Reply to COVELL Query below:

Found them in the Prophetstown cemetery with the name mis-spelled as Corell!! Probably the DAR people just misread the stone.

Corell, Clarence 1852-1927

Emaline E. 1866-1944

Guy Franklin 1898-1937

Carroll Edward 1903-1924

Clarence is in the 1870 census in Tampico Twp.

Covell, Emery 32 M NY Farmer

Julia 37 F NY

Clarence 7 M NY

Although...this makes Clarence, born circa 1863, 20⁄21 when he married, but Emeline would have been 38 which seems like quite a difference. I don't trust census dates unless confirmed, maybe Emery said 17 for Clarence's age to the census taker but it was recorded as 7. An Ester Covell (1894-1980) is buried in Tampico Cemetery.

Bob Mosher

From Curtiss M. Trout...more clarification on this line.

(1) Bob, your "Clarence 'Corell'" is indeed "Clarence Covell", but the one in the Prophetstown Cemetery with Emaline E. Covell and the one shown in the 1870 census (son of Emery and Julia Covell) are undoubtedly different people. (2) Emery and Julia's son Clarence grew up to marry Stella Needham and their family is shown below. (3) Guy Franklin and Carroll Edward are children of the above Emery and Julia. (4) The Ester (sic) Covell you found in the Tampico Cemetery who died in 1980 is really Esther Stenros Covell who married Clarence "Glenn" Covell, son to Clarence and Stella. She is buried in Tampico with the other Stenros children (Louis, who was born in Sweden, and Carl, Dorothea, and at least one other daughter who married at least twice and whose name escapes me at the moment). (5) Al Covell has done extensive research on the Covells (e-mail him at ). He has discovered numerous Covells who resided in Cook Co. and elsewhere in IL outside Whiteside Co. Among them are Clarence and Emaline (who he took by their ages to be brother and sister). Since Emaline shows up several times in the family, it is quite possible that Clarence and at least one of the Emalines were in fact husband and wife, or perhaps the sibs were visiting when death overtook them.

I am looking for my birth mother, Bay Wiemken. I was born on Nov.7,1948 at Sterling Hospital in Whiteside County Il. The name is all the information I have except that she was supposed to be a widow who had five children when I was born. My adopted parents names were Frank and Elzene Weber of Prophetstown, Il. Do you have any information or can you advise me where to look?

I am trying to tie up loose ends on a family that reportedly lived in Sterling, IL in the late 1800's up through at least 1940. George and Amanda (Hester) Dudley are reported to have lived in Sterling and perhaps died there after 1940 when their daughter died in Florida and they "accompanied the body back to Sterling, IL for burial" according to the newspaper. Since both were already in their 70's at that time they probably died in the next few years after that. I believe all four are buried in Sterling, IL. They had two children, Ruby and Floyd, both of whom died without marrying. This is the end of this line as far as we know right now. Ruby died on 22 June 1940 in Miami, FL and a newspaper account of her death indicates she was taken back to Sterling for burial. Floyd is believed to have died in his teens in Sterling. They were born in the late 1800's, also in Sterling we believe. I would like any information on birth dates, death dates, burial locations, etc. that might be found in published indexes in Whiteside County, IL. If an obituary could be found, I would like that also. I would be happy to pay any costs associated with this information. Charles E. Templer 12221 Wedd Overland Park, KS 66213-1670 (913) 685-3219

Reply to Miller John Query below:

George D. John (1840-1928) served in Co. C 47th PA Infantry. Mary A. John (1848-1937) Both are buried in the Friends Cemetery at Penrose, Jordan Township as you mentioned. This is a Quaker Cemetery. Did you know that?

There was a big family named John in that area. Write to the Sterling Public Library, 102 West 3rd Street, Sterling, IL 61081 or call them at 815⁄625-1370 to ask the cost of them looking an obituary up for you. I think they charge 3 or 4 dollars for this service. They may charge more now. Arlene Onken

Interested in ancestry of Mary Alice MILLER who was born February 03, 1848 in Pennsylvania and died March 10, 1937 in or near Sterling, Whiteside County, Illinois. She was married to George Dillwyn John. The John's lived in Jordan Township in Whiteside County near Penrose and are buried in a small cemetery there. If any one has access to obituaries from 1937 and could look up the obit for Mary Alice, I would greatly appreciate it. I am most interested in what her parents names were (perhaps they will be mentioned in the obid).

