CARPENTER, CASEY posted by Jeanette L. "Carpenter" Covington I am trying to research my father's side of the family. Born in Centrailia, Bobby Dwight Carpenter, Sr. (b. 12/12/29) to Glen Dwight "Andy" Carpenter (b. 10/11/07 - d. 12/83) and Vera Mae Jones Carpenter (b. 05/23/10 - d. 08/82), her parents were Laura Faigle Jones (b. 08/82 - d. 10/51) and Cless E. Jones (b. 06/1883 - d. 09/43) his parents remain a mystery to me at this time. Vera and Glen Carpenter were also born in Centrailia or surrounding area, possibly Walnut Hill. Also born to Vera and Glen were William G. Carpenter and Patricia Mae Carpenter (Hall) both now deceased. It is my understanding that my father's grandmother or great-grandmother on my grandfather's side was Ida Casey. I am not sure if Casey is her married, or maiden name. Other names include Merle, Joe, Eileen, and Gene CARPENTER, Jerri and Bonnie BROEKER, the surname COPPLE, and from grandmother's side FAIGLE (FIGEL?) although I am not clear on where they all fit in the lineage. On my grandfather's side the heritage is Cherokee and German. On grandmother's, German. Please feel free to contact me. Thank you, Jeanette L.

SWINBURNEposted by
TobyTNT@aol.com My great-grandfather
as married in Salem, IL in 1844. I am trying to find a record of this marriage.
He did not mention the name of his bride in the fragment of journal I have.
However, I think her name may have been Mary Ann Carey. She was about 14
when they married. j Edwin was born in England in 1813 and emigrated to this
country sometime around 1833 or so, give or take several years. I believe
his son, Alva Curtis Swinburne, was born in Salem, but have no data on that
either. I would appreciate anything you can find out because the Clayton
Library has nothing on Marion County.
CARTER, STOGDALEposted by
CCa1654526@aol.com
My name is Charles A. Carter and I am the youngest son of Vently Carter born
in 1917 in Marion Co. He was the son of Winnifred Burkett and a gentleman
by the name of Stogdale. Her parents were Alice and Joe Burkett. Her parents
refused to allow her to marry Stogdale and she later married Charles Carter.
I guess what I have always wanted to know was more about the Stogdale family.
I had recently received this information about my father from Wilma Meadors
Hawkins who now lives in Centralia. She was at my father's funeral in May,
1998. My parents are both buried in the Garrison Temple Cemetery. I would
also be interested in any information you could provide me with the Carter
family and their history. Please e-mail me or put me in the right direction!!

FATZER, KHUENLINE
ELIZABETH ("Lizzie") FATZER came to America from Switzerland in the
1850s...married a gentleman with the last name of KHUENLINE...settled
inCentralia, Marion County, Illinois and raised two sons, JOHN KHUENLINE
and HENRY KHUENLINE and one daughter (no record of her name...though it is
said she married a man with the first name of "Ernst").I am betting the KHUENLINE
Elizabeth (the sister of my great-great grandfather) married was a farmer,
owned land and is, therefore, in the publicrecord of Marion County.
Can you tell me anything about him?...first
name,descendants, lineage, etc. Your assistance would be much appreciated!!
