Mary Pearl Willis later married a Ben Bennett and had three children that I know of. They remained in Kankakee County, IL. The child of James Raleigh Carey and Pearl Willis was born in Peoria, IL and given up for adoption. James Raleigh Carey was in the Kankakee, IL area at that time but disappears after the birth of the child. Anyone know this person or his descendents? The daughter given up for adoption is a close friend of the family and is still living and is desperate to find blood relatives. Anyone? Thanks so much.
