Dear Dianne, I am interested in the name THEOBOLD. While researching my GGgrandfather, William Morrow SILVER and my GGgrandmother, Mary Ann ROACH WEAVER SILVER, who lived in Hoopeston, Grant Twp., Vermillion Co.,IL, I came across some interesting information on the census for 1900, in Hoopeston. William and Mary Ann SILVER were living with two of their four children and also their grandson and grandaughter, William THEOBOLD, born 6/1879 in IL, age was 20 at the time; and Pearl THEOBOLD, born 2/1881, age 19 at the time. I believe that William and Pearl must have been the children of the daughter born to Mary Ann's first marriage - which was to Noah WEAVER. Mary Ann and Noah WEAVER had two children: Alice, born abt. 1863 and Noah, born in 1864. Alice must have married someone named THEOBOLD, probably abt. 1875-1878. I have no idea what happened to Alice or why her children were living with their grandmother, Mary Ann. Do these names sound familiar to you? The name is not a common one, and it was in the same county, so there's a chance there's some relation to the THEOBOLD you mentioned. Please let me know what you think. Thanks. Beth BSmith7439@aol.com
