In the 1880 Census for Sedgwicke Co. KS my grt. grt. grandmother was listed as
Anna and born in Illinois. I have no idea what county she was born in that is
why I have gone to the county list of IL for help.
I went to the LDS center and her husband had a pedigree and that is where I
found her listed as Rhoda Ann Chapman, but someone had guessed that she had
been born in 1849 in Nashville, Davidson Co, TN.
So would you please help me find her and thanks and blessings to you.

Which Chase are you looking for? My ancestor was Ashur Chase who lived in
Greene County but had land in Jersey County.

proved that they weren't. NO record of them either. All the records and
notes disappeared.

Wow -- I cannot believe what a great response you have all made to my question
about the Germans in this county. Fantastic emails and thanks to everyone!
This is a great list!!

Marty sent me this article from the Alton Telegraph re the renovations of
Noble Cemetery, which was one of the Cemeteries that vandals hit a year
ago. This is great, these people have worked hard, donated monies, etc. to
restore Noble. They are to be commended.
The sad and ironic part is the last paragraph of the article. I have made a
judgement call, deciding not to print the names of the teenagers involved,
or the one killed, using only "teenagers" in place of the names.
I will place this article on
This information can be found on the Jersey County Web pages. Jersey County
is already downloaded, but if you are intereted in other counties, GLO is
the sight to go to. Information about GLO records can be found at
http://www.rootsweb.com/~iljersey/twp.html
Look for the links under "Click a Township". There are links to explain the
GLO records and to go to their sight, also.
Ron and I explained this earlier, just in different terms :-)

Believe I may have given this to you, Bob, but thought perhaps you may have
lost it. Nancy Landon is Nancy Davis Landon (Mrs. Alonzo H. Landon.)

1850 MORTALITY SCHEDULE for Jersey is up at:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~iljersey/1850mortality.html
I did not include the Cause of Death, in order to conserve on Web space,
but if anyone is interested in a particular one, please just ask and I will
send to you. I particularly found this interesting, as some 48 or so
persons in Jersey died of Cholera between June 1849 and June 1850. It
appears to have almost wiped out a few families. Surnames I noticed:
LONGWILL/LONGWELL, remember the Longwill Cemetery
Our records show the same date. Could have been read or even typed wrong.
Only way to prove it is to go back out and re-read the stone. I don't see
that happening while we still have more then half of all cemeteries in
Jersey county to read the first time.
Would appreciate any help you can offer.

Marty and all,
This is what disgusts me. There wasn't a State law on cemetery destruction
in that time era, I don't think, but even if there were, Imminent Domain by
a Government can accomplish alot. That is my concern about the Calhoun
cemetery. I have had first hand experience with the Law of Imminent Domain
when the city government of a small town tried to force my Dad to sell his
property, so they could build a firehouse. We immediately got a lawyer and
after much goings back and forth, we won. But
This isn't all that simple, you know. Yes, I knew there was a law, but
can't give Marty the exact location/statue of that law. But I also know
that sometimes the law is bypassed with other methods, such as one cemetery
I am aware of, was dug up for a housing development and the bones were
taken to the State Museum. Is that the answer? I don't think so.
If you can give us more detailed information re this law, we sure would
appreciate it. I do believe some of the people in Calhoun are looking into
th
