Lesson learned in Broughton Is about my visit to Broughton as a boy & didn't heed a warning, and paid the price.
Wills and Probate Sales A good place to find people who may not have been around at the census count. Some things never change, as people love a sale! Check out who bought what? One of your ancestors might have been there.

MINUTES OF THE MUDDY RIVER BAPTIST ASSOCIATION ILLINOIS 1820 - 1840 We are pleased to post the following record of the Minutes of the Muddy River Baptist Association. Our thanks to Ron & Doris Nelson for permission to use the printed copy for transcription. Its a treasure to come accross records this old that have survived. Its also great to see one's own ancestor involved in the church as a messenger. We hope you enjoy these records of the minutes and hope you find someone you know listed in them. Some of those involved traveled to other churches in southern Illinois to visit & report and keep the churches in the doctrine of the association.
