Mary:
Thanks for the prompt reply to my querry. Your supposition is accurate, as
I do have the Atlanta Camerer family pretty well covered. (TM's son John
has evaded me for the moment.)
I really do not wish to jump to the conclusion that John father of Thomas is
John son of Daniel.
Do any of the subcribers doing work in Edgar Co., IL have any supporting
evidence. The birth dates, though close do not match and the death year is
way off. Perhaps there was another PA John. Does anyone haave access to
the 1840 census records. I once was able to access them via the Historical
Society in Decatur but have misplaced the URL.
does not yet have any probate or related details on this
family. Perhaaps we should give it more time.
Thank you again.
Jeff

Jeff,
All that I have on John, s/o Daniel, is probably what you seen on an
earlier posting. Now, thanks to you I have more on John for my
database. Now that you give me a location, I see that Thomas is buried at
Atlanta Cemetery, Logan Co IL along with his wife Margaret A. Thomas b
7 Jan 1833; d 2 Apr 1916...Margaret A. b 13 Mar 1843, d 6 June 1895.
You no doubt already have this info, but for the benefit on other Camerer
researchers, will post it. There are several other Camerer's buried in this
cemetery, some children of Thomas & Margaret.
