I am looking for more information on Susan Paragon, who married Willard R.
Center (Cinter) 05 January 1832 in Morgan County Illinois. Susan was born
about 1812 or 1813 in KY, according to the 1860 Menard County IL federal
census, or NY, according to the 1850 Mason County IL federal census, which I
transcribed below. The 1850 census has Willard's birth year as 1808, and the
1860 census has his birth year as about 1807. However, his headstone gave
more exact birth year information. Willard R. Center was b. 4 Nov. 1806 NY,
calculated from age at death and d. 30 Jan. 1879, age 72 years, 2 months,
and 26 days.
Sometimes transcriptions contain mistranscriptions, so I plan to order the
original record to verify and find out more about the marriage and Susan.
I hope that someone on the list has some information about Susan and her
parents in the interim.
