Researchers, The main thing I really want is to learn the identity of the first wife of Alexander CARRICO. He would have been married after 1850 and perhaps before 1855. They had a child, Mary J. CARRICO, born ca. 1857, according to the 1860 census. An unknown female child was indicated in the 1855 census, as I mention below. Mary J. CARRICO is not seen after 1870, probably due to marriage. Was there a 1865 or 1875 state census of Illinois? If so, where can one be viewed? John D. Sissom - JDSissom@JUNO.COM member: Wood Co Chap OGS sola fide
