Thank you Dixie. This does help. I have been going in the wrong direction, I thought their migration was IL KY IL, but looks like it is Ky IL KY. Now if I can find where Amanda is buried , and where her three unmarried teenage daughters where in 1880, farmed out to family members I would guess. I'm thinking Sam died in IL and with 6 young children she moved back to family. Thanks again. I will concentrate on Daviess Co.
