Note from moderator: The Atkinson Cemetery is located within the boundaries of Argyle Lake State Park. In my opinion, it could be in better shape, but I have seen worse. I'm hopeful we can make some efforts to improve the condition, as it is an important historic landmark in the County. If you are interested in assisting, please contact me at ilmcdono@macomb.com

Subject: JR and/or Ollie Gamble
Text of Query: This query is related to the previous query regarding the history of Samuel C. Panake in Blandinsville.
Samuel bought a bank with a McVey. His daughter Ophelia married WF McVey so we assume it was either him or a family member. A Martha McVey married a JR Gamble. When Samuel C. Pancake's daughter Edith Glendora was married to Henry Reynolds Watrous, an Ollie Gamble was a witness and signed the marriage certificate.
We continue to follow all of these leads to find descendents of the Pancake family.
Does anyone know who Ollie Gamble was?
Thanks again.

Subject: Family of Samuel Pancake in Blandinsville Late 1800s
Text of Query: Wish to know more about my children's great great great grandfather Samuel C Pancake who migrated from Coshocton County Ohio to Blandinsville sometime in the late 1800s. His wife was Catharine Darling who probably died while in Blandinsville. At least two of his daughters were married in his home in Blandinsville. They were Demie to Theodore Whiteley and Glendora to Henry Reynolds Watrous.
At some point, he appears to have bought a bank from TR Hardin, which was then owned by Pancake and McVey. Samuel's oldest daughter Ophelia married a WF McVey.
At some point, Samuel Pancake and many members of his family migrated to Utah, where he and several of his children and their spouses are now buried together. Just found this plot and knew of these details this past year.
Does anyone know when Samuel came to Blandinsville, when his wife Catharine Darling died? Where he lived and anything about the bank? Also, while there it appears a married son Stewart Pancake was there also. In the History of Blandinsville, Stewart's wife Jennie Pancake is listed as a teacher at the school. Samuel and his son Stewart are listed as belonging to several of the male organizations of the time such as the Mystic Brotherhood in 1880 and the Grand Army of the Republic. Stewart was a Civil War veteran.
We do not have any photographs of any member of this family even though some lived into the 1950s. Perhaps Samuel and his wife had a portrait taken in Blandinsville? Is there a photography archive? We are also at a dead end when it comes to finding additional descendents of this family in the hope of finding data or photographs.
Thanks to anyone who can help us put this history together.

Subject: Charles Ingraham/Ingram/Ingrum
Text of Query: I am searching for any information on Charles P. Ingraham and his family according to the McDonough 1870 Census Charles and his Cornelia were living there at the time. I'm trying to support the fact that my Great Grandfather was born in Dec.1866 in Il. He told the family that he was born in Il. and lived there till he was at least 6yrs. old. I know that he had one sister Maggie who would have been abt. 7yrs. old at the time, and one brother Charles E.(Edward?) that would have been 5, my Great Grandfather Clarence you have been 4 at the time. I don't know how long the family lived in McDonough County, but that they were there in 1870 when the Census was taken. I believe that maybe some of the family may be burned there because when searching the McDonough records it showed that surname to be connected to one of the rural cemeteries. I don't know if Charles Jr. parents Charles P. Sr. and his mother Elizabeth Ingraham moved from Kane County, with their son when he moved to McDonough County. There no records in Dade County, Mo where Charles Jr. and Cornelia Bain Ingraham are buried showing any other members joining them in the move from McDonaugh, Co. Il. other than their sons Charles E., Clarence and their daughter Margaret. I know from the Missouri Census that Cornelia had 9 children but have only the names for these 3 children. Any information would be most welcome, thank you Taleah Wilkinson

