Thanks, Marilyn. Those marriages are my 2nd GGF's in Fayette County. The Uriah you found was Uriah W. Helm's cousin. Uriah W. Helm did marry a second time to Louisa J. BULLARD in Marion County in February 1878. They were living in Fayette County IL by the 1880 census and they both died there on the same day in May 1885. I've noticed a very peculiar pattern in that several of my Fayette County IL HELM and LOVELESS families were married in Marion County all between 1877 and 1878 but then lived in Fayette County as of the 1880 census. I found that very curious. I suppose there's a reason, but then again, maybe not <grin> Cheryl [email protected] wrote: > I have the Family Tree Maker's CD Marriage index, Illinois 1851-1900. > > I looked up for Uriah W.
