Hi Sally, Thank you so much for pulling this record for me! I do also believe that thats my best choice at this time. I found Michael Manning Jr., living close to rest of the family in Channahon in the 1865 Census but I lost him from there thinking that he had died until just recently. I found a will that lists him as still alive in 1887. He's the only one that might still have kin alive even now. Thanks again!
