I would like to exchange info with descendants of the Jeckel (various spellings)family that founded the Bluff City Brewery in Alton, Madison Co. in 1840's. Philip Ludwig Jeckel came to area around 1837 from Germany. I know of 7 children. I am descended from Wilhelmina Jeckel who married Jacob Haas from St. Clair Co.
Hoping to hear from some cousins, Linda Garrett
