According to Illinois public land records Jane, John, and William Meadows all purchased public land in Mercer County. You can find the records then at the Bureau of Land Management site http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/ If you have any trouble getting them email me privately and I will send them to you from my copy of public land records.

Her land was divided up among her children. Does anyone know if this information can be obtained on the internet or by mail ? Thanks for any help you can give me. > > Linda Ladoski tladoski@mail.blclinks.net Nadine Holder Sierra Vista, Arizona
