NATURALIZATION: Letter dated 17 Jan 1984 from Robert Buecher, St. Louis, MO:
This letter is in reply to your letter dated 11 Jan 1984. In that letter you requested the location of St. Clair County (IL) naturalization records for 1816 to 1905. I have enclosed copies of my preface to the book, "St. Clair County, Illinois Naturalization Index, 1816-1905" [by Robert Buecher, Copyright 1976, Heritage House, Rt. 1, Box 211, Thomson, Illinois]. In that preface it states that after I compiled my index and the county offices were in the new courthouse, the original records and index (which I published) could no longer be found. Many ofus in our local genealogical society feel that they simply threw out many of the old records when they left the old courthouse. The original custodian of these records was the Circuit Clerk of St. Clair County. Several months ago, a member of our St. Clair County Genealogical Society again checked with the Circuit Court Clerk to see if these records have ever shown up, but none before about 1906 could be found. The only record that exists is the photocopy of the index book which I made and from which I prepared my book for publication. I have enclosed two items which might be of interest to you as you do research in St. Clair County, IL. Sincerely, Robert Buecher, 3250 Suson Ct., #2, St. Louis, MO. [His letter not retained. See naturalization entry below.]
Note: This letter was written to Norman Hellmers who had seen a copy of the above index of naturalizations which listed: page 41, Peter Villhard, document #2783, court term Sep 1860. The Ancestry.com entry listed below does not give all of the index information from the book.

MARRIAGE: Marriage record not found.
Letter dated 27 Sep 1982 from County Clerk, County of St. Clair, Belleville, IL:
I have searched 1854, 1855, and 1856 and did not find a marriage on record for Peter Villhard and Margaret Elizabeth Neff, signed E. Ann Roseberry, Deputy Clerk. [Letter not retained.]
Letter dated about Sep 1982 from County Clerk, County of Clinton, Carlyle, IL:
Sorry, but we had no record of the marriage of Peter Villhard to Margaret Elizabeth Neff about 1855, Clinton County, IL. There is no charge for the map, Alvin P. Erlinger, County Clerk. [Letter not retained.]
Letter dated 29 Dec 1983 from St. Louis Public Library, St. Louis, MO, History and Genealogy Department, requesting a lookup from the "Index of St. Louis Marriages, 1804-1876":
The Peter Villhard-Elizabeth Neff marriage apparently didn't take place in St. Louis. There's no Villhard entry at all. Three Elizabeth Neffs married here before 1876 but the grooms' names were nothing like Peter or Villhard. The naturalization book is going to microfilm for copying today, signed Leland Hilligon. [Letter not retained.]
Letter dated 18 Jan 1984 from Norma Plescher True, Trenton, IL, stated she had checked the records of St. John's Evangelical and Reformed church in Mascoutah and did not find a marriage of Peter and Elizabeth Villhard. [Letter not retained.]
Letter dated 9 Feb 1984 from Robert Buecher, St. Louis, MO:
Lists of Neff and Villhard marriages from St. Clair County, IL from 1790-1905 enclosed. It does not appear that your Peter Villhard marriage to Margaretha Elisabetha Neff is found on that list. Perhaps they were married in a neighboring Illinois county. [The Villhard marriage index enclosed contained marriage data on the following Villhard names: John to Mary Land, Peter to Lizzie Free, Phillip to Emma Lang, William to Elizabeth Smith, Peter to Catharine P. Nessler. See their notes for information.] [Letter not retained.]
Letter dated 21 Jul 1998 from Jackson Avenue Evangelical Congregation, Jackson Avenue and Chippewa Street, New Orleans, LA, from Terry S. Heigle, secretary, stating: I researched the records and found no record on the marriage of Johann Peter Villhard and Margaretha Neff. Thank you for your donation to the church. [Letter not retained.]

CHILDREN: Letter dated 9 Feb 1984 from Robert Buecher, St. Louis, MO, he stated:
I checked my published books of St. Clair County, IL Birth and Death Records for 1843-1856 and 1856-1870, but could not find any mention of the surname Villhard. [Letter not retained.]

Letter dated about Sep 1982 from County Clerk, County of Clinton, Carlyle, IL:

[Letter not retained.]

LETTER: Letter dated about 22 Sep 1982 from Norma (Pletcher) True and her mother Anna (Villhard) Pletcher, in response to questions by Norman Hellmers:
Anna would have been about 11 years old when her grandmother Villhard died. What does she remember about her?
Only that she had a number of cysts on her head and usually wore a bonnet. When they lived on the farm, they always had a lot of company on Sundays. They often had dances at their home also. I remember my Grandfather John Villhard saying he felt that people took advantage of his parents hospitality, and John did not extend that sort in his home. I got the impression that it became a financial burden to his parents. [Letter not retained.]

Notes:
In 1850, Elisabetha Neff bore a child out of wedlock, Adam Neff. Elisabetha Neff and her son Adam, along with her husband-to-be, Peter Villhard, emigrated to the United States in 1854. They arrived in New Orleans, Louisiana, on 28 Dec 1854, and perhaps were married there, although no record has been found to date. In spring of 1855, they apparently took a steamboat up the Mississippi River. Their first child, a son Peter, was apparently born on the boat on 26 Apr 1855, as his birthplace in the 1910 federal census is listed as "on river near Cairo." They settled in St. Clair County, Illinois.
It is unclear whether the father of Adam Villhard was Peter Villhard, although it appears unlikely. The true father may never be known.
