Darleen, I corresponded with a lady (sorry I can't find her name now) who was looking for the surname COON, but I do remember giving her the name of a friend of my mothers as she is the mother - in - law of a Nancy Coon Taylor. You might check with her - she is quite elderly. Her name is Edna Taylor - 205 N Lilac - Elmwood, IL 61529 or better yet - Nancy Coon Taylor's address is #1 Roth CT - Metamora, IL (sorry I don't have the zip). They are both in the Peoria County area - right next to Know county.
