This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Britton, Whipple, Wicks, Sutherland, Andrews, Reves, Reeves, Clark, Sutherland Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/CI.2ADEB/6443.1.2 Message Board Post: Hello and thank you for posting family info. My Sutherland kin were closely related to the Whipple family of Milo, Illinois. My great-grandfather was Benjamin Franklin Sutherland. He came from a huge farming family that called Milo, IL home. Checking the book 'A Thousand and a Half Sutherlands' by Neil S. Sutherland of NV, I see we (Brittons, Whipples, Reves, Andrews, Sutherlands and Clarks) are all listed on or near pg 96--meaning we are closely related via Isaac Sutherland (b.1802) and Sylvia Hackett.
