Sherry, For the life of me, I cannot find the story about Germantown. I know I had it bookmarked, but just can't find it. Have you read that history? I thought there would be a link on the Clinton site but alas....not there. Just hopeful that you have that link. I didn't realize it wasn't in Shelby Co. until you said so. Thanks!

Think it was Washington County (or maybe Bond) in 1814. My early geography of IL requires lookups! > > SHERRY > >
