I have a Lydia J Chamberlin from Illinois who married John B. Forbes in Tazewell County, IL. I was searching on one of thier son's William A. Forbes when I finally found them listed on his death certificate. It appears John B died before William was 16 and Lydia remarried. I've been having some problems straightening out what happened. If you could share your knowledge with me, that would be great! Oh! William's family ended up in Seattle, WA during the logging days. Rebecca Forbes yellow_maple01@hotmail.com
