Looking for info. on the Thomas Jones family who lived around Irishtown. He married Lucinda Ellen Kittle 7-8-1877. Children in the household were Alvin Tatom m. Alice Truitt, Frances Kate (Tatom or Jones) m. Charles Apple, Edith (Tatom or Jones)m. Charles Nettles and Annie m. ? There was also a Willie Vogel living in the gousehold. I need info. as to whether the children were Tom Jones natural or adopted children.

This site is superior! Thanks so much for all of your work!

I am wondering if there is a volunteer that would be willing to meet me at the Barker Cemetery this summer to help me find Emma McDowell's tombstone? I would be looking for her mother - Elizabeth's and her father's - John as well.
Thank you!

I am a descendant of the Chezem family who lived in Cumberland, Clinton and Jasper counties in the late 1800. My gr. grandfather was Marion Alexander Chezem b. July, 1848 and married a Jane Talbott b. 1844- 1851. They had 5 sons and 1 daughter

Per the 1900 census in Irishtown Twp Clinton County:

James Alexander b. Oct. 1870

Squire George b. Nov.,1875

General Frank b. May,1878, my grandfather

Oscar C. b. May, 1886

E. Roscoe b. June, 1892 per the

Ivy was the daughter and I have no information on her.

We do have the Chezem Genealogy book, but it has no data on Jane Talbott. I have searched to no avail for information on all three county's sites and the Illinois archives for marriage license or death certificate information on her. Do you have anything available to you that I cannot see? Thank you so much for any assistance you might be able to provide.
Sincerely,
Diana Battersby

While still searching the Hofbauer/Hoffbauer family I came across 2 children that my great grandparents had Maria Hofbauer and Joseph Hoffbauer parents are John and Therese Hofbauer. They died in infancy. Can you tell me where they are buried at.

Thank you

I previously uploaded this photo to your website but it is too large for this message. Through a Google search I found your site and the New Memphis Station School. My photo show a Memphis Station School dated 1923.
This photo is in my family collection but I can\'t identify my family connection and I don\'t know if there is a connection to Clinton County, Illinois.
My family mostly migrated from eastern Kentucky to Florida.
Any help would be appreciated.

GREAT website--Does anyone have a picture or memory of a grocery or mercantile store in Aviston on the north side of Third St between Page and Spring. The store was owned by my GG-Grandfather, Henry Marks prior to his death in 1893. Later the store was operated by my G-Grandfather, Anton Eilermann until about 1895 when it was sold to Henry Kortkamp. The building was probably torn down in the 1950's. I would very much like to hear from you

An "Anonymous" message was left for us with questions about Henry Edward Kohrmann stating he never married and was born September 26, 1881.
Nancy Moss has rechecked the images of the church records for both the baptism and the marriage and found the information we report on http://clintonilgenweb.net/churches/stcecilia/baptism_k-u.php to be correct. We show a KOHRMANN, Henry Edward, born 7 Jul 1891, baptized 8 Jul 1891, and Married Emma HOLLENKAMP, 15 Feb 1916.
It is possible there are two different people named Henry Edward Kohrmann. If you wish further information, please contact us.
