Looking for Jennings and Williams family. Cordelia Williams
was living
in Schuyler Co. Woodstock Co. next to B.H. Ingles. Her husband's name was
John Williams. They cannot be found in the 1870 Census. They associated
and intermarried with famililies by the name of Ruby and Small. The Ruby
and Small's were in Iowa bef 1850, then ILL, then MO by 1860 and then possibly
back to IND and they returned to ILL by 1880 and then back to MO, KS and
tthen to NW. Looking for a Charles Jennings who was killed by a train abt.
1879. His son Charles Albert was born in 1875 in ILL, whose mother was
Laura Williams, b. 1856 possibly in MO. These families were in both Schuyler
and Brown. Need to find where WIlliams family came from - There are several
hundred John Williams in MO, IL, KS and IN - Need to find some records
that would identify Williams family in this area for years prior and after
1880. Cordelia was blind and must have had a reason to be living in Woodstock
Twp. especailly if she came from somehwere else. What happened to her husband?

Looking for info on a John M. (Martin ) Bell who married a Mary Ann
Smith. They resided in Clayton, Adams Cty, 1850 census. Mary Ann Smith
Bell died Jan 17 1872 probably Adams County, but I have no info on her

E. b: 1853 William B; 1855 Marcellus b: 1857 Ema B; 1859 Reuben S.
1865
Mattie b: 1871. I know they were married in Brown Cty by a Reuben McCoy,
and that somehow there is a link to a Hanna Smith McCoy, but I can't put
it together. Anyone who can share info would be appreciated. Thanks, Rick.

I am currently researching the Churchill surname. My line lived in
Brown County from around 1860 to 1920. Robert and Helen Churchill had 10
children 5 of which were born in Brown County. Names include Marietta,
Robert, Franklin, Roswell, Amon, Katie G., and Rolland. They lived in Mt.
Sterling however I have been able to find very little records. Any and
all help would be greatly appreciated as after two years of research I
have turned up very little on this family. Thank-you, April
