I am researching this couple who were both born in Virginia. They were married in Madison County, Ohio on August 14, 1845. They had 10 children; Matilda, Martha, Mary E., Dolly, and Virginia, all born in Ohio, and Sarah, Rebeccah, George W., Myra, and Charles Edward (my grandfather) were born in Logan County, Illinois where they had emigrated. Washington was the son of Jacob Linson b. Nov. 4, 1785 in Greenbrier County, VA d. Jan. 20, 1846 Madison County, Ohio. m. Dorothea (Dolly) Rader March 15, 1809 in Greenbrier Co., b. Nov. 23, 1789 in Timberville, Rockingham Co., Virginia d. Jan 23, 1883 in Madison Co. Ohio. Washington and Sarah are buried in Richmond Grove Cemetery, Sheridan TWP, IL. Their graves read: Sarah E. Linson, wife of G. W. died May 30, 1881 ae. 53 years, and G. W. died Sept. 28, 1880 ae. 66 years, 6 months, 25 days. In the latter part of his life, he went by Geo. W. Linson even though he had a brother by that name. I can go back another generation on the Linson side but I have come up against a brick wall on Sarah and her family. She was born in 1827 in Virginia. Who were her parents? On an IL census report, it lists a Nancy McBride living with the family. I assume she was Sarah's sister. Is anyone researching the McBride family? I would certainly appreciate your info on this subject. Thanks in advance. Marge in Nebraska df82657@navix.net
