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?

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.

STINNETT/BLACKWOOD
I am looking for information on Eliza I (Louisa) Stinnett Blackwood born 16 Feb 1832 or Dec 1835 in Cohecy Precinct,
Macoupin, Illinois or Tennessee. Daughter of John Stinnett 1796-1870. Her family was in Pike County, Arkansas
by 1850. Eliza married John Blackwood around 1855 and spent most of her life in Pike County, Arkansas. She died
3 Oct 1918 in Howard County Arkansas and is buried there. Her oldest daughter, Rebecca, is repeatedly recorded
in the census as being born in Louisiana. I want to know when the family was in Louisiana and why. Eliza's daughter,
Mary Ann, was my Great Grandmother and the family has passed down the story that she was part Cherokee Indian.
I would like to know if this is true.
I would love to receive email at joycekil@hotmail.com
Thank you, Joyce Kilpatrick

Trying to get birth dates, burial dates, cemetery, burial places on Duger/Chappell/Penn
families in Macoupin County. My grandmother was Grace Brent (nee Dugger) was born in Carlinville, Il. I think she
had a brother names Barton Dugger. Their parents i beleive were Samuel Barton Dugger, and (Sophia??) Grace Dugger(nee
Chappell). I think Samuel Barton Dugger parents were Leonard Wesley Dugger and Sarah Dugger (nee Penn). I am trying
to trace the Dugger/Chappell/Penn lines further back.
