Family lore has that 2 brothers came to Missouri but got into a disaggreement and 1 went back to IL. As told it was my Great grandfather Fred and his brother Samual. But I know that they were both born in MO and so was their father Jacob Andrew Grabill. I also know that Jacob's family stayed in MO except for 1 brother, David, who went to Ione, OR. So I wander if the two brothers might be my GGG Grandfather John Thomas Grabill b.1817 of VA and an Unknown brother. We have lots of information from John Thomas down but absolutely nothing befor his marriage in 1840 in Lee Co., VA. All I have to go on are the names of his sons-for what his brother's names may have been. They are Henry H., John W., Jacob Andrew, and David H.

John Thomas came to MO in 1844. Does anyone know of any one who had a brother John b. 1817???
