Posted on: Edgar Co., IL Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Il/Edgar/495 Surname: Davis, Murphy ------------------------- I have a John Sylvestor Davis born march 1st, 1857 in Illinois I believe. He died on July 13th, 1923, place unknown. He married Ellen Elizabeth Murphy, daugh. of William and Susan Lovell-Murphy. The Murphys were from Edgar Co., Ill. William being born in Paris, Illinois. On a 1900 census showing the family in Platte City, Mo. it shows both davis and Murphy familys being from Illinois. Does this sound familiar? I have nothing really on John excpet for his kids till now and really don't have ALL of that. Any help would be appreciated!! Teri
