Leona, I'm not sure about Belleville, but I am a descendant of the Stoodleys and Lanes and we all came from Hounsfield. My grandmother was Beulah (Washburn) Jenkins, daughter of Wm. Washburn & Ada Stokes -- rings a bell? Your name sounds familiar to me . . . . . Try looking at my website http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~legends/welcome.html where there is *lots* more on these families.
