From: "Jefferson, Timothy B SGT MIL USA TRADOC" Date: Tuesday, April 15, 2008 2:58 PM I would like to be added to your list for Lincoln county surnames. My name is Tim Jefferson, and I'm trying to break a family roadblock. The surnames I would like to have added are: Jefferson, and Rundles. My great-great grandfather was William Thomas Jefferson (b 1862, Crab Orchard, KY-d 1931 IL). He lists his parents on his marriage certificate as William Jefferson and Mima Rundles. I do know from family history passed down, he was orphaned as a young boy and came up to Illinois at the age of 18 with just his horse and shotgun (my father has that shotgun now). I have also been told that the records were burned during the civil war, and that's the reason my great-aunts say it's a roadblock and can't go back any further than him. I do know he kept in contact with a sister until his death, those letters were burned in a house fire in the 1940's. Please add my to your list, maybe someone will be able to help us. Thanks, Tim Jefferson
