Does anyone have any history of McLean County in the 1860's that might show a mill owned by my Great, Great Grandfather, Richard ROBERTS? He was in the 1860 census .... occupation "Miller" and was newly married to Nancy Ann BERRYMAN in 1860 also. They moved to Decatur County, Iowa and Richard had a mill there also. I have a picture of that mill...it was on the river in Westerville. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much....everybody is so helpful on this list...someday I hope to visit where they lived.
