I found out about an hour ago that my great grandfather, William WOODWORTH had land in JoDaviess County instead of Hancock county, where I had been searching to no avail for these past months. Is there a JoDaviess query board for me to post? I am now researching all the cemetaries in the county for his internment. Is there a newspaper there that might have printed his obit in 1889? Any information anyone may be able to afford me on this will be greatly appreciated. If anyone has any places for me to research in that area that will benefit me, I would graceously accept them. There was an L.P. WOODWORTH that worked for the county as supervisor(?) He had 2 sons, 2 adopted sons and a son-in-law in the war between the states. He lived in the town of Courtland. Can anyone give me a lead on who he was/ His parents names/his wifes name, and names of his sons? Also names of any family members. I know this is a lot of questions and I do not expect quick answers to them. I have been researching him for 25 years and don't expect it to end in a few days, believe me!!! <G> Thank you in advance.
