Thanks Peg and Chris for you quick response. I see that the Illinois Statewide Marriage Index shows a Don Onstott who married a Mrs. Barbara Pyle in Madison County on April 5, 1877. Previously, a Barbara Pyle had married an Andrew Pyle of Madison County on March 16, 1864 in Perry County. Does anyone have any more on these families. I noticed that on Nov. 2, 1899 a Dan Onstott married a Sophonra Anderson in Gallatin County, and earlier that year a Frank M. Onstott married a Florence/Flora Smith in neighboring Saline County on Feb. 22, 1899. The earliest Onstott I've found in Perry County tonight is an Elihu Onstott married an Ann Wells in Perry County on Jan. 30, 1840. Again, thanks for the help.
