Thanks so much for the information. I do know my 'Robinson' lived in Lincoln, Logan Co., IL (called Postville for a time) from about 1840 to about 1868 and my 'Craven' lived in Lincoln, IL about that same time frame. Both have been documented on the IL 1850 and 1860 census. I will let you know if I see any connection to the names below as I continue to search. I am also searching for a 'Green' that, according to the 1860 IL Census, had a connection to my 'Robinson'.
