Posted on: Mason County, IL, Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/Mason/10116 Surname: CONROY ------------------------- I believe Edward CONROY was the son of Isaac CONROY and Sarah DORSEY CONROY. I show DOB as August 20, 1830. This date came from a bond for guardianship filed in Shelby Co. (OH) Probate Court in 1845. According to transcriptions of Mason Co. cemeteries, Edward died in 1907. Isaac Conroy died before the birth of his last child. The bond for guardianship was filed for the three youngest boys, including Edward, naming their oldest brother as guardian. That may very well have been a formality to insure that the younger boys received their share of any profit from the sale of Isaac's land. Around 1854, Sarah and serveral of her children moved to Mason Co. If this time frame and information fits with what you know, I'd be happy to share information with you.
