I am from Jacob Storm Stucker, son of Willis.Willis Stucker's will list Rebecca Green, Indiana "Sidney"( m. John Hutchinson), Polly and Elizabeth Jane, as the girls (one married Isham Williams and one married Thomas Anderson), and Andrew Jackson(1816), Jacob Storm(1828), and John Henry(1830) as the sons. Theirmarriages are listed in Pope, Gallatin, and Saline. Willis came to IL by April 1817 with the Storm Family. The Storm's got into some trouble in IN. A couple of years later Storm returned but half his kids were married by then and stayed in Pope Co. Willis' farm was on the Ohio river just north of Golconda as it bends to the East. Later he moved more west to where Stonefort was located. It became Saline Co. and he served as J of P, Post Office, Sheriff in both counties. He died in May 1865 penniless so will probated by debtors. He had a David Stucker living next to him in 1818 and 1820 but he was with Willis JR up in central IL by 1830's. I never heard of the Elias. We have located a Martin Stucker who died in 1860 Pope Co but can't connect him yet who would have been of that time period.The youngest John H b. 1830/31 was a doctor of sorts and has descendants down in Alexander Co.I have been to Stonefort for Sidney Stucker's descendants who didn't know they were really "Green". We are trying to find out who Henry Green's parents were and what happened to him as by 1850 Rebecca and Sidney, Jackson, and Green (the boys) were living with Willis. By 1860 the census recorded them as Stuckers and they were still with Willis at that time. All three were in the Civil War with Sydney being in the IL 120th with Jacob S. and his son Lawrence. Sidney's name is on the IL monument at Vickburg. He went back to Stonefort and married two or three times and had lots of kids. Green died in Carbondale in the 1870 or 80's and his two dau. moved to Charleston, MO and married.Jackson died at Jackson, TN a teen of food poisoning. Green was only 14 when joined as a drummer. A Zachariah joined as a musician from New Liberty, Pope Co but can't place him. Either the Williams or Andersons went to AR and didn't respond to the estate suit. Margaret Storm died in 1854 and is buried at Stonefort Little Saline Cem. So is Andrew Jackson's first wife and Jacob Storm Stucker.I don't know if the others are among the 15 sandstones on either side of them or not.
