I'm trying to find the ancestors of my gggrandmother, Elizabeth Kirklin/Kirtlin/Kirkland who married William Robertson in Schuyler County in 1831 (Lic # 73). from History of Schuyler County, Illinois Volume I: He married Elizabeth Kirklin {Kirkland}, a girl who came with settler friends from Tennessee to Scott County {Illinois). She stayed with them a few years, then walked to Beardstown , which was then a town of only a few log houses, to visit the Justus family whom she had known in Tennessee. After learning the location of the Justus' farm from the ferry man at Beardstown, she secured transportation by horseback to their home. The Justus family operated a mill in Browning Township at the Meisenheimer ford on Sugar Creek. While visiting the Justus family, Elizabeth met William Robertson who frequently came to their mill. They were married in 1830. He was forty years old, she was eighteen. If I can find where in Tennessee they come from, maybe I can find who her family was. LaVina Walton said that she was told that Elizabeth was a orphan and that her son, Joel went to Tennessee because she was owed money. I haven't been able to find anything else about her. I haven't been able to find her in Scott County, Illinois either. Sara
