I saw that Virginia Cheek donated the information for the Barrow family records from the family Bible.  Is there any way I can contact Virginia Cheek to get a copy of the actual bible pages?  I am a descendent of Daniel Barrow and would like to join the DAR.  They will accept copies of the actual Bible pages.  Submitted by: Marcia Dean

Is anyone researching the Dixon line?  I am trying to locate information on  James Harrison Dixon who last appeared on the Jackson County 1860 census.  We are currently trying to locate information on James Harrison Dixon's father and mother.  In the 1840 census it shows Elizabeth being married to a Merril Padgett in Stewart County Tennessee.  James appears to be 2 years old on this census.  We do know that James Harrison Dixon married a Mary Self in Stewart County, Tennessee 3/30/ 1854, and later married Martha Needham from Missouri 9/16/1861.  James Harrison Dixon owned a farm in what is now Sand Ridge Township, Jackson County, Illinois, and is buried in Worthen Cemetery in 1913.

What we are looking for now is James Harrison Dixon's father's name, and what his mother Elizabeth's maiden name was. Thanks, Howard Cook

In the other Jackson Trails, there was a Makanda School picture.  The students were grades 1-8.  There were pictures of the students.  There was a large family who had a house fire. And people donated household items.  I think the family name was Burk.  There were pictures of Donald Hawk, Margaret Scroggins, Mary Scroggins and their brother Jimmy.  I think Jack Heern was a student and there were some Throgmartin children.  Rodney, Beverly and Vivian Heern also attend the school.  There was a family of Clubs, Childers, Aldridge brothers also attended.  And then there was Jim Lingle who rode his horse every day to school.  It would stay in a building across from the school yard, until school was finished for the day.  Later on Jim's twins sisters came to school, they were Joyce &.June
 
The teacher might have been Stella Heern, there was also another teacher Lipe I think was her name.The man teachers name was Rushing.  He left at the end of the year and Miss Heern replaced him.  Possibly 1946-47 school year.
Donald Hawk had a brother Gary and a sister Karen. 
 
Thank you for your time,
Judy Hawk-Krach
