Dear Gary,
Here's the information you requested:

Cemeteries of Brown County
 Logan creek cemetery. pp46-49
Margaret Simmons Parker, mother of Peter P. Parker ( 5 Aug 1872, aged 77 years)

Bell-Keith Cemetery pp.115-119
Margaret Bell, wife of Harry Parker, d. 7 Feb 1887, aged 28 yrs, 11 mos, 19 days

Clark-Campbell Burial Ground pp. 119-120
Margaret Parker, dau of Isaac and Sarah Parker d. 16 July 1864, aged 11 yrs, 10 mos, 10 days

Means Burial Ground, pp 129-130
William , son of W. B. and M. A. Parker d. 1860, age 14 yrs

Means Cemetery pp 135-135 [Contains some of the same burial records as the Means Burial Ground]
William W. son of W. B. and M. A. Parker d. 5 Sep 1860, aged 4 yrs, 5 mos, 15 days

[ This second entry shows a recording error in the Means Burial Ground.]

None of the names found in this list match the person you are looking for. I have included them all so you could see each of the entries. However, the W. B and M. A. Parker appear to be the right people but the burial is for their son William W.

I would guess that Margaret would have been buried in the Means Burial Ground or Cemetery if they were still living near there 10-20 years later.  They were in Missouri Twp in 1870 and the Means Cemetery is in the NW section of Mt Sterling Twp which is right near the Missouri Twp border so you would think that she would be buried there. I checked the 1880 Census for Missouri Twp and they were not there. There is a possibility that they moved from the County before Margaret's death.

Sorry, I can't be more help.
Sincerely,
Ken Huffman

Ken,

I very much appreciate the work you're doing on the Brown County,
Illinois genealogy page.  Using it, I was able to find some ancestors
that I've been seeking for some time.  I finally found the name of
William B. Parker's wife, who died between 1870 and 1880, by using your
1870 census index.  Her name was Margaret, and there are five choices in
the "Brown County Permanent Resident Index" that might fit.  Could you
look these up and see if any of them could be her?  She was born about
1832 in Kentucky.

Summary of information:  Margaret A. Parker, born 1832 Kentucky, died
between 1870 and 1880, wife of William B. Parker

Parker, M. A.________ ________130
Parker, M. A.________ ________135
Parker, Margaret (Bell)________ 118
Parker, Margaret________ 120
Parker, Margret (Simmons)________ 47

Thanks very much for your help in looking her up for me.
