Researching the DERRY line out of Adams, Schuyler, Hancock and Brown Counties in Illinois. JACOB DERRY (1797-1877) and wife RACHEL (nee BRIGHT). They had 9 children. I am primarily interested in second-born son, BASIL DERRY, born in 1820. Some data states that he was possibly a postmaster with name spelled DEARING. It was also mentioned that he could have been a Brethren minister. Other variant spellings are DAIRY, DAISY, DARRY, DARY, DERY, etc. Thank you! Joan Derry
