Hi, I'd like to exchange info on the family of John Thomass REES, Jr. (1828-1914) and Elizabeth C. WALTON (1834-1924). John and Elizabeth were both born in the Licking/Fairfield Co. area, and moved their family to Allen Co., KS in the early 1870s. I'd especially like to learn more about Elizabeth's parents and siblings; she was the daughter of Corbin WALTON and Catharine ROOF, and I believe she had a sister named Mary (Mrs. A.J. OWEN). A family group sheet is included below. Anyone with connections, please do write. I have lots to share.
