Hi Lee Ann, In answering your question on why so many came to Illinois, here is a nice piece written on that.. http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Academy/4624/histher.html# Sorry, I don't have the census information. But some of the 1850 census for Williamson County can be found here. http://www.census-online.com/links/IL.html Other sites, that perhaps you have already visited are: http://livin4.com/williamson/ http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/archives/databases.html Several different data bases at the above showing marriage, land records, Civil War etc. http://www.iltrails.org/williamson/ Happy hunting.
