    3. Thanks for the information. As for Goodners, at least 4 of my family members married Goodners and of course they had children. In a quick glance thru your message, I did not see familiar names. In fact you have Henry born in Vermilion Co., in 1824 and I don't think the Goodners related to our line would have been in Edgar Co., or Vermilion before mid 1830s. There is a 2 book set of Goodner Family History. I don't know where you are located but I assume maybe Vermilion Co. Jack Goodner of Danville has a set of these books, he is on line, but he is not the least bit interested in genealogy. I don't know if he would consider lending them to you or not. I was told they sold for around $100. If you are around Danville, you might also check the Illiana (sp?) Genealogical Society located in Danville. The error rate for information pertaining to our Conner line is very high in what I have seen of these books. I only have copies of a few pages pertaining to one marriage in particular but have seen other info. My GGGrandmother was Sara Ann Goodner, born in Gallatin Co., KY, Aug 1, 1812, daughter of Jacob Goodner and Hester White. She married John Conner Dec 23, 1828, in Dearborn Co., IN, and they came to Edgar Co., IL in 1835. John's brother Moses, married Margaret Jane Goodner, Feb 28, 1839 in Edgar Co., she was born in Dearborn Co., IN. Another brother, Jacob Conner married Rachael Goodner, also daughter of Jacob Goodner and Hester White on Oct 20, 1836 in Dearborn Co., she was born in Switzerland Co., IN. Sister, Catherine Conner married Michael Goodner, Dec 24, 1828, in Dearborn Co., IN. Michael, son of Jacob Goodner and Hester White was born Mar 4, 1807 in Gallatin Co., KY. Jacob Goodner may have had a brother who came to Vermilion Co., earlier. Do you know who Henry's parents were? In our line, Conners, Goodners and Lights came to Edgar Co.and Vermilion Co., IL, from Dearborn Co., IN, (now Ohio Co.) in the mid 1830s as best we can tell. Let me know if I can be of help.
