Dear
Tamara,
Here is the entry in the 1860
Census you referred to. I’m sending the whole entry, since it will take almost
as much effort to explain it if I don’t.
1860 Census
of Brown County, Illinois, Missouri Twp
1734/1674
Thomas Forsythe 33 m farmer
Ireland
Mrs Parthena Forsythe 26 f
Illinois
Mary Forsythe 6 f
Illinois
John Forsythe 3 m
Illinois
Lucy Forsythe 11/12 f
Illinois
Matthew White
23 m farmer Kentucky
Matthew could be Parthena’s
brother or he could be just a hired worker on the
farm.
The following marriage entry
makes him the latter.
Groom
Bride

Book/Page
County
FORSYTHE,
THOMAS BELL, PARTHINA 11/17/1853 A&B/00000297
BROWN
Sincerely,

Hello.
I was looking at your index of the Brown Co., Illinois 1860 census and
their is a Matthew White Listed at M1734, Can you tell me is any of the
following people also lived in his household. Some of the children may
have already moved out on their own. And I have to idea of a wife's
name.
Matthew Age aprox
49
Samuel Age
26
Mary Age
22
James Age
20
Sarah Age
18
Eliza Age 14 or
16
Matilda Age
13
These people lived in Jo Daviess Co. Illinois in 1840 &
1850. However, I don't find them there after that.
Thank you
for you help.
Tamara (White) Miller
