Posted on: Edgar Co., IL Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/Edgar/353 Surname: ------------------------- Cyrus and Mary Ferrell Mapes came to Edgar County, Illinois, from Muskingum County, Ohio, in about 1848, shortly after their marriage. They were followed by the Ferrells. Cyrus' father William died in 1848, and one of Cyrus' brothers is living with him during the taking of the 1850 census in Edgar County. He had brothers Isaac and Marcellus, as well as many other cousins who may have come to Illinois. Does this sound like any of your family?
