Dear
Kathleen,
Here’s
the information as it appears in the Cemeteries of Brown County,
Illinois:
Mt
Sterling City Cemetery, p 223
Elizabeth
Wison, wife of Stout Kendrick (1840-1926) [The surname was misspelled in the
entry but spelled Wilson in the relationships’
section.p.257]
Eliza J.
Lusk, wife of James M. Kendrick (1830-1900)
P
240
Elizabeth,
wife of G. E. Wilson, d. 17 Feb 1864, age 33
yrs.
No other
information is available on these persons. Hopefully something will match for
you that will possibly connect. Neither Elizabeth appears to be the one you are
looking for. However, Eliza may be the one. She has two children buried there
too, Benny and Mattie.
Sincerely,
Ken
Huffman

Hi Ken
& Laurie,
re: Elizabeth
Wilson page 223 & 240.
I'm not
sure if you will be able to help me or not but I am trying to see if one of the
Eliza/Elizabeth Wilson's listed on the Brown County Index is the sister of my
ggg grandfather.
To be
brief, my known Brown/Schuyler County ancestors were the Lusk,
Brooks, Atkinson, Bagby and Kendrick
families.
My ggg
grandparents were Levi Lusk and Sarah Brooks. Levi's sister was Eliza
Lusk/Burrows/Wilson. Levi & Sarah's children married into the
Atkinson, Bagby and Kendrick families.
The only
information I have on Eliza is that she was living in Rushville in
1860 with her brother. At that time she was 52 years old and
listed as Eliza Burrows. By 1870 she was with Levi in Mt. Sterling,
but by then she was listed as Eliza Wilson, age 62. On the
1880 census, Eliza Wilson, 72, was then living with my gg grandfather,
James Lusk and his family in Rushville.
I believe
Eliza would have wanted to be buried near her brother and his family in
Brown County. Can you possibly help me out?
Thank
you,
Kathleen
Myers, Vancouver, WA.
