Posted on: Edgar Co., IL Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/Edgar/499 Surname: MARRS, REED ------------------------- I am looking for SYLVANUS/SILVANUS (IRA?) F. MARRS. From various persons, I have gathered information on SYLVANUS. If someone, who presently lives in Edgar County, could do a lookup for me. I would give me what I know about him. IRA maybe a nickname of his. I have found a marriage record for him in Indiana. It shows Sylvanus was married to NANCY REED on October 9, 1828 at Clark County, Indiana. Ira and Nancy had five children born in Paris, Edgar County, IL. Of the five children, I have names and birthdates for their two sons but not for their three daughters. Harvey R. Marrs b. August 22,1829 James William Marrs b. March 7, 1941 In Harvey's obituary states that he was survived by one brother and three sisters but no names.
