Posted on: SCHOFIELD Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/surnames/s/c/SCHOFIELD/queries/10 Surname: SCHOFIELD ------------------------- I am hoping to find information on the Schofield families that used to live in Gardner, Illinois around 1878-79. My great aunt, Anna Gould, married Willis E. Schofield, son of Joseph who served in 36th IL Volunteers, Company C, during the civil war. Joseph had a brother, William (married to Maria ?) who also lived in that county. At the time, there were other Schofield families living in Gardner, a Henry, a Benjamin, and another William (who married Amanda Haulteman) who moved a short distance away to Plattville, IL in Kendall County. The Joseph and William Schofield we know of, were born in Mossley, England in 1834 and 1836. The Schofields that moved to Kendall County were related to Robert Leach Schofield, a Grundy County Alderman. Other children of Joseph were Mrs. Emma Dee Schofield-Buck and Dr. Herbert S. Schofield of Kankakee, IL. I am hoping to find the connection between these two Schofield families. Thanks for any help.
