This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Moore, Teare Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Jg.2ADI/1388 Message Board Post: I am seeking information about a temperance colony (maybe known as the Illinois Temperance Colony) that formed in Galena in 1870-1871. The group left Illionos to homestead in Cheever Township, Dickinson County, Kansas in early 1871. It was led by a Rev. W. B. Christopher, who apparently later returned to Illinois. My GGF, Joseph Thomas Moore, was among the members - as - as were J. W. Robson and (Charles) Daniel Teare. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
