http://www.geocities.com/scarletgen/walworth/history/index.html This site might explain why people emigrated from England to Walworth County. I haven't had time to read it thoroughly. My great-grandparents, Robert & Rebecca Mitchell Riley, emigrated from Keighley, Yorkshire in 1883 to Milwaukee and then Ozaukee County to work in the woolen mills. Gail in Appleton
