Hi, Boy, do I have Vermilion County kin! I'll start with a short tale... My FURROW family is first found in the early 1800s in PA as Quakers. They split off for OH, IL, and some remained in PA. One, DALONE FURROW took off on his own & was never heard from again. (not to be confused with a couple guys named after him, later down the line).I also have a copy of a FURROW coat of arms. Some of the given names in this family are so unusual that I'm just going to list the 1st couple of generations: Isaac William P. (also seen w/M.) Mary Ellen WRIGHT John Henry Samuel L. Jasper Methias or Mathias Morton Oliver Frank Annie m. Vollmer CORRELL Elam Archibald A. Ida May Flora Ellen PETERSON Algie Mota Orilla m. Charles Henry GRANT Ola May m. Clifford Cleveland KUNCE Cleo Wanda m.Arley WOODS Venice Irene Velma Lorene m. Leonard DUNCAN Forrest Gale Justin Leroy Dalone Earl Racheline Elizabeth( my grandma) m.HARDEN & TOLMAN That gives you an idea of my FURROW line. Places associated w/these names: PA, OH, IN, CA Blue Grass, Rankin, Hoopeston, Danville, Potomac, IL. many FURROWS & assoc families are buried in Floral Hill Cemetary. Other assoc. IL families: LANE, PHIPPS, GAW, RODERICK, DOYLE, GEARHART, WILLIAMS, BAKER, PILKINGTON, FORE, BLANKENSHIP, BEHIMER, MCGINNIS. I'm looking to link my info with the info of others w/these lines. Happy to share, grateful for leads! Patricia Washington State way2moon@prodigy.net

Dear Rooters, If someone has access to the 1830 and 1840 Illinois census index books would you please check the entries for John Juvinall/Juvenall. What I need to know is if his wife is counted on the census. I am trying to determine if his wife died in Vermilion county or not. Our library here in Tyler only has the 1850 census index book. Thank you for your time. Glenn Rutz Tyler, TX
