Grace, I was reading through some old messages this evening. I may have already sent you a note on this. I have "brick wall" John T. Smith, born 1821 in PA who moved to Knox County IL. He moved there sometime around 1840-1850, married, resided in Knoxville and died there in 1901. Does this connect? Thanks.
