Montgomery

I am researching my Montgomery family of Menard Co., IL. My grandfather Harry Dickey Montgomery was born in Menard Co. in 1858. His father James Walker Montgomery was born in Adair Co., Ky in 1821-24. His mother Martha Jane Dickey was born in Ohio in 1827. I have information on her family, but not on James Walker Montgomery family. I know that they were married in Putnam Co., Il in 1849. They later moved to Menard Co. I would appreciate any suggestions or information you might have on this family. Thank you for your time. Mary Montgomery Douglass pollyd763@aol.com

Sanders / Shessell

Looking for decendents / info of Henry Harvey Sanders (b 1885) and Mary Millard Shessell (b 1892). I know they had two boys: Hershel R (b 1912) and Jackaria Mirell (b. 1924). I believe Hershel died in 1984 in Adair Co.

Stone

I have traced my family back to Adair, Kentucky. John Stone (b. 1804) married Mary (b. 1805) and I found them in the 1860, 1850 and 1840 Census but unable to find a Stone in 1830 in Adair. Not sure where they originated or when and where they passed away. One of his son's, Stephen R Stone was found in Adair up until 1900 when he moved to IL. My thoughts are perhaps the parents passed and he moved away. Any information about the Stone's while they spent the many years in Adair would be much appreciated! Thanks, Amy Ching aching@sbcglobal.net

Stotts

I am looking for information on George Washington Stotts b. 25 July 1847 in Adair County, Kentucky, married 14 Sep 1876 in Lucas Co. Iowa to Margaret Ellen McClain, and who died 6 July 1936 in Ottumwa,Wapello, Iowa. On his death certificate it states his father was M. Stotts and his mother was "Polly" Ann Smith b. in Virginia but have no idea if that is accurate. Am trying to determine the parentage of he and his brothers: Green Stotts, (b. abt 1851, mar. Emeline Hunt in 1871 in Marion Co. Iowa), John R. Stotts, (b. abt 1854 in Adair Co. KY, mar. Mary Newell in 1876 in, Marion Co. Iowa, d. 14 Mar 1929 in Glenwood, Mills Co. Iowa). I cannot find George, Green or John in the 1850 Adair Co. KY census. They are in the 1860 census with Mary Stotts and John Stotts who is listed as an idiot. It is not clear whether Mary Stotts is a sister, wife or caretaker to John Stotts (idiot). This Mary Stotts shows up in the 1870 Census in Marion Co. Iowa as residing with John Fletcher and family and in the 1880 Census in Marion Co. Iowa as married to John Fletcher with John (idiot) living with them which seems to me indicates that she and John were not married but perhaps brother and sister. If this is the case who are the parents of Washington, Green and John R. Stotts? See Census Information Any help would be appreciated in trying to sort this out. Joan Pulis, joanpulis@lissalou.comAm
