Illinois Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/Whiteside/788 Surname: Hart ------------------------- I suspect this is your family...the name is shown as Lloyd, not Bret, but he was born in May 1880 and was living with his family in Portland Twp. which is adjacent to Prophetstown. >From the 1880 census, Portland Twp., Whiteside Co., IL Hart, Henry M 36 M Farmer IL NY NY Rachel F 34 M Wife NY NY NY Lennie F 12 S Dau IL IL NY John M 9 S Son IA IL NY Essie F 4 S Dau IL IL NY Berrel F 4 S Dau IL IL NY Roy M 2 S Son IL IL NY Lloyd (May) M 1m S Son IL IL NY Checked the 1870 and 1860 census and did not find them. Henry Hart was not in the 1890 Tax Role for Whiteside Co. and I did not find any of the family in the 1900 Census. Checked the marriage index, misc. cemeteries and a couple other references. Since one son was born in Iowa, I would look there in the 1870 census next. Bob
