Looking for connections with this family. I was told by grandparents that Daniel Blake was born in Macoupin County in 1828. Obviously that was wrong since Macoupin didn't excist until 1829. Is Madison the name of the previous county or the name of a city? According to the info I have this family moved to Illinoise by 1828 and to this day have many descendents still in Illinoise. My line moved on to Johnson County Missouri. Would like to find out more about those who stayed in Illinoise. Need info on all spouses also. If there is any connections please mail me.
