I just wanted to let anyone know who might be searching " Hamilton Co
Illinois Resource Page"....hosted by Misty Flannigan....that Hamilton Co
census 1880 ...Twigg that states it is.... COMPLETE...has a mistake.....
that I have written many emails to the person in charge...but have not had
any luck getting it changed......so I would like for everyone to
know.......if you are researching BULLARD in Hamilton Co 1880 they are
there. Under Twigg 59/59 they are listed as RULLARD .....
Thank you

Mellonville was also called Flint near the turn of the century and is
located west of McLeansboro about 4 miles then back to the south about
a mile. It is only a crossroads now with only a couple of buildings
left. I believe it is in Knights Prairie township.

Ronnie,
I noticed you are researching the Mitchell name. By any chance do you have
one Francis (Fanny) Henrietta Mitchell in your line? She was born 24 Mar
1854 and died 17 Oct 1938 ~ not sure where. She was married to one John
Tedford and I know they lived in Delafield, IL at one time. John Tedford is
buried in Blooming Grove, IL.
She then married a Fred T. Grimes.
Would appreciate it if you'd have time to
Steve,
Yes, there was a son of Ira Munsell named Jackson. 1833 is the best
guess for his year of birth, so it makes sense now that the entry is for
Jackson Munsell.
Misty sent me the .gif of the page, and I looked at it briefly on the
screen, but didn't get a chance to print it out and really peruse it.
Jackson it is, I'm sure.
Thanks for helping.

Sam,
I add my kudos to Shirley's remarks. It is a great site. I had been
looking for an obituary for my sister that recently passed away. I was
pleased to see that the Newspapers link allowed one to search many
issues back to search for a name, etc.
Thank you for sharing.

Audrey and others,
Living in White County, between Posey and Hamilton, I would say that
there was a great deal of migration between Posey and several counties
in IL. There were a number of families with large contingents on both
sides of the Wabash River, but many who spent time near Mt. Vernon and
then moved west. These are the factors I have noted: 1. German
migration into Posey, Vanderburgh and other SW Indiana counties which
encouraged earlier settlors to leave the area. 2. Relatively poor soil

Shirley,
I don't know about anyone else , but I'm not on vacation ! ( I
wish ).Unfortunatley I have no answers, but it is a very good question. I
have one person who had at least 7 different people who wrote depositions
for pension. It made for a very large file and a lot of writting for
someone. It's hard to imagine that they would hand copy everything.
Maybe we will get some good answers from this. Would you still need to
send to the National Archives for a copy of the records ?
Good Luck,
Trev and Shirley,
I was thinking the same thing, that it may be AOL. This topic, though,
could get us on a totally non-genealogy subject. Call Them.

there a way to clean them without damage? Thanks. Judy Anderson

I wondered this myself!!! and it does say in the book that they came from a 4
scrapbooks that someone had given them (Old Montgomery Ward Catalogues). It says
they went thru and picked out only the ones for Hamilton Co, and they were from
all over the country. But I didn't even think it could have been Grandma's.....

A probate record will probably be the only source of a death in ca
1850-1860, unless you can find an account in the newspaper. If he was a land
owner and his land had to be sold to pay debts or be divided among heirs that
could also give a death date.
Finding his tombstone could give you date of death and birth.
If he served in a war and was drawing a pension at the time of his death, you
would probably have a death date in those records.

Speaking of giving out your mother's maiden name to the bank, has it occurred
to anybody yet that you need to lie about that? Since we are all involved in
genealogy, you know our mothers' maiden names have slipped out or will slip
out somewhere along the line. Somebody tried to steal our credit card number
from somewhere recently, and the credit bureau asked us for a "password"
rather than mother's maiden name. That made me aware of the need to have a
fake name for mother's maiden name for such pu

YES, I saw the announcement a few weeks back from Rootsweb. You all are so

Thanks to everyone for the many comments, directions and stories about Mellonsville. I visited Carol's site and have a great map of forgotten ghost towns. I can now put a place to some of the names I have been hearing. Why didn't I think of this sooner. Oh, well!!
I appreciated the story from James about Mellonsville and their games for entertainment. I don't think we missed anything there.
Thanks again. You're all so helpful and what I like most is - no question is considered dumb!
