Dear Sue, What years were your ancestors in Ohio? It is quite possible that my line was there around the turn of the century. It looks like they left North Carolina after 1790 and turned up in Kentucky around 1805 and in Indiana a few years later. There are some clues that they may have been in Ohio, but nothing substantial. Also, where and when in Illinois? My line were in Vermilion County in the early 1800s. This has been a fascinating search. I am enjoying it, but becoming skeptical that I will ever really find any answers. Pat
