Hello! I was happy to find there is another person researching Illinois Behymers. Perhaps Kathy's Henry Behymer and my Mary E. Beehimer were brother and sister, but I don't have proof yet that she is the Mary Beehimer in the 1850 Census, daughter of Elijah Beehimer. The age for Mary is right (age 11) as my Mary was born in 1839, but I've had trouble finding out anything else about her. Thanks! Mary eagle@ccipost.net