Reply to Harrison Tompson Query below:

The Harrison Thompson marriage was reported in the Whiteside Sentinel of 14 Oct 1875 as:

Married 6 Ovt 1875 by Rev. Geo T. Chrissman; David G. Harrison and Lizzie W. Thompson, Ustick Twp.

. I did find the graves of William and Jane Thompson, they are buried in Grove Hill Cemetery in Morrison, IL (I grew up in Morrison, my parents, grandparents, etc. are buried there). Lot 6AE, residence Unionville and the information agrees except William's date of death is given as 6 Jan 1905 instead of 8 Jan. Knowing their names helps a lot as there are 29 PAGES with Thompson listings in the 1860 census! I checked them all, and unfortunately none matched your info. The closest was a Wm age 45, born NY, wife Mary J. age 38 in Lyndon Twp. Did not check ALL the Thompson's in 1870, but there were no families in Union Grove Twp. Ah ha!! Decided to check Mt. Pleasant Twp. Morrison is adjacent to Unionville with Morrison in Mt. Pleasant Twp. and Unionville in Union Grove Twp. Found this household:

Green, John S. 38 M NY Mechanic

Nellie A. 25 F NY

Harry S. 4 M IL

Ivy 1 F IL

Thompson, Lizzie 24 F Sc x x Domestic

So Lizzie was working as a maid in the Green household in Morrison, can tell it was in town by the occupations of the surrounding households that this was in town. Looked for other Thompsons in these twps born in Scotland, but found none.

Found your Harrison family in Union Grove:

Harrison, Thomas 65 M En x x x Farmer

Eliza 34 F En x x

Sarah 22 F IL x x

David G. 28 M IL x x Farmlaborer

Schindler, Gabriel 24 M Sw x x Farmlaborer

One thing about this bothers me, normally children are listed in order by age. When you see one at the end, out of order that often means that the person was NOT a child of the head of the Household! However, in the summer of 1870 when the census was taken, David George was NOT married, so if he married it was between then and when he married Lizzie in 1875.

Haven't shed any light on David's possible first wife, but from this, I would suspect that Lizzie's parents were living elsewhere and moved to Unionville AFTER she married David George Harrison. There was another Thomas Harrison in Union Grove, younger born in Ireland, so probably not relevant. I have an 1872 plat map and the two farmed adjacent to each other at the SW corner of Section 13, about 1 mile south of the west edge of Unionville.

Found a couple interesting items from death notices in the Whiteside Sentinel...

21 June 1877 WS; Harrison, Thomas; 72 yrs; d 19 June 1877, Morrison; b 29 May 1805, Glossop, Derbyshire, England; there was a foot of snow on the ground the night he was born, a phenomena which has not occurred in that region since at that time of the year; came USA, 1841, from New Orleans, via Mississippi River; lvd (lived) Beardstown, IL (Cass Co.), 2 yrs, mvd Union Grove, then Morrison, last fall. Buried Morrison.

14 Aug 1873 - WS; Harrison, Annie; 27 yrs; d 13 July 1873, Clinton, Iowa; wife of John S.; b England ; mvd with parents to Whiteside Co., 1861; movd Clinton 2 yrs ago; bur Grove Hill Cemetery, Morrison.

Harrison, Charles; 5 wks; d 30 July 1873; son of John S. and Annie Harrison; bur in same grave with his mother.

18 Mar 1869 - WS Harrison, Willie; 2 yrs; d 14 Mar 1869 at resi of Thomas Harrison, Morrison; son of John S. and Annie Harrison.

In the 1860 census, the Harrison family is:

Harrison, Thos. 55 M En Farmer

Nancy 54 F En

John S. 26 M En Farmer

Eliza Ann 24 F F En

David G. 18 M IL Farmlaborer

Mary H. 15 F IL

Emily J. 13 F IL

Sarah L. 11 F IL

Charlott E. 9 F IL

Goodwin, Wilber F. 20 M Vt Farmlaborer

So...David had an older brother, John S. who married an Annie, had one child who died at 2 yrs old, and then Annie apparently died of childbirth and that child died a few weeks later.

