Cemeteries of Brown County, IL 1825-1972

Mt. Sterling City Cemetery, pp. 206, 210, 232, 243-244, 246, 257, 264, 370, 387.

NOTE: There are four children listed in the Mt. Sterling City Cemetery who are children of John Rankin & Mary J. Haddon. Since you have requested two of the daughters and the one son, I will include the fourth child, Louisa, and a possible fifth, Clarissa/Clara.

John Rankin (22 Jan 1828-13 Jul 1935) No spouse mentioned. Son of John Rankin & Mary J. Haddon.

Louisa [Rankin], wife of Rev. Edmund E. Knowles (d. 15 Apr 1858 aged 27y 9m 19d) Daughter of John Rankin & Mary J. Haddon.

    NOTE: Rev. Knowles is not buried in this cemetery.

Jane Rankin, wife of Benjamin Bond (19 Feb 1835-2 Jan 1906) Daughter of John Rankin & Mary J. Haddon.

Benjamin Bond (2 Jul 1827-15 June 1865) Civil War Soldier

Eliza A. Rankin, wife of Francis A. Clark (10 May 1823-15 Feb 1867) Daughter of John Rankin & Mary J. Haddon.

Francis Asbury Clark (11 Sep 1820-30 Jun2 1896) Son of Abner Clark & Nancy Gorham.

John Rankin (d. 30 July 1846 aged 67 yrs)

Mary J. Haddon, wife of John Rankin (d. 5 Apr 1862, aged 67 yrs)

Clarissa M. [Rankin or Parrick?], dau of J. S. and M. Rankin Parrick (1 May 1869-12 Sep 1894) Called Clara on p. 387.

    NOTE: I couldn't locate any other information on this couple, but did locate a marriage for a Clara Rankin to a Theodore Parrick. (see

     below) I am wondering if the cemetery listing is incorrect, and should read Clarissa (or Clara) Rankin, and give a married name as Parrick?

     If this is the case, she may be a daughter of John and Mary J. (Haddon) Rankin. It might also indicate a middle name for John Rankin.

PARRICK, THEODORE md. RANKINS, CLARA 03/03/1889 (Book 0221 Lic# 624, PIKE County, IL (neighbors Brown on the east)
