Think I better just give up. Trying to keep from hitting the send button this morning is proving to be as hard as finding my ancestors.: ) I am also searching for info on Jasper THOMAS, he was born in 1847 m. Nancy J. COOPER IN 1869 in Perry Co, IL. Have conflicting info that Jasper was b. in IN. On my father (Albert Desper THOMAS) death cert . , it states his father Jasper was born in Penn. so am searching both. Jasper and Nancy are both buried in Swanwick cemetary. as are several of the children, Jasper Thomas had a brother Jacob THOMAS b. 1837, maybe b. in IN. maybe ??? He married ELizabeth J. SMITH b. 1849., in Perry Co, IL in 1869. As large as the THomas, Smith, Cooper families were there should be some info somewhere. They lived in the Perry CO area for years and some of family is still in area. Anyone with any info no matter how small, it would be appreciated. Thank you NaDean
