    1. [ILVERMIL-L] Researching in Danville, Vermilion County, Illinois
    2. Hi, Trying to plan a short weekend in Danville trying to find where/when my gr-gr- gr grandfather died. From the usgenweb for Vermilion site, it sounds like the courthouse and library are located within blocks of each other. Does anybody know for sure? And does anyone have a reccomendation about a place to lodge? Researching the following families in Sidell Township: GARRETT - TALBOT - SANDUSKY - BAIRD - CHANDLER Gr-gr-gr-grandfather, Marcus GARRETT b. Virginia 1800, raised in Madison County, Ohio moved to Vermilion County 1845/1849. His wife, the former Drucilla PARKER TALBOT died in the 1860's and was buried in the SANDUSKY family plot. According to county marriage records, Marcus remarried a Mary BEARD/BAIRD who seems to have been a widow with four children. Marcus may have declared bankruptcy and/or died in the 1870's. Anybody got a lead? Marcus's oldest son, my gr-gr-grandfather, Aquilla GARRETT, b. Madison County, Ohio, migrated with his parents to Vermilion County and married Sarah A CHANDLER in Danville about 1855. I have NO LEADS on Sarah's family. Anybody researching CHANDLER's in the area? Aquilla and Sarah GARRETT migrated to Neosho County, Kansas in the 1860's. Thanks for your time. Chris