Response to LAMPHIRE Query:

Dinah,

Since you have the 1860 census, I assume you know that her family would appear to be that of Smith Lamphere, age 52 with son John, 22 and daughter Harriet, 15 who are shown in Prophetstown Twp. in the same census.

Eleanor is buried in the Prophetstown Cemetery as:

Lamphere, Eleanor w. of S. d Oct 10, 1859 aged 47 yrs 6 mo 15 da.

Did not find burials for Smith or John...a couple other Lamphere's, but born in the late 1890's.

Response to Olmstead Query:

Hi Scott,

Henry Olmstead is buried in the Minson Cemetery in Sec. 18 of Prophetstown Township.

Olmstead, Henry, d Dec 28, 1866 - 83 years.

Other Olmsteads in the same cemetery are:

Olmstead, Edna C. son of O. & E., d. May 10, 1856 - 1 yrs. (that's what it says, "son" ) Olmstead, Henriett, dau of H. W. & M. M. d Dec. 31, 1859 Olmstead, another name on the same stone - broken off, bu she died Nov. 6, 1855 - 23 yrs.

From the 1860 census mortality list, Henriett(a) was 5 yrs old, and was born in Illinois. Looking at the 1860, there were some apparently related families, and Oliver and Electa (the O & E above) and next door, a Daniel and Octavia. A farm further away was Henry (75) and Sarah (66), and apparently his son, Henry W. (30) also with wife, Sarah (29).

Response to MANNING SYLVESTER Query below

Denise,

Tried emailing you, but your mailbox was full!

In the 1860 census, there was a Robert Manning family, and also a Fanny Manning working as a domestic in another family, did not look like yours. In 1870, there are SIX Manning entries, but again, none of them were yours. Checked the Sweger books on Marriages and Deaths, and did not find any of your family. Also checked all of these and found NO Sylvester's. While all of these have error⁄omissions, from my experience am surprised that there are not at least some entries!

You may want to check adjacent counties, especially Clinton Co., IA. There was a ferry (later a bridge) between Fulton, IL and Lyons, IA and families did move back and forth. Or Lee County to the east, there was also some exchange between the Sterling-Rock Falls area and Dixon, or even down the Rock River towards Moline.

Response to HUNSBERGER Query below

Pamela,

You would probably be better off requesting birth certificates for Lane and Hunsberger. The indices that are available for genealogists to search, etc. are for earlier years, I believe they stop at 1880. The county clerks office is very helpful, I think they charge $7 for a certified copy and unfortunately, cannot provide uncertified copies!

Someone MIGHT have the 1900 census and be able to check that...there were around 8 or 10 LANE families in the 1870 census (latest one I have), but that would probably be one generation earlier! Another option would be to check the obituary in the Sterling Gazette. That might give Grace's parents.

REPLY to COLEMAN⁄BOWEN Query

Here's some more deaths of Coleman's from the Lyndon Cemetery Records.

COLEMAN, John d. Oct 19, 1881 87 yrs War of 1812 marker

Harriet w. of Orin, d. July 6, 1875 48 yrs.

George so of O. & H. d. Mar 19, 186? 2 yrs 6 mo

S???na (?)w. of William d. Dec 20, 1870 47 yrs

Lillian, dau of Wm. & S. d. Mar 6, 1861 1 yr.

Sabina Belt 1846-1936

These records are alphabetically, so this DOES NOT mean the graves were together. John is the one who died in Missouri, and S???na is Sophrona, wife of William. No idea about Sabina Belt COLEMAN. The way the dates are would indicate a different type of stone, may be unrelated.

There were some BOWENS in the Lyndon Cemetery, two whose ages match fairly closely, but may be coindences!

BOWEN, Sylvester d. Nov 16, 1876 71 yrs (Lester?)

Hellen Teller, 10⁄25⁄1852-4⁄9⁄1890 (Hellen?)

