Milton Stewart Colp and large family--Southern Illinois
My great-great grandfather Milton Stewart "Stew" COLP (also seen as Culp, Coulp, etc.) died September 17, 1874, in Franklin County, IL. A prominent farmer who owned land in both Franklin and Williamson County, IL (The innovative Colp family farm is still in the family and is listed as a Centennial Illinois Farm), he was killed by unknown assailants and found dead in his wagon: apparently his horse brought his body home. His will is dated November 1874.
Looking for more information on Milton S. CULP/COLP and his wife, Eliza (Louisa M.) DILLARD in southern Illinois and especially would like to exchange info on their children, all of whom were born in Illinois from 1839 onward. Some of their children stayed in southern Illinois and were big in mining and farming pursuits, others migrated to INDIAN TERRITORY, OKLAHOMA, and into TEXAS after Milton's death. Related surnames include DILLARD, SWEET, RUSH, LOWRY or LOWERY, ELLET (ELLIOT?), PITCOCK or PIDCOCK.
Please get in touch if you are related to any of the following folks. Would love to exchange info!
Children of Milton "Stew" Culp/Colp and Eliza Dillard are:
1) Mary Ann Colp, born 1839, Franklin County, IL., married Thomas Jesse LOWRY in 1861, Franklin County, IL, died 1889,IL, buried Limestone Cemetary near Alto Pass, Union County, IL. (this is my great-grandmother)
