Melany, I have the following: Mary Elizabeth Lynch Birth 15 Aug 1842 in _Illinois_ (http://places.ancestry.com/index.aspx?tid=12950490&pid=309789247&eid=8961271156) Death 12 Sept 1871 _Jefferson Co, Illinois_ (http://places.ancestry.com/index.aspx?tid=12950490&pid=309789247&eid=8961271160) Buried Kirk Cemetery- photo of gravestone is on the website _http://jefferson.ilgenweb.net/cems/kirkcem.htm_ (http://jefferson.ilgenweb.net/cems/kirkcem.htm) Father: _Absalom Lynch_ (http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/12950490/person/352946712) (javascript:;) 1810 – 1884 Mother: _Jane Osborn_ (http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/12950490/person/352954151) (javascript:;) 1820 – 1899 <<<< Mary Elizabeth Lynch was b c1843 and is the daughter of Marmaduke B. Lynch and Sarah Ann Wolsey. Does this agree with your info? I see in the Jefferson County Death Register (page 24), that there is a Mary Johnson who died giving childbirth 24 Jul 1878 in Bald Hill Township. Don't know if the same Mary or not. Melany>>>>
