Can anyone tell me a little about what Hamilton County is like and what it was like in about 1830-40s? My GGGgrandparents left Leeds Cty, Ontario and went to Hamilton County NY for several years before homesteading in Henry Cty, IL. I would like to find out why they went there and the only thing I can come up with is that his family was UEL and he returned to the "homeplace". I would appreciate any information. His name was Michael Grant. Audrey Annable Franklin
