YEAR 2000 QUERIES, JACKSON CO. IL.
1. PILES I'm
looking for any information on the Nicholas PILES family that appears in the Jackson Co.,
IL, 1820 census. I believe that one of his descendants, John J. PILES, traveled to Texas,
settling in Van
Zandt County, with a descendant of Ezekiel TUMLINSON, probably David TUMLINSON. They were
both deeded 640 acres of land, in the 1845. The PILES deed was witnessed by Claiborne
& Edmund
ARRINGTON (HARRINGTON); a name also listed in the 1820 Jackson Co., IL census. Any info on
any of this band of travelers would be greatly appreciated.

2. GOODMAN I
am searching for information on a Charles Goodman, son of Amos and Anna Goodman, of Ava.
Charles was a photographer who left Jackson County ca. 1871 at the age of 28 years, and
after a few years in Wisconsin spent his remaining years in Colorado and Utah. His
siblings were Enos, Alzina and William. They were all born in New York. The first known
trace of their family in Ava was 1861. Any information on their family or any of his
papers, diaries, or photographs would be appreciated.
