John Mellick, I do have the 1840 Coles Co., IL census book. There are 7 Beals listed on it. Would you like that info or do you have it already? James Wiswall, Have you checked the Morgan Co., IL census? (I personally do not have a copy) It lists William T. Brown as well as several other William Browns from 1830 to 1860 dealing with Jacksonville township as well as Waverly and Arcadia. Mary Myers, Have you checked the 1860 Grundy Co., IL census. there are several William Browns listed there for 1860 only. Felix, Highland & Vienna townships. I do not have that census.
