He and his family were born in Pa. but moved to Brookville, Ogle Co., Illinois. Believe he moved there sometime between 1850 and 1859. He had brother John that lived in Brookville, Indiana. He also had a brother Henry - but know absolutely nothing about him. I have just seen a letter that Isaac wrote his brother John in 1859. > Appreciate any information concerning this family. > Thank you - Mary Ann <[email protected]> > > > ==== ILOGLE Mailing List ==== > If you have old pictures, biographies, or obituaries of Ogle Co. family that you would like to share with others on the Ogle Co.
