Most of my known Morgan and Scott Co., IL, maternal ancestors seem to have come from there at one time or another, but the ones in which I have the most interest have the Cuddy surname. Specifically, I am looking for information on the parentage and siblings of my great-great-grandfather and grandmother, Martin Thomas Cuddy and Ann Mad(d)rah Cuddy of Yorkshire. Apparently they came to Morgan Co., IL, about 1845 or so. Can you give me any help in locating web sites to look into their parentage and/or siblings? I believe she came directly from Yorkshire, but family lore has it that he was born somewhere in Scotland about 1813 or 1817 and likely moved to Yorskhire as a young man to gain employment, probably as a surveyor.
