    The research you have done is amazing. Ephraim J. Cooksey 1821-1890 was my great great grandfather. He married Elizabeth (Phillips) Cooksey and gave birth too my great grandmother, Sarah Elizabeth Cooksey who married Rev Wiley Berry Chamness My grandmother was Delia Chamness (1882- 1924) who married Albert Simmons. My mother Ruby Jane Chamness was Delia’s 13th child. Ruby married Lee Ander Benton June 29, 1935. I was her 4th child and was
    separated from my birth family at the age of 18 months. I found my siblings and parents in 1967, but I’ve always been curious about my geneology. Thank you for putting these pieces of the puzzle together for those of us who want to know. You are much appreciated. April 9, 2014, Carolyn Sue Benton Trower/

      Dear Carolyn,

      After reading your family history, I would especially like to talk to you regarding the husband of Sarah Elizabeth Cooksey. She married one of the sons of Rev Wiley Berry Chamness; his name was John Mccreary Chamness. I have a great deal of information on the Chamness family in Southern Illinois. You may contact me at rsdesignsinc@comcast.net

      Sue Grisham Hardwig
      My grandmother was a Chamness.
