HUNTER / MEEK / DOOLIN / ELLSWORTH
I have been looking for a very long time for information on my gr gr
Grandmother, and I hope you can help me. Louisa Ellenor HUNTER was born
on 02 October 1843 in Trenton Ohio. Her family traveled from Butler County,
Ohio, too, Vandalia, Illinois in Fayette County, where she was married
to a Civil War veteran, a man named Richard MEEK. Shortly after the marriage
the family moved near Effingham, Illinois and Louisa HUNTER MEEK gave birth
to her first son, my great-grandfather James HUNTER in 1863. It was soon
after the birth of Louisa’s second son Samuel Barton MEEK, also born in
Effingham, that the family moved to Butler and Carter County Missouri,
and this is where Richard MEEK died.
Louisa HUNTER MEEK, then married Richard's brother Samuel MEEK and the family moved to Beaver County Oklahoma where they settled and bought land. Shortly thereafter, Louisa HUNTER MEEK developed breast cancer and died in Beaver County, Oklahoma, on 27 April 1892. It is possible that she is buried at Clear Lake Cemetery near or in Beaver County,Oklahoma. Louisa HUNTER MEEK’s second husband, Samuel, settled around Madison,Oklahoma. Louisa HUNTER MEEK’s second son, Samuel Barton MEEK was a deputy Sheriff in Beaver County, Oklahoma. In Beaver County, Samuel Barton Meek donated land for a schoolhouse to be built. After Louisa HUNTER MEEK’s death, Samuel M. Meek married Edith ELLSWORTH, widow of famous outlaw, Bill DOOLIN.
It is apparent that Louisa HUNTER MEEK had family in both Fayette and
Effingham counties in Illinois , because she spent a great deal of time
in both counties. If so these families are lost to this line of the HUNTER
and MEEK families. This is all the information that I have, would you know
of anything else? Can you help me? Thank You Very Much for Your Time!

PETTY
Seeking information on Anderson W. Petty who was reported to be in
Fayette County prior to 1827. He was married to a Frances Bankston. He
had at least one child, William. I have seen an 1805 birthdate on William.
Black Hawk war muster records indicate an Anderson Petty and a William
Petty were mustered in on 5/23/1832. Anderson Petty was discharged on 7/26/1832.
I have traced my ggg-grandfather William A. Petty back only as far as his
marriage to Nancy Taulbee in Fayette County in October, 1827. The census
records indicated he was born in 1804 and that he was from Georgia. I'm
hopeful that the William Petty listed with Anderson Petty is actually my
ancestor.

that her parents were John Donaldson and _____ Stone.
There is a possibility for Delilah's father but no real proof. There was a John Andrews Donaldson of about the correct age who was a son of Thomas Donaldson and Susannah___________. Thomas was born ~1773 and died 1/1/1838 in Fayette County. He had 2 other sons; Thomas W. (b. 3/10/1816) and Samuel. Thomas was a brother of Moses Martin Donaldson and Barnett Donaldson.

I am searching for the Information about Mack Spencer(or Spencer Mack)
Blankenship. He was born March 4, 1860 in Ramsey, Fayette County, Illinois.
He married Elisabeth Davidson October, 1883. Would like to have information
