The brother of your Lydia, my William, had a daughter Elizabeth who married William Griggs Greene. I believe they lived for awhile in Green County, KY before migrating to Menard County. Did you line of Elmores stay in KY or go to IL? I know what you mean about working on this line. I totally quit for nearly a year as I became so frustrated with some of the other family researchers. There is quite a controversy over the father of William Sr. I had a theory which was based on an article I found in an old issue of the Piedmont Lineages magazine (NC/VA genealogy publication). Others kept telling me that this was wrong, but could not offer substantial proof. It all seemed to be based on previous research of others, but there were no citations recorded on any of it. Let me know if you branch of Elmores went on to Menard County, and I will keep an eye out there when I research. Thanks for the info on their children
