Cliff,
Here’s the information you
requested:
From
Cemeteries
of Brown County, Illinois
Wethers Burials, pp.
390-391
In
the southwest quarter of Section 8, Versailles Township, 2 S, 2 W,at the
entrance to the Thomas Root homestead are the graves of two Wethers children.
They were two of the eight children of Quinton and Sarah T. (Sallee) Wethers and
were reportedly victims of scarlet fever.
Quenton Wthers was born in
Culpepper County, Virginia, in November, 1804 and when only two years of age
accompanied his father to Bourbon County, Kentucky. He grew to manhood there and
learned the trade of caroenter. Later he went to Missouri, and there, around
1830, married Sarah Sallee. He settled in Section 9 of Brown County in 1838 on
land which he took from the government. He also owned land in Section 8 of the
same township.
In
1882, the Wethers family was living in Chautauqua County,
Kansas.
Recorded burials are:
Ella A., dau. of Quenton and
Sarah Wethers, d. 23 Jul 1856, age 17 yrs, 3 m., 28
days.
