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?? Thank you in advance for any help, Edward Baltzer Grand Junction, Colorado