From an 1872 Plat Book, William Coleman owned 121 acres on the west side of what is now State Hwy 78 in section 7 of Lyndon Township, about two miles north of the intersection with Hwy 2.

Living this close, I would expect a relationship, John and Elsa probably parents of William and Perry Coleman.

From Deaths in Whiteside County by Jayne Sweger:

COLEMAN, John d. recently at Philadelphia, Missouri; a former resi of this county; buried at Lyndon last Saturday (from the 27 Oct 1881 Whiteside Sentinel) Would appear that the "parents" John and Elsa and probably others in the family left Whiteside and moved to Missouri between 1860 and 1870.

Reply to NEEDHAM query below.

This looks like your family, in the 1870 census in Prophetstown:

Needham, George 30 M Pa Farmer

Mary 22 F Il

George 1 M Il

There were two other Needham families in Whiteside, William 42 of PA living also in Prophetstown Twp., and Joseph, 45 of PA living in Tampico Twp. All being from PA and of similar age, I would suspect a relationship.

Just checked my 1872 Plat map and would be SURE of a relationship! If you are familiar with section layouts, the NE 1⁄4 of Sec 25 in Prophetstown Twp was owned 1⁄2 by W. Needham, 1⁄4 by G. Needham and 1⁄4 by J. Needham. J. Needham also owned 56 acres adjoining this, but across the township line in Tampico Twp. and his house was on that property.

Reply to CUNNINGHAM⁄FERRIS Query below

There are only five officially recorded marriages in Whiteside of male Cunninghams. These were to females with names of Clara Edna Babcock, Lizzie Connelly, Grace Devine, Edda Belle Smith and Susan A. Moffat. I had those purely by luck, because I copied a page with Culbertson marriages last time I was in Illinois!

Does the birth certificate give the fathers full name? I note in the 1870 census, there is a Ferris family and a Cunningham family living near each other south of Sterling in Hahnaman Twp. No children in the Ferris family, several in the Cunningham one. There was another Ferris family in Fulton with 2 daughters. Both of these Ferris families are too early to be your Pearl's parents, could be Grandparents.

Response to Heather query below

In the 1860 Census Wm. Hether is listed, the listing is a little different so will list it all:

366⁄346 $3000⁄410

Kosleman, Chas. 42 M NY Farmer

Lucinda 37 F NY

Lorinda 17 F NY

Rhoda A.14 F NY

Elizabeth 12 F NY

Austin 10 M NY

Chas. 7 M NY

Jason 5 M NY

Wm. 6m M IL

⁄347

Martin, Geo. 29 M NY Farmer

Caroline26 F NY

Julia 7 F IL

Franklin 1 M IL

Hether, Wm. 27 M Ir Farmlaborer

The 366⁄346 and 366⁄347 are what throw me...the census starts out with 1⁄1, 2⁄2, etc. If place is unoccupied it would be like 4⁄ so the next one would be 5⁄4 and the numbers get out of sync. This would seem to mean that their was perhaps one farm with two dwellings, the Martin family lived in the second, Kosleman's were the owners since the property value is listed with them, and Wm. Hether was a hired man living with the Martin's.

Ustick Township and Clyde Township (to the east) had a LOT of settlers from Ontario, esp. near Toronto, including Jehu Mosher, my GGGrandfather. Other families from Canada were Lavalla, Hollingshead, Martindale, Rice, Lameraux, Cochran, Currie, Blue, Kelly, Shaukster, Hough and others. Many came about 1838⁄9 and at least some were involved in a short lived revolution called the Patriot War. I have not found too much on this, it apparently did not last long, but some of the participants feared retribution and left Canada. It may be that only a few of the immigrants to Whiteside participated, but that they then recruited others. Several mills were built at this time, my GGGrandfather was a millwright and may have been recruited by someone who had moved a year before.

I do NOT find any Heather or Hether in the 1870 census.

