Searching for any of the listed surnames from around Rushville and Springfield, IL. My ggggrandparents were: John LAWYER married Eliza Jane SCHAFFER around 1855 in Springfield. John's birthdate was January 24, 1834. He died on May 16, 1913 in Washington State. Eliza Jane's birthdate was April 16, 1837. Her parents were Samuel SCHAFFER and Harriet EMERICK. They were from Rushville. Eliza Jane died on May 11, 1924 in Washington State. They had six children; Nancy Mathilda (my gggrandmother), Amanda, William, Dora, Tinee, Henry. The first two children were born in Springfield, and the other four were born around Woodlawn, Washington. Nancy was born on May 30, 1857. Apparently she went back to Springfield to marry a man named SHAW. No information on him. Nancy had my ggrandmother, Lida on December 14, 1874. SHAW either died or she divorced him and moved back to Washington. There she met Albert MOE and had four more children. Nancy died on April 27, 1935. They are all buried in Washington State except for Lida and Robert. Lida married my ggrandfather Robert SLEIGHT. They are buried in Portland, Oregon. Thanks, Julie Hendrix
