Hey Jim, I was at the library yesterday doing Whitworth research and came across something interesting. Are you still working the McQuillan thing? If so, maybe these folks would be of interest to you. It was a guy named Bernard (?) Williams. Under his name was George E. McQuilan and Mary C. McQuilan and they were listed as STEP CHILDREN. I found them in the 1860 Census, Camden County, Russell Township, Missouri, Little Niangua Post Office. Bernard was #328. I saw them and thought of you.
