Leslie,

My research has been on Miles Anderson Colp / Milton Stewart Colp. A year ago, I was sent this information and thought you might find it useful.

Regards,

Rob

Hi Rob, Thanks for the reply. I am looking for John Colp b 1821 or 1822. He married Effie Ann Mc Neill in 1843 and they had 8 children by the 1850 and 1860 census. In 1850 they lived in Twp 8 R 1 E (Blairsville Twp , Williamson Co., IL where John was farming. In 1860 they had moved across the county line into Jackson Co., where John was a carpenter.
I found it interesting that John named his son born in 1849 Milton and Milton Colp named his son also born in 1849 John. Both Milton and John joined Co H, 31st Reg, Illinois Infantry.
My problem is that tis family disappears after the 1860 census. I found John buried in Hazelwood Cemetery , Elco, Alexander Co., IL with a military marker. He died in 1876. But there are no other burials with the Colp name. There is a marriage for Milton S Culp to Harriet Beaver in Union County, IL in 1877 who had a daughter named Effie in the 1880 census. Harriet Beaver Culp married again in 1895. I can't positively identify any of the girls.
My interest is that Effie McNeill was the daughter of Malcom McNeill, my ggg-grandfather. I have been working on tracing Malcolm's children to expand a work done by my great aunt Merta McNeill Sonner.
The article you sent has helped--it does state Milton had a brother named John and their parents. And I appreciate it. If you do come up with some other info, I would like to hear about it.
Thanks for listening to me and good luck with your research.
Martha

Hi Jen,

My maiden name Leslie Ann colp, father Michael A Colp, Grandfather John Dwight Colp and GreatGrandfather was Herbert Walter Colp born April 1888 and death in 1965 in Cali, who has Beaver for mother listed on his death certificate. I found his WWI registration card in Scott Mo in 1917...I am totally stumped. I have spoken to my second cousin John Stewart Colp and he said that he remembers his father Robert Stewart Colp talk about his Indian Great Grandma Beaver and does remember the name Effie? This is all I have....I too am struggling. I did find Herbert Culp in an 1900 Census listed as stepson to Harriet and Columbus Davis, another child Mandy Culp (spelled Culp too) there were other Davis children listed. I looked up the marriage 1.1.95 in Illinois. In this census she said she was married 23 years. maybe we can help each other piece some info. What is your relation?

Thanks!
Leslie

The last reply disappeared into cyber land!! I think Milton Stewart Colp is the son of John H Colp (b abt 1821, served in the Civil War d, 1876 and is buried in Hazelwood Cemetery, Alexander Co., IL) and Effie McNeill d/o Malcolm and Christianna Northington McNeill. I am working on the McNeill family and would love to get info of Effie's family. Any info would be very welcome. Martha

Jeff, Could you send me any information on the Colp family you may have? I am trying to do a family tree and my great-grandparents were Colp from Nova Scotia.
Gail is my mother but we haven't spoken for a while so I can't get the info from her.
Thanks,Chantelle

Jen,

I don't know if you'll get this, being several years later, but I just emailed somebody else who is looking for those same Colps. I sent them the following:

I found this record that you probably already have:
CULP, STEWART (MILTON) married BEAVER, HARRIET on
12/16/1877 in UNION County, Illinois

Let me know if you would like an intro to the other person doing this search.

Best Regards,

Rob

Luvinia was my great grandmother. Aunt Sarah Ann and Gg'ma Luvinia lived in what was like a duplex sort of house in Herrin--after Ggma's last husband (DeBose sp?) and Aunt Sarah Ann's husbands died.

I knew both Ggma and Aunt Sarah Anne. My grandma (Dollie) was Ggma's first child.
