William Mercer (1850) - Pulaski/Union Co. Leona/Lenora

DRDocYoung — 2009-10-01 05:01:39Z

I am interested in any connection to this Mercer line, marriage/death/obits of William F. Mercer (1850), m. Leona/Lenora unknown maiden or birth year. Both may have died between 1873-1880

The following are census findings, of William's parents Thomas Mercer & Minerva nee Allen 1850-1860 and 1870 census of William, age 19/20, in both Pulaski & Union Counties.

In the 1870 census I find two William Mercer's 6 miles a part, one living with a Lenora Baggs, b. abt. 1828, IL and the other with his sister Caroline/Charlotta nee Mercer Briley. I am pretty sure both Williams the same person and since notes of my cousin has William m. Leona, I presume Lenora is whom he married abt. 1871-1873.

First born George Allen Mercer, Sep 1873, IL, found in 1880 census, no parents. My presumption is both William and Leona/Lenora died after 1873, bef. 1880 in either Union or Polaski Counties.

Re: Anderson Family of Olmstead, Pulaski, Il

ThomasKer2 — 2009-09-02 19:29:39Z

I'm not related to this family.

FYI -
All census records prior to the 1850 census only listed the head of household; whether male or female.

NO specific age was stated for any family member
NO place of birth was stated – city, state, or country
NO marital status was stated – single, married, widowed, divorced
NO family relationship was stated – brother, sister, cousin, son, daughter, wife, inlaw, etc…
NO occupation was stated
NO parental birthplaces are stated
NO city, township, or village was stated; only the county
NO race was stated [but assume “white”]

1850, 1860 & 1870 census records do not show family relationships or parental birthplaces

Originally, the area within now Pulaski County was a part of Alexander County. As a result of an act of Legislature, dated November 3, 1843, the county of Pulaski was formed.

Re: Orbin Brack

maquonlady1952 — 2009-01-11 16:34:50Z

Orbin was killed March 16, 1930. The news article about it ruled no foul play, so those involved were let off. I can send you the news article. Certian ones were to be held over for grand jury. I called the coronor there, but I don't think he's all that interested in going thru old files. I tried your e-mail but it came back. How far do you live from Mounds City,IL? I could send you the news article if I can get it thru on your e-mail

Orbin Brack Inquest Records

maquonlady1952 — 2009-01-11 06:12:26Z

I have on a few occasion called to the Pulaski County Coronor for records on my Grandfather's death and with little success. He was killed in Mounds City and there was an inquest about his death. I have a newspaper article about it, but I was hoping to obtain whatever records might be there about the inquest. I don't know if anyone is willing or can help me with this but if so I'd be glad to pay for the mileage, and copies etc.

Re: Miller Echols & Phoebe Ann Ellsworth

curti_m — 2008-12-17 06:31:01Z

Miller Echols in IL 1850 is not Milner:
WALTON CO., GA 1850 census
#560
Milner Echols 78 m VA
Susannah 62 f "

I doubt Miller was b. IL as IL didn't become a state till 1818, after becoming a territory with the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. The 1850 IL census is the only mention I've found of Miller. My best guess is they came from KY because that's where Augustus was born. If someone were to put a gun to my head & require me to guess, I'd guess Phebe was a dau or gdau.

POW/MIA Korean War Pulaski Co. MAXWELL

powmiadna — 2008-06-08 11:43:01Z

I am searching for the family of a soldier who was killed in the Korea War. When he entered service he gave Pulaski County Illionis as his home of record.

Soldier: JAMES MAXWELL
Born: 1924 Caucasian
Date of loss: April 25, 1951 MIA

When the Korean War ended the enemy never returned or accounted for over 8,000 of our servicemen. They died in their hands. That was over 50 years ago. Since that time DNA has been perfected and also they are recovering remains in North Korea. Our government is obligated to return those remains to the proper family. DNA samples have been obtained from most of the families of these missing soldiers. For various reasons some families have not been located. There are 112 families in Illinois that have not been located. There is one family from Pulaski County that has not been located.

When the remains are recovered and identified they will be returned to the family for proper burial. I am just an old (76 years) Combat Veteran out of the Korean War and thankful that I did return. I consider this a very noble cause and I hope that you can help in some way to find this family. For more information on the project you may go to http://www.jpac.pacom.mil/. My part in the program is to match up the lost families with the proper agency.

I will be grateful for any assistance in locating this family.

