My father, Thomas Francis Vint was born in Kinsman, IL in 1909. His parents were Thomas Alexander Vint and Catherine Ann McCann. They were married in 1904 and I believe they lived in Kinsman after they were married until at least 1915. They had six boys: Aloysius, Lawrence, Joseph, Raphael, John and my dad, Thomas. I believe all the children were born in Kinsman. If anyone knows any information, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks Mary Kay in Iowa

Greetings all, Any CLUSTER researchers out there? A very nice article appeared today in the Herald News (Joliet newspaper) regarding an old barn in Morris that has been placed on the top 10 most endangered historic sites list. The story is focused on the new owners and how the barn was placed on that list. But it does mention that the barn was built for farmer Joseph Cluster in 1905. There is no additional info about Mr. Cluster and no mention of his family. However, there is a very nice picture of the barn which is worth having if you are researching that family line.

Martha, I would appreciate very much, when you have time, to see if by any chance you have a family of Wilson in one of your books. WILSON, Ananias +Jane Netta (Jannetta) (Wooten) Children: James, George, Sylvester, Julie, John & Jane Netta. (the last two were twins) They lived in Morris. Only date I have is 1862 when Ananias joined the Civil War. As far as I know he died towards the end of the war and I have lost track of her and all the children, with the excpetion of George (my g grandfather), and I really don't have anything on his early life. Thanks for any help.

Hi Patty & Others, The Will-Grundy Genealogical Society publications are listed on the website under Bibliography. You will find a link to it on the left side of the main index page at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilgrundy/index.htm or go directly to: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilgrundy/biblio.html Patty, I still haven't been able to find any additional info on your Gilchrists. If I find anything, I will let you know.

Hi, I doublt that they are. The Robinson's that I am searching are originally from England and they settled in Ohio when they came to the USA. The father was John Robinson who was born and died in England. After his death his wife Mary along with 5 of the children came to USA. Two sons William and Thomas came to the USA 1850 and 1858 respectively. Another son George married and had children before he and family came with the Mother. I have no information whatsoever on him so iit is possible that some of his family could be in Ill. Hope this answers the question. I have searched very diligently without success for family of William and George. I would certainly like to find information on John Shadrack BROWN and where he was born in England. Jane MANSFIELD was also born in England and I don't know where that was either. They married in Grundy County, Illinois August 11, 1858. I think some of these relatives wanted to hide because finding them is like finding a needle in a haystack. I'd like to get stuck with that needle once in awhile. Sincere thanks for your inquirey.

We have Ruben William Robinson, son of William Daniel Robinson and Lucinda Hill, marrying Janet Gilchristin late 1800's. in Grundy Co. where they resided until around1907. Could there be any connection? Patty

Hi Martha, Would there happen to be any information on John Shadrack BROWN who married Jane MANSFIELD August 11, 1858 in Grundy County, ILL. They both were born in England and I cannot find when or where. I cannot find when either came to the United States nor where they landed either. John was born November 25, 1815 and Jane was born March 26, 1833. You are lucky to be able to get the books.

In the 1880 Census for Sedgwicke Co. KS my grt. grt. grandmother was listed as Anna and born in Illinois. I have no idea what county she was born in that is why I have gone to the county list of IL for help. I went to the LDS center and her husband had a pedigree and that is where I found her listed as Rhoda Ann Chapman, but someone had guessed that she had been born in 1849 in Nashville, Davidson Co, TN. So would you please help me find her and thanks and blessings to you. Pastor Barbara
