Hi I cannot add any info earlier than Frank and Lucy but I do have census records for 1900, 1910, 1920 and 1930 that show them, and each child then living at the time of the census and their birth year. Not able to find any elder Frank in earlier Ill census records. Is the uniform in your picture Union or confederate? Jerry Boatwright.

I am writing to Maxine Boatright today to see if she might possibly have any more information that has been missed or that would help in finding records. I will let you know what I find out. Did you see my earlier reply about the uniform? Are you related to this branch of the family?
