She had two sons, John William MCKEEVER b. 1847 and Daniel MCKEEVER b. 1851 when she married Edward HAZEL and we are wondering if those two boys were born out of wedlock (it probably isn't likely that TWO were born this way)but we cannot seem to find a connection to her maiden name and are wondering if it is indeed MCKEEVER or what? Her marriage certificate states that she was MISS Sarah MCKEEVER. Also if anyone has information on Daniel MCKEEVER b. 1851 please let me know. Thank you kindly, Sharon

Surnames: WARD HILL HAZEL ENSMINGER RAWLINGS ROLLINS
Submitter: Debbie McArdle (jjmcard@mc.net)
Date: 17 Jun 2001

Working on John Ward, born abt 1810, married Sarah HAZEL, daughter of Daniel HAZEL. This Sarah HAZEL first married James N. HILL in Pope County 31 March 1830, her father, Daniel HAZEL (brother to King HAZEL?) giving consent. They are of Eddyville area. James N. HILL died, after fathering 2 children with Sarah: James D. HILL and Joel D. (DECKER/DEAKER?) HILL. John and Sarah WARD are found in the 1850 Census of Pulaski County, Illinois with these 2 HILL children. Later documents show the HILL boys and my John WARD as 1/2 brothers. Found an 1838 document in Pope Co. where my John Ward was accused of loosing someone's (Rawlings/Rollins)canoe. In his defense, James Ward and Squire Ward were called to testify. I am guessing James is John's father or uncle, because of his age according to the census. I am guessing Squire WARD is a brother as he is younger and appears on the Pope County census. There is some connection between my John WARD and his sister Ann/Anna WARD to Pleasant WARD who was named Ann's guardian in Pope County in 1828 when she was 14. There was a second Pleasant WARD, named Pleasant Lewis WARD, who married Mariah ENSMINGER in 1838, Gallatin County,Illinois. Is anyone else working on this line? Have lots to share. Debbie McArdle

Looking for information on Harvey and Lucretia (Yarborough) Taylor. Moved to Pope County, IL from Stewart County, TN in mid 1840's. He died in Pope County in 1862 and she married Allen R. Jones in 1870. Haven't been able to find burial location. Would also like to find their parents names. In the 1960 Census of Pope Co, Il, there was a Frances J. Reams, age 10, living with the Taylors. Could she be related. Maybe that would be a clue as to whether Harvey and Lucretia had other family members living in the area too. Harvey and Lucretia's other children were Martha who married Nathaniel Randolph, William md Charity ?, Rosa J. md Charles Fulkerson, Harvey S. md Carrie Hodge, Samantha, Amanda md Bolden and my great great grandmother Mary Ann who married Dr. Richard Fulkerson.

I am trying to find links to our part of the Braudrick family. My father, Joseph Russell Braudrick was born in 1912 in St. Louis. I believe my grandfather (Joseph Russell Braudrick Sr.) had four siblings. They spent the early part of their lives in Golconda, Il. My great grandfather's name was John Braudrick. He was married to Belle Robertson (or possibly Robinson).I know that prior to living in Southern Il. the family lived in Hopkinsville, Ky. I found a Hute Braudrick and a John S. Braudrick buried in Bethany Cemetery in Pope County. I think John may be my great grandfather, but I can find no other information. I would really appreciate any information on the Braudrick family in Golconda. Thank you.

Hillary, Lizzie and two other Carter children, Clarence D. and Blanch were found on the 1910 census living in Sikeston, MO. However Bertha was not found on this census, so I am assuming that she died or there is another possibility that she was given to another family to raise and may have been adopted by that family.I would appreciate any data on Bertha Ann.
