According to family tradition, my great-great grandfather, James K.P. Liggett spent his last days living in Quincy in the Soldiers and Sailors home. I have searched the online records and hard copy records in Springfield, but haven't found proof of him living/dying in Quincy. He was born around 1844 in Indiana and joined the Civil War as a musician in 1861. After being released from his military duty, he moved to Illinois where he married Susan Moore in 1873 in Springfield, IL. I know he was married at least one more time before he married my great-great grandmother, Evangeline Peterson, in Vermilion County, IL in 1890. Shortly thereafter, they moved to Bloomington, IL where my great-grandmother, Eva Edna Liggett was born. I found them in the city directories through 1902. In 1909, they are in Peoria and that is the last I can find of them. I know my great-grandmother must have married sometime in last 1909 because her first child was born in 1910. James K.P. Liggett made his living as a painter before he turn to God and became a minister. I have requested his Civil War records from NARA, but haven't received them yet. Any suggestions on where else I can check? Carla
