Dear Listers,
I am wondering if sks would look in the Muscatine County Plat maps to see if
there is any reference to GRIMES, in particular Robert GRIMES. Also any
reference to C.C. COOK or Butler ELLIS. These last two men were husbands of
Amelia (widow of Erwin/Ervin JENNINGS) who married C(hristopher) C(olumbus)
COOK and Alma Grimes (divorced from Henry WILSON) ELLIS.
If there are any other GRIMES listed, I would be interested in knowing the
given names, too, and in what twp in the county they had settle

Hi,
I would like to thank all who offered to help me in my quest for the
marriage date & place of George W. McCoy to Harriet Nye. With the help of
three different people and with writing to the Mercer County Clerk's Office
in Illinois, I have the information and obtained a copy of the document.
George W. McCoy married Harriet Nye on 26 Jul 1836 in New Boston, Mercer
County, Illinois. Thanks again all!

The POORHOUSE STORY website (at http://www.poorhousestory.com ) is a
clearinghouse for information about 19th century American poorhouses. We are

on the MUSCATINE County GenWeb site which document information about the
Muscatine County Home cemetery. There are also notes about how the research
of the cemetery was accomplished. This is a wonderful effort! (And we do
mean "effort" ... as in "hard work" and "dedication.") We wish more
