, b. c1840, married Mary Jane Richey, 1864. He a son of Vincent & Edy (Wright?) West. I find Vincent on the 1840 cen. of St. Louis, MO, and he was on the 1850 mortality schedule of Jersey Co., as died Jan 1850, age 50, born VA.

Edy on the 1850 cen., with 5 ch. She next to Edward West,

Looking for information on the George Barnes who was living in Jersey County in 1870 with his parents Aaron Barnes and Almira Post. Aaron was born in 1830 in Vermont. Almira was born in Illinois about 1831. She was the daughter Luther and Emily Post. George married Nancy Lauvetta Keown 25 Dec 1889, place unknown. I have a document of the Thomas Porter Keown family, that states that George still owned property in Jersey county. George and Nancy were living in Kansas by 1900. Would like to know more about the family. I will share the Thomas Porter Keown family with anyone who wished to have it.

I found an obit for a John Tonsor who was also born in Furstenburg, Germany around 1833 which is the right timeline for being a brother to my Caroline. His obit states that ith his parents, 2 sisters and 1 brother, Mr. Tonsor came to the United States in 1853, and settled in English township.

A possible connection...

Caroline Tonsor Bunse

JulsGo — 2009-08-29 04:51:38Z

Hello. I am looking for information on Caroline Tonsor Bunse. She married Frances Bunse in Germany (date unknown). Frank and Caroline came to the United States on 23 Jun 1852 on the ship Edmund. They arrived in New Orleans. They left from the Port of Bremen. They settled in English Township, had 7 children (one being my 2nd great grandmother), and are buried at St. Mary's cemetery.

I am trying to see if any of her family also came to Jersey County, like siblings. I know there were/are Tonsors in the English Township/Jersey County area but can not find a connection between her and any of the other Tonsors.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Kevin....I am reviewing replies to JOEL GRANT. OK you figure this out... Joel is son to MY Gaunt Electa Jane Androus/Andrews Crocker. Electa is sister to my Ggrandfather William Edward Andrews.
William had one son Charles ("Charlie", "Tot") William Andrews b.9/1899 Jersey Co.

Charlie/Tot had 2 sons William LeRoy - 1924, Herschel Edward- 1926. Both born in Jersey Co.

I found Joel G in Green Co. 1910 as a laborer. And I found his WWI draft card.

Every census since the death of Grant...Joel G. lived with his Grandparents Andrews and after their death (1905-6) Joel lived with his Uncle Joel Andrews.... Electa married a Crocker had a daughter..that daughter had 3 daughters a relative (an elderly daughter(now) will not communicate with me... still in Jersey Co.

Re: Acy Powers and Mary Rowden Powers

dgirth — 2009-08-14 22:20:24Z

First, without going into detail, can you give me your father-in-law's first name. I have him and all his siblings in my file. I want to put you into the file in the right place and with a notation that you are researching the family.

Second, Mary Rowden Powers was a granddaughter of William Echols Rowden and Mary Levina Pruitt(some show her name as Levina H but that's wrong). Mary Rowden Powers' father was Harden Joseph Rowden and his first wife Lucretia. Lucretia most likely died about 1854. Harden and Lucretia had 7 children. Harden then married Lucinda Jane Prowe in 1855 and they had 8 children.

Third, I believe you have found another Acy Powers in the Civil War records. The only Acy Powers that I found (using several databases) was one who served in a Georgia unit. According to Grant and AJ in the 1900 census, their father was born in Missouri. From what I've have found on numerous Civil War veterans, they usually served for their birth state or their current residing state (if the same side as their birth state). There was an Asa F Powers from Colorado who served, but the unit he was with fought in Kansas state for the most part against the Indians and a few times around the Kansas City MO area, but never got into the central and eastern parts of the state where Washington Co is.

Fourth, here is what the Washington Co MO (via US Gen Web) is showing from Brian Oster's marriage records contributions when searching for Asa Powers -

Asa Powers
page 158
Washington Co MO
Asa Powers & Miss Mary Rowden; married on Tuesday, 26 October 1869 by George M. Effinger, ordained M. G. at Washington Co., Mo

Fifth, AJ's brother Grant was the younger one of the two. AJ was born in Feb 1872 and Grant in Jun 1872 both dates per the 1900 census.

Re: TUCKER

juliedpowers — 2009-08-14 16:19:02Z

I was just informed that Wesley was also married to Lra Tucker. Any information from this marriage? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Acy Powers and Mary Rowden Powers

juliedpowers — 2009-08-14 01:47:49Z

Debbi...

You're right about WHO WAS ASA/ACY Powers... I cannot find him in Illinois Gen Web, or Illinois state website. however, I did find him listed as Acy Powers in te Illinois Civil War Soldiers and Sailors wesbite. It was pretty interesting to say the least. However, I cannot find Marriage records for Mary Rowden or for Acy/Asa. However, they did have more than just one son Andrew Jackson... they also had a son older than Andrew by the name of Grant NMN Powers. He is the informant on AJ's death certificate. Plus all of the children of Grant, AJ's son... remember Uncle Grant Powers. Grant lived in Grafton where AJ was hit by the train when he was reportedly 55 years old.

