Judy, Thanks for posting this info on Mildred. She is my grandfather's brother's daughter, which I guess makes her my 1st cousin once removed. I am looking for information on my great great grandparents Benjamin LG Lunn and Rebecca Cummings Williamson. Info I have is that Rebecca died between Aug 1870 and Mar 1871 probably in Illinois. Have not been able to locate any records on where she is buried. Benjamin remarried and I think probably died in Missouri, but might have been Massac County. If anyone has information on this line, I would appreciate hearing from them.
