James Jr. moved with his mother to WV when he was around 11. Darlene's parents were Robert and Helen Williamson. Teresa's father's name was Elmer Floyd. James Holley Sr. mother was Pauline French I was told that his father was Leonard Huddleston but I don't see how that is possible since they don't share the same last name.

The library in the Chapel-on-the-Green was closed by the KCHS Board of Directors in mid-July to all researchers, and all volunteers. There is no one to answer your telephone call. There is no one inside who can help you. And the chances are high that no one will be able to help you by post mail. I did look on the web page that is the most knowledgeable (the "GenWeb" page for "Kendall Co Illinois" by "Elmer"...if you put the words in quotes in your search engine it should come up for you). You will know you are there when the background is robin's egg blue, and when you are on the Table of Contents page (with a US flag waving proudly.) I could not find any sign of VanAULT, or of VONALT or of Jane HART on any of his many pages. That's not a positive sign...but since the library is likely to be closed for a long time...perhaps forever...it may be the best answer you will get for some time if you are doing any research in Kendall County.

Also depending on WHO gave the information...maybe Moses didn't give his own info as he was out in fields working... A and B notations are from the actual census pages for example printed page number 332 A meaning the first page of page 332 entries printed page 332 B meaning the 2nd page of page 332 entries. These notations help locate the exact location of any entry.
