I am new to this list and was wondering if anyone had any information on my GGGGrandmother Mary (Polly) J. or G. Clark b 1819-1819, wed George Oiley in Clinton Co 02/24/1831. IL, they had three children David, Susan Elizabeth (my GGGrandmother) and Linny or Jenny first letter on census is unledgeable, then m. John McPhail III in Montgomery Co. 06/19/1842, they had four children George, (twins) Hannah, Mariah ( on one census the girls are listed as McAdams and on girl is named Rachel) and Mary, after his death she married Thomas Edwards also in Montgomery Co. 06/19/1842 , they had 2 girls Fannie who died in infancy and Sarah. Her last known marriage was to Van S. Gordon also in Montgomery Co. 09/06/1864. On the IL marriage search their is a Jennie Oley who married George Fleester Crawford Co. IL 11/18/1880, but do not know if this is my GGAunt or not.
I am trying to find out who the parents are of Mary, I have alot of information past Mary, but nothing before her marrying Oiley also found spelled Oily and Oley. Some people have suggested that her parents are John and Rachel Clark from KY and TN. One of the census said that Mary was born in KY the other in TN. On census' that I have found John and Rachel there never has been a Mary. My sister has a book of History on Montgomery Co. Il and in one passage it says the Alisa Clark sister of Mrs. Oiley maried Daniel Steele, Alisa is listed as John and Rachel on census and probate papers for John. George is listed in John's probate papers but it does not say how he is related to John.
Her daughter married William Beck in Montgomery Co. IL, but that is all we can find on him. we have at this time not found any link to the Moses Beck family from that area. On one census their daught Margaret (Maggie) I, Beck her father was fron KY. This is the only information I have on Wm. Beck.
I hope that this information is enough to link me with one of you or you can lead me in a direction that will help.
