Waterford and Freeman Cemetery records

Bill Summers · Homesteader

Deb,

I recently visited the Fulton County area finding a "Cemetery Inscriptions of Fulton County, Illinois, Volume 2, Kerton, Isabel, Waterford Townships" by the Cemetery Records Committee of the Fulton County Historical - Genealogical Society.

Does anyone know where I can access the Freeman cemetery inscriptions?

Or if such a book exists?

Hi Jim,

I have looked at those books, but they don't have the records of the dates I'm looking for.

Thank-you

Deb

They have the Freeman Cemetery inscriptions books here in Canton, Il. at the Library.

If you are unable to access the library, let me know and I'll do a look up for you.

Thanks Deb, I live in Washington State and I have tried to connect online to the historical society but with no luck. Anyway, the surname I am looking for is Freeman just about any Freeman but if there are a lot of them these are the most wanted: John, Anna or Hanna, Sarah, and their children: James, Samuel, William, Mark, John Jr, Anderson, Rebecca,Ruth, Lemons or Lyman, Minus or MInas and Ransom.

Thanks again,

I have done some looking on the Census's and it looks like the names you are looking for are in Clay County, Illinois. You might try their board. Deb

Go to: "FindAGrave.com" and do the cemetery search for (Waterford/Sepo) (Illinois) cemetery.

I have submitted over 430 of the oldest internments in that cemetery.

It also lists the Freeman cemetery in Fulton County but no one has submitted any names as of this date.
