Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/He.2ADI/159 Message Board Post: Has anyone ever heard of the early Illinois town of America or New America. My gggrandmother made statement in her application for her husband's War of 1812 pension that they were married in 1829 in New America, Alexander Co., Ill. On the marriage record it states that they were both of America, Ill. I guess this town has disappeared from the face of the earth or it's name was changed. If anyone can help me locate this town or where is was it would be very much appreciated. Tim Freeman
