Hello! I hope everyone's research is going well. I am looking for a few families
that originated from Vincennes, Indiana and migrated to East St. Louis, St. Clair County,
Illinois.
James W. HAMMOND, born Nov 1862 married, in 1882, Mary Ella (last name unknown) who was
born Jan 1862. They had quite a few children:
Lillie Elizabeth HAMMOND (b. Oct 1885) married Jesse CHANEY (b. 1881)
***I have a picture of Lillie and Jesse with their first child, Grace CHANEY (b. 1904).
The entire family was born in Indiana
John W. (b. July 1884)
Julian I. (Jan 1892)
Helen
Kate
Charles I. (b. May 1900)
George E. (b. Jan 1890)
Clara Ella (?) (b. May 1891)
McKinley H. (b. Nov 1895)
Sara (b. July 1899)
Ida C. (b. Mar 1888)
Most of this information came from the 1900 census of James W. HAMMOND in Decker Twp, Knox
County, Indiana. Other information came from the obituaries of Lillie and Jesse CHANEY.
I also have other pictures with no names on them, that I believe came from this family.
There is a picture of a young couple (looking pretty well to do for the time) holding a
baby and the picture came from a studio in Mt. Carmel, Illinois. There are also several
pictures from after a tornado struck a town. If this family of any of the pictures
sound familiar, please contact me (-:
Happy hunting,
