So -- if my ancestor was born 1790 VA -- it could have been anywhere, including what is now Illinois? If he died in Illinois in 1850, could that have been the same place in Virginia? My head aches from all this. Someone please help???? Cousin Mary in OK WILLIAMS, BRYANT/BRIANT, ALDERSON, WINFREY, DODD, TURPIN, ADAMSON. All VA & TN
