Surnames: Leslie, Torrence Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.illinois.counties.vermilion/7462/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I am looking for any information on Rev. James Templeton Torrence, wife Sarah Isabel Leslie Torrence and their children. He moved to Rankin, Ill in July of 1875. His wife and children moved a month or so later. Sarah's mother, Mary Mathews Menoher Leslie lived in that area also. She died in December of 1880 in Vermillion County. I would like to know if she is buried there and where I can get a copy of her death certificate and burial papers. I would also love an obituary and a tombstone photo, if possible. I do not know how long the Torrence family remained in Vermillion County. The 1880 census shows him as U.P. minister. By the 1900 census, they have moved to Missouri. I appears that they were still in IL in 1892. Mother in law, Mary Leslie, is at Rankin with her daughters, Mary Wade and Elizabeth Ritchie on the 1880 census. Any information will be appreciated. Blessings, Lorraine Leslie Besmer
