John Fones b. 1840 NY d. bef. 1910 Auburn, IL. married Mary A. Minnium Chapman Seeking further information on John FONES. According to the 1900 Cook County, Thornton Township, City of Harvey, John was born April 1840 in New York & so were his parents. He died before 1910.

They were both born in PA. Mary's first husband was Samuel V. CHAPMAN 1846-1887. They had 5 children: May, Cora, Arvilla, Artilla, Wallace.

Since my 1999 posting I've found more information about my Robert W. Price. His parents are Philemon Bird Price ( b 25 Jan 1783 in VA; d 6 Aug 1835 in Morgan County, IL) and Mary "Molly" Dorsey Wilmott (b 3 Nov 1792 in Maryland; d 29 Sep 1867 in Morgan Co., IL.) They were married 1 Apr 1810 in Bourbon Co., KY. Their children were: Ann Price(b 1811 Scott Co., KY; d 1873 Morgan Co., IL), Philemon Bird Price, Jr. (b 1818 Scott Co., KY; d 19 Oct 1886 Morgan Co., IL), Robert Wickliffe Price (11 Feb. 1825 Scott Co., KY; d 9 Jun 1887 Sangamon Co., IL); Joel Scott Price (b 1827; d 1889). I believe there are at least 5 more children with no dates available yet: Theodore Price, Mortimer Price, Charles W. Price, Williamson Price, and Andrew Price. The name PHILEMON BIRD PRICE seems to recur in this family - my Robert W. named a son after his father, as did some of his sibli! ngs. So if that name pops up in your research, we may connect somewhere down the line. Keep in touch, Sharon

He was in probate court in Sangamon Co in 1827 as age 19, petitioning the court to appoint John Brannen as his guardian, although his father, William Pate was in attendance in the court.
