Looking for the Parents of (Benjamin) Franklin McCool B.Oct 1822 IL And Eletha (Aletha?) Ann McCoy B. 1838 Il Married 1873. Had Daughter Mabel and Son General Joseph Sherman. They went to Missouri where I show them in the 1900 census. I can't find any Birth data for either on line, Does anyone know where to find the birth records or can do a look up for me? I have the Census Data for Franklin from 1860 With a Elizabeth and children, no wife in 1870 and with Eletha in 1880. I am not sure if they are part of the William D.T. McCool. OR related to the Benjamin McCoy of pope county? For the McCoys I am stuck between the James and Martha who in 1860 have a Sethee Ann 19 .Or the Ezekiel McCoy family? there is a Taletha and a Ditha of the right age. but they are long shots at this point. Any help would be appricated Jeanette
