Going through old mail. Don't know how I accumulate so much. Anyway wondered if you ever put together your wife's info on the Land and Mitchell family? Recently did go through my data and find that I have Julie Mitchell b. 1860 and two sisters, Lucinda and Catherine. Think the William you mentioned is Julia's father or grandfather. Must be grandfather as Julie's mother was Mary Melvina wasn't it? All connected to Jasper Co., IL. Lots of info came in from an assortment of Cummins researchers and was able to put together quite a chart with John Taylor Land and Nancy Ellis. if you are still interested would like to hear more about this branch if you have it. Marian Land Ferguson PS---tried to send this to WILLEB7@aol.com but it wouldn't go so evidently no longer working. Does any one know of the Mary Melvina land who married Edwin Francis Mitchell? Think connected to the Jasper Co., Land, Cummins and Ellis families. So will try this route.
