William Ridings b abt 18 May 1800, NC (son of Joel Ridings & Penelope May) d 13 Jan 1857 Schuyler Co., IL is buried in Palm Cemetery, Schuyler Co., IL beside his wife Sarah E. b abt 21 Sep 1804 d 24 Mar 1857. Birth dates were established from ages on tombstones. Their children were Felicia Bethel, Wm. Harry, John May, Joel G. W., James E., Nelson McNairy, Jane Catherine, William Webster, David Adam Strong, and Margaret Elizabeth.
I descend from their son James E. b 21 Jun 1825, Humphreys Co., TN m 1)Elizabeth F. Bennett b abt 30 Dec 1822 d 15 Mar 1870, buried Clark/Newberry Cemetery, Bainbridge Twp., Schuyler Co., IL with other Bennetts m 2) Mrs. Margaret (James) Paisley 18 Oct 1873, Schuyler Co., IL d 3 Jun 1882. James E. died 7 Nov 1903, buried Palm Cemetery, Schuyler Co., IL. Although both are buried at Palm, they are not buried together.
James & Elizabeth's children are Flora, Nelson M., Eliza, Amanda, Lorrainne P., Charles, Abby, and Arthur.
James & Margaret's children are L. M. (b 1878 d 1879) and a male, name unknown, b 7 Jun 1880.
I am interested in information on both ancestors of William and descendents of the above.
I am particularly interested in the son of James E.& Elizabeth named Nelson M. b2 Dec 1849, Hancock Co., IL m Emily DeCounter 28 Sep 1926, d 28 Sep 1926 Camden, Schuyler Co., IL. Where is he buried? Obit?
and, Felicia Bethel, d/o William & Sarah. There is an IL marriage license to a Phillip Eiler 31 Aug 1859. Have no trace of them after that date. There is a Philip Eyler buried at Palm Cemetery, but with a wife Mary. Any info on this couple?
Have more info than listed here. Am willing to share it all.