Now, which Mary Rowden is this? I don't assume she's the daughter of Abram Rowden, so this must be the Mary daughter of William, Abram's brother. Abram's daughter Mary Jane was older by 2 years I believe. Please let me know??? If you know of course.

Re: Acy Powers and Mary Rowden Powers

dgirth — 2009-08-14 00:32:08Z

Asa and Mary Rowden Powers were married in Washington Co MO where Mary had moved to with her father and step-mother in the 1860's. They were married on 26 Oct 1869. The 1880 census shows that their son Andrew is living with Mary's brother Miles Franklin Rowden, his 3rd wife and his family in Jersey Co IL. There appears to be some conflict regarding Andrew's birth since in 1880 he's listed as being 11 years old born in MO and in 1900 he's listed as being born in 1872 in IL. To complicate things, Mary is reported and appears to be single living with her father and step-mother in 1870. She may have been separated but I suspect that Asa may have died by 1870 and she was pregnant with Andrew thus her residence with her father and step-mother. I also suspect that Andrew may have been an only child. Then with Andrew living with his uncle in 1880, this may be a clue that Mary had died as a result of his birth or between his birth and the 1880 census. I can not find Mary in 1880 census or thereafter. Who was Asa Powers? I cannot find any Asa Powers in Jersey Co IL or Washington Co MO in 1860 or before. This could be a sign that Asa was not his first name and in the census as a child with his parents he is listed under his proper given name when then creates a problem of its own.

DoAnd-C — 2009-08-13 19:17:47Z

Joel Grant TUCKER-b. 1894 Father: Grant Tucker mother: Electra Jane Androus/Andrews b. 1869 Jersey Co.

Yes Electra and Grant did have 2 sons...1st one died as a very young child...I want to say a fire....Grant died shortly there after.

From what I understand....Grant was an illegitimate child of Matilda (misp) Tucker...her father was James b. OHIO

I can trace Joel (Joe) Grant Tucker through WWI draft card he was a laborer in Green Co. after that....nothing that "I" can find.

Electra went on to marry a Crocker they had a daughter.

Hope this helps...
Joel Grant was raised by his gradparents Joel and Elizabeth Androus/Andrews.

Re: Hamilton Brothers

mham1 — 2009-07-12 04:49:11Z

I am looking to verify the parents of Bushrod W. Hamilton as William and Lydia {Trask} Hamilton and his ancestors as Silas son of Elisha Hamilton. How have you connected them? I have seen them William Hamilton as the son of Dr. Silas Hamilton, who is in turn the son of Elisha Hamilton, all with VT roots. My problem is that Elisha and Mary (Smith) Hamilton's son, Silas, was b. 2 May 1773, Brookfield, Worcester Co., MA. Phillip Gray gives Silas's b.d. as 10 May 1775, Tinmouth, Rutland Co., VT. My guess is that these have been incorrected connected as the same person and are really two different Silas Hamiltons. You seem to be descended from this family or know information. Can you help me with documentation that sorts these families out? Thanks, Marsha Hamilton

The Wm Coates that I have was born in Apr 1864, Greene Co IL, to Alfred Coates and Mary Alma Monk Coates (Alfred's 2nd wife, who was also the sister-in-law of his first wive). Alfred was born abt 1829 in Tennessee. About 1850 Alfred married #1 wife, Eliza Jane Finley (the older sister of my GG Grandmother, Frances Finley Monk) in Arkansas. Mary's parents were Shadrack Monk (b 20 Dec 1802 in Russell Co VA) and Margaret (last name unknown) (b abt 1798 in NC). I've never heard about Indians in either of these lines, but, clearly, I don't know a lot.

I got this information from a biography. My main interest is with Clarence and William Hamilton, who married the daughters of Abraham Jett, who is my family line. There is a posting from Rhonda Morgan, that you might be interested in. She is a Grandaughter of Bushrod Hamilton. I will be glad to keep you in mind, and let you know if I find any thing.

English Township in 1860...

Trying to find my Munsterman family in 1860... In 1850 they are in Township 8, Range 12 and in 1870 they are still in Township 8, Range 12. In 1880, they are in English Township which I believe is the same area as Township 8, Range 12...

When you look on ancestry, there is no listing of T8,R12 OR English for 1860... what area is that called? The husband of the family (Clemence Munsterman) died in May 1860 and was/is buried at St. Mary's Cemetery... I am assuming that the Munsterman family (wife Johanna, sons Adam and Anthony) are still in the area in the 1860 census but not sure where...

There is only a C. Marshall and a Thomas Marshall in Jersey County in the 1855 census. There is a James in the 1860 and 1870 census for Jersey County. In the 1860 he was 23 (b. 1837) living in Phils Creek Twp. He was born in Ohio. Parents were Michael and Sarah Marshall.

The James Marshall in 1870 is a different one from 1860. He is 28 (b. 1842) living in Twp 9, R 10. He was born in Illinois. Living with wife, Martha, also age 28. A son, William, age 2, and most likely a brother, John Marshall, age 25. From the marriage records, this James married Martha Ann Britton, 23 Aug 1866 in Jersey County.

Do you have any information on William Coates. I hear stories from my dad and he says Williams wife or someone down the line was a full blooded indian. I have been trying to verify this but keep getting dead ends. I would appreciate any informatin on the Coates family you could supply.

Thanks
