Posted on: Knox Co. Il Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/Knox/10889 Surname: Hull ------------------------- Since the previous posting, I have a new email address. More importantly, the Warren County Circuit Court located the divorce of Mary Jane Johnston and Ferdinand Miles Hull in 1865, which was definitely scandalous. My ggm just flat-out lied about being a widow. It appears that this same Ferdinand soon married Johanna Reardon in Lafayette Co. WI. They had a child, Maude Margarite, born in Delavan, Tazewell Co in 1870. Then Ferdinand and Johanna moved to Chicago, where he practiced veterinary surgery until he became disabled and later died in 1894; buried at Oakwoods Cemetery in Chicago. This is the story as it now appears, but a lot can change. If anyone has add'l information, such as veterinary surgeons in Knox and Warren Co. in the 19th century, or something about Mary Jane Johnston (aka Johnson)'s family in Knox County, this would be appreciated. (She supposedly was b. Highland Co. Ohio in 1822, and moved with her family around 1831 1st to Indiana then to Knox Co). I would be willing to be more specific about the nature of the scandal if someone can help. Thanks.
