Abner and Mahala are in Butler Township in Vermilion Co., Illinois in 1870. John and Susan
are in Middlefork Township in Vermilion Co., Illinois in 1870. Living with them are
Rachel, Phillip, Sarah, Mahala, and a Charles who is 5 years old.
I was looking at the tract record for earliest settlers in Fountain County and I found a
David Liggett who settled here, but came from Montgomery Co., Indiana. Is David related to
Susan?
And....my hobby is looking through my Fountain County books trying to find ancestors for
people and any information that is available. If I can't find info, I tap into my
human sources at the Genealogy Center. When Cain Township is mentioned, I go to Betty
Dodson. She keeps that township's records updated for all of us.
And....no one is ever out of line for asking for answers on their ancestors. Besides,
it's great fun searching for the answers!
