Thanks for looking. I knew that Reuben was Levi and Joseph Jr's brother from an entry in the archives about Joseph Sr's will that listed all of the childern. A cousin gave me some of her info about Thomas and Rebecca being in Knox Co, but I can't find them in the census index. Thomas supossedly helped to build a church and served in the Civil War in a Ill unit. I found Reuben and Levi's family in the census, but not Joseph. I sometimes think my ancestors just fell off the face of the earth on census day.
