On the 1900 census he stated he was b 44, was 58 years old, had immigrated in 1852, was a naturalized citizen and had been unemployed for 12 months. He is listed as being born in France and the oldest child is listed as being born in 1877 in Kentucky, all the rest born in Illinois, up to my grandmother, Emma Elizabeth b in Stonefort in 1897.

I am researching steam bakeries of the mid-1800's, and I am trying to understand exactly how steam was used in the process. Was it used to drive machinery that maxed ingredients? Was it used to move product from one part of the bakery to the next? Or was it used soley to run steam through pipes, thereby heating the ovens? Any help in this would be greatly appreciated.

Submitter: Jane Lands (Butch2Jane@aol.com)
Date: 14 Jul 1999

Looking for anyone with information on Land family that I found in 1850 Saline Co.Fed.Census. Father is Reuben, mother Rhoda, children are Thomas, William, etc. What brought me to Saline County was the fact that these same people are listed in the 1870 Il.Census Index as being Lands, not Land. My interest is because my husband's greatgrandfather was William Lands who died in Farmington, Mo. and was the son of Nancy Barton from Clark Co., Il and William Lands from Il.or Ind.(seen both ways). My husband's gggrandfather has been very difficult to find and document. Wonder if somewhere along the line his name was ever Land, not Lands. My Wm.Lands would have been born around 1840 or so, just like the William Lands in the 1850 Saline co.census. If anyone is familiar with this family's descendants, and the proper spelling, please contact me. It could be my link to William Lands, so far the most difficult ancestor to find, even though it wouldn't seem that difficult. Thank you.
