I do not know the township. His soundex is D356 "Deadmore" It is such an unusal name that I'm sure there are only 2 families in IL at the time. One was David Deadmore in Joliet,Will Co. & the other was his brother Robert in McLean Co. IL. Robert was killed by a freight train....... Thanks for any help!