Re: County courthouse records are deteriorating

sunshine125 — 2008-04-24 19:56:21Z

Here's a suggestion. Contact the Illinois Genealogical Society and work with them. They have microfilm records all over the state at the universitites....called IRAD (Illinois Regional Archive Directory I think). Southern Illinois University at Carbondale is where I request information on my family that lived in Union, Pulaski and Alexander Counties. Maybe, just maybe, they have summer programs for college students that would undertake the project, or know of an organization like a county group or state group that might undertake the project.

It's a suggestion....and I, too, would be willing to contribute to the costs. I live in Florida and cannot provide manpower.

I believe this is the Fannie Wooley who married my great-grandfather's brother William Harley Wilson 7 May 1882 in Pulaski Co. I never knew who her parents were. I'm not sure what happened to him. Do you know if they were divorced or if he died. I found a William Harley Wilson who died in Clinton, DeWitt Co., IL on 31 May 1928. I have been meaning to send for the death certificate.

BTW, at the time of the 1870 Census, the household of August, Louisa, and Alonzo included Minerva (8yrs), Kate (6yrs), and John (4yrs) Nickens. ???Whose kids are these?

Re: Miller Echols & Phoebe Ann Ellsworth

johncook790 — 2008-01-05 23:10:57Z

Paul: sorry. got carried away and didn't finish (that happens to senior citizens...)
Since I can find no trace of "Miller" prior to 1850, I'm wondering if he's not "Milner" Echols, found earlier in Georgia. That might connect him to Benjamin Echols, also in Pulaski Co in 1850, and born in GA. Just a thot. Also updated the message subject, since you and Brian already helped me find Sarah - a year ago... Thx. Elizabeth

Re: Looking for information on Sarah (Echols?) Lentz Nickins

johncook790 — 2008-01-05 22:24:51Z

Paul: Never really thanked you for the great info on the Echols-Nickens relationship(s)! Really helpful in sorting out the children and grandchildren of these people. What I didn't follow up on is to ask you if you have any information on the antecedents of Miller Echols and Phoebe Ann Ellsworth. The first information I can find about them is the 1850 Census, where in Miller is 94yrs and Phoebe is 25yrs. Any help you can provide would be great! And, I owe you and Brian some information I didn't provide earlier: I undertook the family research as a favor to my sister-in-law Kathy, gr-dau of Harry Nickens. Thanks and Happy New Year!

Information on Henry Davis and Lucy Bell

clowbridge1 — 2008-10-11 02:30:45Z

Henry Davis was born with black parentage in 1840 in Mount City or Cairo ILL. and Lucy Bell born with mixed Indian parentage about 1850 in Tennessee. They were married in Pulaski Co.in 1870 and I believe lived all their life in Pulaski County after being married and were buried in a cemetary in this county somewhere. I would like to find out more information concerning where they were buried and if possible who their parents, brothers and sisters were.

Re: Miller Echols & Phoebe Ann Ellsworth

pe714 — 2008-01-06 14:18:29Z

Elizabeth,
No problem. It has been difficult connecting the dots here. Miller was born in IL and I have found copies of legal documents with the name Miller so I have to assume that is correct. There were so many children between the three brothers of Jesse, William, and John, I still believe he comes from one of them. I have not had an opportunity to research it as well as I hope to do when I retire some day. My direct e-mail is paulechols@yahoo.com if you need it.

Re: Looking for information on Sarah (Echols?) Lentz Nickins

pe714 — 2007-05-12 03:54:30Z

I see where my California cousin Brian Nickens has responded to you, and assume he has answered your questions. But just for fun, I thought I would add that Sarah Echols was the sister to my Great-Great-Grandfather August Echols born in 1844, died in 1919. Their parents were Miller and Phoebe Ann (Elsworth) Echols. Sarah was born and raised in Pulaski, County Illinois. I take care of the cemetery where August and my Great-Great Grandmother Louisa (Nicken) Echols are buried--New Hope Cemetery-Ullin, IL. Brian and I are double-cousins separated by four generations and a lot of miles (Both Sarah and August married a Nickens--Brother and sister--Huston and Louisa). One of August's sons was Alonzo 1869-1956 (my Great-Grandfather). One of his sons was H. E. Echols 1893-1925, my Grandfather and then my father Maurice August* John Echols 1924-1972 (*changed his middle name to John after WWII). For what that is worth--Paul Echols
