I am researching the following surnames: primarily Simpson, and associated names of Hunsaker, Veach, Whiteside, Murrie and Kuykendall, all of whom lived in either Adams or Johnson county, IL from the early 1800's onward. My best known ancestor is William Simpson who came from Kentucky in about 1805 when IL still was a territory and is credited with being the first white settler family in southern Johnson co. around present day Vienna. I believe Simpson township & Simpson Hill were named for this family and they were among the founders of the Gilead Cumberland Presbyterian Church in that area. William and other family members are buried in the Double Bridges cemetery. Simpsons intermarried with all the families previously mentioned. Are there other Simpson researchers in this group? G.

I just want everyone to know that the ladies in the Montgomery County Court House (County Clerk's office) are the best! I spent the day there yesterday, going through records in their vault, making copies, looking for things, and one of the ladies (Debby) even gave me a lead to a LIVING relative that I didn't even know existed. I was able to travel to Irving, Illinois to a cemetery to see where 2 of my great aunts and uncles are. What a great experience! Thank you to the Montgomery County, Illinois, County Courthouse ladies!

It's very difficult to follow a conversation on the wall. May I suggest you start a discussion by county or by surname so others can find it and perhaps provide more help?

My Quinns and McKnights settled in Cumberland Co.,Illinois. Both families were Scotch-Irish. The McKnights emigrated from Chester Co.,Pennsylvania,and the Quinns from Pennsylvania via Ohio.

Looking for my GGF's sister Johanna Sofia Persdotter (perhaps Anna Peterson in America) who immigrated from Sweden in 1875 and lived, for a time at least, in the Rock Island, IL vicinity.

Looking for the Cox family, Sangamon County, ILL in the mid 1820's. William Cox married Jane Hohimer in 1829 then in 1831 they moved to Southern MO. William had a younger brother who also married a Hohimer girl (Susan) and followed his brother to MO. I am trying to find the parents of William and Henry, I am not sure how long they were in ILL.
