Charles Edward and Delila King Wells
"Ed" and "Lilly" moved from Kentucky to Johnston City, IL just before 1910. Delila was from Whitley co., Kentucky. Her parents were Thomas and Susan Jones KING. Thomas's parents were Mathew and Delilah Blevins KING.

I am still seeking information regarding the WELLS family. Ed was a coal miner and from census records it appears that Ed was born in Mississippi but I have no other leads.

Father of Daniel Underwood
Daniel Underwood, b.1852 in MO, m. Elizabeth Bradley 1871 in Williamson Co, d. 1914 Williamson Co, and came to IL in about 1859. I believe, but have no confirmation, that his parents were Reuben Underwood and Nancy Fry from Monroe Co MO. Daniel's death cert lists his father's name as Reuben and his birthplace as MO, but can't find where Reuben and Daniel are listed together. Daniel's death cert states he had been in IL 55 years when he died at 62, but I don't know how Daniel came to IL when he was around seven yrs old, thus missing both the 1850 & 1860 census in MO. I can't find another link to him until his marrage at Marion in 1871. Daniel was my ggf and would appreciate any info that would connect him to his parents.

Frost-Hancock research
I've just begun researching my Grandmother's family, and would appreciate any and all information anyone might be able to give.
My G-Grandfather's name was James FROST. He was married to Gertrude ( HANCOCK) FROST, who may have also gone by the first name of " Elizabeth".
They were suppose to have lived on a farm, in or near Carterville, Il.
My Grandmother, Beulah Mary Frost, was born about 1900-1905. She married William Elza DITTERLINE.
Any information on these surnames, - HANCOCK- FROST-, would be appreciated.
I wasn't raised around this side of my family, and they have all now passed away, so I'm starting my research with only very little information.
