Grace B b: Mar 1877 IL (Hancock Co???) d: Nov 26, 1957 Auburn CA, m: Charles W. CAVANAUGH (date unk) iv. John "Jack" Westbrook b: Jul 2, 1882 Tingley IA, d: May 24, 1963 Goshen Co., WY, m: Fern QUIGLEY Feb 25, 1913, Denver CO I do know George & Caroline were married in Hancock Co in 1865. They lived in IL at least until until sometime between Mar 1877 and before the 1880 census. They moved to Ringgold Co., IA before the 1880 census. From Tingley they moved to Loveland CO about 1904. George died there in 1907 and Caroline remained at least until 1919 as she appears in the 1919 city directory. She moved to CA and died in Auburn in 1932. I know NOTHING of their tenure in Hancock Co., or IL. They are well documented from IA and CO, but I need HELP for IL. Thanks Gary Speck GTUSA@aol.com
