I did a census index search for your family in 1840 and 50, but none showed up in Illinois. There was in 1840, a Charles Gatliff in Racine Co, WI page 79. Could they, or Charles, have moved on from Will Co into Wisconsin? Then...in 1850, I fond a 20 year old Charles Gatliff in El Dorado Co, Greenwood Valley page 56, CA ....born in KY. He was a miner. I wondered if he was possibly a son? Also in 1850 Lee Co, Fort Madison Iowa page 288 is a Christian Gatliff. I thought you might want to check that out, just in case it was Christine (or listed as female) instead of a male Christian. I looked at the Illinois marriage index and didn't see a remarriage for Christine, but it could be there, under some wierd spelling. sorry I couldn't help further. Julie

Hi Julie: Thank you so much for the Census information! I think the Colorado and Ft. Madison, IA Gatliffs are another branch of this line, although it is interesting that you found a " Christian " . This name has never appeared in the line as a male, and we did find Christianas name with that spelling on one other occasion.I will have to check that out! I am aware of a Charles Gatliff in Racine, and believe him to be the Charles from Will Co.We know that one of Christiana's sons, Thomas Cornelius Gatliff was in Racine for a short while but, so far, have not found Christiana there. Again, thans so much for the information. It will definately be helpful!-----------Ron ----- Original Message ----- From: <JulieBskt@aol.com> To: <ILWILL-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, September 06, 2002 3:23 AM Subject: [ILWILL] GRATLIFF >
