MARY
JANE SLAYBACK, daughter of
Solomon and Elly (House), was born about 1834 in
Ohio. Records indicate a Mary J. Slayback married
John Perry Whiteside in Madison County, Illinois
on 07 April 1847.
They were enumerated in the 1850 Madison Co., IL census
residing in Township 3N Rage 8W with one son
Jacob Miller Whiteside who was born about January
1850, listed as nine months old.
There is in the mortality schedule
for the year 1850 a one year old John Whiteside
who died in July of "Brain Cong" and it
is speculated this may have been the first born
son of John and Mary.
The husband of Mary, is the son of
Samuel Whiteside and Nancy (Miller) who are also
listed in the 1850 census for Madison County.
Samuel was born in 1783 in North Carolina and is
said to have served in the War of 1812, the Black
Hawk War, and that Whiteside County, Illinois was
named in honor of him. He died in 1868 in
Christian County, Illinois and was the father of
eleven children, John Perry being the ninth in
that order.
There are other researchers who
believe that Mary might have married a second
time after the death of her husband John and that
she later removed to Houston, Texas where she
died in about 1866 to 1868. According to this
research, she had married Henry J. Holmes
sometime before 1854. Henry having been born 10
Jan 1834 in St. Louis, St. Louis Co., Missouri
and was buried in Houston, Harris Co., Texas.
From census and marriage records, it
was further speculated that the children of Mary
and Henry Holmes were as follows: Henry born
about 1854 in Collinsville, Madison Co., Illinois
and married Elivira Lafour; Howard born about
1857 in Illlinois; Donsena born about March 1860
in Texas and died there before 1870; Edwin J.
born in Texas about 1863; and Clara Ella born 02
Oct 1866 in Collinsville, Madison Co., Illinois
and listed as having married (1) Elisha Nicholas
Wallis and (2) Henry Wade Wallis.
If you have information about Mary
Slayback and/or the Henry Holmes family, please contact us so that we might be able to prove
or disprove this information.

She married Isaac Cook Moore, son of

the death of his father, Isaac took over the
cowbell factory and in 1876 sold it to Christian
Blum who had come from Germany, operated a
hardware store and had previously owned a
business which supplied tin roofs for buildings.

Aside from being a blacksmith, Isaac was also a
wagonsmith, businessman and civic leader.

Collinsville, serving two one-year terms from
1870-1872. (Isaac's Photo)
An
account in the "125th Anniversary Book of
Collinsville, published in 1962," states
that Isaac found great delight in the occasional
practice of obtaining a double handful of
nickels, dimes and quarters, and would toss them
into the air so that the youngsters could
scramble for them when they fell. He was
considered one of the wealthiest men of the
community until his investments took a slide and
he was forced to take a clerking job in a local
store to earn a living.
Isaac
resided at 214 East Church Street, and died in Madison
County, Illinois. He was buried 21 May 1895 in
Section E, Lot 91, Grave 1 of the Glenwood Cemetery.
