Smith family cousins around Waukegan and Ivanhoe, IL.

DallasDSmith — 2013-05-05 21:07:55Z

Smith families are hard to trace, especially as I live in Oklahoma! I have a whole bunch of Smith relatives buried in the Ivanhoe cemetery in IL. It leads me to believe that there MUST still be many 1st, 2nd and 3rd cousins alive in that Chicago, Waukegan, Lake county area possibly that I'm related to. I'm hoping there are others there searching for us also!
Eber Holden Smith died in Ivanhoe in 1898, along with his wife, Sarah Ann Hayes in 1892. They had 7 children, most died in Lake county.
Thomas Byron Smith died in 1916 in Waukegan, and his Alma Ester Handy wife died in 1920 there! They had 8 children who died around the Waukegan area, except one. When Thomas brought his family to Oklahoma, Lester died in western OK in Carmen. Over 100 years later, I have found his grave. After Lester's death, Thomas took his family back to IL. where he started. No cause for Lester's death here in 1902 at this time. Could have been Indians, fever, sickness, drought. It's a big mystery for me!
So based on all this, I can't help but wonder where all my Smith relatives are now living. I would really love to contact someone else interested in the Smith genealogy. If anyone knows of any Smith research or books in the IL area, please let me know ASAP. Thanks

Hello, I am not related to this family, but I did do a little research for you.

Minnie Alice Davis appears on the 1880 Census.
Her father is listed as Samuel T Davis born Abt. 1845 in PA. Her mother is listed as Mary Davis born Abt. 1845 in PA. Also listed are two siblings: Nettie J Davis born Abt.1868 in Illinois and Theodore D Davis born Abt. 1874 in Kansas. I found a marriage record for Nettie. She married a W C Reeder. There is a death certificate for Nettie Louis Reeder that indicates she died Aug. 19, 1924 and that her parents were Samuel Davis and Mary E Goehring.
I found the 1880 census at Ancestry.com and the other information at FamilySearch.org which is a free site.

Re: Portrait & Biographical Album of Lake County, IL- Lookup request

The only 2 Paddock's mentioned in the book are:

Lewis A. Paddock
William Robert Paddock

However in the Historical Encyclopedia of Illinois there is a brief mention of a Mr. and Mrs. Philo Paddock:

Some First Things and Early Happenings:
Births in the county:

Osbert Paddock, son of Mr. and Mrs. Milo Paddock in October 1836 in Benton Township.

But no other mentions of Philo and none of Henry.

If anyone has access to this book and could let me know if there is information on either person I would greatly appreciate your assistance.

Nancy,
I am so sorry I just found your post. I don't know why it wasn't posted to my email to let me know someone responded but it wasn't. Today there was a message because someone else responded and I was surprised to see to older posts I didn't know anything about. I am not the one who came across this information it was another person. Her name is Julie and she came across it in an old Bible. I would love to exchange info with you too. I hope your still interested.
I descend through Jane's daughter Lilly that lived with Anna and Mathew Hall in Canada. Lilly was my great-grandfather's mother.

Re: Help my 90 year old friend find his past family please.

Angeliquestokes — 2013-02-17 22:37:47Z

What would be really awesome is to find out if they have any of old family photos that we could put in his book for him.. Maybe I could contact him and see if he would mind me letting some of his newly found family have his phone number. Thank you again I will do a bit more research and see if I can find more names and get back to you to see if its the same family line.

Re: Help my 90 year old friend find his past family please.

Angeliquestokes — 2013-02-17 20:49:17Z

Just an fyi for you Mr. Foster Thompson did tell me that Mary had married a Kundinger he was not sure exactly how they spelled it he had thought with a K. He also knew his first name was Robert. He is an amazing fellow. He has told me that his mother was a nurse, and a singer will let you know more once I find the rest of my notes.

Re: Help my 90 year old friend find his past family please.

Angeliquestokes — 2013-02-17 20:37:11Z

Thank you that is highly possible I believe they had several children.. this is so exciting to see so many getting involved to help make this gift for Foster. He will be in total awe!
