William and Sara STEPHENSON:
I am seeking the cemetery in which Sara and possibly William Stephenson are buried in Hancock Co. IL.
Here is the information that I’ve confirmed thus far:
William and Sara are found in:
1860: Illinois: Hancock Co. Wythe Twp. pg. 20
1861-1868: Sarah dies between 1861-1868 while living in Hancock Co. IL.
1862: William enlists in Company H. 118th Illinois at Basco. Pension file states he is resident of Wilcox.
:
1865: Newspaper article: Illinois: Hancock Co. Wythe Twp. 12 year old son killed when dragged by a colt.
1868: Find marriage certificate for William in Anderson Co. Kansas in 1868-marries Sophia Spriggs Brown
1880 Census: Wythe Twp. Hancock Co. Illinois: Found in the household of James P Randall, son in law.
1885: 14 Nov. William dies—possibly in Kansas but I find no intestate or will papers there.
I would appreciate any information that you may find on William and Sara. Thank you so much for your kindness in doing lookups. William and Sara are my 2nd great grandparents.
Regards,
Barbara
