Don't ask me how as that is too involved. lol But Nadine Holder has a site that might have something on these families. Do a search for Historic Mercer County, Illinois and you should find it I think on the first page that comes on your screen. Alot of these people are buried in New Boston, Penniel and Aledo Cemeteries, as I remember seeing some of those names when we were out there last but I wasn't sure which ones were related to my husband's family so I didn't take pictures of their headstones.
