Could I have a lookup for Robert Dorothy in Laomine township---not for sure what years---he was a constable....I cannot find any information on this man except his wife Mary Ruddell and the list of his children....would like to know where all he lived and buried. Thank you, Deanna
In the 1862 Military Census there is no Robert Dorothy left in La Moine Twp. only the following: DOROTHY, Archibald - 20, Illinois, Farmer DOROTHY, John - 22, Illinois, Farmer DOROTHY, William - 18, Illinois, Farmer And here is the written info. from the La Moine Twp., Mc Donough Co. website: At the general election of 1856, the question of township organization was submitted, and having received the requisite number of the votes of the county for such organization the county judge appointed a committee, December 4, of that year, to divide the county into townships, and in due time the committee reported that they had performed that duty. By the action of that committee this township was called Lamoine, and comprises 36 sections, or a full congressional township. At the first township election, held April 7, 1857, the following officers were elected: John Twidwell, J. S. Holliday, justices of the peace; and Robert Dorothy, constable. I did a search of the Mc Donough Co. website for the name "Dorothy" and only looked at the ones that looked promising. Here are the search results http://www.picosearch.com/cgi-bin/ts.pl
