Any chance there's more information in the "Facts and Folks" book about the earlier Drew generations? I would like to know how John W. Drew b Mar 1831 IL (according to 1900 Moores Prairie, JCI census) fits in with the older generations. John married Alcy C. Brooks 11/17/1857 FCI but has a bunch of Clark kids and their apparent mother living with him and his new wife in 1860 FCI census. Sarah Clark is age 56 born in TN. Clark children are: Julyann? age 12 John age 20, James age 16 and Josephine age 14. Josephine Clark continues to live with John and Alcy Caroline (Brooks) Drew in the 1870 JCI census and then marries William M. Drew 4/22/1875 JCI. I'm always interested in these "collateral" lines that are distantly connected to my families. I am wondering if this Sarah Clark was married to one of the sons of Jacob Clark and Lucinda Lacefield. They had 16 children I believe including 10 sons: Reuben b 1794, William b 1795, Daniel b 1797, Abraham b 1798, John b 1799, David b 1801, Henry b 1805, Jacob Jr. b 1810, Hiram b 1817, Isaac b 1822.
