Hi, fellow researchers,
I don't have relatives listed in this cemetery but it makes me curious
-- the folks started out in Jefferson county, IN and ended up in McLean
county, IL. I have a whole group of relatives who were in Jefferson
county between 1840 and the 1880s/1890s and then moved bit by bit up to
Livingston county, IL which is next door to McLean county.
What was compelling this move? Did other families do the same, or should
I be looking for a reason more specific to my family instead of a larger movement?
Thanks for any ideas you have,
