Hi listers - We have found our James CLOSE and Jane BENTLEY and their family in Emington, Illinois. Some of the children and grandchildren, and even a nephew and his family, ended up in California after leaving Illinois. This has been a struggle finding them, but very rewarding. We have not found all the children yet, as there were at least 14 that we know of. I would be interested to know if any one else on the list has CLOSE relatives from the Emington, Illinois, area which is near Broughton. Names which married into the CLOSE family (so far) in Illinois are GERHART, WEATHERHEAD, GRISWOLD, SHAW, COSSELMEN, PARKER. - Karen in BC Canada
