Research Notes

Many members of this family can be found migrating between Fayette County, Illinois, and Franklin County, Arkansas, repeatedly.
William's identification in the 1865 Illinois State Census in Fayette County concurs with the account in son John's obituary that William's family moved there in 1865.
