BALDWIN
I'm looking for my great-grandmother, Mary Alice
Baldwin, who was born in Illinois 31 August 1830. She married William Calvin Taylor 31 October
1850 in Macoupin County. They stayed in
Illinois until at least 1865, were in Missouri for a brief period around 1867,
then went to the Oregon territory where they homesteaded near Mann Creek in
what is now Washington County, Idaho. Does
anyone have any information on this family?
I have been unable to locate parents or siblings of Mary Alice. I do have some information on William
Calvin's family.

CAUDLE
I am searching for information about Dr. John Caudle of
Scottsville, Illinois. I do not have a
DOB for John but he was married to Mary Ruhl (Rule)
DOB: May 1, 2820 and Death September 1, 1891 (she died in Arkansas). I understand that you do not do research but
am hoping that you can post this bit of information and that someone might pick
up on it.
Dr. John Caudle and Mary Ruhl had:
-John Caudle,
-Sion Caudle,
-Sam Caudle,
-Jane Caudle Jones,
-Betty Caudle (married name not known but could have been Bueter),
-Emma Caudle (who died as a young woman) and
-Lucy Caudle Butcher.
Dr. John Caudle died (date unknown but in Illinois) and Mary left
Illinois with any unmarried children and moved to Arkansas where they Homesteaded. Mary died in 1891 and is buried
at Woolsley, Arkansas. The only child that I know came with her was
John Caudle, Jr and he worked in the Logging
Business.
Dr. John Caudle and Mary Ruhl (Rule)
were my Great, Great Grandparents. I have joined Ancestry.Com
but have NOT found any useful information there.
If there is a Scottsville Historical Society then perhaps I could
join that.
Thank You for your assistance, however great or small.
Sincerely,
Maxine Clinton Kreis mxkreis@newwavecomm.net

Trying to get birth dates, burial
dates, cemetery, burial places on Duger/Chappell/Penn

JONES
I am trying to identify the
parents and wife of a George W. Jones who is stated as residing in Macoupin Co.
IL in 1872; at that time he and his wife Elizabeth (not Parthinia)
owned 20 A. of land in Fayette Co. IL jointly with Calvin J. Butler and his 2nd wife Cynthia B. (Donaldson). This land was W 1/2 SW1/4 SE1/4 sec 24 T8N
R1W, located about a mile east of Bayle City.
Calvin J. Butler died intestate 3 May 1873 at his home near this
location. This 20 A. was bought from
neighbor Richard Gray in 1867, and later sold back to Gray. What was the explanation for the joint
ownership in 1872? Was George W. Jones
or his wife Elizabeth (surname unknown) related to Calvin J. Butler, or to his
2nd wife Cynthia B. Donaldson (whose first 2 husbands were James W. Pruett and
Charles Seagle), or to Calvin J. Butler's first wife
Martha Jane Hicks (who d. in 1863)?
Calvin J. Butler's next eldest son Aaron G. Butler b. 1839 named one of
his sons Oren Jones Butler, and there has been no explanation for why Oren's
middle name was Jones, although it is suspected that Calvin J. Butler's middle
name is Jones. Was
Calvin J. Butler related to the family of George W. Jones?

MARTIN
I have been searching for years
for information regarding a George and Joseph Martin associated with Staunton, Ill
and keep coming up empty. My information
is sketchy but this is what I have: George Martin and Martha Martin (apparently,
her maiden name was Martin also) were both born in England. They met on the boat coming from Galway,
Ireland. They married in Boston when
they landed and then moved to Staunton, Ill. George was wounded in the
civil war and died. His son,
Joseph Martin (possibly a prize-fighter) married
(unknown name from Cornwallis, England) in Staunton. Somehow they ended up
in Utah, because their son Joseph Martin was born in Castle Gate Utah in 1895
but had returned to Illinois by 1910. Joseph
Martin Jr was living with Aunt/uncle George &
Jennie Neary in Madison, Ill in 1910. Joseph Martin Jr
married Violet Elsperman in Sangamon County abt. 1920
and settled in Springfield. I would be sooo grateful for any insights into this family line, or
even any general information as to what might drive a young couple from England
to come to Staunton prior to the civil war. I am equally perplexed why a couple from
Staunton would move to Carbon County, Utah around 1890-1900 and then return to
Illinois.

STRUTHERS
Hello, my name is Dina Struthers-Stultz
and I'm trying to find personal information on my
Great Grandparents James and Jesse Struthers. I'm told my GGP worked for
Superior Mine as a Safety person in Gillespie and died in 1957. My GGM was in the Lady Douglas Lodge #37, Daughters of
Scotia and died in 1962. My Aunt Elizabeth worked for Dr. O'Connell
for years as his nurse and died in 1988. All of
them are buried in the Gillespie Cemetery. Any personal information would be appreciated. I have the birth and death
certificates so I guess I want any information in between those
dates. I realize I'm asking a lot at this
late stage so if there is no information to be found, I'll
understand.
Thanks.

VANDERGRIFF
I have been searching for marriage and/or death records for Jesse Vandergriff and his wife Lucinda Martin (I believe) Vandergriff. They came to Macoupin
County previous to 1840 and were in the 1850 and 1860 census.
Unofficial records indicate that Jesse (b. 1811) died in 1860 but I have
no official record of his death. His wife, Lucinda (b.
1815) was in the 1850, 60, and 70 census' in Macoupin County.
She was listed on the 1880 census in the town of Fayette in Greene
County. That is the last time she appears. Any information about these two or other Vandergriffs would be greatly appreciated.
