I am looking for a Joseph GIRTON who should be about 27 years old. I am pretty sure he was in that county at that time. He may or may not be married, I am unsure. I have no info on who his parents or siblings were either, just know he was born in 1813 in PA or NJ and believe he was in Monmouth Co, NJ before coming to IL sometime around 1850. Thanks for any help anyone could give me. Valerie in Kansas
