Here is my brick wall, Am looking for the parents of Charles Downs b abt 1791 MD died 1850 in Washington Co., IL., First wife Nancy ( might have been Wilson) and his father or grand father may have been Charles Downes that Married Margaret Russum. Charles and Nancy had a son named Wilson Russum which leads me to belive I may be on the right track but I can find co solid connection. Any help would be appericated, and I will share any information I have. Lawrence Downes Sign up for Internet Service under $10 dollars a month, at http://isp.BlueLight.com
