I am looking for the parents of Mary Jane Elder who married Eliphalet Eggleston II in
Elkhart County, 3-11-1841. They lived on a farm and raised their family in Decatur County
until 1865, when Eli died. Mary Jane moved first to Jasper County, IL, then to Richland
County, Olney, IL.
I know that Mary Jane was born in Kentucky 7-11-1821/22. She was buried in Clemons, IA.
She died 7-16-1888. She was my GG Grandmother.
I think that her father may have been James Elder who lived in Decatur County around that
time, but I've not been able to verify that.
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jerry W. Egleston
