Greetings and thank you for taking over our list! I am Marilyn Wills Rabens and I live in Elmhurst, Illinois. Both of my parents were born in Kentucky. Dad in Montgomery County and Mom in Bath Co. There are many different surnames of interest to me and my parents' family lines cross each other several times. I think I've always been interested in family history but did not get down to researching in earnest until about four years ago when we got the internet at home. Lines I am always looking for include the following : Frederick William WILLS (1742-1796)Abraham BECRAFT (1750-1811), James Hardage LANE(1735-1787) O.P. SHULTZ (1819-1899), Moses STULL(1820-1904), Jarrett MONTJOY(1785-1860), Robert DOWNS (1754-1826), William CASSITY(1750-1825), Capt. John STRODE(1728-1805), Samuel CARRINGTON(1755-1818), ???PRITCHARD/PRITCHETT ,among others. I'm excited that we will be having a family reunion in Mt.Sterling this summer and many of the Illinois cousins will be able to visit with our Kentucky cousins once again. We don't get together often enough and most, like me, still feel at home in our beloved Kentucky bluegrass and hills. Anyway, welcome aboard! Marilyn
