Will Co. IL Prison connections....... Hi, Think my Grt-grandfather's quarry provided the stones for the prison or so I have been told. Don't know if it will be helpful, but have you checked the Joliet City Directories? They are online for the years, about 1882-1894, something like that. Think I found them either through rootsweb or the genweb project as an alternative for the 1890 census. Not every one is listed, nor is the info as helpful as I assume the census might have been. Still, if you are lucky, they may help. Good luck, Tricia M. ----- Original Message ----- From: Lorraine Moore To: ILWILL-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Saturday, December 21, 2002 5:46 PM Subject: Re: [ILWILL] Prison Guards and Census I would think he would be listed at his "living" address as opposed to being listed with the prisoners.

Tricia, Thanks for the tip. I had not thought of the city directories.
