    1. [ILOGLE] Rosencranz
    2. Found the Rosencranz entries intriguing as I have strong roots in the southern tier of Ogle County. A couple of points which might be of interest--Dorson A. Rosencranz received a disability discharge on 8 Sept 1863. Where did he go? Some of the SE Ogle Co. families migrated on west to Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas. Might he have been among those? Another food for thought--Dorset Rosencranz arrived in Ogle Co. about the same time as Charles Royce--1835. There was another cemetery in Lafayette Township which was abandoned in the 1940s. I believe it may have been called Mt. Pleasant. Was located on what is now Rt. 38 and is near the old Yorty Corners and property owned at one time by the Royce family. A house built in the 1940s is on the property. I have no idea if the records still exist. [I believe the Royce descendants went from IL to either Kansas or Nebraska] I wish I could offer more concrete information; however, I thought this might strike a chord with someone who knows more than I do.
