BOWICK) , Rosa (m. Wm TRAVELSTEAD), Paulina (m. John PARKS, Harriet

CAGLE, 1880-1900. Looking for any information about William
Allen CAGLE (born c1858 in Williamson County) and his wife Eliza Jane
RUSHING (born c1853 in Tennessee). They married in Williamson County
in 1877. They appear in the 1880 Williamson County Census with one
daughter, Nora A., born in 1879. I know that they had at least three
other children: Vincent (born 1884), Ellen (born 1886) and Eva (born
1891). I believe that Eliza Jane died around 1891-93; William evidently
remarried a woman named Elizabeth in 1893 and appears with her in the
1900 Census, but Vincent is living with an uncle, Charley Cagle. How many children
did William and Eliza have, and what were their names? When did
William and Eliza die? Where are they buried? (Family tradition
says they are both buried in a small cemetery near Carterville, but I
haven't been able to locate it.)

KIDD, 1838-c1913. Robert Kidd and his brother, my great grandfather, came
to Williamson County, IL after the War of the Rebellion. My great
grandfather returned to east Tennessee, where he grew up, about 1894
and remained there until his death in 1913. His brother, Robert,
remained in Williamson County, IL. Robert was alive in 1913, since
he provided his signature and a statement for the widow of his recently
deceased brother. Since no record of Robert exists in east Tennessee,
I am sure he returned to Williamson County, where he died sometime
after 1913. Are there cemetery listings or indexes for all cemeteries
in Williamson County, perhaps located in a library?? I would like
to find where he is buried and get the data from the tombstone.
Can someone help or suggest where to write? Thanks.

WARD, late 1800s. I am seeking information about Benjamin
WARD. I am not sure if he was born or died in Williamson County, but
his son, Winston B. Ward, died in Marion on Nov. 25, 1905. Benjamin
Ward was married to Mary MUSGRAVE and Winston was married to Mary
Elizabeth COLE (b. Aug. 29, 1845 d. Dec. 1, 1889). Any information
would be appreciated.

WATSON, Jessee, 1857. I am searching for descendants of
Jessee WATSON b. 1857 TN. He was listed in the 1880 Williamson County,
IL Census with wife Mary C. and 2 daughters. He is the son of James
Watson b. 1818 TN and Sarah Jane McGill b. 1825 TN who lived in Benton
County, TN. I will appreciate any help and I have some information on
James & Sarah Watson family I will share.

WATSON, Mack, 1847. I am seeking information on Mack WATSON
b. 1847 TN who married Manerva J. RUSHING b. 1850 TN who married in
1867 in Benton County, TN. They had a son J. S. b. 1869 listed in the
1870 Benton County, TN Census. In 1880 this family was in the
Williamson County, IL Census. I think Mack was the son of David Watson,
Jr. and wife Mary Presson but he was listed as Charles in 1850 &
1860 Census. Then Mack appears in 1870. I will appreciate any help with
these people.

WILLIAMS, 1830-1996. I am collecting information on all
WILLIAMS families in Williamson County from 1830-1996. Questions
include: What was the last name of the second wife of William Wesley
WILLIAMS? William was son of John Wesley WILLIAMS. William was born
June 1870 Williamson County and died in 1935 at Johnston City. His
second wife's first name was Parrett; what was her last name? What are
her birth and death dates? Also, I need information on Marion M.
WILLIAMS born about 1879 Williamson County of James & Spicey
(WILLIAMS) WILLIAMS. He lived in Johnston City in the 1920 census with
his wife Georgia, mother Spicey and nephew Ernest PARKS. What was
Marion's full date of birth? When and where did he die? Did he have
children? I believe he may have lived in Detroit, Michigan for awhile.
Did he have only one marriage? Contact me if you know anything about
this family or Spicey's family.
