I get 114 Lander’s for IL in 1860 – no Maria’s. There are 27 using a birth of 1835 +/- 5 yrs. Do you have any idea what county? Do you know where she was born? In 1880 there’s a Maria Lander b IL abt 1839, living in Martinez, Contra Costa, CA. Another b abt 1822 in Ireland, living in Holyoke, Hampden, MA Betty FL Dear Betty, If it's not a problem, please look for any Lander in the IL 1860 Census. I'm particularly looking for Maria Lander but don't know if she was there in 1860 or not. I don't know her parents. Maria would have been about 25 on the 1860 Census. Darlene
