Looking for information on John TREXLER (b. c1817 in NC), married Elizabeth
BARRINGER/Bassinger? (b. c1815 in NC), in Pulaski County, IL in April 1846. John
served in the Civil War from Union County, IL, and died in Feb 1863 at Memphis,
TN (Fort Pickering) due to sickness.
Trying to find information about
John's parents, and also Elizabeth's information prior to marriage to John. I am
assuming that she was previously married to a BARRINGER/Bassinger, as she had 3
children born prior to marriage to John in 1846 (Aaron b. 1837, Moses b. 1839,
Eve Ann Elizabeth b. 1845). Not sure of Elizabeth's maiden name. Also not sure
what happened to her first husband (BARRINGER/Bassinger). Did he die?
Did
John and Elizabeth know each other in NC prior to moving to IL? Did they both
come to IL at the same time with a group of people? I am aware there were
several groups of Lutherans that moved from NC to IL from 1816-1850. Were they
with one of those groups?
John and Elizabeth had 4 children between 1847
and 1860 (Margaret b. 1847, Anthony b. 1849, Ellen b. 1855, and unknown son b.
1860). One of their children was Anthony Jacob TREXLER (b. 1849 in IL, d. 1912
in IL) who married Mary E. STEPHENS, Minnie HUNSACKER/Hemsaker?, and Angeline
BILLINGSLEY.
Any help with this would be appreciated. Thanks, Rod Trexler,

I'm seeking information on James Madison WATSON. He married Martha C MARSHALL of Mound City, Pulaski County Illinois in 1860-1861. The 1870 census shows her and two children living with her parents in Mound City. The children were born in 1861 and 1865. By the 1880 census she was remarried. A likely assumption would be that he was killed in the civil war. However, online civil war resources listed a number of James Madison WATSONs. Any information or helpful reference would be appreciated. Thank you, Lisa Watson Pinney, 2018 Sep 26, at mrsdagnabit@yahoo.com
