Hi Jac66,

We may be cousins.  I am descended from your James Stanners/Stanhouse's brother Walter. 
He came to United States with he was about five with his parents, Malcolm (1817- about 1866) and Christiana (Stanners) Stanhouse (1817- about 1886).  Walter married Rebecca Yancey (1857-1934) in 1876 in Perry County, Illinois. My grandmother was their daughter Rachel Stanhouse (1894-1969).  My dad grew up in Du Quoin, Illinois.

Malcolm's (1817-) parents were Malcolm Stanners (1781-) and Elisabeth Adamson (1781-).
Christiana's parents were James Stanners (1791-1860) and Catherine Kennedy (1786-1863).

I think, based on a copy of a letter of recollections written about 40 years ago, that the Malcolm Stanhouse who died in Atlanta, Georgia in 1864 was Christiana's brother, not her husband. 

My ancestry name is ellen5251 on Neal Family Tree.

Hi,
I just registered at Rootschat, so first post.  I hope I am doing this correctly.
My grandmother Rachel Stanhouse was the daughter of Walter "Waddie" Stanhouse married to Rebecca Yancey.  The Stanhouse families lived in DuQuoin, Perry County, Illinois, USA area.
Birth 7 JUL 1856 • Carriden, Linlithgow, Scotland
Death 12 JUL 1909 • Paradise Coal Mine, Du Quoin, Perry, Illinois, USA
His parents were Malcolm Stanhouse/Stanners (b. 1817-) and Christiana Stanners (b.1817-), daughter of James Stanners and Catherine Kennedy.
Malcolm's parents were Malcolm Stanners (1781-) and Elizabeth Adamson (1781-1864).

I would like to know if anyone can help me verify death dates and other Stanners ancestors.  I think both Malcolm and Christiana share great grandparents Malcom Stanners (1716-) and Agnes Taylor (1722-).

Ellen
