Grandfathers sis Mary Euchner born to John and Barbara apx 1865 Tazwell and brother abt 1866, There was a mention of Groveland and Washington. Would like to find exact dates through an angel lookup.

I tried Cheryl--also with no luck at Familysearch.com. I believe you are a victim of wrong indexing. I frequently found "L" substituted for "S" in my census records, for instance Leverson instead of the correct Severson, and Loren instead of Soren. I tried a few things for you but nothing worked. Good luck. Joan in Illinois

Below is what I have found. While viewing this info, keep in mind that places of birth listed on the US census are antidotal. Iowa Dallas County Spring Valley 1930 Census James A.

Oct. 1857 IL/IL/IL 1880 Census IL, Schuyler County, Rushville Moffit, James 22 IL/KY/France I checked several census years to find Moffits born in France and there weren't many!! So, I zeroed in on this record. Pinkney Maybee m. Elizabeth Moffitt on the 5 June 1870 in Ripley Co, MO 1870 Missouri, Ripley Co. Johnson Maybee, Pinkney 54 Eliza 34, KY Moffate, James, 14, IL MOffate, Josephine, 8, IL January 23, 186?: Elizabeth Moffit applied for the Civil War pension benefits for John Moffit 1860's: John Moffat served in Co C 3 IL Calvary enlisting at Frederick, IL 1860 IL, Schuyler County, Fredrick Moffit, John 27, Canada (French Canadian, maybe???) Elizabeth 23 KY James 3, IL John Moffit married Elizabeth Mack 12/03/1855 in Schuyler County, Illinois You should get some confirmation of the above if you order the pension records for John Maffit of Frederick, IL. In order to apply for the pension, Elizabeth would have submitted affidavits with birth dates of her children.

Be sure to ask them if they also have the Marriage Application. If so, be sure to order both items. I have only dealt with county courthouses to order marriage licenses. So, if you order from UIS,I don't know if you will get a typed copy of the marriage license or a copy of the original. For the cost of paying someone for gas, the copy of the information (either the original or a transcript), etc., you will be much better off ordering the marriage license from the county. However, if you can get a copy of the original (not a typed copy) from IRAD, ordering it through the mail would be the cheapest way to go. Keep in mind that the database that is online has some mistakes in it. Hope you can get what you need from one of those places. Kathleen (STANFIELD) COOK

MARTIN & MARY SHERMAN (OR SHURMAN) they were married in Schuyler Co. IL, on Dec. 17th, 1889. I am trying to locate a copy of their marriage lic. OR any information about either of these two folks. I have been researching the line of FERN ELIZABETH (or ELISABETH) MARTIN, and info. from a family member said that her parents were Aseneth MARTIN (Mrs.) & BENJAMIN TRYON. I have since heard from another relative that possibly ASENETH wasn't her birth mother and that BENJAMIN was her stepfather. If there is anyone out there who knows anything about this family, please contact me. I have a marriage licence obtained recently for FERN and find that her parents are listed on it as MARY SHERMAN & THOMAS A. MARTIN, of Schuyler Co., IL. But Fern's birth certificate seems to be unavailable. The plot thickens! FERN's birth place on her own marriage licence is listed as Farmington, IL - and I have since found that there were several Farmington's in different counties, one Farmington now being FARMINGHAM? So, where do I begin to look for the birth cert. of Fern? Fern died in Clinton, MO and many family members seem to have gone to MO to live - there again - any help would be appreciated on decendants who may be able to assist me. Any help on this line would be greatly appreciated since Fern's son is ill and I would love to try and get his line proved for him asap. (He knows nothing about his family, they simply didn't discuss the family). Thanks in advance to anyone who can assist me in this. All the best, Marion
