Correction to my note of Oct. 3. It was Lord William Scully who bought the Logan County lands in the 1850s for $1.25 per acre. He was born in 1821 and became a US citizen in 1900, according to notes left by my Aunt based on a news report. At his death in 1906, he left an estate of 30,000 acres in Logan County, plus another 12,000 in Grundy County, 4,000 in Sangamon, 60,000 in Nebraska, 50,000 in Kansas, and 40,000 in Missouri. His wife died in London in 1932. Their son, Thomas Scully (1879-1961), and his wife, Isabel Burrell, had 4 children in England. They were Shiela, Sylvia, Ira, and Thomas Douglas Scully. Thomas divorced Isabel because she refused to immigrate to the US. He then married Violet Mary Simpson, who did immigrate with him in 1925. Thomas and Violet had two sons, Peter Dennys Scully and Michael John Scully. These two sons inherited the US. lands, Thomas left some 92,000 acres in Illinois), while the four children in England got $650,000 each over an 8 year period.
