IL, it has been renamed as the Brunswick cemetery (Genealogists nightmare isn't it?) For the one in Shelby Co., go north about 8 miles on 128 from Shelbyville, to the large overpass. Cross the overpass and RIGHT at the bottom make a left turn. Take it back south a short distance, turn right (Rd 1950 I believe, might be 1900) go a mile or so, and as you pass a woods, watch on the right, and there will be a small white sign, (Brunswick Cemetery) with a white rock road going north. Follow that for some ways, and as you go up a small hill, you will see the cemetery on your left. (It seems like forever to get there, but probably less than a mile) We searched for 2 hours trying to find it, but when there, found the 2 Stones (James R. Robertson and Martha Metcalf) we were looking for so it's the right cemetery. Good luck, John

Thanks for the info...will check it out further. Walt Ayars

Walt, I don't know if this helps but. there were AYERS/AYARS in Wayne Co, IL early also.

Whoops...just realized that I neglected to say that these two families ended up in Mowequa Twp where they raised their families and are buried. Walt Ayars

I am searching for details on the ancestry of two AYARS families: JOHN E AYARS, 1805 TO 1879 who married Margaret Carter (1807-1881). They were originally from New Jersey. MARTIN S AYARS, 1835 in PA to 1873. He married Sarah Meredith and Jennie Ada Ayers. Of course, the surnames are often misspelled in various records but the correct spelling is "AYARS". I have been able to build a good file on their decendants but cannot pinpoint their parents/grandparents. It is probable they came from South NJ...Gloucester/Salem or Cumberland counties. I and several direct descendants would love to be able to hook them up with their true ancestry (eventually they trace back to Robert Ayars of England-RI-South Jersey.)

Rice Daniel named their second son Robert McLaughlin Daniel. Often times, the mother's maiden name would be used in naming a child. Perhaps Spencer C. Rice's wife, Nancy was a McLaughlin and perhaps her father was Robert McLaughlin. So when you research Spencer, look to see if there are any McLaughlins in the area also. This is just a thought. I would be interested in having the generations from Spencer C and Nancy if anyone has them? Please email me at B4Harmony at Highstream which is a dot net. thanks
