Debbie is right, this list is way too quiet. My contribution isn't great. I still have many photos, documents and letters from my maternal ggg grandfather, George C Wilson b: 22 AUG 1817 (Allegheny Co, PA) d: 1 NOV 1902 (Gibson City, Ford Co., IL) m: 24 AUG 1841 Margaret Jane Taggart. Some day I hope to get to snoop about the area where his farm once was; many of his letters describes the area fairly well. In his early days he was a Presbyterian minister, converted to Baptist, ended up farming and raising a dozen children. Is anybody on the ILFORD List doing anything with this family line?
