Hello, Having ordered and read through 400 plus pages of the Biographical sketches of Rock Is. Co. I found on Helen Whipple Reed b. May 1813 in Cazenovia, NY. Her maiden name was Davenport and daughter of William and Elizabeth OLIN Davenport. I would like to know if anyone knows if she was related to Col. Davenport and if anyone knows of the OLIN line back through her mother. She had an uncle, Abrana OLIN, who wa Judge of the Dist. Court of Columbia in Washington, DC. As of 1885 she was living in Moline and is the ONLY woman mentioned in this book. My gr gr grandfather, A.A. OLIN, moved to Port Byron in 1876 and worked for the WU ticket agency. He married Agnes Belle Maxwell in 1876. I am fairly sure that these two OLINs would have been related, but I doubt that they ever knew each other. I will also check with the Olin Family Society and see what I can find out. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you, Ruth in so. Illinois
