Everybody, including me past the test. The only reason I sent the test was because for some unknown reason I was bounced off the Cook Co., mailing list. I've since resubscribed.

I'm not sure if this applies to the question on Will Co concerning the Civil
War HOME GUARD, but in Missouri, there were Home Guard units made up mainly of
German immigrants. They appear to have mostly taken part in local skirmishes
due to Missouri's volitile position in the Civil War. The Germans were
mostly all on the side of the Union. You could do a Google Search and read more
about Missouri's home guard and have an idea of the mindset of the units and the
men. From what I've read, some of the

My husbands great grandfather, Isaac " Lewis " Burdick was a member of Co.
D 100th Illinois Infantry from Will Co. IL and died in 1902 and is buried in
Union Cemetery, North of Meno, Major Co. OK
He was married to Mary Louis Countryman also from Will Co. IL.
Anyone looking for them? Lois Burdick

Recently on the history channel (back in January, I believe), there was a
special on a Civil War prisoner of war camp near the present day University of
Illinois site. My memory is foggy on most of the details of the show, but it
seems that the Home Guard played some role in running that prison. I seem
to remember something about ''Cottaqe Grove'' as the location. You might
try running a Google search on civil war prisons in Illinois, and you might
find a ''back door'' to the Home Guard.
Now that everyone is paying attention...is anyone researching the Robert
Fraser line of Plainfield, Illinois?

I've been researching in Will County for more years than I care to admit to, but I have never come across a reference to a Home Guard. The closest thing I can find to it is the fact that the Illinois General Assembly in 1861 passed a law requiring that the townships prepare a list of able-bodied, free, white males between the ages of 18 and 45, subject to military duty. As far as I know, the lists were to be filed with the Clerk of the County Court and the Adjutant General's Office in Springfield. The l
I forgot to add that I don't remember seeing any of the Missouri Home Guard
units named with numbers or letters. They were typically named after whoever
commanded them, one of the more famous in Missouri being Kraeckel. (not 100%
sure of that spelling).

Hi Gerald,
the only Lay connection in my line was a misdirection. Parsidia Hughett
married a Lay; but it was a cousin to MY Parsidia who married James
Randolph. I have a little about the other Parzidia who married a Lay if you
want that. I'm despearte to find the parents of James Randolph who married
Parzidia Hughett. Nancy

Nancy,
Where did your Parsidia Hughett who married the Randolph live?
The one who married the Lay rings a bell and sounds like one from Scott
County TN?
