Wayne Co appears to have been a stopping point for my family between places back east and Logan and Sangamon counties, except for the HART and BROWN families. John and Susan Mobley TAYLOR arrived in Wayne Co in the spring of 1819 and moved on to Sangamon Co in the spring of 1829. John and Sophia Koonz BROWN arrived after 1838 and before 1850. 1850 census lists them in the home of Emanual Brown. John and several children, including his youngest son, Thomas, are buried in Buckeye Cemetery east of Geff. Julius Caesar and Catherine Carroll HART and family arrived in 1853. He and wife Catherine are buried in Buckeye Cemetery east of Geff. I believe their daughter Margaret Hart Brown (wife of Thomas Brown) is buried there also in an unmarked grave. George and Mary Jane Tomlinson MILLER and family arrived around 1872 from IN and moved on to Logan Co in the mid 1880's. Two daughters may have been born in Wayne Co. In the 1880 census, the household included George's father, Henry; I don't know when/where Henry died. Am especially interested in information about John and Thomas Brown. Thomas twice lost his wife and was left with small children. First wife was Margaret Hart who died in 1863, leaving daughter Lorinda (2-1/2). Second was Elizabeth A. Butler, who may have been a widow; she died in 1879, leaving Ella (5) and Lucretia (2). Thomas died 20 May 1900, but I haven't been able to identify where. Any links to other list members?
