I have a birth certificate for my ggrandfather John Riley Lynch,

this
was the 7th child born to the family, although I have no information on

other 6 (at least) children. Any other Lynch family searchers out there
looking
into this line?? I have information to the present day on John Riley

SCOTT reply to
Dorothy Falk
August 1998
The Nashville, IL Journal had the following article in its July
24, 1864
paper: "John T. Scott, formerly of Nashville, but now living near
Irvington,
on the farm of A. D. Hay, was killed on Friday night last, it is
supposed
by the cars passing over him while on his way home from Centralia. He
leaves
a wife and a large family of children." My first assumption is that the
word
cars means railroad cars. Do you think there is any chance that the
railroad
company would have any additional information on this accident? Do you
know
the name of the railroad that ran from Centralia to Irvington then and
if
they passed the records on to whichever company currently runs the
route?
JOHN T. SCOTT was my great-grandfather and I have hit the genealogy
brick
wall with him. He was 40, born in TN, unskilled, and father of 7
living,
the youngest was just a couple of months old. There is no record of his
death
in Washington County, just this newspaper clipping and a probate box. I
also
could not find anything in the Centralia paper or court house. Could
you
please help me on the name of the railroad line? Dorothy Falk 408 East

CLAUGHLIN, BENNETT, MORTON, PARKINSON, BLAIR reply to
Brian McLaughlin
July 1998
Around the mid 1840s, there was a large migration of families
from the
middle of Tennessee to Marion County, and my families were part of that
movement.
The BENNETTS were deep rooted in Wilson County, TN, while the MORTONS,
PARKINSONS
and BLAIRS came to Illinois after a short spurt in Tenn. and a longer
one
in South Carolina. The MCLAUGHLINS have their roots in County Antrim,
Ireland.
James MCLAUGHLIN, my GGGGgrandfather, was born in 1816, while his wife
Anne
Eliza LYONS, was born in Ireland in 1815. I don't know a whole lot
about
them beyond that. One of their sons, Joseph Knox MCLAUGHLIN (b: 1850)
is
my direct ancestor and married Tirza Elvira MORTON (b: 1851, daughter
of
James MORTON and Mary PARKINSON), and their son James Calvin MCLAUGHLIN
(b:
1875) was my next ancestor in the line. James Calvin MCLAUGHLIN married
Mora
BENNETT in 1899 in Marion County. My families lived about five miles
south
of Salem, in the Romine Township area on a farm. Apparently, the
Interstate
may have cut right through the old McLaughlin property. I know that the
original
James McLaughlin was living with Ann Eliza with their son Thomas Calvin
in
Marion County in 1850, because of the census. Please respond with any
inquiries.