I'm also interested in finding more info on, and descendents of, Jacob HOLLINSHEAD Jr. whose descendents immigrated to Whiteside following the Patriots War in Canada, and his son John HOLLINSHEAD who in fact was one of the first settlers in Whiteside, and his wife, Elizabeth RUSH who was also a resident, and whose mother, Julia Ann was one of the first adult deaths in Whiteside County. These two Rush women are tied somehow to Benjamin Rush, signer of the Declaration of Independence. Thanks for your help, (and I sure hope html works on query pages!!) Robert

Need info on Olaf A. JOHNSON and wife Augusta Charlotta SHOBERG. They moved to Morrison, Ill in Whiteside County in about 1912ish.They had sons Ray and Earl and daughter Virginia who was handicapped with them. Olaf had brother Nels, could have last name of Andersons instead of Johnson, since they came from Sweden at different times. And he has a sister Mrs. Elaine PETERSON. They share a Large tumbstone with Leanord and Edith ANDERSON at Grove Hill Cemetery. There children Bessie and Ben Anderson are buried there also. Olaf, Augusta, and Virginia JOHNSON are on the other side of the large tumbstone. Along with Olaf's second wife Mrs. Jennie Brown. I have really nice picture of the JOHNSON family (poss. reunion) in about 1928ish. I only know 5 people in this picture of many people. Would like to find out more about this family. They are my great grandparents (thru son Raymond, who came to Washington state to live and die) and their obits make them sound so very special. I need lots more info. Am Willing to share what info I have. I have been to Morrison several times looking for them in this very lovely town. Please help.

Eva 12 F IL

Didn't find your Slawson family in either 1860 or 1870, but there was another Slawson family in the Springhill, Portland Twp. area:

Jo,

I found your family in the 1860 census in Hanaman Twp, but NOT in the 1870.

Duffy, Owen J. 48 M Ir Farmer

Jane 32 F Ir

Thomas 11 M Ir

Daniel 9 M Il

Judith 7 F Il

Peter 1 M Il

From the ages, it would appear that the family came to Illinois around 10 years earlier (Thomas born in Ireland, Daniel in Illinois) and they may have left before the 1870 Census. Looked at Hahanman on my 1880 Plat Book and the name Duffy did not appear. It would probably be possible to get someone to search the Grantor⁄Grantee recordings of land transfers in Whiteside to determine when and to whom they sold the land.

Reply to WEBB Query below.

Jonell,

You may have this, but the full dates for your Webb's in Franklin Methodist or Cottonwood Cemetery are:

Webb, Charles G. June 1, 1812 to Dec 29, 1873

Webb, Sarah Jane, wife of C. G. Apr 22, 1813 to Mar 26, 1846

These came from the publication by the Whiteside Genealogists which was based on reading of the stones. Don't know whether there are any other records of burial, although you might try some of the following:

Check with the County Clerk for Death records, they are pretty good in Whiteside.

Check with the Methodist Church in Morrison (815) 772-4030 to see if they know if the Franklin Mehtodist Church still exists, or where the records went if it doesn't.

By the way, I noticed that a Charles G. Webb married a Mathilda I. Phillips on 3 July 1873 service by Rev. Geo. T. Crissman at the Residence of R. M. Thompson. Also Cicero Webb married Joesephenie McKenzie (both of Ustick) on 10 Nov 1869 by Rev. S. F. Millikan. Rev. Millikan was pastor of the Congregational Church in Morrison (the Odell Building, see Morrison Historical Society Web page) and the father of Robert Millikan who won the Nobel Peace Prize in the 1920's. From the dates, these may have been Grandchildren of your George G. Webb.

I have been working for years on trying to find the ancestors of my great-grandfather, Walter Gish BOLLINGER, but have been completely stopped because the 1880 census for Whiteside County, Illinois, which lists him at age 3 years shows him and (I suppose) his 1 year old brother, George, enumerated with the Henry HORN family and the Anna ALDRICH family. No other BOLLINGERs show up in the county at this time. His death certificate indicates that his father was from "Switzerland (French)". I am relatively sure that his mother's maiden name was GISH. I have been stuck there despite my best research. The following is the relevant information I have: 1. Walter Gish BOLLINGER; b. 29 Aug 1876 in Whiteside Co., IL; d. 12 Dec 1943 in Tom Green Co., TX m. Minnie Myrtle PETTEY; b. 1869 in Winchester, TN; d. 1921 in San Angelo, TX *SON* (My grandfather) 2.