Subject: Richard Tilton
Text of Query: Richard Tilton
Surnames: Tilton, Lum, Parker, Hughes, King, Moore, Ashcraft
Much is known about Richard Tilton as shown in the following. However it is not known who his first wife was, who his parents were, or when and where he died. If you have any additional information about Richard Tilton, or his first wife, please contact me.
Richard Tilton was a Justice, Trustee, Land Owner and Minister. He was an early prominent personality in the history of Flemingsburg, KY, and Fleming County, KY. He was an original Trustee of the Town of Flemingsburg and the first presiding Justice of the Peace of Fleming County (later called county judge) and a Methodist minister who performed many marriages.
Perrin's 1888 History of Kentucky quotes Nimrod Tilton, Judge of Robertson County, Kentucky, as saying his grandfather, Richard Tilton, was a native of Maryland and settled in Mill Creek Valley, near May's Lick, before Kentucky was made a state. He was, he says, a local preacher, a prohibitionist, and a non-slave holder.
In 1792 and through 1805, he paid taxes in Mason County. He paid taxes in Fleming County from 1798 to 1804. In 1797 he was named a trustee of the town of Flemingsburgh.
In 1798 he produced credentials of his Ordination and Communion with the Methodist Episcopal Church.
(The following account is from an October 1950 Flemingsburg, KY, newspaper)
"Tilton of this county was named for a descendant of Richard Tilton. He removed to Illinois in 1819 and died in Washington County, Illinois, in 1824. He was survived by six sons; Enoch, Thomas, John Wesley, Richard Jr., Robert Dorsey, and Jesse Lum; and by four daughters; Elizabeth, Lydia, Sarah and Oleitha."
(The following excerpt is from a biography of Richard T. Hughes which appears in "Portrait and Biographical Album of Whiteside Co., Illinois; Chapman Bros. - 1885)
"His (Richard Tilton's) family included 12 or 13 children; and, after they had attained to the growth if not the years of maturity, they removed to Okaw, the southeastern township of Bond County, on the Kaskaskia River, in Illinois. They were pioneers, and received the full benefit of the poisonous emanations from the low marshes in their vicinity, which resulted in the most terrible mortality. One by one the stalwart sons and fair daughters succumbed, and the parents followed in their turn. Five individuals lay dead in the house at one time. Several recovered, and as soon as was possible, they went back to the old home in Kentucky, leaving a monstrous estate, including thousands of acres, under the control of a lawyer named Robert Turner, through whose chicanery the entire property was wasted, and availed nothing to its rightful owners, the heirs of Richard Tilton. One of the daughters, Oletha, married Samuel Parker, a Methodist divine of distinction, the record of whose labors and abilities are preserved with just pride in the annals of the Church, and who died at New Orleans to which place he had been sent by the Conference"
What was Okaw Township in Bond County, IL, is now Tamalco Township and included part of the adjoining Fayette Co., IL. No land records have been found there for the Tilton "monstrous estate" mentioned above.
Richard Tilton is listed in the 1820 Washington Co., IL federal census. This is the last known public record on Richard Tilton, therefore some researchers have given that place and date as his death facts. There is also the above quoted Flemingsburg, KY, newspaper that states he died in Washington Co., IL in 1824. The basis for the 1824 date is not known.
Richard Tilton had at least five children by his first wife; Elizabeth, Lydia, Thomas O., Enoch, and Sarah. There may have been more if the above historical account is correct, and he in fact had 12 or 13 children.
In April 05, 1790 he married Nancy Lum in Philadelphia. They also had at least five children; Ollietha, John Wesley, Richard C. Jr., Robert Dorsey and Jesse Lum.
Elizabeth, born March 27, 1783, married Allen B. Hughes, a Kentucky-Ohio financier, on December 20, 1800,. They moved to Morgan Co., IL in 1834. Their sons, John A. Hughes and Richard Tilton Hughes were prominent settlers in Morgan and Whiteside Counties, respectively.
Lydia, born March 16, 1786, married James King on October 27, 1809, and their biography is included in The Historical Encyclopedia of Illinois and History of McDonough County, compiled by Dr. Newton Bateman, and Paul Shelby, 1907. It is posted on the McDonough Co., IL GenWeb site.
Nothing is known about Thomas O. Tilton, Enoch Tilton (died in Kentucky on March 17, 1846), and Sarah Tilton (died in Kentucky on July 30, 1863).
Ollietha, (Olethia. Oletha) married Samuel Parker on June 18, 1816 in Mason Co., KY, a Methodist minister. No further information has been found on Samuel.
John Wesley, born February 16, 1795, married Elizabeth Moore on December 30, 1818 in Cynthiana, Harrison Co, KY. He died in Platte Co, MO, on March 17, 1846.
Richard C. Jr. was born August 30, 1799. Nothing more is known about him.
Robert Dorsey was born May 17, 1801, became a doctor and died, on June 23, 1833, fighting a cholera epidemic in Elizaville, KY. He is buried in an unmarked cholera cemetery that can still be located by local residents.
Jesse Lum was born January 29, 1804 and married Rachel Ashcraft. From Nimrod Tilton's (Jesse' son) biography: "Jesse L. Tilton was born in 1806, was a farmer and tanner, and died in 1883"

My great grandfather was originally from St Ive Cornwall but had moved to North Yorkshire as a young man. My g grandfather either owned or had a share in a drift mine in the Colchester area. My great grandmother gave birth to two children whilst living in Colchester - Samuel and Florence. They already had a son Ernest when they arrived in the USA. Due to ill health and on the advice of her doctor my great grandmother was advised to leave Colchester and return home to England. The family are said to have sold up and returned around 1897. It is believed that my great grandfather had either a brother or uncle already living in Illinois before his arrival who owned a mill (possibly flour) and that he had at least two children one boy, one girl. Family legend states that the boy accidently shot the girl causing her to loose a leg.
