You are aware that Hanna's first husband was Curtis K. Harvey? Born in Vermont and died 1848 in Knox Co, IL. And 1870 census shows someone named Seymour Key living with the Eads family and Dorcas Proctor. There is a small mention of Curtis Harvey in a Knox Co biography of his son in law Alfred Craig. It appears that Alfred & his brother in law Curtis Jr were pretty prominent citizens. Perhaps there is a good obituary on the mother Hannah to be found on microfilm at Galesburg Library. Have you gotten her death cert which may state exactly where she was born? ----- Original Message ----- From: Edward Baltzer To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, March 05, 2004 10:13 PM Subject: [ILKNOX-L] Kate (Eads) Stilson; Hannah K ({Proctor) Eads Kate A. Eads b1857 and her mother Hannah K (Proctor) Eads b abt 1815 and father John Eads are ancestors whom I cannot trace back beyond their residence in Knox and Henry counties Illinois. Does anyone know anything about them? They reportedly are DAR and Mayflower society people. Kate was my g grandmother. Also Hannah K may have been related to Francis Scott Key; we think her middle name was Key. Any obituaries, birth records, or??
