| ? Marriage Records ? |
|---|
|
Had a question from someone asking if there were any marriages recorded in Washington county Illinois for the period 1818-1831? I only know of the marriages from 1831 and later which appeared in the old Washington county Illinois quarterly and are now on this web site. Does anyone out there have an answer for this one? Would a search of the courthouse uncover earlier marriages? |

I am searching for my father's parents. Their names are William ( I think that is correct) and Anna Buchholz. They have lived in this area for a long time. Possibly all their lives. They are buried in Hoyleton in a Lutheran cemetery. I don't know the name of the cemetery. But I know that it is a German cemetery. All of my father's sisters and brother are buried there. Or at least I have been told that. But I don't have any idea the name of the cemetery. I believe it is next to the Lutheran church. I am sure it is an older cemetery. I am needing information of their birth and death records and marriage records also. Do you know if they will have all those that are buried in the cemetery listed online ? And I would like to know the name of the church and cemetery. I have been told that Hoyleton is a township now and Washington is the county. I would appreciate any and all help.

Thomas J Fox moved his family (wife, James, Nancy, William, and Harrison) to Washington Co IL about 1861. Then, he left to fight in the Civil War. It is possible that he moved to this area because he had relatives he could leave his family with. Other children were born in IL in 1863, 1866, 1869. This family is on the 1870 Jefferson Co IL census Two other children were born here.

I was born and grew up on a family farm (Edward H. Peithman) south of Hoyleton in Washington County. In about 1857, Adam Haun , wife Jane and six children moved from TN to Washington County, IL. I would like to determine the site of their first home there. I believe that it might have been the West 1/2 of the of the Northwest 1/4, section 36 of Hoyleton Township. The Bureau of Land Management lists it as W2NW, Sect. 36, Township 01S, Range 01W Meridian 3. The BLM lists Thomas B. Afflack becoming the first owner in 10/08/1838. Adam Haun may have purchased the tract from Afflack in about 1857.
