Tracee:

 

Here is the family you requested. The writing on this township is sometimes irratic.

 

1870 Federal Census, Illinois, Brown County, Versailles Township #263/263:

 

George C. Sturdevant 30, stonemason, Ohio

Clarinda Sturdevant 28, keeps house, Wisconsin (I have nothing to compare against, but the initials are fairly clearly Wis)

George H. (age has smudged ink), at home, Illinois (the middle initial could also be a K.)

Clara 1, at home, Illinois

Out of curiosity I checked the cemetery index and found Clarinda. Note that the spelling is different, and George's middle initial is given as H:

 

Cemeteries of Brown Co, IL 1825-1972

South Side Cemetery, Versaiiles, pp 354, 355:

 

Clirinda, wife of G. H. Sturdevant, (d. 7 Sep 1871 aged 30 yrs)

 

The only other Sturdevant listed in the book is in the Jaques Cemetery, Elkhorn, Twp, p.66:

 

Edgar Sturdevant (d. 13 Feb 1863 aged 47 yrs) He is said to be a relative of the Jaques family.

In case you don't have it, here is their marriage from the Illinois Statewide Marriage Index Online:

 

STURDEVANT, GEORGE H. & LAROONE, CLARINDA  05/28/1861 Book A&B Lic#1010 BROWN Co, IL

  

Hope these items are of help to you.
