I have Miner P. BALDWIN's marriage listed in Jo Daviess Co records as to ElviraMP. BROCK on 3 Oct 1855. I have tracked them (Baldwins/Ferguson's) from Jo Daviess Co, Illinois to Mariposa Co, CA when my husabd's Aunt Ida (Ida M. VARAIN born Dec 1888, listed as niece) is living with Sam FERGUSON and his wife Ester A. (Baldwin) Ferguson. Clealry the Ferguson, McLean , Avery, Baldwin and Bovie families all connect, but how do they connect to Varain, Smith, Brown? Interetsed in the pages from the book you mentioned.
