Hello List: I am researching my family late 1800's early 1900's in Boyton Township, Tazewell County, Illinois. Anderson WARE [Cynthia Ann Headley BURFORD] James A. HOWARD family [Sarah WARE] Philip Burford WARE family I have heard that the first school in the area until 1854 was in the home of Philip BURFORD. I have been told Anderson WARE and his wife, Cynthia, Sarah WARE HOWARD, and Philip BURFORD WARE are all buried at Delavan's Prairie Rest Cemetery. I am planning to visit the area the end of April, for the first time, and would appreciate any help or info on my search and visit. Thank you so much in advance for any help, advise, or suggestions, J. GROVES-HURT
