It seems many came from Kentucky and it appears Muhlenberg County Kentucky is a good bet. The name Sarah Unsell tells me nothing at this point but I do know there was a family of Unsell's from Kentucky who moved to Clark Co. Illinois. They seemed to settle in the Darwin, Illinois area. Any help with the Unsell's would be appreciated. I would be happy to share further.
