Posted on: Sangamon County, Il Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/Sangamon/1953 Surname: Ketchum, Love, King, Golden, Crutchfield, Hendricks ------------------------- Just a note real quick...these surnames have no known connection to Illinois or any of its counties. I found this at the Sangamon county site. Its a diary from a man with the last name of Reed and it pertains to the Donner Party. Thought you might want to take a look to see what it has to say. http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilsangam/donner.htm Good luck
