Were your TRAYLOR related to the ones in Fayette Co, IL? TRAYLOR is not a surname of mine, but my uncle by marriage was Wilbur TRAYLOR whose family came in to the Fayette Co, IL area early. There are many buried there. I hope this helps somehow. My direct surname line is on my homepage under the HIMES section. http://members.truepath.com/beverly/index.html Beverly (HIMES) BARGER in NM Michelle wrote: > At 07:17 PM 5/24/99 EDT, you wrote: > >A remarkable spurt of activity from the Christian County, Ill., group.
