I am descended from John, John, Timothy, Joseph, Palmer, Lemuel, Ida G. Whitney. Ida is my great-grandmother. Ida Whitney was born 16 Sep 1854 in Riley, McHenry Co., Illinois and married DeWitt Clinton Ide on 07 Jun 1876 in Sycamore, Dekalb Co., Illinois. They eventually settled in Belleville, Kansas, raising 4 children (Jessie M., Clarence D., George Palmer, and Nellie May). Ida died of tuberculosis on 27 Jul 1910 in Long Beach, California. She is buried in Belleville, Kansas. Does anyone know anything of Ida's father-in-law, Harvey Ide (born 09 Sep 1803 in VT). He is the Ide researchers' brick wall. I would really appreciate any information any family information about Harvey prior to his marriage in 27 Jul 1837 to Sarah Marillia DeLand. Thank you. Janet Ide Rubertone
