Probably nothing on the marriage, too early. James Sexton had a will, he died 1875?. Maybe he left something to his "brother-in-law?" The La Salle Co. Genealogy Guild has the org. of the will. Where was Charles when his brother in law died? Kansas? Would there be a death notice/obit for Sexton, "saying brother in law of Rumble died?" We have a lot of those in the Streator paper. When did Charles and his wife die? Their obit could have made the Streator paper. There are a lot of "wife's brother, in- law's, obits in the paper with no name of the deceased. FYI - There was an Isaac Carle living in Bruce in 1850, he and his wife had a child, named Elizabeth born about 1838. Since Elizabeth and Chas. first son was Isaac, that was probably her father. I don't know what happened to Isaac and Jane Carle. I will look and see ir I can find anything. -- Streatorland Historical Society 306 South Vermillion Street Streator, Illinois 61364 Monday - Friday 9:30 - 2:30 Sunday 1 - 4 p.m.

Hi Joanie Thank you for your suggestions. I am going to order James Sexton's will for a start. What about Naturalization records? I notice there are 14 reels of naturalization index cards for LaSalle County available at the LDS. Would they be of any value in my search? We know that Charles Rumble was born in England. I would like to prove that he actually went from Canada to Illinois in the mid-1850's. Bonnie -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
