Posted on: Morgan Co. IL Query Page Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/Morgan?read=193 Surname: Redmond-Ryan ------------------------- I am looking for any/all information about the PATRICK REDMOND family that lived in MORGAN COUNTY, IL about 1840-50's. Birth record for John Redmond about 1846. Death record for Patrick Redmond'd wife, Ann Ryan Redmond, Death record for James Redmond, son of Patrick and Ann Redmond. Both deaths would be between 1846 and 1852. Any information about the Redmond family would help. Thanks for your time and any help. Bill

Bit by bit, I am piecing together the families of Alex. Smith and Isabella Monroe who came to Morgan County about 1852. Thanks to all the great people in Morgan Co. and the MAGA I have accounted for almost all the 13 children of Alex. and Isabella. However there is one dau. who eludes me. Jane Smith b. 1836 Nairn, Scot. Married George COUSINS in Jacksonville 1876. Her sister's obit says that the Cousins were in Oklahoma (1911) Did they go there immediately after in wedding or did they live for awhile in Jacksonville ? If anybody knows about this couple, I would really appreciate hearing from them. Also, Jane's sister Isabella and her husband Hugh Wilson had a son Hugh b. about 1869 in Jacksonville. He, according to his mother's obit went to New York City. I wonder if there are any Wilsons living in Jacksonville related to Hugh Wilson and Isabella Smith. Anybody with any info on Hugh 1869, please contact me. Marion Baker, St. John's, NF
