Michalene, I don't know about Dixon County, but Fillmore County shows the following: BOWMAN - Cornelius M,; George; and William H. MATTISON - none WHITFORD - none SISSON - none SMITH - tons; could you give me a first name? there are at least 18 different first names and some of them have pages of references listed in the index. (I can look in the 1880 book this evening - I'm on my lunch break from work right now and just had to sneak a peak at the email on my computer :) saw your request and decided to quickly look up the names.
