Koren, I am researching John CUNNINGHAM bd app. 1868-1878 born in Hardy Co., WV. and died in Sangamon Co., IL in 1836. Daughter Hannah bd 1797 in Pendleton Co., WV. and died in Sangamon Co., IL in 1872. John states in his will: wife Catharine, daughter Mary Ellen and son Magor Andrew Dyer and son William P. to be their guardian. William P. died in 1838 and Nathaniel P. Cunningham becomes the administrator. Funeral expenses is charged to John's estate for a M. A. D. Cunningham (Magor Andrew Dyer ?). At the time of John's death he had business(?) in both Pendleton Co., WV and Sangamon Co., IL. I found a marriage record ("Marriages of Pendleton Co., VA 1788-1853" compiled by Mary Harter) for a John CUNNINGHAM and Catharine SHURLEY 16 May 1833. Bond 14 May 1833 John CUNNINGHAM, Z. DYER, consent of father and mother John and Mary Ann SHIRLEY. This might have been a second marriage for my John. Do any of these names sound familiar to anyone? Thanks for any help. Betty
