Karen,

 I looked at yr family pages in rootsweb. I just feel I am a generation off from knowing a link in some of these families. I know the names but the generation is before my time and not sure connected to who I know.........

Am wondering if you are related to a Victor Jennings, lived in Lewistown and died about 5-10 yrs back. His wife Eileen. Had a son Victor, would be around 50 now and was from Vic's first wife but don't remember her name.

I'll keep thinking tho. If I'd go to the cem and see some of the stones and who is buried with each family that would help. Liverpool is small.................I know some people. Not someplace new people move into.

Is this Pritchard from Liverpool? Not too sure on cem. there, know one is back thru the woods on the way to the river. Used to go swimming there when a kid and thru there was a shortcut.

I'll let you know........

I do not think Victor is a relative although I don't know.  My great grandfather was James Jennings son of Deborah Wilcoxen Jennings Bybee (wife of Thomas T. Bybee).  James's brother was Elijah Jennings and Elijah had a lot of kids.  I don't know if any of his sons had boy children born.  The era for all of these folks is 1850's - 1900's.  I have so many intricate attachments to so many of the founding Fulton County Folks it's hard to even begin to explain the marriages etc.  I sure do appreciate if you keep your eyes open.  The Prichard's: (read the story on the Cholera epidemic in Liverpool 1849 July.  My Jordan Prichard and his wife Artemisia Shaw Prichard died as well as many otheres.  Their children who survived were taken in by the Maus family and others.   James Jennings is mentioned in that article as helping to bury the dead.  I believe a total of 13 people died within a few days.

Thanks so Much!!!  Karen

I have a copy of Chapmans History of Fulton County,  I have  enjoyed so much of the information from it.  I use this web site for research and think it's so good.  http://www.illinoisancestors.org/fulton/   

I have photos of Thomas T. and Deborah Bybee's graves.  Also a copy of his probate papers that was dozens of pages.  Thomas and Deborah's daughter Mary Ann married Peter John Bauman and lived in Canton after they left the farm.  Peter is also the brother to my Mary Ann (Marjorie?) Bauman Jennings.  They lived at 563 East Chestnut Street Canton Illinois.  I did not have time to go by and see if it is still there when I visited once.  When you are in town sometime I would be so pleased if you checked it out.
