Hi Faith. All I know abt Sylvia is that she m my g-grandfather WM in Nauvoo , Hancock co IL. in 1844, she was born in PA, her mother was b in PA, and her dad was b in NY. I contacted another WILSEY descendant, and she says her ancestor moved around a lot in the Hancock co IL. / and adjoining MO areas (I think).I think her ancestor was a John, and was born in Duchess co NY. I think most of "my" WILSEYs came from "New Yawk". Christian co and Sangamon co were together at one time, I believe. I'll have to look that up. I have a program that shows the different cos for different years. I think Joseph , my g-grandfather's "Little" brother, b QA co MD 1812, had abt 6 children, one of whom moved to KS. Bob KNOTTS
