Thanks to all who responded. I have Daniel Cossairt married to Hellen Conner Dec. 4, 1862, in Vermilion Co., IL, Vermilion Co., Marriage Records. Also Henry Cossart b. 1841 and wife, Nancy Goodner b. 1849 in Vermilion Co., IL, son John M. Cossart b. 1866. This info came from Stearns Co., MN Census. It is possible these two married in MN but Goodner family members and members of my Conner family migrated to Stearns Co., MN about the same time and I suspect he is from Vermilion Co. also.

JHBancroft, These are some of the Grittons in that married into the Pentecost family in Vermilion Co. Martha and Mary Jane were sisters but the Williams are from different families. Might be they are cousins. Your Eliza Jane may be a sister to one of them. Debbie Husband: William O. H.

Walt - Michele is absolutely right. I searched for 15 years for 7 orphaned Faulkner children and finally found them - one was listed as Fortner and 4 listed as Fortune. Hard to get those to come up even with soundex. Hang in there and use every variation you can come up with. Any one reading this, I am still searching for Faulkner & Cole in Vermillion County around 1890-1910. Want to meet descendents of Samuel Faulkner and Mamie Cole, married Verm. Co. 1891. judy@abcs.com -----Original Message----- From: Michele Chavez <michelec@qnet.com> To: ILVERMIL-L@rootsweb.com <ILVERMIL-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Tuesday, November 09, 1999 10:45 AM Subject: RE: [ILVERMIL] Cossairt/Cossart Hi Walt, >I have instances of people from Vermilion Co., IL, with names >spelled, Cossairt and Cossart.

My HISE family has Martins, Cossarts, Bellesfelts, Clines, and more in the Vermilion Co., area. Do any of these names look familiar?

I have instances of people from Vermilion Co., IL, with names spelled, Cossairt and Cossart. I strongly suspect these are the same family and that with the Cossairt is correct. Does anyone know if this is right? Thanks, Walt Conner

Am searching for the ancestors of Ophelia McCandless (1810-1879). In 1828 she married Isaac Beauchamp (1805-1879) and had a child Eusebia Beauchamp (1851/53-1934). They lived in Carlisle and Terra Haute.
