Dave, I found the following info on the findagrave site on your Margaret Boyd: Margaret Dunn Boyd Birth: Jul. 12, 1814, Ireland Death: Jul. 9, 1894 Margaret was married to Samuel BOYD on 23 Sept 1845 Burial: Union Cemetery Sparta Randolph County Illinois, USA Record added: Jun 20 2003 By: Lisa Lawder-Eberhardt Rikard Hill -----Original Message----- From: ilrandol-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:ilrandol-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of hudelson8620@bellsouth.net Sent: Wednesday, September 12, 2007 5:43 PM To: ilrandol@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [ILRANDOL] Lookup Request - Preston Cemetery That's very interesting --- Union Cemetery Sparta, and not Preston Cemetery. It seems my mother's record may be wrong, and Margaret Boyd (widow to both William MOORE and Samuel BOYD) is bureid at Union Cemetery. Is there by chance in Union Cemetery a William MOORE who died in 1844? He was born in County Monagham, Ireland in 1812, and he was my great great grandfather. I appreciate your response.
