I am looking for parents and siblings of Russell P Welliver (b. abt 1812, PA). He married Eliza Cool, d of John and Margaret Decker Cool. (Eliza's brother Jacob has a son Russell Welliver Cool, he also came to Mercer IL) He was in Greenwood in 1840 census, next door to John Cool. Still in Greenwood in 1850. By 1860 he is in Mercer Co. IL, living a house away from Jacob Welliver (b. abt 1830) and wife Christianna Cromley, who I think is his son. There are other Welliver's in Mercer who don't show up till 1860, so I assume they came around the same time and are related. Allen and Polly/Mary Welliver, 3 Jacobs, mine married to Christianna Cromley, Jacob A married to Hannah, Jacob(b. abt 1815, PA) and Mary, and Eli and Margaret Marr Welliver. Any help with any of these Welliver's is appreciated, I'm sure they connect, they all came from Columbia PA. Paula
