My great grandmother was Lunena Jane Williams b. 1859, probably in Ewing, Franklin County, IL. However, I do not find her in any of the two Williams families of that area. she married her second husband Marion Duty in Williamson County after 1878. (her first husband was James Lance b. 1855 Ewing, Franklin County, IL) I have most of the descendants of L. Jane & James and L. Jane and Marion. I am searching for her parents and siblings.

I believe that "Irwin" is actually "Emery" Thomas HARRIS, my ancestor. Emery T. would have been 18/19 on 1850 census, and was born in IL.
