Hi Dean -        Addie Magee's name caught my attention in your recent posting.  Adeline C. Magee b. abt 1845 was the granddaughter of Elizabeth McManis (Magee) Hibben.  After the death of her first husband, Dr. James Washington Magee, Elizabeth married William Hibben of Wilmington, Clinton County, OH, so that is why I know a bit about the Magee family.        Addie's father was William Bostwick Magee and her mother was Mary Jane Harris.  They moved to Bureau County, IL (adjacent to La Salle County) in the 1840s along with several other families from Clinton County, OH.  One of these families were the Corwins.  Franklin A. Corwin had married William Hibben's daughter, Rebecca Jane.  All of their vital statistics can be found on Rootsweb.com's WorldConnect database.  Just search on Adeline C. Magee and then proceed to click on her parents and grandparents.  Let me know if you have problems.        During my research I found transcripts of several letters written by Elizabeth McManis (Magee) Hibben to her son and daughter in law (William and Mary Magee) when they were living in Bureau County.  The dated letters cover the period 1845 to 1853.  They were found in the Hibben and McManis family folders at the Clinton County Historical Society.  Some of the letters had been numbered.  Many of the numbers were missing, so they may have been misfiled.  Three of the letters refer to young Adeline.  If you are interested in the letters and the Magee side of your family, I would be pleased to share all I have with you.         Unfortunately, I have no information about James F. Cunningham, but am please to be able to add his name as the husband of Addie Magee!  Please share his vital statistics and those of his children.        I suggest that you reply directly in future correspondence.  I replied to the List just to add the Hibben connection. George

Greetings from Streator, Streator was called "Hardscrabble" and "Unionville", but its post office from 1844? to 1868 was called "Eagle". If you are looking for someone in Streator at that time, check Bruce, Otter Creek and Eagle Townships. Also check Livingston County, esp. Newtown, Reading Townships. I have almost 50,000 Streator Area people on my FTM, who are you looking for?

Streator is included in Bruce Township in the 1880 Federal Census. If you are looking at the images online at Ancestry.com, you will find Bruce under "other townships". Streator starts on page 5 of District 54.

Has anyone followed the Union Irish brigade, the 23rd Illinois Volunteer Infantry, from their reorganization and duty at Camp Douglas through their service in West Virginia to duty in the Shenandoah Valley to St. Petersburg to Appomattox Court House? I want to see where my paternal great-greatuncle, Thomas Connor, Pvt. of Co. D, was, if that's possible. Tom came to Earlville, La Salle County, from Boston after serving the three months' in 1861. I have the short version of the regimental history from Dyer and would prefer not to re-invent the wheel by researching the Supplement to the O. R. for daily orders for that company if some kind soul has already done so. Any hope out there? And has anyone gone over the route in person? I would surely appreciate any information from great views to tourist spots to museums not to be missed. Thank you. Margaret Moore [email protected]
