Hi Collison family,
I found my 3rd great grandmother Cassandra Dale at 12 years of age living
with the William and Martha Collison family in Buena Vista Township, Schulyer
Co., Illinois October 19, 1850 on the 1850 Census. Census Roll 128 page 391.
William Collison 49 Merchant, born in Kentucky
Martha Collison 50 born in Virginia
Robert F. 23 b. in KY
William J. 21 b. in KY
Martha R. 17 b. in KY
John L. 13 b. in IL
Cassandra Dale 12 b. in MO.
this data seems to match up with our Cassandra Dale as we know she was born
in 1838 in Missouri.
Just wanted to know the relation to our Dale/Langner family? Does anyone know
why Cassandra was living with the Collison family? ... Cassandra Dale married
her brother-in-law after her sister Eliza J. Dale's death. Cassandra married
Christian Langner raised her sister's children and had eight of her own. We
descend through their first daughter Agnes Augusta Langer who married John
Jordan.
Any help, connections appreciated!
