I know I have some older TOLER lines. Stephen TOLER s/o Thomas Sr and Winifred Massey...their children ended up in Union Co, IL. Charlotte, Merriba, Thomas Jesse, Silas C., Elizabeth, Stephen A, William A, Powell, John M. & Lewis. Silas for example b: 1792 Wayne Co, NC d: 10 Jul 1866 Union Co, IL m: Anna MUSGRAVE they had 8 children also of Union Co, IL. My STOKES goes back quite far as well. Basically the reason I was working these lines are for intermarriages to my direct line which is that of MCINTIRE and YOUNGBLOOD. I was trying to work on my Youngbloods this month (or so, lol) and found a Thomas YOUNGBLOOD b: Bet. 1815 - 1820 in Franklin Co, IL who married (31 Aug 1837 Union Co, IL) Nancy BEGGS b: 1820 Union Co, IL. So i was working on a Youngblood-Beggs line when I looked at your posting. Because they had been in Union Co, IL kind of early, I only found them as far as 1840, and was trying to see if they had any descendants in the area. No luck so far. These are basically my IL lines: McIntire-Gaunt-Youngblood-Stokes-Beggs-Toler-Tolbert-Worthy-Nelson-Elam...now these aren't ALL of Union Co, but basically Southern IL (Saline, Johnson, Williamson, Pulaski..ect) If you'd like to exchange info, feel free to email me directly if you like. My addy is LBALL3466@aol.com I'm on line basically everyday doing genealogy. Linda Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
