My GG grandfather, Thomas Walters, moved to Pope Co. in late 1860's with wife Mary Ann. He is listed on 1880 census with Daughter, Lucy J. Giffen and her husband Thomas. Lucy moved to Wolfe City, TX in late 1880's and we don't know if Thomas moved with her or stayed in Pope County, IL. He would have been in early 70's in 1885. Looking for death record.

The index of the Pope Co., IL Will Record Volume A 1861-1916 shows on page 71 a will for Elliott Evans. Would very much appreciate a list of his heirs abstracted from the will.

Does anyone know of a cemetery located on a dirt leading from Delwood, Pope Co., IL to Carrier Mills, Saline Co., IL??? This would be the possible resting place of HARVEY MORSE who died between 1886 and 1893 in Pope County. His grave would not have ahead stone, but a group of rocks set upon his grave.


Thanks for stopping by! Y'all come back!
