DENNISON, Dora RICHARDSON. Supposedly died in Taylorville. Also, Dennison CLARENCE or ST_CLAIRE or ST_CLARE. They were the parents of Mona May DENNISON who was taken from the family by DCFS when both parents were very ill. Mr Dennison may have been an alcoholic. He died before Dora did apparently. Not all of the children were taken. Mona May's twin brother Orville was taken and adopted, along with 2 other children. Mona May was placed in the Soldiers and Sailors home in Bloomington. Anything sound familiar, please help me put the pieces together by emailing me! Sincerely, Ms Troyer

CURRIE, CURTIS, ELLIOTT, GLASS, IVES, JERNIGAN, LEWIS, PHILLIPS, ROACH, SHAW posted by Michelle Bley on Saturday, April 2, 2005

Looking for information on William CURRIE and family. He was b. 08 Jan 1775 possibly Augusta Co., VA, d. 19 Jan 1841, Christian Co., IL. He married Mrs. Tamar IVES JERNIGAN aft. 1816 in Stewart Co., TN. In 1830 Carroll Co., TN a John CURRIE is listed in the census. He died in 1835. He raised a Sally CURRIE b. TN who married Lewis H. JERNIGAN (son of Tamar and Jesse JERNIGAN) . They migrated to Christian Co., IL. His will proven Feb. 1835 lists Sally JERNIGAN (formerly CURRIE), Robert ROACH, Lewis H. JERNIGAN and witnessed by William CURRIE, Alfred CURRIE. A Nancy CURRIE married Hiram GLASS who died in 1842. Nancy remarried in 1843 Christian Co., IL to James PHILLIPS. Is John a brother to William and Nancy a daughter of William? Thomas SHAW is listed in the 1830 & 1840 Trigg Co., KY census. He had two daughters under 5 in the 1830 Trigg Co., KY census. I believe he was married and had the two daughters before marrying a second time to Rebecca Jane ELLIOTT in 1835. Who was his first wife? I am guessing it was a CURRIE and the daughters were Sarah Ann CURTIS and someone marrying a Lewis. In the Stewart Co., TN wills for Thomas SHAW lists grandson William C. LEWIS and daughter Sarah Ann CURTIS. Both were mentioned in the estate of William CURRIE. Could this be another daughter of William CURRIE? Any help on the above is appreciated.
