My Hancock County, Ill. family are the Conns. Sometime in the early 1840's Henry and Parmelia Miles Conn came to Nauvoo w/ 3 children. In 1845 they had a son William Henry. They are present in this county in the 1850 census and it is shortly thereafter that Henry (the father) died in the gold fields. In don't find the family in the 1860 census but am guessing that after the death of her husband, Parmelia may have moved to Dekalb County, Ill. where her father lived. My ggg gf Spencer Scudder Conn (the oldest son of Henry and Parmelia) joined the army (civil war) at Paw Paw Illinois as did his other brother Alson Livingsworth Conn. I believe....can't recall off hand....Paw Paw is in Dekalb. The youngest son William Henry Conn was handicapped but didn't let that hinder him. He went to college in Chicago to major in music and became a teacher wherever he went. In the late 1860's this Parmelia along w/ her now grown children came to Worth County, MO. I am still looking for who Henry Conn belongs to. He was born in NY Nov. 1810. His mother was Elizabeth Mandeville but still don't know his father. In the 1850 census there is another Conn also born in NY. His name was Samuel and he would be older than Henry. Anyone have any info on Samuel to prove that he was a brother or relative of Henry's? Anyone have any info on Henry and his family? Thanks. Chancelee
