Hi!
I recently received three deeds indicating that my 3rd gr grandfather Thomas Lewis Dent, moved from Pope County, IL in 1895 or very early 1896. The deeds also indicate that he was alive in January of 1896. I can't find his name in any 1900 census, so the odds are high that he died between 96 and 1900.
1)January 10, 1895; grantor T.L. Dent, C.M. Dent, Martha Dent, Ellen Dent, all of Union Precinct Pope County, IL; grantee H.G. McCormick of McCormick Precinct, Pope County, IL.
2)January 10, 1895; grantor T.L. Dent of Union, Pope County, Il; grantee M.C. Dent of Union, Pope County, IL.
3)February 11, 1896; grantor T.L. Dent of Anniston, Mississippi County, MO; grantee J.W. Womack of Pope County, IL.
I don't know why he moved to MS County, MO. So far I've been unable to find any relations in that county. He was born about 1825, so why I a man of that age and a widower would pack up and move is hard to understand.
